Actualizations all across the board... more or less XD

Ok, so first: Buildcraft is now on version 2.23, but about 90% of the changes between this version and 2.22 are SMP fixes.

Second, new version of the teleporting pipes, and they now include a redstone pipe (the distribution pipe is no longer red, but now black). This redstone pipe, from what I looked in the forum, seems to NOT be a revision of Eloraam's, but a new one, daughter of the orginal redstone pipe and the telepoting pipes (in short, it seems to give a signal in a frequency). So now we seem to have 4 "channels" in the Teleporting pipes mod: items, liquids, power and detection. Add the fifth channel that would be Wireless Redstone... And in a big server I foresee more "radiation" from wireless signals than on Mercury's surface during a solar storm ^^.

Will check, anyway, and suggest a new pipe for more lazy people (like me): a teleporting Wooden-sucking pipe. In essence, you put this pipe under (or at any side) of a chest (let's call these ones "sending pipes"), then in other chest/pipe system you put another (let's call this the "receiving pipe"). Then you set a number of items inside the GUI of the pipe (which would be the same as the Advanced wooden pipe), apply a BC engine to this, and see how the receiving pipe takes the required items from all chests connected to a sending pipe!

Edit: I checked, got a world crash, but it seems like nothing went wrong in the end (I had a whole backup of the game, anyway xD). The new Redstone Pipe is, at the end, the one from Eloraam, actualized to 1.8.1 (sadly, it doesn't seem to emit redstone power, ot at least I wasn't able to find an item that would receive the current, so it seems like it will only light up, at least for now :S).

There is also a new functionality, the F9 key will show (on the sky) a blue grid not much different to one you can make with Buildcraft, a marker and some redstone power. This grid marks the chunks in the game. This is important if you use Fraps, because I think the default key for recording is F9... Anyway, I actualized my Fraps version and now it seems like I can record videos with audio without crashing the game. Sadly, more than 3.95 Gb (about 6 minutes or so in Minecraft) and I get more than one video... Oh, well.

Finally, in this ecclectic collection of ramblings I'll advice you to check a youtube channel if you want to see some stuff about Industrialcraft 2: Direwolf20's channel is quite interesting. I'll add it to the sidebar.

See ya!
