Posted June 4, 201510 yr Hello, I'm a newbie with forge, and I'm trying to make a energy system and machines(EX: Macerator, compressor) like in Industrial Craft, and Item/liquid transport system like in Buildcraft. Please help me. P.S.: I'm not creating an addon.
June 4, 201510 yr http://yourgameideaistoobig.com Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
June 4, 201510 yr up What help are you expecting? I mean - what do you need exacly? Have look at BC or IC code, or any other code. 1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.
June 4, 201510 yr Author Did anyone made a tutorial about this? Or I'll probably need to look at Industrial Craft javacode?
June 4, 201510 yr If your definition of "energy" is literally or close to what IC have, then for you as a person who is "newbie with forge" this is going to be really hard. Your best shot in even understanding how to code system like that is ONLY by looking at how redstone and/or IC's energy work. Once you understand how power flows through minecraft's 3d world via blocks (cables) - you might be able to start coding something - then you can come back here for direct help with code. Without that - we simply can't help you - the task you choosen is simply too difficult to just describe how-to in forum post. EDIT Did anyone made a tutorial about this? Or I'll probably need to look at Industrial Craft javacode? No, there are no tuts for stuff like that, it's advanced level. Yes, you should. Additionally: There are APIs for energy - why can't you use them? 1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.
June 4, 201510 yr Author TOPIC UNLOCKED. Wait, last thing. Do you know where the redstone packages are located? net.minecraft....
June 4, 201510 yr TOPIC UNLOCKED. Wait, last thing. Do you know where the redstone packages are located? net.minecraft.... Use your IDE (like Eclipse) and search Java for *redstone* constructor declarations. Regarding energy systems generally, the idea is that you need to have three types of blocks -- energy sources, energy conduits ("wires"), energy users (machines). In most cases you'll want these to have tile entities, as you need to remember some energy values and maybe do some complicated processing. The energy source just needs to keep a field that indicates the amount of energy it can provide. The energy conduit needs to look at neighboring blocks and adjust the amount of energy it has based on the energy sources and other conduits that are touching it. The energy users just need to look at neighboring blocks and check for energy sources or conduits with sufficient energy to operate the machine. That's the basic idea.
