F: Minor edit to force page regen

This page demonstrates examples of modifying and extending fCraft via source code modification.

==Hooking up custom code==
{{warning|This method of modding fCraft's code directly will be obsoleted if/when the plugin system is done}}
Until the proper Plugin API is finished, I recommend minimizing edits to fCraft's existing files, and trying to contain all custom code in your own namespace/files. You will need to make at least one change to Server.cs though, to add your code to run on startup. Use that very first call to subscribe to various events. For detailed information about the startup procedure, see [[API: Startup]].
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
// Add this to beginning of Server.InitServer
ClassWithMyMods.Init();

// Meanwhile, in ClassWithMyMods:
// Use this to hook up events. Dont do anything else quite yet.
public static void Init(){
Server.Initialized += MyServerInitializedHandler;
Server.Started += MyServerStartedHandler;
// etc events
}

// This is where you can go ahead and register custom commands, brushes, etc
// Server.Initialized is invoked after everything else in Server.InitServer() is done
static void MyServerInitializedHandler( object sender, EventArgs e ){
CommandManager.RegisterCustomCommand( CdMyCommandStuff );
}

// This is where you can start timers, open up ports, manipulate world list, etc
// Server.Started is invoked just after server fully finished its startup routine
static void MyServerStartedHandler( object sender, EventArgs e ){
Scheduler.NewTask( MyTask ).RunForever( myTaskInterval );
}
</syntaxhighlight>

==Calling custom code at regular intervals==
The following example will call '''BleepTask''' method every 10 seconds.
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
// Interval at which your callback is called
TimeSpan bleepInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 10 );

// Adding your callback
Scheduler.NewTask( BleepTask ).RunForever( bleepInterval );

// Your callback. Implements SchedulerCallback delegate.
void BleepTask( SchedulerTask task ){
Chat.Say( Player.Console, "bleep" );
}</syntaxhighlight>
Besides '''RunForever(TimeSpan)''', SchedulerTask has many '''Run*''' methods for running a task once, several times, or forever - with different delays and at different intervals.

==Checking incoming players==
There are many events fired while the player is connecting. For a full explanation, see [[API: Login]]. For example '''Player.Connected''' event is fired after fCraft looks player up in the database/verifies name/checks bans, but just before a handshake reply is sent to the player. This event allows addition more checks before player is allowed into the server.
Here we're using '''Player.Ready''' event, which is fired when a player is fully connected, and just after they join the main map. This is where all announcement code should go.
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
// Subscribing to the event
Player.Ready += OnPlayerReady;

// Event handler
void OnPlayerReady( object sender, PlayerEventArgs e ) {
// if connecting player is of highest rank (presumably owner)
if( e.Player.Info.Rank == RankManager.HighestRank ) {
// Get a list of players who can see them join
// (to avoid accidentally revealing hidden owners)
var playersToMsg = Server.Players.CanSee( e.Player );
// Spam them (use &Y colorcode, which maps to SayColor)
playersToMsg.Message( "&YOMG THE OWNER IS HERE! EVERYONE SAY \"HEY {0}\"",
e.Player.Name );

// or, if player's name contains the word "grief"
} else if( e.Player.Name.Contains( "grief", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase ) ) {
// Spam everyone some more!
Server.Message( "&YLOOK OUT! GRIEFERS ARE COMING!" );
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>

==Adding a new command==
New commands can be added by calling '''CommandManager.RegisterCustomCommand'''. You need to provide a '''CommandDescriptor''' object. If there is any conflict between your command and existing ones, or if some aspect of your command's descriptor is unacceptible, a '''CommandRegistrationException''' will be thrown.
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
// Command descriptor
CommandDescriptor CdBleep = new CommandDescriptor {
Name = "bleep",
Aliases = new[] { "bloop" },
Category = CommandCategory.Chat,
Permissions = new[] { Permission.Chat },
Help = "Prints a number of bleeps in chat.",
Usage = "/bleep [Times]",
Handler = BleepHandler
};

// Command handler - must implement CommandHandler delegate
void BleepHandler( Player player, CommandReader cmd ) {
int numberOfBleeps = 10;

