[Mod] Pipeworks [git] [pipeworks]

[Nore]

Strange bug, because I use the new mesecons API. What version do you use? (I just checked, the same code is used in mesecons for receptor on/off.)

[proller]

Pipeworks - current version grom git,
minetest - current version grom git,
mesecons - 3-5 days old from git

[Adarqet]

seems legit

[Temperest]

Node breakers/deployers don't appear to be available without Technic, even though they have non-technic recipes. Is this intentional? I'd love to be able to use them without installing the rest of the modpack.

Maybe an option that enables them?

Edit: loading times are a bit slow because inventorycube images need to be generated for all the pipe/tube configurations, even though very few are actually available in the inventory. If we avoid inventorycuve creation, mod loading is sped up significantly, similar to the gains achieved with doing the same thing to mesecons wires.

Change the folder name to only: pipeworks

Works also for other mods

[SkpFreak]

thank you that did fix it

How to craft autocrafter?

[VanessaE]

I don't think autocrafter has a recipe yet.

[Traxie21]

Could you maybe make the pipes a bit thicker? athey seem a bit illogically small to me.

Also, lower-res textures please?

[Jordach]

Make autocrafters that craft autocrafters which crafts autocrafters.

[VanessaE]

The size of the pipes is right where I wanted it to be actually. Textures have to be 64px because anything lower looks like ass due to the way they apply over the nodeboxes.

[VanessaE]

Temperest just contributed the following Autocrafter recipe to pipeworks git, which I've merged:

steel mese steel
plastic steel plastic
steel mese steel

Mese refers to default:mese, e.g. the usual yellow mese blocks.

This mod will keep me busy for a while, automation for the win!

this mod cant load and run why?

Don't have the right mods?

Edit:Or you didn't name the file "pipeworks" without ""

do we need a new file?

[Likwid H-Craft]

No, you just rename the "VanessaE-pipeworks-d4c2b16" to "pipeworks" if you have, the right mods for it. but I think VanessaE should update this to least build.

[VanessaE]

Pipeworks is fine with current Minetest git. I keep my local build up-to-date. That said, the mod does need rewritten to take advantage of the new "6d facedir" code, but I'm not about to do that right now - it would be a major rewrite.

[Kacey]

Hey guys check out https://github.com/Kaceyproductions/pipeworks to help develop mesecon tubes that will conduct electricity

[Nore]

You should perhaps use the rules of mese instead of those of standart mesecons, because it won't conduct vertically right now. Anyway, this is good! I wanted to do it before, but I was lasy:)

[Likwid H-Craft]

VanessaE what, the pipes called in the code so, I can size them to normal since, I am making a City/World that be huge.

[VanessaE]

It's been a while since I looked at my own code, but I believe pipes are named pipe_xxyyzz_empty and pipe_xxyyzz_loaded, where empty and loaded refer to whether the pipe appears to have a liquid in it (no or yes, respectively).

The xxyyzz part is a 6-bit field for the directions the pipe exits the node. I believe I put them in -X, +X, -Y, +Y, -Z, +Z order. For each '1' in that field, there is a half-node-wide pipe segment leading from the center of the node to the associated face (so 101101 would be pipe segments leading to the -X, -Y, +Y, and +Z faces).

Tubes are named and defined similarly.

Pipes and tubes are built up algorithmically from six fixed, half-length nodebox models, one per face. With 6 bits, excluding the empty '000000' definition (which is aliased to the full-length, horizontal "this is what you have in your inventory" pipe), there are 63 each of loaded and empty pipes, and 63 tubes also.

So how I make them block wide but with the pipe look?

[jojoa1997]

set the nodebox values to 1
