NOT AN ISSUE, A question

[oxmc]

I've been trying to rebuild WebDisplays for Minecraft 1.12.2, but it depends on the dan200.computercraft.api symbol. Unfortunately, the old Maven repository for those builds (cc.crzd.me) is offline and now redirects elsewhere. I checked your Maven, but I couldn't find any 1.12.x files.

I'm still fairly new to Java development, so I was wondering—would it be possible to just place the project JAR in the libs folder like some other mods do? Or would it be better to use the old ComputerCraft source code instead?

Oh, do you have a link to the repository you're using? I couldn't see anything in the old 1.12 repo, but wasn't sure if there was a more active fork for 1.12.

The "proper" way is probably do depend on CC:T's maven instead. I think adding the following to your build.gradle should work — I'm afraid it has been some years since I've touched 1.12!

dependencies {
  maven { url 'https://maven.squiddev.cc/' }
}

dependencies {
  deobfCompile "org.squiddev:cc-tweaked-1.12.2:1.89.2"
}

Placing the jar in the libs folder may work. I think some versions of the ForgeGradle plugin automatically added it as a dependency. If that doesn't work, add the following to your build.gradle file:

dependencies {
  deobfCompile fileTree(dir: "libs", includes: ['*.jar', '*.zip'])
}

This is the current build.gradle, i'm unsure if i added the lines correctly:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven" }
        maven { url 'https://maven.squiddev.cc/' }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:2.3-SNAPSHOT'
        deobfCompile "org.squiddev:cc-tweaked-1.12.2:1.89.2"
    }
}
apply plugin: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle.forge'
//Only edit below this line, the above code adds and enables the necessary things for Forge to be setup.


version = "1.12.2-1.1"
group = "net.montoyo.wd" // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html
archivesBaseName = "webdisplays"

sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = '1.8' // Need this here so eclipse task generates correctly.
compileJava {
    sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = '1.8'
}

minecraft {
    version = "1.12.2-14.23.5.2768"
    runDir = "run"
    
    // the mappings can be changed at any time, and must be in the following format.
    // snapshot_YYYYMMDD   snapshot are built nightly.
    // stable_#            stables are built at the discretion of the MCP team.
    // Use non-default mappings at your own risk. they may not always work.
    // simply re-run your setup task after changing the mappings to update your workspace.
    mappings = "snapshot_20171003"
    // makeObfSourceJar = false // an Srg named sources jar is made by default. uncomment this to disable.
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        name = "forge"
        url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven"
    }
    maven { url 'https://maven.squiddev.cc/' }
}

dependencies {
}

jar {
    exclude 'org/**'
    exclude 'net/montoyo/mcef/**'
    exclude 'assets/mcef/**'
}

processResources {
    // this will ensure that this task is redone when the versions change.
    inputs.property "version", project.version
    inputs.property "mcversion", project.minecraft.version

    // replace stuff in mcmod.info, nothing else
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        include 'mcmod.info'
                
        // replace version and mcversion
        expand 'version':project.version, 'mcversion':project.minecraft.version
    }
        
    // copy everything else except the mcmod.info
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        exclude 'mcmod.info'
    }
}

I have figured out where it needs to be placed and it does work, thank you so much!
