CCTransport
CCTransport's old design has been totally retired in favor of a new one. It's a bit more useful this way.
GitHub -
DownloadThere was a
suggestion a while ago that CC should add the ability to serialize and deserialize items, a la Applied Energistics. The idea is generally not great in terms of balance and such, but it seems like such an obvious idea that it deserves to exist.
How to UseIt's a pretty simple to use mod. Place down the Serial Chest in the world, and attach it to your computer. The peripheral methods are as follows:
- serialChest.serialize()
Remove exactly one item from the inventory and serialize it.
Return: token, itemDetailsOrError
If the serialization fails, token will be false and itemDetailsOrError will be the error message.
If the serialization succeeds, the token is an alphanumeric, randomly generated string. itemDetailsOrError is a table with the same format as the turtle.inspect() return format.
- serialChest.deserialize(token)
Deserialize a token into an item if possible.
Parameter token: The alphanumeric token representing the item to deserialize.
Return: success, errorMessage.
Deserialization fails if the item currently in the serial chest isn't the same kind of item as the item being deserialized or if there isn't enough room left. If deserialization fails, the token is not invalidated.
Deserialization succeeds if there is room for the item in the serial chest. The token is consumed and made invalid for reuse.
The serial_chest_update eventWhen a serial chest's contents are changed in any way, it emits a serial_chest_update event to all attached computers, where the event parameters are as follows:
local e, name, itemDetails = os.pullEvent("serial_chest_update")
- Parameter name: The name of the peripheral that updated.
- Parmaeter itemDetails: The details of the items in the chest.
Turtle UpgradeCrafting a turtle with a serial chest makes a serial turtle, capable of using its peripheral just as an ordinary serial chest. It uses specifically the slot selected by turtle.select().
ChangelogSpoiler
- v2.1.1
- v2.1
- Better Gradle versioning Base it on the tag and the commit.
- Turtle Upgrade
- v2.0
- Complete rewrite.
- 1.7.10
- No longer open peripheral addon.
- No longer uses single buffer for computers. Instead, you serialize and deserialize items.
- No more sign stuff

Cool! How hard would it be to make it save over chunk reload?

Probably not too bad. But I don't really think it's a good idea to hold on to these item stacks in the computer. You could run into problems with different coroutines trying to use the buffer so it should be encouraged that people flush the buffer immediately after filling it, and i don't like the idea of people using the computer as some hackish, one-slot inventory.

v1.0.0 is out. Added signs and sided inventories.
EDIT: Also the build script for the github repo is nicer.

Seems like pushFromComputer() doesn't work on most mod inventories. It didn't worked on all IC2 inventories and BC inventories for me… :(/>/>
After some testing, i found out that i can push Items from the Inventories into the computer, but i cannot push them into Inevntories from the Computer

The function isn't pushFromComputer. It's pullFromComputer. It's worked for me in all my testing. Also, if the block is a sided inventory you can use pullFromComputerToSide instead of specifying a slot.

Yeah, i didn't remebered the function name correctly. But i used the right one.
I theory, this should work with this code:

I'm not sure. I was fairly sure OpenPeripheral used "up" and "down." Not "top" and "bottom"
If that's not the issue, either the item in the computer buffer isn't allowed to be piped into the top, or I used the IInventory API wrong, which I'm fairly sure isn't true.

Well, i just tested it with "up" and "down". It is still not working. And i am sure that Iron Ore can be piped into an electric furnace from the top…

Thanks for making this mod! It goes really well with OpenPeripherals.
Now I can push items from my sort chest into the computer, and have another chest grab the items from there. Exactly what I needed for my system.

Thank you, I will probably make a spotlight of this in a few days, but I dont really understand the getSlotsFromSide() and pullFromComputerToSide() methods, can you explain those?

