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
Still working on converting to a more universal liquid system.
*Added a enum to tack colors without having to use strings or #s
*Fixed LiquidData to not need to feed a LiquidData to get vars of itself
*Started Converting Pipes to new system. They will use metadata now to
select colors, this will remove any need to use packets.
*Created a Update Converter so that older version pipe/tank/etc will be
converted to the new system automaticly
Issues with push
*Just about everything is broken at the moment just backing code up
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
Can't find the pump model but that doesn't mater its getting redone.
LargePipe is the current pipe model
Pipe is the old crappy one
EValve was a rough idea for a model for the release valve
Generator is the current, old one is missing
What i have is not much diffrent but its a start to allowing more liquid
types without having to add them myself. The current method has 3
defualt liquids that are preset. The new system also uses String names
to ID liquid instead of Enums. A new class Called LiquidData will keep
track of the data need to ID, and use the Liquids.
In the process i also fixed a few crafting recipes that were
removed/messed up in a patch a while back.
Plan for new system
*Have default liquid type that come with textures/renders
*Have several univeral pipes that can accept all Liquid types
*Have a way of placeing a universal pipe and then converting to a
regulated pipe, pipe that only take one liquid type
*Have a tool for doing the above
*Change the release Valve to be univeral with a GUI to restrict flow and
Liquid type extracted
Though it was the release valve but it turns out the Storage tanks
needed coding to drain themselves after giving the release valve the
liquid ammount present.
Other than that the rest of the changes are just renaming from past push
Added: Item Render for Pipe
Added: Item Render for Tank
Changed: Improve motor model
Changed: Tank vol to use global var
Disabled: Motor rotation( tempary)
Fixed: Pick Block for all blocks except pipe which picks to steam pipe
etc etc normal cleanup and derps
Nothing really change for updating to 1.4.5 to 1.4.6 only had to fix 3
errors related to UE Vector3. However i did correct a config file bug as
well as fix pump wire connect to work better.
Did some file changes to make finding things easier
Added: Custom creative tab
Changed: File root system, :p to many files
Changed: Tank liquid trade method to balance out instead of full trade
Changed: the packet update rate of the Tank to try to fix Render Lag
Fixed: Tank Render so Liquid levels can be seen
BugIgnorable: uneven levels of liquid will not show up on tank render
but are present
BugIgnorable: eValve names sometime glitch and call all instances Empty
XXX
TODO: Fix Textures, and add model for eValve
TODO: Finish One way valve
TODO: Finish OIL,STEAM,FUEL liquid/gas blocks
Fixed: the pipes having the same name as eValves
Fixed: Liquid tank trading system
Fixed: Tank being full and not filling next tank
Fixed: empty version of things showing up for Liquid type default
Added: eValve recipes
CleanedUP: Recipes, and convered most # to enum data to make things
easier to read
Everything is now converted to Forge Liquid API system. Everything also
works too some degree, but more bug testing is need.
Fixed: Issue with pump pumping none still sources
Fixed: Issue with EValve no getting powered on map load
ReAdded: StorageTank
etc etc minor cleanup, changes, stuff
fixed some issues with pipes but the main change is the addition of the
extractor valve(better name to come). This valve cause a machine to
start to output liqiud to basic Utilities pipes at a pressure so they
work. The Valve can also be turned off by redstone input to act as a
output control of storage tanks.
I've made a mess of changes since last upload. Main big change is change
in forge file formate that merged minecraft and common folder. The other
is the complete rewrite to Forge Liquid api. So far only the pump,
boiler, and pipe are converted to the new system. The pipe will actual
not fully work with most machines since it can't drain liquids out of
machines. In future update there will be a block to do this called a
pipe pump. Other than those changes nothing much is diffrent.
Changed it so that the block being clicked on now supplies the custom
readout message. This way each block can have its own message instead of
a general one for the TE type.
most of this is just continued rewrites in an attempt to better the mod.
Some of the basic changes are:
removed HeatProducer / merged it with IProducer
removed Liquid from some of the interfaces name
renamed IMehcanical to IForce
moved around files
add generator from steampower to where it should be
and finally normal ctrl+shift+f formating
got around to moving this so Calc could help me with the clean up of it.
So far i havn't changed much but will soon. The main focus for the next
week on the mod will be just cleanup and bug fixing. I will also be
moving the motor from steam power to here. The mod has alos been renamed
since now it contains more than just pipes.
