Current Version: [0.5]

Project_Logic strives to add more functionality to the wiring side of Terraria.
This includes extra wires, Noteblocks, Delayers, Pistons, Radio links, enemy spawn controllers/disablers, and many more small but useful devices.

This mod is currently only available through the tModLoader Mod Browser.

-Major internal overhaul on the wiring and pulse systems. It's better than vanilla... I mean, it was already, but now it is even better.

The base for all wire components.
Bought from the mechanic.
ModWireKite.png

A upgraded version of the vanilla Grand Design. This one can be used to place all 8 mod wire colors and the actuators. More things will be added later.
You can also toggle placement settings using the number keys but only while the right click menu is open.
This is crafted from a vanilla Grand Design and 100 Basic Wire Components at a Tinkerer's Workbench.

A customizable sound tile.
Plays it's sound when activated by wire.
Right click to go up by one semitone.
Shift right click to go up an octave.
Control right click to change track/play-style (Indev)
Hit with a hammer to go down one semitone.
Craftable from Basic Wire Components when standing by any Music Box and Tinkerer's Workbench.

After being hit by a wire, it will count down. Once it hits zero, it activates all wires surrounding it except for the direction opposite of where it's pointing.
Available tick delays are for value of 2^x up to 128 ticks.
Right click to change facing direction.
Placing one by another one will automatically change it to the direction of the one it's touching.
Craftable from Basic Wire Components when standing by any Timer and a Tinkerer's Workbench.
RadioLink.png

An efficient way to transmit wire signals over a long distance and to multiple sources.
Right click to toggle between Transmit, Receiver, and Bidirectional modes.
Transmitters send to all wires of the same color on all receivers in the world. As such, you can have one transmitter send it to multiple places depending on what wire is activated, or you could have multiple transmitters with different wire colors all being received at one receiver and still manage to keep all the signals separate.
Currently only supports the 8 mod wires.
Craftable from Basic Wire Components.

Pistons are able to push and pull tiles in any direction. These are not quite the same as the ones in Minecraft. Right click it to change direction. Extends/Contracts when activated by wire. Different pistons extend different amounts. Copper/tin has a range of 1 tile, lead/iron has 2, silver/tungsten is 3, and gold/platinum is 4. Each piston can only push/pull 10 times it's range in tiles. For example, a copper piston can push and pull a max of 10 tiles and a silver piston can push and pull a max of 30. When it comes to pulling tiles, they will pull all tiles in a straight line in front of the piston arm up to their max. Pistons cannot move tiles with actuators on them. I figured this was a good way to restrict their range without having to use specific tiles.

Due to the fact that they can break multi-tiles as well as change tiles that you should not be able to, These are currently unobtainable legitimately (If you want to mess around with them, just grab some via Cheat Sheet).
SpawnController.png

WARNING: May contain slight traces of cheating!
Right click or activate with a wire to toggle enemy NPC spawns on and off.
There are a few event spawns that this does not toggle like from the Raining Slime event. Working on it.
Crafted with 100 Souls of Light, Night, Flight, Sight, Might, Fright, and 1000 Basic Wire Components.
Activates all wires on the tile that aren't the color that activated it.
(Currently Unobtainable)

-Allow for custom noteblock support so other mods can add there own note sounds
-Rework Terraria.Wiring to become more mod-friendly (then probably move this to a core mod)
-Special inventory slots for wire components (similar to ammo slots)

-Make wire's fully multiplayer compatible
-Make SpawnController multiplayer compatible
-Make wire render correctly when upside-down

This is a list of things that I have considered adding but decided not to or at least not now. This is mostly because they would either require new subsystems to be added, or because they would only have one use.
If you see something on this list that you would like to see added, leave a comment and tell me what as well as let me know what uses it would have.

-Counter blocks (count wires hits and stackable)
-Team tiles which only that team can interact with. This includes pressure plates, levers, blocks(only minable by that team), and possibly even zones (this one would probably wind up being moved to another mod instead)
-Diagonal wires(Unlikely)
-Sub-tile wiring(Unlikely)
-Pipes (There are already pumps)
-Ropes, pulleys, and moving platforms
-Turrets

Feel free to post any ideas for things you would like to see added or, if you paranoid about people stealing your ideas, private message me them either via this forum or on discord, my username is Rartrin.
 
Maybe like a mini telpeporter that could act like a waypoint device with a recipe like 50 basic componets 1 magic/ice mirror at a teleporter or something i say this because i have seen only 1 mod with a waypoint and i dont like it ps good luck on the modding
 
Noteblocks, pistons and other crazy mechanics?
Do sign me in.
As far as extra mechanics go, maybe dispensers (inventory space that shoots out items or projectiles).
 
May I suggest an few new ideas?

