GTNH LOTR NEI

GTNH NEI LOTR v1.0.7

New

• Added working NEI + recipe transfer support for LOTR crafting stations with real inventory GUIs.

• Added automatic ingredient transfer for:

  • Middle-earth faction crafting tables
  • Hobbit Ovens
  • Alloy Forges
  • Orc and Uruk Forges
  • Dwarven Forges
  • Elven Forges

• Reworked supported NEI workstation layouts to use the actual LOTR GUI slot positions, allowing recipe ingredients to line up correctly with their physical machine slots.

• Reused LOTR's own workstation GUI assets and geometry where possible instead of maintaining separate approximations.

• Added parallel-lane ingredient distribution for Hobbit Ovens and Forges:

  • Hobbit Oven ingredients are distributed across available cooking lanes.
  • Forge recipes are distributed across available forge columns.
  • Uneven quantities are split as evenly as possible while respecting slot capacity and existing machine contents.

• Two-input alloy recipes now distribute complete ingredient pairs across forge lanes rather than splitting each ingredient independently.

Fixed

• Fixed the NEI + button incorrectly showing "Mismatch crafting grid" for supported LOTR workstations.

• Fixed overlay resolution for the exact runtime LOTR GUI classes used by Hobbit Ovens, faction crafting tables, Alloy Forges, and special Forges.

• Fixed NEI recipe overlays failing to associate displayed ingredients with their actual LOTR container slots.

• Fixed Hobbit Oven transfers placing all available ingredients into a single cooking lane when multiple compatible lanes were available.

• Fixed Forge transfers using only the first compatible forge column instead of taking advantage of parallel processing.

• Fixed Forge ingredient ordering to match LOTR's actual alloy-smelting behavior:

  • Primary ingredient uses the lower slot.
  • Alloy ingredient uses the corresponding upper slot.

• Fixed single-input Forge recipes potentially interacting with occupied upper alloy slots.

• Prevented NEI transfers from targeting workstation output or fuel slots.

• Preserved occupied or incompatible processing lanes instead of clearing unrelated machine contents during recipe transfer.

• Fixed Hobbit Oven recipe pagination so multiple visible recipes can correctly render separators between entries.

Compatibility

• Faction crafting recipes continue to preserve their exact shaped layout, including empty cells, repeated ingredients, and alternate ingredient variants.
• Ore Dictionary recipe alternatives remain supported during automatic transfer.
• Kebab Stands and Ent Jars remain display-only because they do not expose normal player-populatable container GUIs.
• Existing vanilla NEI recipe-transfer behavior is unchanged.

Developer

• Added exact LOTR GUI/category overlay resolution instead of relying on generic NEI overlay lookup.

• Added LotrIdentityStackPositioner for recipe categories whose displayed coordinates now directly match LOTR's physical GUI slot geometry.

• Hobbit Oven transfer uses physical inputs 0–8, paired outputs 9–17, and excludes fuel slot 18.

• Forge transfer uses four processing lanes:

  • Upper inputs 0–3
  • Lower inputs 4–7
  • Outputs 8–11
  • Fuel slot 12

• Parallel transfer logic now balances available recipe operations across eligible lanes while respecting existing stack amounts, slot limits, output compatibility, and paired alloy requirements.

• Removed the need for coordinate translation between custom NEI workstation layouts and the corresponding LOTR GUIs where the original LOTR geometry is now used directly.
