0.3.7 General Improvements - Mandatory Update

This update offers general improvements for features such as reconnection to the Bingo Brewers server, switching to rely on DNS instead of a static IP address and dropping the requirement for installing the Mod API as a separate JAR, it is now installed via a tweaker (automatically on launch). All previous versions will stop working with this update as a result of port changes detailed below.

Changes

Switch to DNS - Mandatory Update

• Switch from statically using the IP 38.46.216.110 to using bingobrewers.com (relying on DNS to get the IP address). This means I can change the IP address without requiring a mod update in the future, which will be happening soon.
• Switch to use port 8282 for TCP on the server instead of 8080 as it may have been causing issues.

Add Hypixel Mod API Tweaker

• The tweaker runs when you launch your game and will load the Mod API without requiring a separate JAR. If you have a separate Hypixel Mod API jar in your mods folder, you can remove it.
• In order to implement this tweaker I had to add a ModLoadingTweaker from NEU to ensure the Bingo Brewers mod properly loads, you can find a copy of the LGPL license on GitHub.

Reconnect Improvements

• Improve the reconnect process by reducing scaling in wait time to 1.5x and adding a static 2000 millisecond wait plus a random number between 0 and 3000 to set the intial value instead of a random number between 0 and 5000.
• Reduce the maximum wait time from 60000 milliseconds to 45000, additionally ensure the wait time doesn't exceed the max at all (It would previously go over then correct back to under in an endless cycle).
• Generally improve reconnect logging so it better reflects what is actually happening.

0.4 Update

0.4 has turned into a full rewrite of most features, as a result they will be significantly improved but it will take longer to deliver the update.
