Demo of the new Simple MML Editor Dialog

Grab some Music Paper from Creative mode or craft it from four pieces of paper and one ink sack. See more recipes farther down in the post.

Hold the Music Paper in your main hand and right click air to open the dialog. If you hold an entire stack you will create a stack of the same piece of music. Enter a title in the upper text box and paste or type well formed MML into the center text box. The Done button will not activate if the MML entered does not contain a proper header "MML@" and and ending semi-colon ";". The MML is parsed in real time and it cannot be saved it there are errors. Errors will be displayed in red. Click on an error and the cursor in the editor will move to the error. If the MML parses without error the Play button on the left can be used to play the MML. A choice of instruments is listed on the left.

Click Done and the item changes into a piece of Sheet Music.

Play Solo

To play the enclosed MML, the Sheet Music must be placed into the inventory of an instrument. Hold an instrument, then SNEAK and Right Click. Place the Sheet Music into the slot and close the inventory.

To play the instrument, hold it in your main hand and simply Right Click to Activate. While playing you will be unable to move. If you want to stop playing you can press the ESC key. While holding an instrument the HUD will display the title and status in the upper left hand corner of the screen. This is currently hardcoded, but I intend to make if possible to configure the HUD layout.

Piano Interactions. The piano does not have a inventory GUI like the handheld instrument. Once it's placed into the world it works like this

1. To place Sheet Music on the Piano Rack, hold a piece of Sheet Music in your main hand and right click the the piano.
2. To sit at the piano, right click it with your main hand. Note you can't sit at a piano unless there is a piece of Sheet Music on the rack. To dismount press the left shift key. To REMOVE a piece of Sheet Music SNEAK and right click the piano.
3. To play the piano there must be Sheet Music on the rack and your must be sitting at the piano, then right click the piano to begin playing.

This is going to be a bit buggy since I just added this new block instrument recently. It made me realize I need to review the current system and refactor it to make it cleaner. There are blatant holes in various interactions. See if you can find them.

Press "J" to create or open an existing party. If it's a new party you are the leader and your name will be at the top of the list once you click OK.

Join a Party

Parties are not secure at this time so anyone can join. Security will be added later. To join a party look for a player with music note placard over their head and Right Click on them. You will be presented with a dialog that gives you the options to join the leaders party

To Join the party Right-Click the leader.

Click Yes to join the party.

Welcome to the Group!

Group Members. Note the Party HUD upper left. The leaders placard has a star.

Leaders Party Dialog (J to open). Note the small buttons to the right of the 2nd member. The leader can (D)elete, or promote the member to (L)eader.

Members Party Dialog (J to open)

These are placeholders

Latest development release - Mute Options added

Intended for multiplayer mode of course. At the moment players must be online for you to move them to the desired list.

Here's a run down of the Mute options (Changes with each click of the button):

• Mute Off - You can hear everything.
• Mute Others - Just hear yourself. Others can still hear you though. You can't JOIN a JAM.
• Mute Blacklist - Hear everyone except members on the Blacklist. You can still hear them if they are a member of a JAM, but not if they are the leader of the JAM.
• Allow Whitelist - Only hear yourself and music from players on the Whitelist. If a member is the leader of the JAM then you will hear ALL the members of the JAM.
• Mute All - effectively disables all MML Music.

None of the options will STOP currently playing music, but they will prevent you from hearing newly launched tunes.

Other controls:

• Adjust HUD - Choose the position of the on screen mxTune status widget.
• Arrow Buttons ">", "<" - Situated between the lists, these are used to move players between the lists. Click on a player to select them, then click the appropriate arrow button.
• Done - Make sure to click this to save your changes.
• Cancel - Abort changes and return to the game.

Note: The mxTune volume is controlled by Players volume control from the vanilla Music & Sound Option dialog.

      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,

      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly

      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be

      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,

      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the

      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,

      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all

      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor

      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.



   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,

      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this

      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only

      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf

      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,

      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability

      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason

      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
