Of course there is. What a silly question.Is there a difference in APIs or something between the two?

It would be difficult yes, and when both mods are present on a server, with the current methods its implemented, it would crash ComputerCraft.ha, let me rephrase that then. Is the API so different that it wouldn't be practical to create one for ProjectRed?

Well if its so simple and needed then why don't you do it… stating how simple simple something is or isn't won't change the developers minds or opinion on the matter.Really it wouldn't be that hard. There's one method to implement for which sides connect, one for getting the byte array of output, and one to call to get the input. It's a really simple API.

Is it impossible to support both? Doubt it.

The API implementation going in that direction makes no sense. The sensible way is the current method, that the mod adding the wires provides an API to interact with them, and anything wishing to interact with them uses their API.

That doesn't make sense for the mod adding the cables, though. To go around and look for any mod that provides an API for bundled cables to interact with their blocks would be a little silly, I think. It could work, I guess, it just seems a little absurd if you expand the concept beyond just ComputerCraft.

How about this… ComputerCraft makes the API, the other mod makes an API, and then someone makes a 3rd mod to bridge the gap between them :P/>It's no sillier than it would be for computercraft to go around and look for any mod that provides an API for bundled cables would be. It's just people making choices for things they want.

What happened to that one that ChickenBones was doing?What if someone (Forge may be) add Bundled Cable Interface, which can be used by all authors?

Since ChickenBones and MrTJP are doing such an awesome job on the Project: Red mod, I think it should be supported. It is really the best replacement out there.

I'm working on a peripheral mod (started yesterday) and the first perephiral i'm adding is a Bundled Connector that works with Project Reds bundled cables.
The output works and i'm working on the part for reading the input.
Below is a screenshot taken 30 mins ago.local p = peripheral.wrap("left") p.setBundledOutput(colors.white + colors.magenta)

yes it will, since colors.white is 1 and colors.magenta is 4. Luckily in this case it does work, but its the worst way of doing it.Whats with the "colors.white + colors.magenta"? Does that select both?

I now got a working version of the Extra Peripherals Mod.
As I'm not allowed to create a new topic I'll post a link here.
It includes the Bundled Connector peripheral so you can control Project Red bundled output/input through your computers.
It works almost like the bundled options in the redstone API except for that it uses north, west, south and east instead of fron, left, back and right as side.

It would still take up one block, and the cord would look weird connecting to it.Nice! It would be nice if it was able to be attached to the side of the computer like a modem, but still nice none the less. Good work!

There are two peripherals in the game that look like modems.Oh I know it would still take up the block. But whenever I think of perpheals I think of them looking like modems. XD

Scince when has a computer been a peripheral?There are two peripherals in the game that look like modems.Oh I know it would still take up the block. But whenever I think of perpheals I think of them looking like modems. XD
The wired modem, and the wireless modem.
There are at least four peripherals that are full-block
computer, monitor, disk drive, and printer.
Where did you get that idea?

What is the 'best' replacement and who is doing 'an awesome job' is completely opinion based. (I do love ChickenBones's mods though :)/>) Also, you just bumped a month old thread to show support for a suggestion. While not officially stated, moderators have replied to certain threads to say that you need to add useful or good content (something that these forums could use a little more of) to bump an old suggestion.
yes it will, since colors.white is 1 and colors.magenta is 4. Luckily in this case it does work, but its the worst way of doing it.Whats with the "colors.white + colors.magenta"? Does that select both?
For example colors.white + colors.white + colors.orange you would expect for it to turn on white and orange, however it doesn't, it turns on magenta. Why? because 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 and as shown before magenta is 4.
The way that this should be used is use of colors.combine so that you get the desired output, if we test with the above using this, colors.combine(colors.white, colors.white, colors.orange), it will now be 3 which is what the output should be to get white and orange.

Er, no, colors.white & colors.white & colors.orange = 0. You're thinking of "or", usually denoted by a pipe, though under ComputerCraft's Lua implementation you have to use the bit.bor() function (which only accepts two parameters, unlike colours.combine(), making BIT's code easier to implement then what you propose).Why use a function like colors.combine? Yes, you make a very valid point that using addition is incorrect for this purpose but there is another mathematical operator in programming that will do the exact same as colors.combine, the 'and' operator ( & ).
E.G. colors.white & colors.white & colors.orange = 3 which is the same result as colors.white + colors.orange effectively ignoring the extra white, and is exactly the same as your colors.combine example only shorter to write and quicker in operation (as the interpreter does not have to do extra overhead stuff before and after calling the function of combine in the colors object) :)/>

Holy smokes THANK YOU !!
where can I report bugs within your mod? I don't want to hijack this thread and get banned or whatever..

There is an API for other mods to add their bundled cables to ComputerCraft. We have gotten word from ChickenBones, one of the devs of Project:RED, that support will be added to Project:RED soon.…The maker refuses to support ProjectRed Bundled Cables as he prefers to stick to supporting the original, RedPower. Native support for RedPower in versions after 1.4.7 is pointless as RedPower is no longer in development. Supporting its successor, ProjectRed makes more sense.
Obviously you missed the beta section of the forums. The beta version currently undergoing testing is available for 1.7.2ComputerCraft is falling behind the rest of the modding community by not progressing on to MC 1.7.2+. Many of the major mods have progressed to 1.7.2 like BuildCraft, Industrial Craft, ProjectRed, Tinker's Construct/Mechworks, Twilight Forest… I could go on but I think my point is made.

Well someone clearly isn't keeping up with the modding community. Eloraam has started development on RP3Native support for RedPower in versions after 1.4.7 is pointless as RedPower is no longer in development.

Oh my…news to me as well. Definitely looking forward to RP3! And with ProjectRed and RedLogic out there, we'll have a nice bevy of choices…Well someone clearly isn't keeping up with the modding community. Eloraam has started development on RP3

Well, it says she's not decided yet. It'd be dang stupid of her not to include multipart, because then there'd be two microblock systems out there, which likely wouldn't be compatible with each other. My money is on the idea that she will use multipart.yep, but sadly she said no to using multipart. :(/>

There are already four incompatible ones (Immibis' Microblocks, FMP, BC facades, AE2 facades). TE3 is adding their own in 1.7.10, from what I heard, so that makes five. If not for the fact BluePower died, we'd have six (but BluePower's was only supposed to be a fallback).
FMP is not really a standard.

I thought AE2 and TE3 were using FMP? Also BC is the only thing that uses its facades and Immibis' Microblocks aren't really used too much. FMP is used a lot.

The colour functions are there for simplification - granted they do so little as to be near redundant (in the past I've forgotten they exist), but they're easier to explain, for one thing.
