The Refactor Update

The refactor is here! I give you a beta of 1.0.0 because it misses the "interaction update" that is planned for the initial 1.0.0.

This update is a complete refactor of the mod to have a fresh and maintainable project and to resolve all the crash issues happening.

If you find any bugs or crash PLEASE let me know either is discord or github issues

Note: Your old NarrativeCraft data will not work with 1.0.0, it will throw an error.

Only 1.21.8 for this beta, 1.0.0 will come with 1.21.1 and maybe 1.20.1.

I made so many changes in the codebase that I can't remember everything I did... lol.

Tag changes

• Camera tag has been changed from "camera set %parent% %child%" to "camera %parent% %child%"
• Weather change tag has been changed from "weather set <clear, rain, thunder>" to "weather <clear, rain, thunder> [instantly=true/false]"
  Note: weather changes are automatically instant if it's not singleplayer, otherwise everyone has the same weather.
• Dialog parameters are now in snake case. "unSkippable" was renamed to "auto_skip"
• Added "manual_skip" in Dialog Parameters to disable "auto_skip"

Added

• Playback command: play animation or subscene (must have a session)
• Custom Debug interface when pressing F9

Fixed

• Variables in main.ink file overriding when creating a new chapter or scene
• Crashes, crashes and oh... CRASHES!
• And many more fixes I can't remember

Update

• Variables and Functions now have their own unique files. main.ink becomes a protected file where you must not write.
• Everything real-time based is now tick-based.
• You can now place a keyframe between two keyframes.
• Ink Action refactored to allow third-party mod developers to add their own ink actions.
• No more need to add ":" twice in dialogs to get this character.
• Text effect names renamed: [shaking] -> [shake], [waving] -> [wave]

Refactor

• The entire system of dialogs, 3D and 2D
• StoryHandler class, 1000+ lines reduced to 450
• The entire system of controllers, cutscene controller, camera controllers... it's now much easier to create a controller.
• InkAction system, it now has a registry and runs either on client or server tick, can render on HUD or in the world.
• Data initialization is much more optimized
• An much more, like, I refactored everything I could.
