I'm getting closer to making this mod more universal for all liquids.
Right now after a bit of coding i can say i have:
*Fixed Pipes
*Fixed Tanks
*Removed Mengenta as a color(no need for another simi red/pinkish color)
*Create a IColor interface for future use with other color selective
blocks
*Created a object feed version of get for PipeColor so you can use
numbers, Strings, or LiquidData to ID a color. Useful for
setColor(Object obj)
*Worked on some textures however i need to either make a better model
for tanks or find a texture artist for help
*Found the tank model files so they can be edited
Issues still to be worked on
*Lang file, still item names are not working
*Release Valve
*Pipe Changer tool, not sure if i should use a GUI with the tool or have
15 color brushs. The ladder seems wasteful
*Block, and bucket for Waste Liquid
*Textures need some help, especial Tanks so i can add the rest of the
colored version to the creative menu
*Crafting for all Pipes, Tanks, and items need redone or added for the
new system
*Pumps needs reworked to have a diffrent version for lava,water, and
large area pumping. Small version for filling system, large for draining
source pools for constuction. Lava pump will fall under large. Might add
an oil pump, or create one for oil craft using the same design.
*Tanks still need to be tested and fixed to create pressure for Pipes if
side == down and liquid || side == up and gas
*LiquidHandler needs worked on to pre catch and add liquids to the
allowed List similar to how e methain, oil, fuel are register.
*added Name to the color Enum
*added a new liquid call Waste liquid
*added effect for mixing liquids in pipes
*stored+filling=outcome
*lava+water = obby
*water+lava=cobble
*other+other=waste liquid
*Improve pipe render and create 14 new pipe textures
*Improved Tank render and creates some new textures
*Fixed lang file for all Blocks, items still don't work
*Fixed save issue using Compent Tags to save liquids
*Fixed Universal Pipe working with pumps
*Removed: Some crafting recipes plus fixed others
*Removed: Item version of pipe,tank, though a similar version is used
just for naming as a BlockItem
*Bug: Tanks don't work at all
Still working on moving everything over to my new system. So far i've
got it mostly done for the tank and pipe though i have no way to test
them yet.
I would list the change but meh its break time, i'm tired and the code
says everything
Things that are still broken
*Lang file
*release Valve
*pipe
*Tank
*Some crafting
Starting down the long road of making my mod even more compatable with
other mod's liquids. This will take some time, patience, and pain
killers.
Plan of action
*Release Valve will not store any liquids but rather direction output to
pipes from other TileEntities
*Release Valve will have a gui to restrict it to outputing one or more
types of Liquids that are predefined
*Pipes will go from being fully liquid restricted to color based(0-15)
and have a universal uncolor pipe that can accept all liquids
*Once a pipe is place a tool can be used to change its color just like
in other mods.
*Some colors will be restricted to select liquids for example Blue is
water, Red is Lava, Black is oil, Yellow Fuel, White Milk,
*Steam will have its own pipe made out of bronze to fit the machines it
goes too.
*Tanks will go in the same direction
*Pumps will still be liquid restricted but come with unique textures,
models, and animation per liquid type
Current issues to resolve that are broken with push
*Release valve doesn't work at all due to changes in progress
*back compatable must be added for pipes and old release valves
