  • April fools joke.

    Quote from mtesseract


    Well, a big difference between RF and EU is that EU can overload machines since it comes in packets. You can see these as the voltage of the cable.
    For example, you can have packets of 512eu/t or 32eu/t. You can also transport RF at xxxRF/t, but these packages have no influence on the machine they are connected to.
    An important thing to keep in mind is: without upgrades/transformers, you can blow up your machines, smelt your cables, etc.
    RF on the other hand is a pretty consistent flow that doesn't have any impact on the machines.
    In short: EU challenges the player to set up a proper electricity net, where he/she has to think about things like losses (higher voltage = lower losses), right voltages for the right machines, the correct energy buffers, etc. RF is just creation > storage > usage and for each (including the transportation) you can use pretty much whatever you want and connect it to whatever machine you want. This requires no real thinking.


    This is false and has been false for at least two years now. You've described how EU used to work, but not how it works now. The way it works now is pretty much identical to RF, except not interoperable with RF.

    Question : I tried ARS with IC2 classic Speiger version, and it seems that ARS blocks doesn't require power, is this due to ARS not detecting IC2 classic and going "vanilla" mode ? Also, IIRC there was a RF/EU/kJ power option but I don't see it in config...

    Look for a preferredEnergySystem setting in immibis.cfg, and try setting it to ic2.

    Quote from Chocohead

    Is the Programmable Filter meant to only connect to Industrial Tesla Coils under it? That's the only face that the data beam comes out from. And it is always there too, I presume it's only meant to be shown when connected to something?

    It should face away from you when you place it. It should always be there - it shows you where to place the connected block.

    how would i set a force field to allow a specific player to pass through the force field but not others?

    this way i can setup so that it protects me and i can just run through it?

    You can't. Intentionally.

    Quote from mementh


    edit 2: i found out that galacticafts glass fibre block allows EU to flow through it with the field on.. i have not tested buildcraft or anything.. but it would be nice to have some way of getting things into the field without turning it off!


    Couldn't you just put a batbox/CESU/MFE/MFSU in the same place as you put the glass fibre block?


    Quote from mementh


    but i still can't figure a way to have it allow a person it but not others or require a key to get into !

    You can't. Forcefields are forcefields, they wouldn't be very good forcefields if you could walk through them.


    Quote from mementh


    1. why not have the emitters directly powered and turned on by redstone?

    2. why have it remote.. it does not feel right to have all this "wireless" since you still have to give a redstone signal to turn it on.... ( remote control would be awesome for this if it was kept wireless)


    History.

    Quote from DudeWithOldTextures

    Good day.
    So, does crash with forcefields upgrades pointing in unloaded chunk was fixed?
    Thank you for reading and again - good day.


    I don't remember ever hearing about such a bug. Can you elaborate?

    Quote from VirMan

    I started to use this mod just recently - and it is only one forcefield mod working with ic2 and newest version of ic / railcraft/buildcraft and etc. so - question is is it maintaned anymore? i can;t find any entrance module like mffs had.


    What is an entrance module?

    You can "poke a hole" in a forcefield if you have a tube projector pointing through another forcefield. They have to both be linked to the same forcefield core.

  • [Port][1.7.10] IC2 Classic by Immibis - now 1.7.10

    Have an update!

    • Renamed many API methods to avoid conflicts. (If you have any of the exactly 0 mods that use the IC2 Classic API, then you'll need to update those)
    • Fixed the extra garbage text in seed bag tooltips.
    • Fixed rubber tree leaves evaporating.
    • Fixed two secret recipes that should have used the ore dictionary, but didn't.
    • Fixed drills and chainsaws being unusually slow on some blocks. (Blame Notch)
    • Fixed diamond drill recipe not working.
    • Made sure Nuclear Control, GraviSuite, and Advanced Solar Panels work with the compatibility module.
    • Fixed electric tools being enchantable. (Armour still is, since it seems less weird - in particular, most of the armour enchantments just add more protection)

    Also, what's everyone's favourite version of GregTech before GT5? (GT5 was the rewrite where every machine was tiered and GT had its own energy system)

  • [Port][1.7.10] IC2 Classic by Immibis - now 1.7.10

    This seems to work with both Immibis Core and Nuclear Control.

