Wire 2

[Black Phoenix]

And how about the CPU?[/b]

I'm going to port it under wire2, probably with some/lots of improvements. Probably it will be the CPU V3.

Also Erkle, what about current hi-speed links system? It allows to read "memory" of a device by linking to it, will we be able to do this in Wire2?

[Erkle]

Wire 2 should be able to do anything Wiremod can do and there will be a chip that can link a Wire 2 circuit to a Wiremod circuit so that you don't have to wait for things to be ported.

ICs are built by placing a blank PCB, building a circuit on it with normal chips, right-click on it with the PCB tool and either shift-click(sprint+fire) to place it as an IC or add it to the chip tools list and use that to spawn it. You include ports by adding port chips to the PCB, their name and location is used to place the actual ports when it is spawned as an IC.

The SVN will be at the same address except \wire2 instead of \wiremod. It checks out into addons\wire2 instead of just addons so it won't conflict with the current SVN.

I will most likely be adding rotate and snap to the chip tool. I'm thinking of making it so shift-clicking places using rotate and snap and normal clicking places instantly but using the previous rotation.

To hopefully answer everybodies coding questions, but mostly likely create more, here's an 8 port and gate scomponent:

SCMP.Group = "Logic"
SCMP.Name = "And (All)"

function SCMP:Init()
****Wire2Lib.AddPort(self, 'Value', WT_BOOL, WD_OUT, 26, 0, self.CalculateResult)

****for y=0,3 do
********for x=0,1 do
************local name = string.char(string.byte('A') + x*4 + y)
************self.Inputs, Wire2Lib.AddPort(self, name, WT_BOOL, WD_IN, -26 + x*16, -24 + y*16, nil, true))
************Wire2Lib.SetDepends(self, name, self.Ports.Value)
********end
****end
end


function SCMP:CalculateResult(port, cache)
****for _,p in pairs(self.Inputs) do
********if (!Wire2Lib.GetValue(p, cache)) then return false end
****end

****return true
end

and the constant value:

SCMP.Group = "I/O"
SCMP.Name = "Constant"

if (CLIENT) then
****CreateClientConVar("scmp_constant_value", "0", true, true)
end


function SCMP:Init()
****Wire2Lib.AddPort(self, 'Value', WT_NUMBER, WD_OUT, 26, 0, self.GetValue)
end

function SCMP:Setup(ply)
****self.Value = ply:GetInfoNum("scmp_constant_value")
end


function SCMP:Save(save, dest)
****save(self.Value, dest)
end

function SCMP:Load(load, src)
****self.Value = load(src)
end


function SCMP:GetValue()
****return self.Value
end


function SCMP.BuildCPanel(panel)
****panel:AddControl("Slider", {
********Label = "Value:",
********Type = "Float",
********Min = "-10",
********Max = "10",
********Command = "scmp_constant_value"
****})
end

I'll be adding full type support to that last one soon. The interface is only 90% final at the moment but it shouldn't change too much.

Seems fairly self-explanatory there Erkle, thanks for the that! I assume there's a WD_BIDIR flag or something to that effect?

Also, Black Phoenix, what are these CPU improvements of which you speak?

Um... You forgot about THIS !

Did I?

Hehe NICE!!!

[ph0enixxx]

Any chance it will be available tomorrow? Me and some friends are getting together to play some gmod, and it would be nice if it was ready before then

The SVN will be at the same address except \wire2 instead of \wiremod. It checks out into addons\wire2 instead of just addons so it won't conflict with the current SVN.[/b]

So do we have BOTH wire 2 AND wire 1 installed?

If not, then having 2 SVN's isn't too good - shouldnt all efforts be transferred to wire 2?

[GotenXiao]

This is why Gmod10 needs a way to temporarily disable addons (i.e. by renaming it *.disabled).You could have both installed but only one in use.

However, Wire2 uses an entirely new API as far as I can see, so having them both installed simultaneously wouldn't have any problems.
