Description
This mod is fairly simple, but very valuable. I am aware of some bugs, and all I am aware of are not harmful and do not make any part of the mod unusable.
This mod adds processors for various data types, the primary ones being Float, Boolean, and String. This mod is designed with scripters/coders/developers in mind, but I hope anyone can learn how to use these tools if they so desire. I designed this project with the idea that this is just an advanced version of redstone and data handling, hence the name "Redstone Data". I do hope that you enjoy this little tidbit of a mod, and that it makes your minecraft experience just a little bit more fun.
Key for non scripters/coders/developers:
Float: a number with a decimal (1.0) - decimal does not need to have value, just be present.
Int: a number without a decimal (1)
Boolean: logic - true/false
String: text
Descriptions, Do's, and Dont's:
Seek the Guide Book in-game for more information. This is general and not very specific. (only notes what the book does not properly convey)
DATA TRANFER IS PULL BASED, which means they grab info from the block behind, and store it. this means blocks like processors, take in data, and hold it in themselves. Do not assume they must have data pulled from the front, the blocks do not care and will pull it from any open face.
The Build Tool - A combination of many other utility tools provided by mods like create. my favorite feature is the actual building feature, which involves selecting 2 points, and then swinging the build tool to construct. this feature only works at a distance. (outside players physical reach)
Cables - Transfer a single data type or all data types depending on the cable variation.
Processors - perform operations to determine an output, most have 2 inputs, (the sides) and users should be careful not to mix up how data flows when using these.
Inputs - The Manual Input and Reader are very different, but are very easy to use, and are as friendly as possible.
Outputs - Data Reader only reads STRING data from block below, and the Redstone Output outputs its stored FLOAT as INT redstone output (also only connects to redstone dust)
