Breaking API present in v159, applied hotfix + Added Mp4 converter to image

[voncention1]

Applied hotfix for Mindustry v159 and onward.
Deleted previous PR due to rushed fix. Proper branch now.

Some API present in v159 (specifically LoadingFragment) were changed, hence some exceptions were thrown when connecting to multiplayer servers.

Moved bytecode generation to Java 17 since newer Mindustry expect JRE 17 anyway.

Seriously, I really thought the author was not going to continue updating.

The last submission was even in February.

Personally, this mod is one of my favorite.
Seeing it break and hasn't seen it updated is what motivated me to fork this.
I will, however, continue maintaining a fork of this repository if the author prefers to discontinue the project.

I understand how you feel. Maybe you can go to Discord to find him?

Oh, no, he doesn't seem to allow others to add him casually.

That's unfortunate, and it is understandable.

yup

Just came back from experimental.

I have found some... VRAM usage inefficiency when loading L2D. Fine for 40-90 image frames. Problematic for hundreds.

Hence, introduced buffer system to accommodate the new MP4Decoder (Video to Image Frames).

Future plan involve accepting mp4 directly without image frame conversions.

Since it's still in experimental phase, the game is expected to freeze a bit longer during decoding due to maximizing thread usage (which will cause a bit more battery drainage).

However, the system itself is pretty stable and have produced expected results.
