[MC 1.8.9-1.12.2] Plethora

• Introspection: investigating the current player's inventory (and ender chest)
• Scanner: scans blocks in an area, gathering metadata about them and allowing wrapping peripherals remotely
• Sensor: scans entities in an area. Like the scanner this allows getting metadata and wrapping them as peripherals.
• Frickin' laser beam. It fires lasers.

Spoiler

Mod integration


Some modules


The neural interface

The culmination of this mod: Squid with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

inv.list() -- Can call this as much as I like.

-- Duck out and modify inventory contents here

inv.list() -- MC crash

Does interfacing a critter nametag them (that is, prevent them from despawning)?

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 06:45 AM said:

Seems odd to just have kin.disableAI(), as opposed to a toggle? Said function makes it impossible to move my test dummy (a zombie pigman) at all - whether it be by my character pushing them, kin.launch(), whatever.

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 06:45 AM said:

kin.launch() seems a tad… overpowered? I mean, kin.launch(0,270,4) translates to "send entity over fifty blocks up into the air"… Likewise, that infinite-ammo laser really packs a wallop…

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 06:45 AM said:

getTransferLocations() seems to show up in places where it shouldn't (ie pretty much everywhere).

-everything is awful-

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 06:45 AM said:

Best I can make out there's no way to "use" items other than food yet, and no way to interact with external inventories? I may just be missing something there?

SquidDev, on 08 August 2016 - 07:40 AM said:

Balance is not my strong suite. I don't know why launch seems to throw you in the air so high when horizontal velocity is so low. There is a sort of rate limiting on the laser but making everything non-op needs some work.

SquidDev, on 08 August 2016 - 07:40 AM said:

You should be able to wrap chests and what-not as peripherals from a computer so I guess you're talking about from the neural interface? At the moment no: I'm not sure the best way to handle it. All ideas welcome!

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 01:03 PM said:

If I might hazard a suggestion: an expensive crafting station would make it rather more "fair" to have individual, high-powered items at a cheap price.

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 01:03 PM said:

You totally need to add a Cortex Reaver mob, by the way.

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 01:03 PM said:

Beats me how viable this is on the backend, but from the Lua-scripting side of things I guess it'd make sense to have the block sensor return a list of inventory blocks in range of the entity as a list of strings - presumably they have their own UUIDs or something. You could then either getInventory(UUID) them, or ownInventory.push() to them.

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 01:03 PM said:

An augment which adds an inventory to entities which otherwise wouldn't usually have them would be cool, too, especially if it gave them the innate ability to such up dropped items automatically like a player does.

Bomb Bloke, on 08 August 2016 - 01:03 PM said:

I haven't tried them, so I guess I'll ask if modems be equipped in augment slots?

immibis, on 27 September 2016 - 07:48 AM said:

Is that neural interface what it looks like - does CC now have an API for embedding computers into things?

Bomb Bloke, on 13 November 2016 - 09:23 AM said:

Putting aside that the modules were clearly still in place, it'd be handy if the error specified which modules it thought were missing…

Bomb Bloke, on 13 November 2016 - 09:23 AM said:

walk() seems to be missing from my character's interface (the pigman got it, even if it didn't work - I'd assume both functions should come from the kinetic module?).

• Were you using a world which had Plethora already on it? I don't think this would cause breakages, but I did change some item and block names which might have caused this issue.
• Did you call disableAI() on the Pigman before using walk? Otherwise the Pigman's AI might override your walk instruction and wander somewhere else.

Sorry about this :(/>.

Bomb Bloke, on 13 November 2016 - 10:12 PM said:

Is it intentional that the interface doesn't work with all vanilla mobs at this stage? Eg, Endermites, Pigmen children? Certainly the majority of mobs seem to accept them…

SquidDev, on 13 November 2016 - 11:11 PM said:

I've explicitly blocked baby mobs. Why would you do such a horrible thing to them?

