Zacharias 95222c1c95 # 6.2 release
## Notes
- This release addes the ablility to provide your own or a speedometer made by someone else and not the 2 option I(The developer) provides as hard coded features

## Added:
- Resorcepack source for visual speedometer
- Added documentation for resourcepack setup [resourcepack.md](https://github.com/zaze06/Speedometer/blob/master/resourcepack.md)
- Override config for speedometer pointer (only works if it's not an image)

## Fixes:
- Fixed [#2](https://github.com/zaze06/Speedometer/issues/2)

## TO-DO:

## Resourcepack
This release contains a base resourcepack that shuld be like the old one, but there is also an optinaly downloadible resourcepack from GitHub, and as a additinal file in this release on Github and Modrith

## Code notes
This push updates the development envirment to 1.21.1, but fabric is tested and works on 1.21 still

# Speedometer resourcepack setup
This guide explains how to set up a speedometer resource pack for Minecraft, including file structure and configuration options.
## Supported versions
This feature is supported in
- Speedometer 6.2 and forwards
- Minecraft 1.21.x and forward
## `pack.mcmeta`
The mcmeta file has no differences just make sure it's a valid pack_format for the version
- 1.21.x: `"pack_format": 34`
## File Locations
So the speedometer is built upon 2 main things
- speedometer.json
- speedometer.png *this is a placeholder name*
There is also the optional of
- pointer.png *this is a placeholder name*
resource pack tree
```
base
├── assets
│ └── speedometer # Referred to as a "module" in this documentation
│ ├── models
│ │ └── speedometer.json
│ ├── textures
│ │ ├── speedometer.png
│ │ └── pointer.png
├── pack.mcmeta
└── pack.png
```
## `speedometer.json` example *Standard speedometer.json file*
```
{
"background": "speedometer:meter/speedometer.png",
"start": -45,
"end": 225,
"maxSpeed": 120,
"overflow": true,
"pointer": {
"color": "#b00219",
"length": 50,
"start": "center"
},
"scale": 1,
"name": "Full cycle style"
}
```
### Explanation of values
- background
The file speedometer.png is located in the meter subdirectory of the textures folder, inside the speedometer module of your resource pack.<br>
This can also have the value `minecraft:meter/speedometer.png` and it would instead point to the same location inside the `minecraft` module.
- start
The angle in degrees where the pointer is pointing at when the speed is 0. *This value has the 0 value of ether the `pointer/image` or to the right of `pointer/start`*
- end
The angle in degrees where the pointer is pointing when `maxSpeed` is reached. *Same base value as `start`*
- maxSpeed
This value defines the maximum speed the speedometer will display. You can interpret this as blocks per second (b/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), or miles per hour (mph), depending on how you're measuring the in-game speed.
- overflow
This boolean is false if the pointer locks at the `end` angle when the speed exceeds `maxSpeed`.
- pointer
This defines properties of the pointer.
- color *not required, but if not present then `ìmage` most be*
The color value should be a hexadecimal RGB code, e.g., #b00219, where # is followed by six characters representing red, green, and blue values (00-FF for each component).
- length *not required if `image` is not defined*
The length in picture based on the original size of the background.
- start
The start parameter defines where the pointer begins. You can use predefined strings (center, left, right) or specify a custom position using the format (x, y), where x and y are the coordinates. Alternatively, you can define an object with x and y keys to set exact positions.<br>
If you use this with an image, it's the point of where the pointer image is rotates around
- image
This defines the scaling factor for speed. The actual speed is calculated as baseSpeed^scale, where the base speed is raised to the power of the scale. <br>
OPS this picture should be the same size as the background to not cause issues
- scale
The scale of how to modify the speed as a power, this is the speed that `maxSpeed` is based of. the way the speed passed to `maxSpeed` is calculated is `baseSpeed^scale`.
- name
A string that is the name of this speedometer. *This is just used to send a log message about the speedometer*
