BlocksConfig.setShapeRegistry() doesn't update the chunk mesh generator. [version 1.5.1]

[Igrium]

At least, this is what I think is happening.

I'm adding a custom shape registry in simpleInitApp() after I initialize the blocks config:

BlocksConfig.initialize(assetManager);
BlocksConfig.getInstance().setChunkSize(new Vec3i(Chunk.WIDTH, Chunk.HEIGHT, Chunk.LENGTH));
		
meshRegistry = new MeshRegistry();
BlocksConfig.getInstance().setShapeRegistry(meshRegistry);

All that MeshRegistry does is override the get() method to patch into my custom system, which is tested to work:

@Override
public Shape get(String name) {
	System.out.println("Pulling from custom shape registry");
	try {
		return loadMesh(name);
	} catch (IOException e) {
		System.out.println("Cannot load mesh file "+name+". Falling back to JME Blocks shape registry.");
		return super.get(name);
	}
}

Yet, when I try to compile the chunk mesh, I get a NullPointerException tracing back to com.rvandoosselaer.blocks.FacesMeshGenerator.createNode(FacesMeshGenerator.java:59), which looking into the source code reveals to be:

// add the block mesh to the chunk mesh
Shape shape = shapeRegistry.get(block.getShape());
shape.add(blockLocation, chunk, mesh); <

What's interesting is that it's obviously calling shapeRegistry.get() and getting back null, but my test print statement, System.out.println("Pulling from custom shape registry");, is not firing. This leads me to conclude that the shapeRegistry variable inside FacesMeshGenerator is not getting updated when I call BlocksConfig.setShapeRegistry(), and the program is attempting to use a key belonging to my custom system on the default system, which would obviously return null.

The full source code the project in which the issue was found is at http://scaffoldeditor.org under the editor_rendering branch. Here's the full traceback. I'm running the whole JME program inside a Swing window, so it's rather long:

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Hi,

thanks for this bug report. Indeed the TypeRegistry and ShapeRegistry are not updated on the FacesMeshGenerator when setting those in the BlocksConfig.

I'll create a patch and release a new version.

This is fixed in Blocks v1.6.1
