Glow Rods #11

Open aidancbrady opened 9 years ago

aidancbrady commented 9 years ago

The final element of the "Great Greylocke Gas Request." These would be cool.

TL;DR: Glow Rods: 2 panes of glass, 1 Plastick and a glowstone dust makes 2 glowing tubes. Similar to modern fluorescent tubes, Glow Rods emit the same amount of light as a torch but look so much cooler. Recraft 4 Rods with a dye and add some color to your lighting fixures. They mount on a wall, ceiling or floor. Use a wrench to rotate the tube’s orientation. Rods placed next to each other will join.

Huh I take it then the VGT is no more huh?

aidancbrady commented 8 years ago

In order to narrow down the amount of v9 content I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cut this out. Perhaps I'll implement something similar in the future.

flips tables

The issue is that I can't make good-looking models for the life of me and I don't know anyone willing to make one. If someone would be willing to make me a couple glow rod assets I could definitely make some things happen :)

Greylocke commented 8 years ago

omg, is that all? I'm sure I can line someone up to make models.

Based upon how you think it'd work, can you explain what models would be required? It has to connect to the tubes in adjacent blocks, so is there just one full-block-wide tube? Or one half-block wide tube that then gets rotated and added according procedurally, or ... ?

Just curious if this ever happened?

aidancbrady commented 4 years ago

Mekanism needs new cool lighting stuff. Re-opening this for v10. Modelers needed :)
