No change for the function of the plugin, except if there are new bugs.
Actual changes:
* Keep track of squared distance to the previous element in a trace.
* Balance mergeDist: prevent merging the latest entry, if the squared
distance from the latest to the second latest element is greater
than mergeDist. Never merge if there are only two entries in total.
* Add convenience methods for resetting and updating the trace.
* Maintain the moving traces actively. With intended use being
player-player interaction, we will not reset with every teleport.
Just the raw implementation + initial test cases. To keep memory use
constant, a ring-buffer with some maximal size will be used. The
iterators are meant for faster implementation, rather than fastest
iteration. Later some trigonometric functions could be added to
LocationTrace, depending on if that may gain a lot of performance.
Next we will add the logics for adding entries and resetting the trace
to NCP (moving, teleporting, joining), on Logout the trace must not stay
in MovingData but should be garbage collected. That should be a
milestone dev build, though it does nothing for the user, it might help
finding crash bugs :p.
Soon to follow will be changing some fight checks to be able to use the
moving trace, then alter them to actually use it. Fight and interact
checks could also do moving consistency checking (tp exploit).
Who reads this?
The cancelled BlockPlaceEvent will lead to an extra sign being dropped,
while the item in hand stays. Odd enough, the cactus is removed before
the BlockPlaceEvent - need to check if a ticket exists for CraftBukkit
already...
Now players are forced to create moving events with CraftBukit,
in order to get above the trigger-distance, thus moving checks can
complement this (in theory).
This could lead to more false positives.
This is a workaround for the case that sprinting events are missing,
wrongly set up or for events firing in an unusual order.
This does allow speeding hacks that allow players to go at sprinting
speed without telling the server, so it should only be turned on if
there is any issues.
The option has to be turned on: checks.moving.assumesprint
