MlogWatcher

The Mindustry Mod for developing Mindustry Logic.

Principle

This mod watches for changes to a specific .mlog file (the custom file extension which contains mlog).
When a new compilation is made, the file being watched changes, and the mode detects this and injects the file contents into the selected logic processor.

Config

Because of the principle described above, you must first select the path to the file to be watched before using it.

How to use it

just select the processor. that's all!
The processor injector compresses and injects code remotely into the selected processor, so you don't need to enter the canvas or anything like that.

if you click the block which isn't the processor, the processor will be unselected.

MlogJSWatchTemplate

If you are using mlogjs, I recommend using mlogJSTemplate as the development environment.
This template repository is also ready for watch mode: if you edit and save script.ts, it will automatically compile.
so if you use it with this mod, you have a complete continuous development flow!

mlogwatcher's Issues

Allow updates via http requests

This is a feature request that would allow triggering the mlog watcher in a way does not require writing to the filesystem, which makes integrating it with other tools such as web-based editors (like the ones provided by mindcode, go-mlog and mlogjs) much more convenient.

The idea is making the mod setup a basic http server that can receive requests that tell it to update the mlog code on the currently selected processor (just like a write to the filesystem would).
