[1.15.2] Creating a "Second Camera"

Hello!

 

I am curious on how I would go about creating a "second camera" for use with perspectives. In the past I have heard methods of creating a client side entity and then using setRenderViewEntity() to switch perspectives. However, I want to take this a bit further and Create a second popup window (that can be dragged onto a secondary display) giving me two perspectives independent from each other. The concept would work similar to splitscreen or even those popular free cam mods.

My basic thought process for this is as follows:

Create client side "camera" entity, would act as if I were running the game with another account (in regards to a camera view)

create a second game window with the secondary view - when window is in focus you would be able to move camera around, but cannot interact with GUI's etc.

 

So how would I go about doing this? Would I need to create a frame buffer/render to texture and do some of that weird openGL related stuff?

      [1.15.2] Rendering fixed lines between tile entities

      By profjb58 · Posted

      I also have all the positions I need for the next and previous tiles (markers) within the NBT storage of each marker so i'm wondering if using the TER approach would be better since I don't need the position of the player.

      Prevent FULL AUTO item use

      I just have this left to do to fix Client-Side Only issues i think. I've directly created the KeyBinding object inside the register method in the client event, also removing the static init I had, but now I cannot access the key from outside to check for example, if that key is being pressed.     Is there a way to check that key status? or a better way to register the key without violating the Client-Side Only code thing, and being able to access it by other methods?

      [1.15.2] Rendering fixed lines between tile entities

      So i've managed to get it working (partially). I've attached an image of it. Essentially it kinda works. It renders properly but say if another render event happens during when I place the markers down, this line gets broken. It also produces a random pattern when logging back in and out. This is acctually kinda cool and i'm guessing is because the render world last event is essentially pretty much random.   static void drawTileToTile(TileEntity tileStart, TileEntity tileEnd, ClientPlayerEntity player, MatrixStack matrixStack){ IRenderTypeBuffer.Impl buffer = Minecraft.getInstance().getRenderTypeBuffers().getBufferSource(); IVertexBuilder lineBuilder = buffer.getBuffer(CustomRenderTypes.THICK_LINES); BlockPos tileStartPos = tileStart.getPos(); BlockPos tileEndPos = tileEnd.getPos(); float[] lineColour = getLineColour(tileStart.getBlockState().getBlock()); drawLine(lineBuilder, generateProjectedMatrix(matrixStack),tileStartPos.getX() + 0.5f,tileStartPos.getY() + 0.6f,tileStartPos.getZ() + 0.5f, tileEndPos.getX() + 0.5f, tileEndPos.getY() + 0.5f, tileEndPos.getZ() + 0.5f, lineColour); matrixStack.pop(); buffer.finish(CustomRenderTypes.THICK_LINES); } Modified code for drawing between tiles.

      Forge refuses to open?

      By The_QueenRaven · Posted

      So basically, I'm trying to install Forge. Well, I used google chrome first, and it did download, however when I tried to open it (There was the little box at the bottom of the screen that shows my installs/downloads, and I clicked on it to open it), It basically just downloaded again. Everytime I try to open it, it downloads a duplicate. I then tried Internet Explorer, and it just brought me back to google chrome and did that again. I then went to my files and tried to  open it from there, but it brought me back, yet again, to Google chrome and downloaded a copy. What's happening?
