Purpose:Adds a "North Bridge" peripheral for ComputerCraft that can interface with RedPower's Redbus/Ribbon Cables.
Download:0.0.6 (Beta)Screenshots:Spoiler
(courtesy of gamax92)Spoiler
North Bridge:
SSS
SRS
SCS
S = Clean stone
R = Redstone dust
C = Ribbon cableSpoiler
redbus.getAddr(deviceId)
- Returns the deviceId of the device with the given id. This is kinda useless but it's in here for completeness's sake
redbus.setAddr(deviceId, value)
- Sets the deviceId of the device with the
redbus.read(deviceId, offset)
- Reads the specified offset on the specified device
redbus.write(deviceId, offset, value)
- Writes the specified value into the specified offset on the specified device
redbus.sortronProcessCommand
- (Sortron only) Processes the last command immediately, without waiting the usual 2 ticks. The Sortron might still stall on some commands.
An API that simplifies wrapping and sortron control is in the works and I'll add it as soon as I figure out how to install it and autoload it. Message me on IRC if you want the API as is.Spoiler
block.northBridgeBlockID
- The block ID for the "North Bridge" block (default=1320)- Texture by Jakingtosch
- build.xml taken from OpenCCSensors
Changelog:Spoiler
0.0.6 (Beta)
- Increased hardness
- Changed texture
- Added redbus API
- Changed the orientation datavalues. I recommend re-placing every ccredbus you placed if you care about the orientation.
0.0.5 (Beta)
- First public release- Tell me if you're aware of any
Source:The source code is available at
https://github.com/TomyLobo/ccredbus under the LGPLv3 (until someone makes a valid case for another license)
Hate messages:Spoiler
Things I've been called on IRC after pasting the link to this thread on #redpower:
[18:10:30] -eearslya- [Thank you for b]anning TomyLobo. You cannot believe how badly I facepalmed when I saw what he posted.
[18:54:05] -hawk777- Eearslya: The bastard just explained. He broke into the sortron to make it faster.
[19:48:26] -gruetzkopf- that is permission for modpacks, stupid
[19:48:36] -tomylobo- would you mind not insulting me?
[19:48:45] -gruetzkopf- nope, trottel [german for "moron"]
[21:04:40] -eearslya- I would like to take this time out of my day to say one thing. I think you are a scumbag. That is all.

W O W. Awesome. But you know you could make something like this using redpower bundled cables.

this means i can use a sortron with CC?!?!? <downloads mod>

yes, in fact i combined this mod with the sortron and ccnoise and now there's a horn signal whenever a certain item is missing in my ender pouch (another ender pouch)

Eloraam doesn't like people reverse engineering RedPower, and I wouldn't be surprised if this gets removed from the forum.

Then it's still available on my homepage and github. I'll probably reopen the topic I had on the minecraft forums, too.
It'd still be better to have this on here where it belongs, though. It's a peripheral made for ComputerCraft, after all.

Technically you're not modifying redpower at all. Eloraam would be pissed to find this, but you're not doing anything illegal by any definition.

Getting close to bundling the API with the mod. Just need dan's permission because of the way I'm doing it.

might I request some functions and events so that redpower computers can talk to the peripheral? Probably events for read/write and a function that sets and gets the values that can be read(cause you can't(as far as I'm aware) call a function directly without doing weird things like somehow grabbing the lua function and compiling it into java); actually, looking at your speaker mod, you could perhaps add an option similar to how you did the functions for sound generation for the read/write(though I'm not sure if this would ever be useful)

Adding such a feature would force me to use RPC.
Avoiding RPC was the reason why I made this peripheral.
What's your use case anyway?

I, for one, would like to see the reverse in some form.
One of the reasons to use RPC rather than CC is that it maintains a consistent state through reloads. Something which is not possible in CC, and (official line) will not be. Approximating it is hard, too.
Plus, it behaves more like a computer, and is far kinder to the server. (It has memory limits!)

I had no trouble saving state to a file each time that state changes :)/>
I would highly doubt that statement about it being kinder to the server.
Of course, CC has the potential of being more of a strain on the server, simply because RPC is resource-limited and CC is (almost) not.
But if you compare efficiency, you have an emulated CPU on one side and LuaJ, which compiles to java bytecode, which the Hotspot JVM JITs to native code if it's run a lot.
I hope it's clear to you, which one is more efficient :)/>
EDIT: using the CC peripheral interface to attach peripherals to non-CC stuff would probably violate the license

I think CC interpets Lua… also, why care about CC's license but not RP's?

ComputerCraft uses LuaJ, which is a "Lightweight, fast, Java-centric Lua interpreter written for JME and JSE, with string, table, package, math, io, os, debug, coroutine & luajava libraries, JSR-223 bindings, all metatags, weak tables and unique
direct lua-to-java-bytecode compiling." (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/luaj/)
Why I care about the CC license? for one, because I'm posting this on computercraft forums :)/>
The CC devs have also never been unreasonable, unavailable or just outright assholes, while eloraam has been all of that.

Though it is true that LuaJ is CAPABLE of direct lua-to-java-bytecode compilation, it is not used in CC as far as I know.

You can see that it is used if you take a look at the ComputerCraft zip file in any zip-capable tool

Just because the files are there doesn't mean they're being used. Lots of forge hooks aren't used by CC, so why have them included when CC is the only mod installed? Point being that Dan isn't gonna take the time to remove the files from package, especially not since you typically aren't supposed to mess with the file structure of someone else's API.

Eloraam is a very private modder. She does not like people lurking through her code, especially since she's not obligated to keep it the same for future versions. She's had a power conversion mod taken down entirely because it included Bluetricity.

Galactica4: Eloraam forbids reverse engineering of RP2, like most closed-source licenses.
42 posts
Posted 18 July 2013 - 10:35 PM
Eloraam can't enforce that reverse engineering for the purpose of interoperability against any EU citizen (which includes me)
So if she takes down my mod, she'll have to do other things to convince people to do so.
I have a few in mind, but I'm not gonna detail them here for several reasons.

Btw, after my converter mod, Eloraam threatened to stop modding if anyome did that again.
