More chat patterns (timestamp and log), take 2 #49

SaphireLattice · 2025-10-03T23:50:14Z

Now directing it to main, and added Forge!

Uh, I've not tested if it even builds, Gradle decided to be shit to me. So I need some help here, whee.. :'D

…em too Also fixes a Fabric-only bug where global messages get recorded only when someone doesn't have a prefix set up

The build seems to be failing.

SaphireLattice · 2025-10-06T16:20:05Z

On one hand, it ended up with a bunch of issues due to writing this blindly without building. On another, it was not that bad?

For some reason getServerLevel() kept nagging me to use try-with-resources and something about AutoCloseable and I'm not sure what's up with that. Is it for marking "hey there's something working with the level, don't discard it yet" or what?

Left several comments with specific changes that need to be made, as well as some questions and higher-level concerns.

+            const val MIN_MAX_CHAT_LOG: Int = 0
+            const val MAX_MAX_CHAT_LOG: Int = 341 // TODO: take into account the stack size config...


This feels like a really weirdly specific default. What about something like 256 instead? Or 64 might be a more reasonably balanced value.

Nit: this should either be on the same line as the if, or it should be wrapped in {} for clarity.

The input/output needs to be updated for all of these.

It's not a reflection if it pops values from the stack.

-        if (!text.startsWith(prefix))
+        // Just in case! People configure stuff in the weirdest ways
+        if (server.maxChatLog == 0)


What happens if it's less than 0?

object-Object · 2025-10-07T00:59:34Z

Fabric/src/main/java/ram/talia/moreiotas/fabric/eventhandlers/ChatEventHandler.kt

+        while (messageLog.isNotEmpty() && messageLog.size > server.maxChatLog) {
+            // Just in case somehow we end up putting two "at once" even though this is only place this is touched
+            messageLog.removeFirst()
+        }
+
+        messageLog.addLast(ChatEntry(text, timestamp, player.name.string))


If messageLog.size >= server.maxChatLog at the start, then this code results in messageLog containing server.maxChatLog + 1 entries. I think the loop condition should be >= instead of > to fix this.

Common/src/main/java/ram/talia/moreiotas/common/casting/actions/strings/OpChatLog.kt

After discussing this on Discord, I think this pattern should be changed to pop nothing from the stack and push a list of lists, where each inner list is [message, username]. The list should contain all public chat messages that were sent in the most recent tick where at least one user sent a chat message.

For example:

If no chat messages have been sent since the server started: []

If the most recent chat message was sent by object_Object, and only one message was sent that tick: [["message contents", "object_Object"]]

If both object_Object and chloetax sent a message 1 second ago: [["message 1", "object_Object"], ["message 2", "chloetax"]]

Could you add some comments to this and the Forge equivalent to clarify the control flow and what happens in each case? (eg. sender doesn't have a prefix set, sender has a prefix set but the message doesn't start with it, sender has a prefix and the message starts with it)

        if (prefix == null) {
            lastMessages[player.uuid] = text
-            lastMessage = text
-            return true


Why was this removed?

object-Object · 2025-10-07T01:25:34Z

Also, the build is still failing. Have you tested this locally at all?

More chat patterns (timestamp and log), take 2 #49

Are you sure you want to change the base?