// if a param is given
if( cmd.HasNext ) {
// try to parse it as a number, and save to numberOfBleeps
if( !cmd.NextInt( out numberOfBleeps ) ) {
// if that fails (not a number), print usage
CdBleep.PrintUsage( player );
return;
}
}

// check the range
if( numberOfBleeps < 1 || numberOfBleeps > 32 ) {
player.Message( "Specify between 1 and 32 bleeps." );
return;
}

for( int i = 0; i < numberOfBleeps; i++ ) {
Chat.SendGlobal( player, "bleep" );
}
}

// Registering your command with the server
CommandManager.RegisterCustomCommand( CdBleep );
</syntaxhighlight>

==Reacting to server shutdown==
There are two events associated with shutdown: '''Server.ShutdownBegan''' and '''Server.ShutdownEnded'''. Both supply a '''ShutdownEventArgs''' object that provides information about the shutdown parameters. For more information about how server shutdown works, see [[API: Shutdown]].
<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
// Subscribing to the event
Server.ShutdownBegan += OnShutdownBegan;

// Event handler
void OnShutdownBegan( object sender, ShutdownEventArgs e ){
Console.Write( "The end is near!" );
if( e.Restart ){
Console.Write( "But we will be back shortly." );
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>

==Starting selections==
If you need the player to mark one or more coordinates for you (for example for a draw command), you'll be using the Selection API. Call player.StartSelection(...) to initiate a selection, and return control to fCraft. If/when player marks the required number of blocks, your callback will be called. If player cancels, disconnects, or starts another selection, then your callback will not be invoked.

Also note that while a player is in selection mode <code>Player.PlacingBlock</code> and <code>Player.PlacedBlock</code> events are not fired for clicks. <code>Player.Clicking</code> and <code>Player.Clicked</code> events are still fired.

<syntaxhighlight lang="csharp">
// This is where you start/set up the selection.
// You can call SelectionStart() from anywhere, really. Doesn't need to be a command handler.
static void ClickityHandler(Player player, CommandReader cmd) {
// Random number to demonstrate argument passing. You don't need it.
int randomNumber = new Random().Next();

// Let player know that a selection started
player.Message("Click anything! Random number is {0}", randomNumber);

// Start it!
player.SelectionStart(1, // number of blocks to click (must be at least 1)
ClickitySelectionCallback, // our callback function
randomNumber, // an argument to pass to the callback (can be anything or null)
new Permission[0]); // you could omit this completely

}

// The callback function. fCraft will call it automatically when the last block is marked.
static void ClickitySelectionCallback(Player player, Vector3I[] marks, object tag) {
// Retrieve the parameter
int randomNumber = (int)tag;

// Marked coordinates are in an array, in same order that they were clicked/marked.
// You can assume that it has at least as many marks as you asked for (in this case, at least 1)
Vector3I coord = marks[0];

// Let player know that it finished
player.Message("You clicked at coordinates {0}, and random number was {1}", coord, randomNumber);
}

</syntaxhighlight>
Related properties: <code>Player.DisableClickToMark</code>, <code>Player.IsMakingSelection</code>, <code>Player.SelectionMarkCount</code>, <code>Player.SelectionMarksExpected</code>, <code>Player.IsRepeatingSelection</code>

Related methods: <code>Player.SelectionAddMark(...)</code>, <code>Player.SelectionExecute()</code>, <code>Player.SelectionResetMarks()</code>, <code>Player.SelectionCancel()</code>

==Adding custom permissions==
To add a new permission:
* Add a new constant to <code>Permissions</code> enum (<i>fCraft/Player/Permissions.cs</i>)
* Give the new permission to some default ranks (at least to the highest rank), in <code>Config.DefineDefaultRanks()</code> (<i>fCraft/System/Config.cs</i>)
* Add a tooltip explaining the permission in ConfigGUI's <code>MainForm.FillToolTipsRanks()</code> (<i>ConfigGUI/MainForm.ToolTip.cs</i>)

To add a per-rank limit to the new permission:
* For every rank that has this permission, add a default limit to <code>Config.DefineDefaultRanks()</code> (<i>fCraft/System/Config.cs</i>)
* Add a way to set the limit in ConfigGUI's <code>MainForm.FillPermissionLimitBoxes()</code> (<i>ConfigGUI/MainForm.cs</i>)
* Add a tooltip explaining the permission limit in <code>MainForm.FillToolTipsRanks()</code> (<i>ConfigGUI/MainForm.ToolTip.cs</i>)

*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.
*Fixed a bug in the server-to-irc code that forwarded a blank message if there was nothing after '#' in server chat.
*Handshake packet is now written when doing /join, to replace MOTD with a more informative "Now loading [worldname]".

