[SMP] [MC 1.2.5 | CC 1.33 / 1.41] Touch Pen v 1.11 - Touch your Monitors

Intruduction:

A few days ago Pinkishu suggested Touch Monitors (http://www.computerc...creen-monitors/). But since dan did't wanted the Mouse In ComputerCraft I made a peripheral. Because I can't recode the Monitor itself I made Touch Pens that you can use on a Monitor.

And now it's there the port to SMP!!!!

Screenshots:

How to use:

1. Craft a Pen Dock and place it next to a Computer
2. Add a Monitor using addMonitor(side) side is the side the Monitor is attached to the Computer ex. addMonitor("left")
3. Remove a Monitor with removeMonitor(side)
4. When you now right click the Monitor with a Touch Pen the Pen Dock will queue an event for the computer:

Parameter Description
1/Event Name string "Monitor_touched"
2 string side (to identify the Monitor)
3 number xIndex (the xIndex of the Block that was touched (will be 0 for the leftmost Block))
4 number yIndex (the yIndex of the Block that was touched (will be 0 for the topmost Block))
5 number hitX (0 <= hitX < 1)
6 number hitY (0 <= hitY < 1)

5. When you've added a Monitor you can still resize it!
6. When the Computer reboots all added Monitors will be lost!

For use with Peripheral Cables:

If not both (Monitor and Pen Dock) are attached to a Computer directly use addMonitorByXYZ(x, y, z, side)
Put in the coordinates of the Monitor instead of x,y,z. You have to do this once for each Monitor even if the Monitor is bigger than 1x1 Blocks!

You can get the Coordinates of a Monitor by right clicking a Monitor with a Touch Pen while sneaking.

Heh nice :)/>/>

I still think mouse is completely unrealted to touchscreens but ohwell
Now we just need SMP and maybe a bukkit port

How did you make it not connecting to cables?

When the attach method get's called i grab the tile entity on the given side. I check if it's an instance of IPeripheral if so I only return true if getType returns "computer". :)/>/>

Yes SMP is something I've already thought of. But I have no experience on that yet.

STATUS: Currently porting to SMP!

Got an ID conflict, where can i change the ID's?

In the config file that you can find at .minecraft/config the file is called mod_touchPen or similar

Sorry did not meant to doublepost.

EDIT: Status update. New version is out!!

Happy to announce SMP support update!!! Get it before it costs money (will never be commercial)

This is great. Congratulations on a peripheral well done.

The block ID won't change, and I edited the .cfg in /config/ :ph34r:/>/>

What do you mean the default ID in v1.1.0 is 199 this should work if there is no other mod using this id installed. Whatever does it still not work now?

What I mean is, I can't change the ID in the config.cfg, 199 is occupied by RedPower for me ;-) Im trying to put 4053(which is free for me!) in the config.cfg but it still tries to occupy 199.

Oh that seems to be a bug. I will fix this.

Okay, sweet, thanks! :ph34r:/>/>

Ok fixing is done. Update is out.

Works now thanks :ph34r:/>/>!

I will like to point out that i will attempt to use this with my WIP LCD TV idea(search for my post in ASK a pro, im stuck on some parts of project)
Would be useful since users can more visually see what pixel will be lighted up(plus i can then add all the pixels binary vlaues instead of using a calculator on my desk XD)

Thanks, i just hope a bukkit port is made eventually!

Wird es einen Bukkit port geben? PS: Geniale idee

No there will be no bukit port. At least not by me.

If someone is interested in porting please send me a PM.

congratulations on your creation, I applaud you, now … need to create a wireless keyboard XD

the toche moneter is cool but it lookes hared to do so but in thes codenets function Awesomeness()
reader = you
while true do
if reader = you then
reader = Matrixmage
else
Awesomeness()
end
end love the ide (/undo up 12down 123)

First of all, use better Grammar, second, that could doesn't even work and isn't related to this mod at all.

He's been sending me crazy messages with next to no grammar, if you notice, that code he posted is my signature, it's like some weird stalking thing…

Would it be possible to recode the touch events so that they are equal to the new advanced computer's click events?

I haven't looked into the new stuff in version 1.45 since I'd been on vacation for the last 10 days. But I'm guessing the click events return the row and column of the character that has been clicked right? - If so:

I've already thought about this from the beginning on but it seemed hard for me translating the coordinates 0-1 for each Block to character positions. Since would have to search for the offset values and the sizes of the characters in all font sizes and also the character spacing. But I can look into the code of CC 1.45 and maybe get some inspiration.

^^
Update: I've tried different stuff again and the offset is easy it is 2 pixels and there are 16 pixels on 1 block so the offset is 0.125.
Now I'd only need the the exact with/height of a character. I've tried to use the values from term.getSize() but these values are not exact since there only fit 27 chars in one row but there still is some space to the border on the right hand side.

I'm sure that it's possible to find these values somewhere in the code of cc but I'm not talented enough to do so. If anyone knows the with and height of the characters in all cc font sizes please tell me.

So,it's like a smartboard(I have one of those in nearly every class except strings and P.E)?