    Energy counters and average counters from Nuclear Control don't work currently. Thermal monitors, remote thermal monitors and reactor sensor cards do work. Energy sensor cards do work. Nuclear Control uses some IC2's networking features that were previously removed (because vanilla already had those features); they have been re-implemented in the compatibility mod.

    Also, did the buttons in the thermal monitor GUI work previously? I can't see how they possibly worked with real IC2, but just in case, I fixed that bug with some more ASM.

  • [Port][1.7.10] IC2 Classic by Immibis - now 1.7.10


    Okay then, I'll try fixing it a different way. (JAR attached to this post)

  • [Port][1.7.10] IC2 Classic by Immibis - now 1.7.10

    IC2 Classic does not (or is not supposed to, anyway) rely on Immibis Core. Neither does the compatibility mod - it's just set to load after it if it's installed (Unless Forge broke something again and it's treating that as a requirement?). This is necessary since Immibis Core does something slightly weird that otherwise causes it to not work with the compatibility mod. There could be other mods that do similar things.

    IMetaDelegate is not implemented currently. Not implementing it won't break anything inside IC2 Classic, only other mods that use the IC2 Experimental API (which it's from).


    The new version attached to this post should fix the ClassCircularityError (not sure why I didn't get that crash in Eclipse though) and the dependency cycle with Immibis Core.

    Quote from Speiger


    Also a thing. Immibis added ASm to the IC2 Classic thing. Which is really not required... He makes that to make FakeMod that says i am IC2.... which is not really a need.


    Sure it is. Otherwise, what happens when a mod says it requires IC2, and IC2 isn't installed? (Answer: Forge gives you an error messages and refuses to load the game).

    Also note that it's not in IC2 Classic proper, but in the API compatibility mod.

  • [Port][1.7.10] IC2 Classic by Immibis - now 1.7.10

    And, because of the previously mentioned API changes, some amount of compatibility with IC2 Experimental is now possible!

    Install the latest version of IC2 Classic, as well as the mod attached to this post (which you should regard as being experimental and unstable), and some IC2 addons.

    It seems to work with at least my Advanced Machines and Advanced Repulsion Systems. Please report any mods that don't work, and any crashes you get.

  • [Port][1.7.10] IC2 Classic by Immibis - now 1.7.10

    Updated (release 1.7.10-7).

    New changes:

    • Internal API changes, to bring things more in line with IC2 experimental where possible.
    • Ore-dictionary saplingRubber can be extracted.
    • Sticky resin is registered in the ore dictionary as itemRawRubber.
      It should now be compatible with MFR raw rubber.
      This should work both ways - MFR raw rubber can be tripled by extracting it.
    • As a side effect of battery item API changes, full batteries won't fit into charging slots
      and empty batteries won't fit into discharging slots. Since the whole "items not fitting in slots"
      thing is annoying to start with, expect all of these to be abolished in a later version
      if there are no objections.

  • [IC2 Exp][1.7.10] IHL Tools & Machines

    Code
    public static Item bucket_tarPitch = new IHLItemSimple("bucket_tarPitch");




public IHLItemSimple(String unlocalizedName1)
{
    ...
    GameRegistry.registerItem(this, this.itemName);
}

    This is a slightly dodgy way of registering items. It means that, for example, if some other mod accesses the IHLMod class before FML does, then tar pitch buckets will be registered under the other mod instead of IHL.

  • [1.7.10] Gregtech Hardmode Server (aka Kirara 2.0)

    Fun fact: about 1% of the client startup time is GalacticCraft not loading until it's finished downloading the list of capes. Another 1.5% is CustomOreGen loading it config... and another 50% is GregTech registering recipes for every possible shape of every possible material. Of that 50%, the vast majority is spent looking for recipes to remove in case they already exist. O_o

    Minecraft also spends 20% of the time loading textures.

  • Heat pipes

    Quote from MauveCloud

    Actually, there was a similar suggestion last month: Heat conductors

    I think it's already possible to do something similar to what you describe, using liquid heat exchangers, hot coolant, and fluid regulators (or liquid pipes from another mod like BuildCraft)

    1. Liquid heat exchangers can only cool down liquids, not heat them up.
    2. It's harder than just adding more heat generators.

  • Heat pipes

    I'm surprised this hasn't been suggested yet.

    You should be able to make heat pipes out of copper and rubber. They can be connected to the orange dot sides of heat generators and consumers. Heat produced by a heat generator will be distributed evenly to all connected consumers. (What currently happens if heat is not consumed?)