Turrets - Any Gun, modded as well + 20 Basic Wire Components
(Wired Device) An wire-activated turret that, when activated, will fire at targets with damage, fire rate, and effects equal of the gun used to make the Turret. Perfect for farming items. Can be modified for trolling purposes.

Laser Gate/Floor - 30 Lenses + 5 of any gem (for color) + 100 Basic Wire Components + 2 Wire Blocks
(Wired Device) An pair of blocks designed to deal damage to any who come across the lasers. Must be within the same Latitude/Longitude and connected to be turned on. Can be turned on or off.

Side Block Connector - 50 Honey Blocks + 1 Wire Block +50 Basic Wire Components
(Accessory) Allows placement of wired devices to be placed on the sides or bottom of blocks
 
I just want to report that the latest version of tModLoader (0.9.2.2) seems to have broken delayers. The noteblock/delayer creations in my world stopped working (I immediately reverted back to 0.9.2.1 :p)
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Project_Logic will be updated as soon as the mod browser is back online.
 
i change this mods something,then made these
http://www.bilibili.com/video/av8123339/
http://www.bilibili.com/video/av8573700/
i used to put in utb,but not hot,and i still hope u can like this
now i am thinking of fix some trouble in this but the mod has so many bug(or anything?)like the wire not same as normal wire,i cant use mod wire in many normal-wire-block (or something ),and piston has so many bug that i cant say,so i cant use it in the video (as u see i dont use them),if the piston block can be not stick other blocks when it go back,it will more helpfull(or u can made it like mc,two blocks,one can stick,one not)
i reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly want u fix this,and realy want this mod can be better and join in Terraria1.3.5(now tml 0.9.2.3)
and be betttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttter!
hope u like my video, im a chniese ,my English's not good,if u do not understand something,just reply me!
last one!hope u like it!
 
noteblocks in terraria?
thats an 11/10 for me right there if i do say so myself
finally i dont have to get a better graphics card to play noteblock music
 
Wow! I broke the switches and wiring tool after removing a lot of dart traps. I had to restart Terraria and reinstall the mod to get it to work. But that is not my biggest issue, the wires do not work with most activation blocks, timers, presser plates, and tracks. On top of that delayers can produce a feed back loop, don't accidentally do this with the zero one. Next a piston pushing up an extending piston crashes the game.

This is a suggestion, but can you add the original colors to the wiring tool?
 
Sometimes I sound out when loading tModLoader, it breaks switches and your wiring system (Full tModLoader restart required). Next, the radios deactivate once leaving the game and must load the aria to make it work. Pistons do not push horizontally, only vertically.

Recommended items/ blocks
  • P2P (Compresses wires to one with a P2P tunnel)
  • Item conduits (A special wire that can go through blocks)
  • Conveyor belts that move mobs
  • Normal wire behavior (Not XOR, possibly 15 level and 0)
  • Non sticky pistons
  • Diode (One way only)
  • Radio frequencies
  • Ability to place wire in a zigzag (instead of diagonally)
  • Allow wires to fire cannons
  • Handheld transmitter
  • Reverse lamp (Allowing multiple inputs on the gate and output(s) on the lamps)
  • Lock (Prevents signals from passing through while receiving one)
 
I found out how to work with delayers, to prevent repetition, the receiving wires must not connect to the block AND be 90deg from the arrow.

Yes. After taking a little break, I am returning to the mod. So far, I've already rewritten most of my wiring code to be a lot more modular and efficient. My goal now is to have a lot smoother integration with the vanilla. Some tiles in the past were not compatible will my mod wires. Delayers will be changing some, they will now be able to activate the wire in front of them. I also made them so that plugging a delayer into itself shouldn't cause problems with it duplicating the pulse, in other word, if you plug a delayer into itself now, it will loop at the proper interval and not crash/cause a bunch of noise. Eventually, I plan to make a new style of delayer. I still have some things to get nailed done on it before I make any promises about it's functionality. Similarly, I would like to, in the future, add a new noteblock system, one with a GUI and such that would be able to have different sound/pitches depending on what wires hit it. This is also still in the planning phase. The update I've been working on is going to be mostly patching bugs and improving performance, but will path the way for bigger things to come.
 
Eventually, I do plan to. In theory of all of the tile's wire-hit actions already should be multiplayer compatible. The Grand Master Design, the delayers, and the noteblock's sounds are the main thing I will need to fix though.
Oh, that reminds me, I would like to get some original sounds to use for noteblocks, rather then just reusing the minecraft ones (they were originally only meant to be for testing but I couldn't find any better ones so I kept them). If anyone would like assist in making some original sounds to use for them, please contact me. You can contact me here (I check in every couple of days) or, if you use Discord, I'm mostly online there, you can find me on both the official tModLoader Discord server as well as the official unofficial Terraria Discord server.
