Expression 1 Gate Removed From Tools

[Colonel Thirty Two]

For E1 you can use E2; just don't use applyForce/holos/whatever.

pod controller can be replaced with adv pod controller

They could be merged. Despite what most people think, the adv. pod controller is not a direct upgrade from normal one.

all the wiring tools could be merged (adv wire tool, wire tool, etc), with a tick box to allow the user to decide which they want

Seems good.

the old high poly models could be removed too

Removing models is a bad idea.

There's also a "Kick the bastard out of keyboard" input in the keyboard entity, that's ugly, it need to be renamed with "Kick", but it will brake old dupes.
Old dupes are the reason why all these old tools are still in wiremod. :mellow:

[Azrael]

I think the Adv Dupe should have some sort of backwards compatibility doodah where each Wire entity can automatically update the settings in the dupe to the latest version (eg. when a keyboard is spawned with a 'Kick the bastard out of the keyboard' input wired, change it to the new 'Kick' input and update the dupe file.)

[Grocel]

A kind of it is already in wiremod and used in the forcer entity:
lua/entities/gmod_wire_forcer/init.lua (between line 103 and 116)

function ENT:ApplyDupeInfo(ply, ent, info, GetEntByID)
	--Moves old "A" input to new "Force" input for older saves
	if info.Wires and info.Wires.A then
		info.Wires.Force = info.Wires.A
		info.Wires.A = nil
	end
	
	self.BaseClass.ApplyDupeInfo(self, ply, ent, info, GetEntByID)
end

Too use this in the wire keyboard you need replace the ENT:ApplyDupeInfo function in lua/entities/gmod_wire_keyboard/init.lua (line 19) with this:

function ENT:ApplyDupeInfo(ply, ent, info, GetEntByID)
	if info.Wires and info.Wires["Kick the bastard out of keyboard"] then
		info.Wires.Kick = info.Wires["Kick the bastard out of keyboard"]
		info.Wires["Kick the bastard out of keyboard"] = nil
	end

	self.BaseClass.ApplyDupeInfo(self, ply, ent, info, GetEntByID)

	if (info.pod) then
		local LinkedPod = GetEntByID(info.pod)
		if (!LinkedPod) then
			LinkedPod = ents.GetByIndex(info.pod)
		end
		self:LinkPod(LinkedPod, true)
	end
end

1 thing: could you make it so that theres a console command to re add it , just for challenges and stuff :3

lulz. Would be neat, but kinda..counter-productive.

I'd rather see a command to get rid of advanced E2 functions like applyDirectlytotheforehead. Don't get me wrong, it has a place (somewhere), but applyForjob, holograms, stuff like that, it's kind of a monstrosity. People make cars with applyYourself, tank treads with holo...

It's a little unrealistic. I think some of the advanced E2 functions should be taken out. An E2 chip alone can make an entire contraption, which isn't realistic. I want a console command to strip down E2s to function as E1s with E2 syntax. no applyForks or any of that shit (can leave in like the GPS tool, viewer coords, stuff that's more mundane).
I don't miss E1 at all--I use E2 as most people used E1, to handle advanced arithmatic operations. And I agree with the idea to have low-poly only chips.

You don't need a command to disable those functions... If you don't want them, don't use them.

HERESY!!

and GG devs. you figured out how to make the file bigger while "removing" something.
i thought the whole thing was to remove it completely. not patch it to make it completely inoperable while leaving trash files behind.