• Implement IComputerItem and IMedia on neural interface (can now be placed in disk-drive).
• Fix issue when getting metadata of turtles
• Fix NPE when serializing entities due to the DisableAI capability
• Fix neural interface peripheral not being rebound
• Add neural interface overlays for remaining mobs
• Ignite TNT when hit by a laser
• Display module name in "module removed" error message
• Nerf the Y velocity on the kinetic augment

Bomb Bloke, on 05 December 2016 - 09:40 AM said:

Sooo… you've made an even cheaper ME system than AE gives us, yes? ;)/>

• Add note block module.
• Add keyboard: allows controlling computers remotely.
• Integration with Tinkers' construct, StorageDrawers, Tesla, Forestry, RefinedStorage, Applied Energistics and JEI (some of these are 1.10.2 only).
• Lasers set mobs on fire and can light nether portals.
• Preserve pocket computer's ID when upgrading to a neural interface.
• Allow blacklisting modules.
• Additional methods and meta providers.

function printname()
for k, v in pairs(furnace.getMetadata()) do
  if k == "name" then
  print(v)
  end
end
end
furnace = peripheral.wrap("bottom")
printname()
turtle.dropDown(1)
furnace = peripheral.wrap("bottom")
printname()

Thanks again for the great mod, just finished a Botania flower/rune crafter thanks to the chest searching ability.

local chat = peripheral.find("neuralInterface")
--# Capture all messages of the form "<count> stacks of <item>"
chat.capture("(%d+) stacks? of (.+)")
while true do
  --# Listen to all such messages
  local ev, message, pattern = os.pullEvent("chat_capture")
  local count, item = message:match(pattern)
  --# Tell the player that we're requesting them. Actual fetching of items is left as an exercise for the reader.
  chat.tell("Requesting " .. count .. " of " .. item)
end

• Expose module methods on blocks whose items are modules (noteblocks and daylight sensors).
• Add volume parameter to playNote.
• Add turtle and pocket computer upgrades
• Add redstone integrator
• Add chat recorder module
• Add additional meta providers
• Rename plethora:modules to neuralInterface and manipulator. Sorry, this will break a couple of programs.
• Several bug fixes

Bomb Bloke, on 12 February 2017 - 10:52 AM said:

My computers see stand-alone noteblocks as type "Music", but my turtle sees equipped ones as "minecraft:noteblock". Would be nice if they were standardised, preferably to something no other peripheral mod would use.

Bomb Bloke, on 12 February 2017 - 10:52 AM said:

For anyone interested, I've adapted Note to work with Plethora. Fortunately it already handled most any screen size, so there's no problem using it through a neural interface.

Bomb Bloke, on 12 February 2017 - 10:52 AM said:

The chat recorder would allow us to code mobs we could talk to and order about - if only it threw events when attached to them!!

SquidDev, on 12 February 2017 - 02:04 PM said:

Yeah. um, that is an issue. It is actually worse as you can also play from the neural interface and manipulator - they have different names as well. I'm not sure what to do here: I either leave as is or special case tiles with modules. Neither approach seems appealing.

SquidDev, on 12 February 2017 - 02:04 PM said:

This is actually by design, though I'm happy to reconsider. The chat recorder was designed for communicating between you and the computer and so only captures chat messages the wearer says. I guess it does make sense for it to receive events for all chat messages that the wearer gets.

Bomb Bloke, on 12 February 2017 - 09:48 PM said:

I've also been wondering about the feasibility of a key listener. It'd essentially make it possible to create quick-fire macros; eg, tap a button to search your inventory for a health potion, or to fire the kinetic module, etc…

That would be nice, though it might be rather network heavy: you'd have to send a packet for every key press whilst you have this item. Though I guess that is what happens when you are using the Keyboard item or interacting with a computer so it isn't too bad.

Though some sort of control over their movement would be nice (forward/backward).

What about a simple cart-linking mechanism, similar to TrainCarts.

SquidDev, on 23 February 2017 - 08:37 AM said:

Whilst train linking is a useful thing, I don't feel it fits within the scope of Plethora - it would be much better suited to a mod which just adds this feature. Knowing the modded community, there is probably something out there already.

• Fire chat_message event for all chat messages, now contains the entity's name and UUID.
• Add Baubles support to neural interface: can now be placed in the head slot.
• Change several methods to have no delay - allowing most note programs to run correctly.
• Allow keyboard to be mounted as a module. It monitors all key presses a player makes (so you don't have to open the keyboard or computer GUI).
• Fix key repeat events not being triggered when using JEI.

• Fix keyboard not working on multiplayer

• All of the above
• Fix crashing with block scanner
• Fix keyboard text not being translated on multiplayer

• Add support for CCTweaks' custom roms.
• Fix lasers not obeying the doTileDrops gamerule.
• Fix lasers sometimes breaking their manipulator.
• Reset fall damage after being launched by the kinetic augment.
• Allow adding upgrades to the minecart computer.
• Add command API to command computer minecarts.
• Add propel(velocity) method to the kinetic augment for minecarts.
• [1.10.2] Add .setActive() method to elytra item.

