LM v4.0 To-do List

[lokka30]

This list is frequently edited. When a task is completed, it is deleted from the list. Tasks are regularly added; the list is not definitive at any point in time.

Q/A:

What is LM4 compared to LM3?

Vastly boiling down all of our efforts here: it's a more powerful, performant, extensible, and overall refined version of LM3. It's re-programmed from the ground up. The entire plugin and its sub-systems have undergone several reiterations. The code has been structured in (our hopes) a future-proof fashion, and we have a decent roadmap for future LM 4.x versions.

What tasks are available for public contribution?

Please let us know if you want to contribute! LM4 has been in development for long enough that there are only few relatively easy tasks for contributors to do, the rest will be completed solely by the maintainers (@lokka30 @stumper66 @UltimaOath). We will let you know of any tasks (other than testing) which you can do if you like. Just reach out!

Note: we need as many users as possible to test LM v4 before we release it to the public – this requires no special skills and only ~20 minutes (or more, at your option) of your time, you're just ensuring that LM4's features are working as intended and don't break even when configured correctly.

Is this list sorted in any particular order?

No, however, some tasks must be completed before others. For instance, the Finalisations section should only be worked on once the other parts of the To-do list (except testing) are complete.

Finalisations

Not ready yet

• Release 😄

Testing

Not ready yet, but it is recommended to test each feature after it has been implemented. Baby steps are the best way to make sure we don't have to test a pile of spaghetti and rather small strands at a time :)

• Spawn-Distance and Y-Axis Levelling and Basic Levelling Strategies
• Debug System
• Make sure ExitProcess, ExitFunction, and ExitAll are working.
  • Specifically, we need to make sure the exit status from the previous run of any function/process is not carried over.
• Make sure SetPermanentLabelAction and SetPacketLabelAction works on spigot servers
