PIPES NO LONGER LOAD CHUNKS. THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE OF THE HACKISH WAY I WAS HAVING TO DO IT FROM NOT RECEIVING BREAK/PLACE EVENTS. YOU HAVE TO USE THE CHUNK LOADING BLOCKS. RECIPE IS 4 IRON INGOTS SHAPELESS. ALSO THE LINES NOW SHOW A RED BOX IN THE MIDDLE TO EMPHASIZE LOADED CHUNKS, AND THEY ARE NOW UPDATED CORRECTLY WHEN TURNED OFF (NO NEED TO LOG OFF/RESTART ANYMORE)

Why did you make this?:
This mod adds two new pipes. The TeleportPipe (items) and the OilTeleportPipe(Liquids). I made this mod for the same reason I will ever make most mods: necessity. My computer sucks and 500 stone pipes carrying items = lots of lag. Using a telelporting pipe I can get the items there instantly and have virtually no lag.

Changes:

Pipe Descriptions:

Spoiler:

1. Item, Liquid, Power Teleport Pipes
These pipes do as the names imply and teleport items/liquids/power to there respective receiving pipes

2. Distribution Pipe
This pipe will evenly distribute the items sent to it to every possible output

3. Advanced Wooden Pipe
Using the GUI for this pipe you can set it to only take out certain items, or to leave only certain items in the inventory it is pulling from.

4. Advanced Insertion Pipe
When this pipe is connected to a chest it (and the chest can accept items) the item will be shot into the chest faster then light. It does this to prevent items from popping out when 2 items try to fill a chests 1 open slot.

How do I use these crazy things??:

Spoiler:

Simple. Right-Click (without a pipe in hand) to open this GUI:




As you can see the pipe has a frequency, This is key, and there are 10000 of them. A pipe can only communicate with other pipes on the same frequency. If there are other pipes on this frequency when an item enters the pipe it will try to send it to that pipe. However there are a few reasons for it to fail: No receiving pipe (discussed below), or there are no valid pipes connected to the receiving pipes. If these conditions are met it will randomly pick a valid receiving pipe, then randomly pick a valid pipe/container connected to that pipe to send the item. Please do not use frequency 0 as it is the default and you can end up with results you don't want when trying to set up new pipes!


As you can also see there is a "Can Receive: " thing there. Simply put that means "Can this pipe receive (items/oil)?", using this you can make multiple "send" pipes and one "receive" pipe (useful for sorting areas/quarry's). To change this status click "Switch".

Newly added is the "Owner" section. This tells you who currently owns the pipe. In SMP this is the only person (except for ops) who can destroy/edit the pipe.

LOL AT YOUR GUI:
Feel free to not use the mod/make a new gui (and a copy with a suggested button/text layout) and I will implement it

What does this "ChunkLoader" do??:
What this does is every time you place(or see an existing) teleport pipe it will add the chunk that the pipe is in to my "ForceLoad" list. This functions differently in SSP and SMP. When you break the pipe that chunk is released.

SSP: In SSP it will load all the chunks that you have pipes in (and a few around those so systems don't break). In SSP chunks stay loaded until you exit.

SMP: In SMP it will load all the chunks that you have pipes in (same as SSP), however when someone leaves the threshold of that chunk and that chunk is unloaded, it will force it to reload and stay loaded.

Yea BuildCraft (and it's requirements) are required for this mod as all it does is add two pipes

*facepalm*

Nobody could ever repost BuildCraft without 95% of the mod community getting fired up, it would help to get edumacated on the top 10 most popular mods/mod makers.

Odd, according to MCP that class/field has to do with Stats, I will look into it however. As you can see in the screenshot I use both pipes continuously and have not had a problem yet (reloaded that world a ton of times). Maybe try again? (Bad save?)

[Direwolf20]

AWESOME Idea man, I was really hoping something like this would come along.   I'm going to play with it tonight, and if it works, I'll feature it on my Lets Play series.  Moving oil long distances sucks

[Kyyshrrk]

Just a suggestion, even if the install instructions are predictable(given that people that would be interested in this mod most likely would know about BC and it's add-ons) you should still include them.

I'm guessing it's something like:
-install modloader
-install BuildCraft
-Put the zip file in the .minecraft/mods

That reminds me that it would also be a good idea to say which line of BC it's compatible with given that there's 3 official forks at the moment.

[TheModerGuy]

what program do you use to make the textures?

[rahmat2222]

thanks very much
work for me

[Chromethous]

I have a slow crappy computer as well. I may have to pick this up, though luckily in my current world I have a medium Oil bubble 20 blocks from my spawn.

Sometimes having that ultra long Pipe network is just satisfying to look at.

The other thing these pipes let you do is not have to re-arrange your machines to fit the pipes in. just have to remember frequencies.

One question: Are the frequencies isolated? I use Wireless redstone as well and it has frequencies, I don't know how that works but just wondering.

[ben2150]

This rocks, I hope you keep working on the mod for future updates. :-)
