CNPC+ 1.11 Beta - The Scripting Update

🟡 In Testing

Scripting:

• Syntax Highlighting:

Full color-coded script editor. Keywords, types, variables, methods, strings, and comments are all distinct. Scope-aware coloring distinguishes local fields from globals and chained method calls.

• Autocomplete:

Smart suggestions as you type. Context-aware for static vs instance access, shows method parameters, resolves chained calls, and suggests auto imports for classes. Frequently used members prioritized.

• Error Detection:

Catch mistakes before running. Type mismatches, wrong arguments, missing methods, unused imports, duplicate definitions, and more -- all underlined with hover messages explaining the issue.

• Hover Information:

Hover any symbol to see its type, documentation, and declaration. Works on methods, fields, classes, and even generics. Click to pin tooltips in place.

• Script Editor Overhaul:

• Line Numbers - Gutter with current line highlighting.
• Go To Line - CTRL+G to jump to any line.
• Search & Replace - CTRL+F / CTRL+H with real-time highlighting.
• Go To Definition - CTRL+Click to jump to any symbol.
• Smart Undo/Redo - Word-level instead of character-level.
• Line Operations - Duplicate, delete, move up/down.
• Comment Toggle - CTRL+/ for selected lines.
• Rename - Rename a symbol across all occurrences.
• Smooth Scrolling - Eased scroll animation.
• Indent Guides - Scope-highlighted vertical indent lines.
• Brace Matching - Highlighted pairs, red for unclosed.
• Smart Brackets - Auto-pairing for {}, (), [], "", ''.
• Fullscreen Mode - Expand editor to fill the game window.
• Shortcut Overlay - View all keyboard shortcuts at a glance.

• Java Scripting (Janino):

Write scripts in real Java compiled at runtime. Name methods after hooks for automatic wiring. Language selector per tab to switch between Java and JavaScript. External .java file support.

• Client-Side Scripting:

Run scripts on the client for responsive experiences. Server-controlled -- off by default, must be explicitly enabled. Script files sync automatically on login and reload.

• Cloner Tab Overhaul:

Folder-based organization for saved NPCs, items, and entries. Full-width directory browser for large collections. Improved tab navigation.

• Animation Improvements:

Data store for passing data across animation events and frames. New consumer-based task system for animation lifecycle. Expanded scripting API for animation control.
