Any plan for fabric support? #24

Closed CRD716 closed 3 years ago

CRD716 commented 3 years ago

I would like to use this with a fabric mod, and was wondering if this would ever be in fabric? I understand it's harder to make a fabric mod, but being lightweight is nice.

@CRD716 - I don't currently have plans to add a Fabric version. I barely have time to keep the Forge version updated, (e.g. Ghostwriter 1.16.1 was released ~6 months after Forge 1.16.1).

I'd be happy to answer any questions about the Forge version if you're thinking about porting it yourself.

I think the only major changes you'd have to make are in Ghostwriter.java where it swaps the vanilla book GUIs for their Ghostwriter equivalents. I'm using Forge events that won't be available in Fabric.

I have released an alternative for Ghostwriter on Fabric, this is not a port but it has been inspired by it in the big lines. As you do not have any plan to create a Fabric port, here is a link to it that might help you redirect people who asks you: Stendhal on Modrinth

Your mod has been a great source of inspiration, thank you.

@nebspacefarer - Thank you for your kind words and for making me aware of your project. Stendhal looks pretty cool. I like the sign and chat integrations.

Have you thought about making it open source?

I've added a note to the Ghostwriter readme that should direct Fabric users your way.

@waffle-stomper Thank you!

Of course I have, the FAQ is mentioning why it is not open source yet:

A: As of now, nowhere. This project has been a precious opportunity to make myself comfortable again with Java and a good learning process for modding, as much as I would love some help and see how people could contribute in amazing ways, I still want to practice and learn more for future mods. I don't exclude opening the source code later down the line!

I will also add a mention of Ghostwriter to redirect Forge users to your project as well.
