hexdoc-hexic 1.4.6.1.2

Miscellaneous neat features and QoL patterns for Hex Casting.

hexic

 

a small hex casting addon adding whatever features i find neat or that feel interesting, as well as some bugfixes.

coming from siege? view the summary page too

new features

• mediaweave, can be worn on shoulders and lets you easily cast up to two hexes
• shardcasting, letting echo shards work as single-use reusable casting devices for e.g. raycasts
• stringworms, little creatures to accompany you while hexxing
• media pouches, convenient & efficient media storage that recycles wasted media
• greater reveal, permanently displays a list of iotas in chat & deletes them when re-executed (for e.g. status indicators)
• lani gambits, allowing casting items to access your staffcasting stack
• patchwork iotas, allowing defining custom operations on a set of iotas
• maps, fast k→v iota storage (used by patchwork iotas)
• nbt manipulation, for thoroughly inspecting items & iotas
• adds /gimmeiota (push any iota to stack) for creative players or level 2 ops
• adds /property for level 4 ops

foreign compat

• item stacks no longer get voided above 127
• i think i accidentally disabled phantoms
• hexical Hopper can be used with kinetic's Conduits; bypasses ambit

development

put code in the following files:

• EarlyRiser.scala — something that needs to get loaded before launch, e.g. agents
• Utils.scala — utilities that aren't specifically related to the mod
• Hexic.scala — anything else

building

there are three major ways to build:

• nix: nix-shell, gradle runDatagen, gradle build
• manual: install aseprite, go, jujutsu, imagemagick, gradle 8.14, and gnu m4, then gradle runDatagen; gradle build as usual

docker

isolated container environment gives you a guarantee of build reproducibility, if you don't care about build speed

• simple local build: docker build . -f build.Dockerfile -o some/output/path/
• build without cloning: docker build https://codeberg.org/poollovernathan/hexic.git#main --build-arg BUILDKIT_CONTEXT_KEEP_GIT_DIR=1 -f build.Dockerfile -o some/output/path/

you can optimize your builds by using the cache, which requires creating a build container: docker buildx create --driver docker-container --name hexic-builder

• precached local build: docker build . -f build.Dockerfile -o some/output/path/ --builder hexic-builder --cache-from docker.pool.net.eu.org/hexic:cache
• precached build without cloning: docker build https://codeberg.org/poollovernathan/hexic.git#main --build-arg BUILDKIT_CONTEXT_KEEP_GIT_DIR=1 -f build.Dockerfile -o some/output/path/ --builder hexic-builder --cache-from docker.pool.net.eu.org/hexic:cache
