# Tube Library 2 [tubelib2]
|
|
|
|
A library for mods which need connecting tubes / pipes / cables or similar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This mod is not useful for its own. It does not even have any nodes.
|
|
It only comes with a few test nodes to play around with the tubing algorithm.

## Description
|
|
|
|
Tubelib2 distinguished two kinds of nodes:
|
|
- primary nodes are tube like nodes (pipes, cables, ...)
|
|
- secondary nodes are all kind of nodes, which can be connected by means of primary nodes
|
|
|
|
Tubelib2 specific 6D directions (1 = North, 2 = East, 3 = South, 4 = West, 5 = Down, 6 = Up)
|
|
|
|
All 6D dirs are the view from the node to the outer side
|
|
Tubes are based on two node types, "angled" and "straight" tubes.

|
|
|
All other nodes are build by means of axis/rotation variants based on param2
|
|
(paramtype2 == "facedir").
|
|
|
|
The 3 free MSB bits of param2 of tube nodes are used to store the number of connections (0..2).
|
|
|
|
The data of the peer head tube are stored in memory 'self.connCache'
|
|
|
|
Tubelib2 provides an update mechanism for connected "secondary" nodes. A callback function
|
|
func(node, pos, out_dir, peer_pos, peer_in_dir) will be called for every change on the connected tubes.
