Hello there. I just installed the latest version of Forge (v10.12.0.1019), and i was surprised to see alot of vanilla method names still have "func_****" names. I know Searge released MCP v9.03 RC1 which fixed alot of the "func_****" names. Am i installing something wrong, or has Forge just not updated to the latest version of MCP?

 

Thanks for reading!

1.7.2 is barely deobfuscated.  Most of the names aren't known yet.

My technique of diffing the old and new sources works reasonably well. Although names have changed, a lot still seems to be same.

Searge and the people working on MCP has created a nifty little bot that does such a thing as deobfuscate the methods. The bot hangs out on #minecraftforge and #mcp-modding on espernet. How to use MCPBot: http://mcpold.ocean-labs.de/index.php/MCPBot

Be sure that if you're submitting renames to include Javadoc.

 

Also helpful if you know how to properly format javadoc, too.

 

Example:

/**
* Returns an Image object that can then be painted on the screen. 
* The url argument must specify an absolute {@link URL}. The name
* argument is a specifier that is relative to the url argument. 
* <p>
* This method always returns immediately, whether or not the 
* image exists. When this applet attempts to draw the image on
* the screen, the data will be loaded. The graphics primitives 
* that draw the image will incrementally paint on the screen. 
*
* @param  url  an absolute URL giving the base location of the image
* @param  name the location of the image, relative to the url argument
* @return      the image at the specified URL
* @see         {@link Image}
*/
public Image getImage(URL url, String name) {
        try {
            return getImage(new URL(url, name));
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
            return null;
        }
}

Basically, include a short description (most HTML valid as markup, though you shouldn't need it) and a list of the parameters.  The {link} ability is really really nifty, though not necessary.

I've done some advanced Javadoc'ing with my API over here if you want some more examples.
