[IC2 Exp][1.7.10] ElectricalAddition

Aroma1997 · February 11, 2015 at 8:23 PM Official Post

What is this mod?
Ok, so ElectricalAddition is just a little "playground", where I add random, IC2-related things.
Note: Some Blocks/Items in this mod are just proof-of-concept and are made out of functional, but partially inefficient code. Just be aware of that.

What is in this mod?

This is a "playground", so it basically contains random features like:
An EU-teleportation block.
A KU transport method.

Note: this mod might not be balanced.
Also note: One of my texture guys doesn't like me anymore, the other one, doesn't want to do textures (or is busy playing games). Therefore: no textures. If you want to do textures, go ahead.

Screenshots will come tomorrow.

Recipes:

There is a neat little mod called NEI, that will show you the recipes. I could basically write a whole essay about why you should use NEI to view recipes, but at least at the end of this sentence, you should get the point.

First!

Fancy. So this is why you've not been working on IC2

What are you doing for Modjam then if this is preparing for it?

SpwnX · February 11, 2015 at 8:33 PM Official Post

Also question that people will eventually ask, this is IC² dependant and can it transport other types of power (RF for example)?
Edit: Its missing textures, aww. Can't advertise it on FTB yet i guess.

Have I not been working on IC2? It only took me 3 hours to make this mod.
Oh and regarding ModJam, I have no clue when it is, but if I'd tell you my idea, it wouldn't be a surprise anymore.g

It is IC2 dependant and I see no point of adding support for other energy systems, since energy teleportation already for most of these systems.
Regarding the textures: as stated before, I don't have a texturer anymore and I simply cannot do it myself.

Nice

I'm probably going to make some sort of basic texture, slap a dot on the machine block or something.

If it takes you 3 hours to make magic EU teleporting blocks, you should be able to fix the E-net in a matter of days Still cool though

All we need is an AFSU/Teleporter hybrid ( if you can make both mod compatible ) to bring back the Holy IDSU ( Should be called AFSU-W , W for Wireless ).

I can provide textures if you want

What is AFSU and IDSU?

What is AFSU and IDSU?

AFSU: [Addon] AFSU Mod
IDSU: GregTech 4 "InterDimensional Storage Unit" which had the energy storage shared with all IDSUs placed by the same person.

Aroma1997 · February 12, 2015 at 5:07 PM Official Post

Well, the internal storage of these things is currently 10000.0D, but it's just one number to change (Config option(NYI)).

Aroma1997 · February 12, 2015 at 10:13 PM Official Post

So, if anyone wants to make some textures, I can either use them in the mod or use them to tell one of my texture guys to get to work.

Cool idea Aroma.
Here a tip which would make your thing much easier.
Instead of making a lot of IEnergySinks and IEnergySource you could make a FakeTileEntity that is IMetaDelegate,
that provide all tileEntities then you can make them to IEnergyConductors and let them Send/Receive Energy.

That wouldn't work, because why would I make the TileEntity a IEnergyConductor when I register the Delegate to the ENet and the ENet doesn't even know about the main TileEntity?
Also: I don't think there is an easyer way than having one line per function code. As I stated in the in the thread, I'm going for functionality here, not for efficiency. I just want to show what's possible, so it doesn't matter how I do things.

^^" That part of code would be same efficent, but it would make less sources to send energy, which would reduce the EnergyNet work (not network) on high use of these blocks.
Also i did explain the stuff a little bit bad. (Explaining is not my strength). The metadelegate is the only EnergyTile which is fake tileEntity but all the Placed blocks are the positions where the EnergyNet would find to main conductor, it would be simply a pathfinder. So instead of having on input and 20 outputs (or opposite) you can have one cable which provide energy in both directions where it is needed without of calling every sender to send his Energy. So you do no longer have Sender/Receiver in 2 differend blocks its only one block. It could be callen Wireless conductor. ^^"
But that is only a suggestion...

A thing what i nodest you useing TileEntity ticks to init the block to the EnergyNet. That is not really required, and there would be then only useless ticks after that. If a Tile of that requires ticks then you can override that. You should use onBlockPlaced in the block side,
or you could use validate on the TileEntity side. That would make less TileEntities on the list which the world has to progress. Means simply less work for the World.

That is not Arromas bug that could happen with any mods. It seemed to be that you have TOMANYMODS installed.
Increase your Ram in the launcher which you use and everything should be fine!

estebes · February 22, 2015 at 2:16 AM Official Post

It only happens when i add this mod. i have 10gb alocated to the pack. Seems to be some kind of memory leak or something

Speiger · February 22, 2015 at 3:00 AM

Yeah could be. But the Ramusage with Textures is not only based on the Flash ram (at least that should be the case(correct me if i am wrong)). It also depends on the graphics card space.
Hmmm anyway no idea what is causing that. I already do not use for coding the Basic registry anymore.
I made myself a custom Texture loader. xD (uses the vannilla even to load the textures) but is more modular xD

Aroma1997 · February 22, 2015 at 11:53 AM Official Post

It is definitely something else causing this error, because, well, I DON'T EVEN HAVE TEXTURES IN THAT MOD!!!!!
