- Never skip undoing changes. This is necessary to also process commands
that are not registered or that are fall-back aliases.
- Check adding all plugin commands always.
- Check for aliases as well for decision if to match a command.
These seem not to have been affected beforehand, due to the nature of
the SimpleCommandMap, however we don't want to exclusively rely on
fetching that one successfully.
Setting a set-back location with a null World will now lead to a
NullPointerException. Setting null worlds on set-back locations is not
intended by contract, however due to using temporary Location instances
with Entity.getLocation(Location) and setting the world to null
afterwards to prevent memory leaks, also considering the number of
places where setSetBack is used, this seems to be an appropriate measure
to track better or help excluding violations of that contract.
This does not change the used methods much, thus it will rather allow
much more cheating, however it allows some basic testing for false
positives. The reach implementation has been slightly optimized to run
faster. The current implementation is not final and only uses trace
elements that were added in the current tick, the latest is always
included.
Next steps will probably be:
* Stricter methods for an individual TraceEntry (demand near-exact hit).
* Don't allow random latency shifting. Maintain a window-thing.
* Probably get rid of the classic method for attacking other entities.
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.
