Commands Added
Reading & Writing
- `/hexParse
[rename]`: parse input code into supported held item; optional `rename` argument to rename the item. /hexParse read: read handheld item's iota, parse into code and show in chat window; the result will be copied when clicked./hexParse read_signatures: same asread, but ignores all known pattern IDs and outputs all as angle signatures./hexParse clipboard [rename]: read client clipboard text and parse into supported held item; optionalrenameargument to rename the item./hexParse clipboard_angles [rename]: same asclipboard, but only accept patterns input with raw angle string like"wedsaq"./hexParse clipboard_hexpattern [rename]: (experimental) same asclipboard, but accepts.hexpatternformat; warning: only partial features supported./hexParse share: (experimental) same asreadbut broadcasts iota's raw content and click-copy-able parsed code to every player in the server./hexParse read_hexbug: same asreadbut translates the result to the format used by discord HexBug's/patterns hexcommand. note: non-pattern constants and some old registry names still need to be handled manually/hexParse mind_stack ...: read/write iota from player's mind (staff casting VM)... peek: read the last iota inside mind stack; getsnullif stack is empty- `... push
`: parse code and push into mind stack ... push_clipboard: same as above, but code comes from clipboard
/hexParse property ...: (Hexcellularinterop) get/set data for PropertyIota; used property names all force-added leading_for security reason- `... read `: read and parse from certain property
- `... write
`: write code into certain property - `... clipboard `: same as above, but code comes from clipboard
Configs
/hexParse (macro/dialect) ...: edit client-saved code dialects (1-on-1 mapping, not starting with#) and macros ( mapped to code segments, starting with#)... list: list all saved macros/dialects; there exist several predefined macros fromthe nature- `... define `: define a macro/dialect mapping; could be fresh-new or overriding existed one.
- `macro define_clipboard `: same as above, but only for macros, and reads player's clipboard
- `... remove `: remove mapping entry with given key (if exists)
/hexParse conflict: conflict resolver for multiple patterns with same short name (ID path)- only enables in physical client (singleplayer, local multiplayer) or with OP permission
...or... list: list all short names pointed by multiple long IDs... list <short_name>: list all conflicting IDs under certain short name... set <short_name> <long_ID>: redirect certain short name to input pattern ID
Misc. & Helpers
/hexParse donate [amount]: donate custom amount of media to the nature. Pay if you feel guilty using this mod ::)/hexParse learn_great: Read handheld items and learns great pattern(s) inside./hexParse lehmer [...nums]: calculate lehmer code for given permutation (from ascending, e.g.0 1 2 3 4); input should be separated with space; the result number can be used for Swindler's Gambit.
OP-Only Commands
- `/hexParse unlock_great (unlockAll|lockAll|unlock |lock )`: controls great pattern unlocking process of current world by locking/unlocking all at once, or a single great pattern each execution.
Patterns Added
switch_comment: Transforms input Comment Iota into String Iota, or everything else into Comment Iota; has no effect without MoreIotas.code2focus: Equivalent to/hexParse clipboard(now not only focuses).focus2code: Equivalent to/hexParse read.remove_comments: Clears comment iotas from a (nested) list input.learn_patterns: Read handheld items and learns great pattern(s) inside.create_linebreak: Adds a line-break comment iota with space-indents of given number to the stack.donate: Equivalent to/hexParse donate.- (great spell)
compile: takes in a MoreIotas string iota, and parses it into a code list; has no effect without MoreIotas.
Introduction also written in HexParse Patterns section inside the book.
Misc. Features
- At each pattern's page, press
Shiftto display the pattern's registry ID
New Iota: CommentIota
CommentIota displays string inside, and parses into a null iota (with id: "hexparse:comment") which executes doing nothing.
Comment iotas includes text comments, line-breaks & indents, and unknown great spell placeholders.
When player holds Shift key, all comments will be hidden.