SquidDev, on 02 April 2017 - 02:18 AM said:

Firstly, the kinetic augment will adjust your "fall distance" after launching you, meaning you won't die from fall damage if your velocity is sufficiently low. This allows some rather interesting things: I wrote a silly little program which allows you to fly, slowing you down as you come near to the ground. Yes, Plethora is rather OP.

Bomb Bloke, on 02 April 2017 - 04:55 AM said:

I'd tried my hand at such a script a while back, and landing was indeed a bit of a problem. My main issue, though, was that the server I was on kept on kicking me for flying. Beats me how that works, as there were plenty of mods that added jetpacks and creative-mode flight options…

Bomb Bloke, on 02 April 2017 - 04:55 AM said:

That, and presumably due to latency I couldn't actually stay airbourne without frequent high-velocity launches.

Not sure where the best place to post errors would be, but I'm having issues starting my server with this mod. It crashes every time it gets to initializing the actual mod. I've added the crash report below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Reset floating time when launching using the kinetic manipulator. This means you will not get kicked for flying when using it. This can be disabled in the config, should you wish to.
• Add CCTweaks's wireless bridge as a minecart upgrade.
• Fix crashing server on launch.

Bomb Bloke, on 06 April 2017 - 06:00 AM said:

Dunno what you've already got planned for it, but it strikes me that being able to plot text characters into the world would be handy. Even if they just automatically turn to face the viewer, there's a lot that could be done with them, and having the support built in to the mod directly would likely reduce overhead on servers.

Bomb Bloke, on 06 April 2017 - 06:00 AM said:

You might even consider implementing Minecraft particle support. We can produce them via command computers but it'd be pretty cool to open them up to non-ops.

• Fix not being able to "swap" items in the manipulator GUI.
• Fix manipulator not being reset on death (again).
• Fix being kicked from a server when using a module and changing modules at the same time.
• Fix incorrect rendering of items in the manipulator on 1.10.2 and 1.11.2.
• Fire chat_message events, even if the chat recorder has no owner.

augiteSoul, on 15 April 2017 - 07:49 PM said:

You'll hate me, but why not a 1.7.10 version?

• There are a lot of changes between 1.7.10 and 1.8.9+, which makes managing multiple versions hard.
• There are plenty of 1.7.10 peripheral mods already: most of this mod's functionality is duplicated somewhere else.
• Let it go. Please, just let 1.7.10 die.

I'd like to see a mod that adds RFID and Mag Stripe/swipe cards like what ImmibisPeripherals used to have. Would you be willing to add this to Plethora?

• Fix IMedia provider using client side methods.
• Port pocket upgrades to use ComputerCraft's built-in system.
• Move from CCTweaks's IContainerComputer to ComputerCraft's version.

Hrmrmr, Thermal Expansion should work fine. What version of it are you running - there was a bug in their code which stopped Plethora from working, but it should be fixed in the latest build.

Bomb Bloke, on 16 June 2017 - 03:43 AM said:

If you type "peripherals" into the command line, you'll get a list of all available devices, along with their types. See this tutorial regarding how to wrap them, and also for how to discover what functions are available to them.

In this case, you're wrapping the neural interface. What the interface can do depends on what modules you've installed into it.

xFreak666, on 16 June 2017 - 02:54 AM said:

Yeah , i did all the steps mentioned in the documentation , however , what i'd love to know is the coding part.

I'm having some trouble getting modules from a manipulator, so I tried one of the tutorials just to make sure, and I keep getting "A module has changed" when trying to use modules.hasModule("plethora:laser"). What might be causing this?

• Add introspection module for turtles, providing more powerful interaction with the inventory.
• Add terminal glasses. This currently only supports the basic elements (lines, polygons, etc..) but more features are in the pipeline.
• Add creative chat recorder. This speaks as the server and can capture all player's inputs.
• Allow placing the manipulator on the side/top of blocks.
• Lots and lots of bugfixes.

• Allow using kinetic augment in turtles
• Fix overlay glasses not rendering objects with a deterministic ordering
• Allow offline players to talk through the chat recorder
• Track ownership of manipulators and neural interfaces, ensuring the correct GameProfile is used for world interactions.
• Rewrite the context and converter system, allowing to act more dynamically. This dramatically reduces the number of "This block has changed" errors you might get.

• Add support for CC: Tweaked wired networks
• Allow neural interface to act as a botania cosmetic bauble
• Various improvements to AE/RS integration
• Fix AE crafting not being accessible
• Fix RS not showing craftable items
• Add .export method to AE/RS item stacks.
• Remove CCTweaks integration

It would be nice to be able to change the Z order of the objects after they have been drawn, and being able to use the mouse with the neural interface keyboard to click and drag objects would be even better…

While I think about it :)/> being able to group objects together and move them around as one would also be nice, i.e.

