This simple mod uses nodeboxes to supply a complete set of 3D flanged pipes,
|
|
along with "valve" and "pump" devices.
|
|
|
|
Unlike the previous version of this mod, these pipes are rounded, and when
|
|
placed, they'll automatically join together as needed. Pipes can go vertically
|
|
or horizontally, and there are enough nodes defined to allow for all possible
|
|
connections. Valves and pumps can only be placed horizontally, and will
|
|
automatically rotate and join with neighboring pipes as objects are added, as
|
|
well as joining with each other under certain circumstances.
|
|
|
|
Pipes come in two variants: one type bears one or more dark windows on each
|
|
pipe, suggesting they're empty, while the other type bears green-tinted
|
|
windows, as if full (the two colors should also be easy to select if you want
|
|
to change them in a paint program). These windows only appear on straight
|
|
lengths and on certain junctions.
|
|
|
|
There are no crafting recipes, yet, but you can use /giveme as usual, namely
|
|
"/giveme pipeworks:pipe 999" or so, and then place them as needed. See
|
|
init.lua for more details.
|
|
|
|
This mod is intended to be used as a basis or at least as sort of a model for
|
|
something else to build on (perhaps a nicer-looking oil mod?), and does not
|
|
provide any of the code necessary to cause anything to flow through them. Like
|
|
the pipes, the valve and pump don't do anything useful yet, but you can punch
|
|
them to turn them "on" and "off". Note that the valve and pump textures and
|
|
shapes are not yet complete (hence their boxy appearance).
|
|
|
|
This mod is a work in progress.
|
|
|
|
Please note that owing to the nature of this mod, I have opted to use 64px
|
|
textures. Anything less just looks terrible.
|
|
|
|
If you don't need the old node names from the previous version of this mod,
|
|
edit init.lua and comment-out the 'dofile' line at the top.
