Yeah. Hope.... And also, I'm trying to get the gui to work. But when I try to 'draw' (for those who don't know, minecraft draws the gui's a certain way) a certain part of the gui, and click on the block, it crashes. Hopefully I fix this by removing more of the obfuscated code and fix the errors I have. Also, apparently, the original code has a bad statement. Remember kids, you can't divide by zero.
well you can, but there is no computer answer for it.
If it doesn't work and you have something that does, why bother potentially wasting your time of the broken one?
eventually it will have to be done in the latest experimental build. I just hope IC2 is stabilized before it goes to 1.7.2.
Alright, I quit that branch, and I'm moving back to the old one. The gui's wouldn't even work!
It sucks completely.
you can't grab the IC2 source code and see how they do their GUIs?
To be engine-ish.
Currently working on making gui's work right now. By the way, typing on a 3ds, its not a good idea.
LOL, I tried that once too. Not easy.
That's the whole point of those pictures.
why do they need RS particles?
bummer about the GUI's though.
Yep, you have a good point. Theres another reason why I would like to leave school early but, this thread is not for that.
Do you see what I see?
No gui yet since I derped up registering the gui's.
I see RS particles but no movement from the engine.
Get me a job and out of school, then I will.
Also, that big change broke the source code (ticking memory connection and ticking player). So, I have to roll my source code back a little bit. Nothing too major. The only problem is that I'll have to make new classes since the old mod used about two classes to do it's magic (Not including the engine's actual class, which I already made....). This is going to be so 'fun'.
Also, gonna make a new branch for my "experimental project"....
ouch, but it is life.
don't be so eager to leave school without job experience. I made that mistake and it is hurting me right now.
I love seeing progress! Keep it up!
-snip-
Gonna stop coding for awhile now, and enjoy life. I'll work on it tomorrow if I have time or if I can actually set some sleep.
"set" some sleep?
you do need sleep.
I WON'T SOUND LIKE HATER BUT, I'm checking it few days and...
- Why we should use this addon? What more it add then PowerConverters and in what it's better?
- Suggestion: Actually you should make slots both in same line and that GUI can be little bit smaller for no-collapse of TE based Tab at right etc.
- Will be availible SourceCode laterly? Is here chance, then content which is in it will be more complexive and Addon will add some new features,
hich aren't in any other 'ConvertersMod'?
Tnkx-
power converters doesn't add engines, this adds electric engines that you can use with pipes and move stuff around.
this doesn't give you a positive power loop like powerconverters because this can't produce steam. RC's turbines can produce 200 EU/t while using steam engines and a converter gives 160 EU/t, if you can produce steam from electricity you can produce infinite power without needing fuel after you get it going.
yeah, all those packets moving through lines was a major CPU load. but I don't like how they did the changes. They should have gone for a more realistic approach and added the amps onto each packet instead of just power. It is now an unforgiving version of BC power with line loss.
Based on Forestry, just make it work before it looks pretty
yeah, make it work first
the adjustable is the only one that needs the working GUI to get the most out of it.
excellent.
this is coming along nicely.
and hopefully it won't be a pain to update to the experimental version once we get it finished. or are you already in an experimental version....
The IUpgradeItem Class is a base class for all upgrade items. I only want one of those items. Greg just told me a way to do it so I'll take his advice and do it later...
Any way, this doesn't look wrong at all...
ah, upgrade items, forgot about them
do you think we should do an IV generator considering the max one BC pipe could bring in is 1024 MJ which at the current conversion is 2560 EU/t? or should we just stick with EV as max?
Well, it destroys the item entirely... I'm currently trying to fix it, however if I don't, I'll end up rebuilding the gui classes (only 2 or more). Its not really that bad... I just fixed however, item slot white-listing with the help of Greg and RubenBackX. The only problem with one is that, it allows all of the items types in it and I only want one in it.
item types? you mean all the items with the same base ID just different meta data or all power storage items?
No, can't be that.... Whatever, I'll try messing with it when I'm done trying to get the inventory slot to not a expensive garbage can...
garbage can? you mean it consumes the item instead of draining it?
Well then.... The engines store energy but show only the amount its allowed to input (without exploding) and its in the wrong place. I mean, waaayy wrong place.
one step at a time. maybe you swapped the x & y coords? I did that all the time when messing with CC stuff.
Well, I reverted the process and added some of the new features to the old version. For example, one new feature is that the engines now explode when the EU is past the limit of it. Get what I mean? Some new things are going in the old thing. And, thanks to RubenBackX (new team member), the inventory slots will kinda behave better than what I previously had before.
um, I could have sworn they did that already. Oh, would you add the ability for bedrock to fully power the engines like dirt does now (which is a bug). This would give a creative/cheat way to have infinite power.
Hmm.... Seems to work correctly (sort-of) now... Rewrote the entire class and still seems to work......
what does "sort of" work mean?
Damn it!
that is the bane of modders, the update cycle. though since this is a cross-over mod, we do have to wait till both IC2 and BC gets updated for 1.7.1 (which is supposed to come out fri)