===0.400===
*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.
*Fixed a bug in the server-to-irc code that forwarded a blank message if there was nothing after '#' in server chat.
*Handshake packet is now written when doing /join, to replace MOTD with a more informative "Now loading [worldname]".

===0.400===
*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.
*Fixed a bug in the server-to-irc code that forwarded a blank message if there was nothing after '#' in server chat.
*Handshake packet is now written when doing /join, to replace MOTD with a more informative "Now loading [worldname]".

===0.400===
*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.
*Fixed a bug in the server-to-irc code that forwarded a blank message if there was nothing after '#' in server chat.
*Handshake packet is now written when doing /join, to replace MOTD with a more informative "Now loading [worldname]".

*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.
*Fixed a bug in the server-to-irc code that forwarded a blank message if there was nothing after '#' in server chat.
*Handshake packet is now written when doing /join, to replace MOTD with a more informative "Now loading [worldname]".

*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.

*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.

*Zones: Added /ztest command that lists all zones affecting a particular block. It can be used to detect and resolve zone overlaps.
*Zones: Added proper /help entries for /zone, /zones, /zremove, and /ztest, and contextual help for /zone and /zones.

*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.

*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*Added back /load command, and hooked up MCC. Currenly supported: fCraft/fcm, MCSharp/lvl, indev/mclevel, MinerCPP and LuaCraft (dat). Vanilla support coming soon.
*Fixed worlds being unloaded before all block updates are processed (thus aborting draw commands).

===0.400===
*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.

*Added a limiter to the number of block updates that can be processed per tick (even if there are no players in a world). Fixes server becoming unresponsive when doing enormous drawing commands (millions of blocks).
*Allowed players to /join the world that they are already on.

===0.401===
*'''IDLE/AFK CHECKING''' This is configurable per-class.
*Added /version command, and added revision to the version string.
*Added an option parameter to /lock and /unlock to target a specific world, and added global /lockall and /unlockall commands.

*Fixed players not spawning in the right place when changing worlds.
*IRC Bot will now handle terminations by the IRCd and restart itself upon any errors.
*IRC Bot can now send from inside the server TO IRC! Use the prefix '#' in-game to send any message to IRC. Forwarding all server chat may be added if requested. To send from the bot to the server, use the bot's nickname and either ':', ',' or nothing, then your message.
*Improved performance of the IRC bot and the task scheduler.
*Fixed a bug with getting the server url from the externalurl.txt file crashing the IRC MessageHandler() when the file didn't exist. FORWARD_ALL is now enabled for both SERVER and IRC for 100% transparent chatting.
*Fixed a bug in the server-to-irc code that forwarded a blank message if there was nothing after '#' in server chat.
*Handshake packet is now written when doing /join, to replace MOTD with a more informative "Now loading [worldname]".

===0.400===
*'''MULTIWORLD''' It's finally here. See /help for information on new commands: /worlds, /wload, /join
*Added a persistent world list, saved in worlds.txt - this is subject to change. The file contains a list of world names, each corresponding to an .fcm file. The first world listed at the top of worlds.txt is the default/main one.
*'''IRC BOT''' Thanks to the efforts by Destroyer661, fCraft now has an optional IRC bot for relaying chat and commands.
*A field has been added in the config to allow forwarding ALL IRC CHANNEL TRAFFIC to the server. This will override the prefix and make it inactive. 'IRCBotForwardAll' is set to false by default.
*'''ZONES''' It is now possible to make guest zones and op zones (and anything in-between) on any map. See /help for information on new commands: /zones, /zone, /zremove.
*Added 2 new permissions: ManageZones and ManageWorlds. You might need to update your config.xml to add these permissions to appropriate classes.
*Added /compass command (aka /where).
*Fixed players sometimes not seeing their /kick message.
*Added a way to teleport to specific coordinates (/tp x y h)
