Jonathan Riendeau Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hello all, i've been checking on the RedPower2 recipe list to see what this mod brings and i found this: "Arranging 8 vertically sliced blockpieces in this pattern will give you 8 hollow pieces of the same thickness. Those are used if you want tubes or a jacketed wire to go through a wall without leaving a big gap." ¸ -http://nemesis.evalq.net/RedPower2/recipes.html#block_cut_triplecover And i tried, but it doesn't work. Could someone help me? (Not making it, but passing pipes and wires through it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it might be good to better describe exactly what you tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Riendeau Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've tried to place it after putting the block, before and even try to make an hollow block with a pipe or a wire in the crafting. When i try to put it after it's just like if i couldn't (invisible). I'll try to send a screenshot if i can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Riendeau Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Never mind... found my mistake. I was trying to place Transport Pipes in it... And those aren't compatible with hollow block --" Thank you for answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabius Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Do the hollow blocks work with Fibre Cable? Also it would be really nice if tubes where compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torezu Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Do the hollow blocks work with Fibre Cable? Also it would be really nice if tubes where compatible. Cables from IC2 are not compatible with hollow blocks, no. Tubes are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3200sprint Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Quote from Eloraam's EAQ's: “Make cover plates work on X other mod”. It’s impossible. It’s not a matter of adding cover plates to another block type, but making a block type work inside cover plates. Covers require a huge amount of code, including a lot of custom rendering, and any blocks that use them have to be written, from the ground up, to make use of them. Anything using them would require RedPower Core to function, even if it was possible. So just use the RedPower equivalents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaStyle Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Cables from IC2 can however be covered by Construction Foam which hardens into CFWall which si them paintable. I love CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korialstrasz Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Cables from IC2 can however be covered by Construction Foam which hardens into CFWall which si them paintable. I love CF. Its working ok when the cables are touching a block, then you can spray the foam "onto" the block behind it. But is there an easy way to cover "floating" cables (So not touching a block) with CF or do i have to spray that stuff everywhere and hope it covers it?

Use scaffolding to better control were your construction foam goes. The scaffolds will pop off after being replaced by foam. And yes, you need to place the cable first and then spray it with foam.

NinjaStyle Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Well scaffolding is useful for making walls but I would say just place a block next to the cable and use individual CF blocks to cover it. Just place it on the block so it covers the cable. C = Cable B = Block Y = You Y CB so you're looking at two blocks with the cable first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