Grouping would be very cool, but I'd have to have a thunk about how it would work internally. The current system of syncing between the server and client is pretty naive, so I'd need to improve that a lot in order for groups to not have a large network cost.

• Add line height and drop shadow setters to the overlay glasses' text (zeroeightysix)
• Support tab stops and new lines in the overlay glasses (zeroeightysix)
• Module blacklist now disables the item from being used
• Add nl_be language file (zeroeightysix)
• Send glasses_ equivalents of mouse events when using the keyboard and overlay glasses.
• Wait for energy to regenerate instead of erroring with a "Insufficient energy" message.
• Add support for CC:T's server timing tracker
• Add support for querying tinkers' multiblock structures
• Use ore dictionary for recipes
• Allow the beealzer to be used to query bee breeding data (apemanzilla)
• Make some recipes a wee bit harder

• Entity sensor returns positions relative to the eye height, rather than its block
• Fix Refined storage integration only working on the controller
• Fix AE item filtering from not functioning correctly
• Only proxy metadata on armour items
• Fix overlay glasses sending information more often then needed
• Fix redstone intgrator being thread unsafe
• Fix numerous issues with running code after the peripheral being detached

I never took you for a twelve flasher, SquidDev.

My only gripe would be the lack of example output for the getMetaByID / getMetaByName functions.

• Object groups on the 2D canvas, making it possible to move multiple items in one go.
• An augmented-reality-esque 3D canvas, allowing you to place cubes and displays in-world.
• A token third bullet point, because 2 didn't look quite enough.

• Allow clearing the introspection and chat recorder player bindings by shift+right clicking.
• Expose a module's bound player via a metadata provider.
• Add "object groups" to the overlay glasses, effectively acting as a sub-canvas with its own position and children.
• Add support for 3D objects in the overlay glasses. This currently supports a basic cubeoid "box" and a 2D canvas-like object.
• Rewrite the documentation generator to provide more consistent output.
• Include metadata providers within the documentation generator.

• Fix .getBlockMeta not reporting entirely correct metadata.
• Prevent some overlay glasses colours being mangled when returned from .getColour.
• Lots of fixes to argument parsing within the overlay glasses.
• Fix neural interface thinking modules had changed when they hadn't.
• Fix introspection module not providing a peripheral on relog.

I have a question; I wanted to interact with a Shield Projector from RFTools, but there are no functions to set new filters/shield textures or damage types. Will this every be made possible, or does plethora have a limited range of modded blocks that will be implemented?

If you could file an issue on the issue tracker with what sort of functionality/methods you need, I'll try to look at it. I don't really play heavily modded packs, so very much rely on the community to tell me what integrations are missing!

I made a small list of blocks that could be cool peripherals: https://github.com/S...hora/issues/158

It's been a while since I've used plethora, but I have a question about the Keyboard module - if it's bound to a computer, does it also capture mouse events while typing on it? And if not can we have that as a feature?

I made this request some time ago, and I think SquidDev implemented it in commit afd952a? I'm not sure about that though.

Sort of - it only works when you're using it with the overlay glasses. As I explained in the issue, I'm not really a fan of doing it elsewhere (i.e. for normal terminals), as I don't think there's a way to do it so it makes sense. You can't actually see the terminal, so there's no visual feedback on what you're clicking on.

• turtle.inspect() provides full block metadata if scanner is available
• turtle.getItemDetail() also includes nbtHash, like listing a chest.
• Allow refuelling turtles from FE/RF batteries (configurable, disabled by default)
• Wired networks can be routed through XNet networks. Think of this as AE2's peer-to-peer networks, but even friendlier on TPS!

• The whole system for creating new functions was rewritten again, making it more robust and much friendlier to use. Yes, this is an internal change which has no user-facing impact, but it's very cool so deserves a place in the changelog. On the bright side, the documented method signature should always be correct.
• Expose the "captured entity" for Soul Vials (EnderIO), Morbs (Thermal expansion) and vanilla spawn eggs and spawners.
• Allow adding items and lines to the overlay glasses' 3D canvas. (@Lignum)
• Add integration with Astral Sorcery, Chickens, Hatchery and Roost (@Nerdpie)
• Allow upgrading sensors and scanners with nether stars. Each star increases the range of a sensor/scanner by half the amount of the previous one.

Random question. Since CC-T is already on 1.14 any idea when this is going to follow?
