RFTools (Legacy)

4.42:

• New storage control screen module which allows powerful interaction with a storage network. Here is how it works:
  • Have several modular storage blocks (you can use any kind of inventories but it works most optimally with modular storage)
  • Optionally use filter items and insert them in the storage blocks. That way you can control what kind of items go to what blocks.
  • Have a single storage scanner. In that scanner press scan within a certain range and mark all storage blocks (using the 'star' button) that you want to be accessed through this system.
  • Make a storage control screen module and link it with the scanner (sneak right click on the scanner).
  • Make a screen, make sure it gets power (with a screen controller) and insert the module into it.
  • Open the GUI of the screen module (through the screen) and configure the 9 slots with the item you want to see in that slot (click with the desired item on the slot)
  • Now you can interact with that screen to insert and extract items. With a normal left mouse click on a slot in the screen you can extract a stack of items. If you use sneak left click you extract a single item.
  • Using the 'Insert Stack' slot (left click) you can insert the stack that you're currently holding into the storage system provided that the screen is showing that kind of item. Using the 'Insert All' slot you can insert all items that match an item on that screen into storage. The storage scanner will make sure the items to go an inventory (and if you have supplied those with filters they will be properly sorted as well)
• As stated above this new module works most optimally with modular storage. The reason for that is that modular storage implements a new public IInventoryTracker api. With that api the storage scanner can detect if some inventory has changed. Other mods can also implement this api and make sure their inventory gets handled efficiently as well. Using this system the screen will not have to count the items every second because it knows when the inventory has changed.
• Screens are now easier to place on a wall.
• Screens no longer show their outline as that was a bit ugly.
• The screen API has changed.