Thank you, I will probably make a spotlight of this in a few days, but I dont really understand the getSlotsFromSide() and pullFromComputerToSide() methods, can you explain those?
As you know, each inventory block has a set of slots representing each space you can put items in. OpenPeripheral gives you some level of access to these by letting you say "Move an item from slot a to slot b of the adjacent inventory." In a sided inventory, each side of the block corresponds to a certain few slots. getSlotsFromSide returns a table with all of those slots for a specified side.
With CCTransport, a computer has a small buffer inventory. It fits exactly one itemstack. You use pushToComputer(slot) to push an itemstack from the slot in the inventory to the buffer in the computer. To get it out, any inventory can then use pullFromComputer(slot) to pull the stack from the computer into the slot. In the case of sided inventories, pullFromComputerToSide(side) doesn't specify a slot. It specifies a side, and CCTransport tries its best to push the stack in, similar to piping an item in from that side with BuildCraft or something.

I cant get inv.pullFromComputerToSide(side) to work (I did wrap the peripheral of course). I assume the sides are the same you would use for something like the redstone api, so "left", "right", "back", etc. it just returns "lua:52: attempt to call nil" inv.getSlotsFromSide() to work either. All of the other methods work

The sided methods only work on ISidedInventories, not simple inventories like chests.

It would be nice to have a method that returns true if there is something in the buffer, and maybe one that returns how many items are in it

Not a bad idea. I'll get on that…
EDIT: Actually, can't do that very well. It would involve adding global functions to the computer, which I can't do through the CC API.

And i found another bug…
It seems like CCTransport doesn't like Barrels from Factorisation that much.
It duplicates Items when i access it with a Computer and use .pushToComputer()

I dont know about this particular case, but generally speaking, barrels conflict/have conflicted with almost every other mod with item transport

So I found this dupe bug in my attempts to make a basic slot machine. If you dont want to waste time trying to reproduce it you can use
this script and follow what I did in the video.

is there a way to check what item it has stored? this would be ideal for my quarry program if it does have such method!

I checked it out when you posted that and I checked it again just now. I cannot see any reason for this bug outside of the bugs barrels generally cause and I have no interest in special casing for other mods.
is there a way to check what item it has stored? this would be ideal for my quarry program if it does have such method!
Unfortunately this wouldn't be possible unless I could add APIs to the computer itself that do some Java rather than just to a peripheral.

such a shame would be a good add-on if it was possible thanks for the quick reply save me trying to figure it out myself i thought it stored the item it pulled from the chest into a variable or something?? it would be nice to read from it :(/>

Any chance that this gets updated for CC 1.6.x?

With the lack of an official OpenPeripherals release for 1.7.10, I decided to update CCTransport to be a standalone CC addon that functions completely differently than it used to.

That is definitely awesome!
I have a few suggestions :
- A serializing turtle upgrade. Making the turtle able to serialize and unserialize in its own inventory.
- Something to make it less OP (energy consumption or something more creative!)

Good idea.

Definitely don't want to tie this into any energy network as a requirement. CC likes being fairly standalone. I can definitely make turtles use some amount of fuel. But regular computers are a bit trickier…

Maybe you can add a fuel slot in the cereal chest, and then chest.refuel().
And by the way, if you keep the idea of fuel, that would be cool if you would set the amount of fuel needed for (de)serialization in the config file.

Hm strange. I'm not getting the same error, and I'm using the same versions of Forge, CC, and MC. Is this error occurring at launch or do you trigger it somehow?

Both me and SquidDev have tried to reproduce this crash under the exact same conditions as you and we aren't able to do so. The error you're getting is that the "getTabLabel" method for CreativeTabs can't be found, and that doesn't make any sense at all. Can you try a fresh install?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled java (jre8) and forge but nothing changes… I have the exact same error:

huum wait maybe I'm stupid but:
Is your mod available on server ?
If yes why the server should know the method to create creative tabs ?
cause yes … my issue is on the server only (client run normaly), maybe i should say that before to start wasting your time.

… Oh I feel dumb. I don't know why I never bothered to test it on a server, or why no one ever reported that it didn't work on a server. But yes, getTabLabel is @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) so that is the problem.

And there you go. I apologize for apparently never paying servers any mind. You should be good to go now with the 2.1.2 release.
