HyperScript 1.7.49

Text in front of a player's face, CSV files, two more kinds of storage, and the addons in four languages.

Added

• Text in front of a player. Text that floats before one player's eyes, follows where they look, and is seen by nobody else. It goes when they leave.

  show text "&6Welcome!%nl%&7Open the chest in front of you" in front of player until player is sneaking
  show text "&aSaved." in front of player for 3 seconds
  show text ["&6Shop", "&7Right-click to buy"] in front of player while player is in region "shop"
  hide text in front of player

• for <duration> gives it a time. until <condition> takes it away once the condition is true, while <condition> once it no longer is; the condition is looked at four times a second. Without any of these it stays until hide text in front of <who>.
• at distance <n> says how many blocks in front of the eyes, from 0.5 to 16 (2.2 if it is not said).
• Several lines: %nl% in the text, or a list with a line for each element.
• On Minecraft 1.19.4 and newer it is a text display; before that, name tags. Showing it to one player only needs 1.18: on 1.16 and 1.17 everybody nearby sees it.
• A new line in any text: %nl%, also written %new line% or %newline%. send "&6Rules%nl%&71. Be kind".
• CSV files.

  set {_rows} to csv of file at "plugins/HyperScript/prices.csv" with headers
  for each {_row} in {_rows}:
      send "&e%{_row.item}% &7costs &f%{_row.price}%"

• csv of file at <path> gives the rows as a list, each row a list of its cells, so a cell is item 2 of item 1 of {_rows}. with headers takes the first row as the names of the columns and gives each later row as a table: {_row.price}.
• column <number or name> of <rows> is one column, top to bottom.
• csv of <rows> writes rows out as CSV text, for set file at ... to.
• parse <text> as csv reads text that is not in a file.
• Numbers are numbers, an empty cell is not set, quotes are handled the way spreadsheets write them, and files with semicolons or tabs between the cells are read too.
• Two more kinds of storage, so there are four that need no setting up, and MySQL:
• storage.type: csv keeps the variables in data.csv, a row for each, which a spreadsheet opens. Change it by hand only while the server is stopped.
• storage.type: h2 keeps them in a local H2 database, data-h2.mv.db. The server downloads H2 by itself the first time, on Minecraft 1.17 and newer.
• json and sqlite are as they were; sqlite also sets itself up.

json stays the default. While the server runs every variable is in memory, so no kind of storage makes a script faster or slower, and data.json is written in every mode as the copy HyperScript falls back on. Choose by what you want to open the data with.

• Addons in other languages. Every addon now brings the words for its own syntax in French, Spanish, Portuguese and German, and takes the language from language: in this plugin's config.yml. It needs the addon releases of today; each addon's page lists its words.
• 33 more words in each language for HyperScript itself: create, make, say, show, hide, exists, replace, fill, copy, move, save, line, page, group, region, server, owner and others.

Changed

• Backups are kept in plugins/HyperScript/Backups. A folder written backups by an older version is renamed, with the backups in it.
• MySQL:
• A value can be up to 16 MB; it was 64 KB, which a long list could exceed. A table made by an older version is widened by itself.
• Text is kept as utf8mb4, so every character fits.
• MySQL 8 servers that refused the login with "Public Key Retrieval is not allowed" are logged into.
• The rows of a save are sent together, which is quicker on a database far away.
• With French, Spanish, Portuguese and German, existe / existiert now mean exists (si file at "x" existe:); they used to be another way of saying is set. German Server and Tag are the English words they are.
• With another language set, what follows permission: is left exactly as written. A permission such as serveur.admin used to have its words put into English.
