2.0.0-Pre-Release 5 Patch notes

Fixes and Changes

• Moved the G&G config button to the left of Create's button and added it wherever Create shows theirs, including the main menu.
• Fixed Digisable schematic exports saving inside the world folder instead of the instance schematics folder.
• Fixed a crash when placing the Advanced Data Link on a Universal Display Adaptor.
• Optimized ACC Displays and camera feeds with client-side occlusion based rendering for better performance.
• Fixed a bug that caused rendering issues when exiting the Advanced Control Computer while using Shaders and Distant Horizons together.
• Extended the Lua bearing peripheral API to add thruster control parity to the Vector Bearing and Aileron Bearing to match the Servo Bearing.
• Vector Bearing and Aileron Bearing can now be used to auto fuel/power fluid/FE consumers on their head sublevels by providing the base with FE or Fluid to match the Servo Bearing (Texture update with visual indicators for this will be added in a later update).

Worker Pod

• Place a Supporter Mannequin inside it to assign it to the adjacent Advanced Control Computer
• Use the Contraption Network Linker in Worker mode (Green) to assign containers, crafters, and other automation machines to the Worker Graph to allow Workers to interface with and use them.
• Most containers require a Shipping Manifest to be placed on them to tell the Worker what it contains, Smart containers do not.

Advanced Control Computer

• Added the Display Link Input node and made the ACC a Create Display Link target, with independent sender sections and update pulses.
• Fixed Get Data reading Create Display Link text and lines from the current transferred data.
• Fixed hidden node-library hover summaries appearing over the Variables section.
• Fixed HUD Designer dropdowns rendering behind canvas elements and sidebar fields.
• Fixed the PID node's Prevent Integral Windup option to use a boolean switch instead of opening a text editor.
• Fixed client shared graph listing and browser imports while playing on dedicated servers.
• Shared graph names now set the display name and manifests retain author, sharing time, version, and graph statistics.
• Fixed Play Sound node audio remaining behind when its controller moves on a sub-level.
• ACC Display nodes now accept dynamic targets during runtime.
• Fixed wire drag and node drag canvas panning.
• Added Shortcuts reference modal.
• Added Documentation modal with bundled wiki pages and images.
• Added native support for Create: Power Grid to the Get Data and Set Data nodes.
• Added Display Link node when the Advanced Control Computer is set as a Display Target for a Display Link.
• Updated Trigonometry nodes to include a unit selector to switch between Degrees and Radians.
• Added a Convert Angle node to convert between all angle types.
• Added a Convert Unit node to cover converting weights, fluid units, speed units, distance units, and power units (When Create: Power Grid is installed)
• Fixed a bug in the Get Data node when targeting containers, smart containers, and shipping manifests that causeditems to remain empty, and item strings to be malformed.

Smart Battery

• Fully supports Create: Power Grid for storing and extracting power as watts/amps.
• Does internal conversions between FE and Watts.
• Can set the wattage limit and output voltage for each attached Power Grid Device Connector.
• The Transfers tab shows FE/t and live voltage, amperage, and wattage for active Power Grid inputs and outputs.

Ship Control Module

• Updated the Hover node to ignore Y-Level locking and instead just combats gravity by strength percentage.
• Improved SCM schedule pilot traffic coordination, ground takeoff recovery, and live pathfinding around ships and docking platforms.
• Non-Directional Yaw, Pitch, and Roll nodes now support picking between Relative North/Up and Current Vector for more precise control modes.

Ship Dock

• Added configurable spline-based Ship Dock approach and departure lanes, with traffic coordination, safe waiting locations, connector-aligned docking paths, and automated lane assignment.

Camera

• Camera feeds can now be set wirelessly by using an Advanced Data Link on the camera then placing the link on an ACC Display.

Modals and GUIs

• Updated the Documentation and Shortcuts modals to use complete painted textures with uniform scaling that preserves their aspect ratios.
• Updated the Color Picker modal.
• Updated the Linker modal inside the Advanced Control Computer.
• Updated the Share modal inside the Advanced Control Computer.
• Updated the Theme Editor modal inside the Advanced Control Computer.
• Updated the Versions modal inside the Advanced Control Computer.
• Updated the Templates modal inside the Advanced Control Computer.
• Updated the Target Picker modal inside the Advanced Control Computer (The 3D target picker tab still contains some prototype elements that need styling).

New Items and Blocks

• Thruster Dye Applicator:
  • Allows creating thruster plume color and gradient presets.
  • Calculates which dyes and quantities are needed for the current preset.
  • Only consumes the dyes once when saving the preset, that preset can then be applied to any number of thrusters without consuming more resources.
  • Only works with G&G Thrusters.
  • Can be preconfigured when crafting by crafting it with dyes in the recipe (1x Contraption Network Linker, 1x Chest, (OPTIONAL) dyes)

CC:Tweaked Bridge

• New acc:getPeripherals() method for returning a list of linker targets as peripherals.
• New acc:getPeripherals.list() sub-method for returning usable alias names.
  • Usage:

  acc = require("gadgetsandgizmos.acc").find()
  peripherals = acc:getPeripherals()
  left_thruster = peripherals["thruster_0"]
  thruster = peripheral.wrap(left_thruster)
  thruster.throttle(1)
  

Known Issues:

• Worker automation is new and may have some bugs in different packs.
• Smart Tablet is still incomplete and disabled by default.
• ACC Displays are still very early work in progress and have many issues.
• Scissor Piston arm renderer glitches when breaking an arm link while the piston is extending.

Notes:

• New app icons for Digisable, Blockmates, and Manifest are placeholders.
• Textures for the Smart Vault/Tank/Battery are placeholders.
