Update to Mindustry v7

[Nester23]

There are new sensors, blocks, units and even a few new instructions in the game that aren't supported.

[Antyos]

Do you know of where I can find a complete list of the new blocks, units, commands, etc.? I can't seem to find a comprehensive changelog of v7.

Early on, I made the design decision of only supporting syntax highlighting for built-in blocks/units which I have since regretted. I plan on changing this so that all @names will be highlighted, enabling support for future versions as well as mods.

I know that there's an official changelog in , but I'm not sure if there is a full list of changes for logic sensors/types and all that anywhere.
I can try to make it myself, so download an older version of Mindustry and compare it with the current one, but I'm not sure about blocks, since there would be more of them in the future.

I can try to make it myself, so download an older version of Mindustry and compare it with the current one.

So here's the list of features I found missing:

Sensor changes

• Added new sensors:

@progress
@timescale
@size
@dead
@range
@boosting
@controller

• @commanded is deprecated:
  

---

Operation changes

• Replaced atan2 with angle and dst with len:
  
• Added operations asin, acos, atan:
  
• Added strictEqual to both operations and jumps:
  

New instructions

Wait:

Lookup:

New constants

• @tick
• Lookup constants:

@unitCount
@itemCount
@liquidCount
@blockCount

• Controlled sensor constants:

@ctrlProcessor
@ctrlPlayer
@ctrlFormation

Jump labels

• Now jumps can point to labels:

sensor copper container1 @copper

jump isEnabled_true equal isEnabled true
op greaterThanEq isEnabled copper 100 #Copper >= 100
jump exit_elseIf always 0 0

isEnabled_true:
op greaterThanEq isEnabled copper 50 #Copper >= 50

exit_elseIf:
control enabled unloader1 isEnabled 0 0 0

So, this is about all I can remember and find right now, maybe there's some constant missing? idk, but I hope this helps.

This is a great help, thank you!

I have made a number of changes to the grammar for Mindustry v7, as you outline above:

Changes

Added

• Operators: strictEqual, asin, acos, and atan
• Commands: wait and lookup
• At-names: @tick, @blockCount, @unitCount, @itemCount, @liquidCount, @ctrlProcessor, @ctrlPlayer, @ctrlFormation
• Other at-names will still be highlighted
• Jump labels syntax

Replaced

• atan2 and dst with angle and len, respectively

Deprecated

• At-names: @commanded
• Operators: atan2, dst (not technically deprecated in-game)

Going forward

I have a few questions/concerns about releasing the update--

Mindustry v7 is still in Beta as of now. If I publish these changes to the extension now, I am unsure how it will affect users still playing v6. This is especially true for the deprecated variable @commanded.

Officially, it seems like atan2 and dst are still supported in the source code, however I am unsure if they will remain that way. As it seems like Anuken wants people to use angle and len, I decided to classify the other two as deprecated.

One possibility is making a language pack for each version of the game, but I'm not sure that I like that idea.

Do you know which (if any) of these changes have been implemented in the current stable release of Mindustry? (I haven't been playing it lately)

Which (if any) of these changes have been implemented in the current stable release of Mindustry?

Most of them are implemented to the stable version of Mindustry including deprecation of @commanded and replacement of atan2 and dst.

The additions Mindustry v7 brings are wait and lookup plus asin, acos, and atan, operations, but supporting them shouldn't interfere with anything,

Perfect! I'll try and get a new release out later today!

omg this is most useful post. I used my own c# programm to make labels-like jumps...
