Aeronautics:Tweaks & Toolkit

[1.1.1] — 2026-09

The physics staff got a new, wheel-centric control scheme and HUD, and scaling went from "it only looks bigger" to actually rebuilding the collider and mass — with entity collision honouring the scale too.

Added

• New control scheme (new_control_scheme, on by default, overrides the old bindings): Ctrl toggles multi-select, the wheel switches function, LMB applies the selected function; the old Z/V/O/K/R/C/X now exist only as function entries. Three modes (normal / multi-select / group drag) each have their own function list and remember the last selection.
  • Sustained functions take over the mouse and wheel: scale = LMB to start → wheel to resize → LMB to confirm; region select = LMB to start → RMB sets the corners → wheel adjusts the distance → LMB cancels; hold-type functions (view lock / centre group) work while LMB is held.
  • Ctrl is a "click": it only toggles when nothing else happened between press and release. A mouse click or wheel use during the hold turns it into a chord instead (Ctrl+wheel falls through to the vanilla hotbar in normal and multi-select mode), and group-drag mode never toggles multi-select.
  • Idle state: switching to the staff does not enter any mode, and every staff input except "LMB to enable" and the wheel (hotbar) is ignored — RMB/MMB, Aeronautics' native right-click drag and Ctrl multi-select all do nothing — while the HUD says "LMB to enable". One LMB enables it; switching away resets it.
  • View lock (formerly hold-C) had no key left in the new scheme, so it became a function entry (normal mode, hold LMB) — the feature itself is unchanged.
  • Lock is the first function in both normal and group-drag mode (matching the original left-click-to-lock), so the cursor starts on it after enabling.
• A single body can enter drag mode too: right-clicking a body that is not in the queue builds a temporary one-member group and enters group drag. That temporary group coexists with the main multi-select queue, is dropped when the drag ends and is never outlined in blue.
• Functions target the body (or group) you are looking at: lock / no-collision / snapshot / scale / ownership resolve the crosshair first — a group member means the whole group, a body outside the group means just that body, and only when nothing is aimed at do they fall back to the current group (previously a non-empty queue always won).
• Mod icon: src/main/resources/icon.png plus logoFile in mods.toml, shown in NeoForge's mod list.
• New HUD: a slanted mode banner, the mode's entire function list, a selection box that slides smoothly, a description panel with a left triangle notch that wraps its text, and a wrapped switch hint. Changing mode slides the block out to the left and back in from the left; the description fades out to the right and reappears left-to-right; applying a function runs a continuous light streak around the selection box (Z/X keep it rotating until the action ends). Same palette as the in-game settings screen, and the text follows the game language.
• Aiming body info panel at the top right (show_body_info, on by default): owner / speed / mass / scale / collision / snapshot of the body under the crosshair, sliding in and out from the right. Speed and mass only exist server-side, so they come over a new request/response packet pair (immediately on target change, refreshed every 10 ticks).
• Live penetration depth next to the crosshair.
• Scaling now really rebuilds the rapier collider (ported from sable-scale): the voxel lattice is resampled so the native unscaled-pose transform lands the collision boxes exactly on the scaled hull; returning to ×1 removes the resampled sections and restores the stock upload. Mass follows (m' = k·m, inertia via the second-moment transform).
• Entity collision honours the scale — scaled bodies no longer push players around at their pre-scale size.
• Scale now rides Sable's own channels: SableBufferUtils (the single pose wire funnel) and SableNBTUtils (disk), so our custom sync payload and SavedData are gone.

Changed

• scaled_no_player_collision now defaults to false: the collider scales with the body, so scaled bodies are no longer ghosted against players (turn it on if you want them walk-through).
• The function list is no longer faded by distance (every entry has the same brightness).

Fixed

• Ctrl could not enter multi-select: the same KeyMapping had its rising edge polled twice in one tick, so the first call consumed it.
• No player collision after scaling: the existing config already contained scaled_no_player_collision=true, and NeoForge only rewrites missing or invalid entries — so changing the default had no effect on an existing config.
• Model vs. collision-outline size mismatch (two independent causes): (1) Sable's own block outline multiplies the scale in the wrong order (T(pos−cam)·R·T(plotCam−rotPoint)·S instead of …·R·S·T(plotCam−rotPoint), leaving a pure translation error R·(I−S)·(plotCam−rotPoint)) — corrected from inside its wrap with a priority-1000 @WrapOperation; (2) the single-block render path never reads scale at all (renderSingleBlock only translates and rotates) — patched with a new mixin. The outline renderer now uses per-axis scaling too.
• HUD: the mode banner's outline was discontinuous (the top edge stopped short of the slanted corner), the light streak was sparse and gappy, the wheel scrolled the list backwards, the selection box only jumped between whole rows, and the description appeared from the wrong side — all fixed.
• Clear queue / Shift+RMB could not cancel the selection: releaseAllClaims() returned early once the local claim flag had been reset (the server claim was not necessarily gone), and "clear queue" only emptied the main queue, leaving the temporary drag group behind. Clearing now notifies the server unconditionally and drops the temporary group too.

Known limitations

• Flywheel instanced blocks (Create shafts / cogs / belts) do not follow the scale.
• Picking / breaking-box targeting at scale ≠ 1 can be off (Sable's BlockGetter.clip uses the unscaled broadphase).
• Joint / motor anchors are not re-aimed when scaling (scale first, then assemble); the reference's TerrainClearance (re-seating a resized body) was not ported.
• The old sablestopnow_scale.dat is no longer read, so bodies scaled before this version come back at ×1 (just scale them again).
• The pose wire format was extended: the mod must be installed on both sides.
