[IC2 Exp][1.7.10|1.8.9|1.10.2] Uncomplication, IC2Classic E-Net, IC2Classic Recipes, Old UUMatter... And all of that for IC2Exp.

You want the EnergyNet of IC2Classic or want recipes to be easier, but you want the new Features of IC2Experimental? Then wait no longer. This addon is for you then.
As the name of this addon says, it UNcomplicates stuff.
You know that many of the recipes are more complicated than they could be?
This addon solves this problem. It removes exactly one layer of complication.
Instead of using iron/copper/bronze/tin plates in recipes, you can just use iron/copper/bronze/tin directly.

I was inspired by this thread to make this addon. It is still proof-of-concept, but it works.

As of Version 0.1.0.0 there is also a config option to replace IC2's E-Net with IC2Classic's E-Net.
What this means is basically, the Energy Distribution will be exactly as it is in IC2Classic, but you will have all the features of IC2Experimental.
The E-Net is exactly like the one In Speiger's IC2Classic version. I worked together with him to get this addon working.
What this means:

• You have energy packets again.
• Cables vaporize, when you put too high of a voltage through.
• Machines explode, when you feed them with an improper voltage.
• Transformers are *not* useless anymore.
• This also works with addons.

But your solution is not the best...

. It is still proof-of-concept

Quote from Speiger

Since it is a IC2 Addon why don't you simply override the RecipeData inside every Recipe

When I override the recipe input and the recipe is conflicting with something else, there will be a problem. This way however, the default recipes will still be in place in case the recipe I create conflicts with something. I also made sure this recipe is always lowest priority, so in case it conflicts with something, the other recipe will be taken since there will be an alternative recipe for what this one would produce (the original one).

The IC2Classic E-Net as an addon for IC2Exp is finally there.

Cool
Did you solve the transformers and packets?

For the transformer doing a single packet only, I did a workaround.
For the transformers not down-adjusting, I did a fix.

Feature - You should add all the old cable back too so we've got a choice for how much insulation can go on gold and iron cables.

The point of this addon is to bring the old E-Net back. The old cables or so would require a block, which I don't intend to add to this Addon. If another addon wants to add them, they can do so freely due to E-Net supporting the Experimental API. (At this point, thanks to Speiger again.

The block IDs for them are still there, but it seems like there's some converting code to turn 3->4 and 6+7->8. Unless the IDs have been overridden to just replicate each other. If there is just conversion code, surely is could be overridden to do nothing?

That would be hacky though...

Quote from Chocohead

You've replaced the entire E-net, I don't think one little wire hack would be very major.

Replaceing that mechanic would either require a lot of work or a lot of ASM hackery. The first one I try to avoid, because it means a lot of work, the second one I try to avoid, because it is (in most cases) avoidable, not proper work and causes problems.
The only hack I did with IC2 was, I ASM'd one single Annotation in the code. That's it. I wouldn't even consider that a big hack.

When I thaught about EU Detector cables, I was 99% sure, they wouldn't work. Not only because of the EU mechanics change, but also because of the Multi-Packet support the Classic E-Net has.
