[Direwolf20 1.5 pack] Trying to find an elevator replacement.

[Dex Luther]

In 1.4.7 I found this pretty awesome computercraft program that controlled a multi-floor redpower 2 frame elevator to move around my base (I even 'Wonkafied' it and had it going sideways for certain floors).

Now that I started playing 1.5 I'm trying to find a good elevator replacement so I can plan out the layout of my base before I start too expand out too much.

Features I'm looking for:

Multi-floor - I'd like to stand/walk into an area/block and taken to where I want to go without layover (having to get off one pad and onto another one for each floor).
Computer controlled - I'd like to avoid a wall of switches or buttons to control the floor I go to.
Bi-directional - It goes up and down.
Compact - I don't want to have to set up a whole separate base to power/contain the elevator.
Not railcraft - I like railcraft and all and know it's possible to create an elevator using elevator tracks but that's too single and looks kinda corny.

Is there anything out there? I don't mind installing a new mod if there's a good one. If there's a replacement for frames out there, that would be the best. An alien abduction beam mod would also be pretty awesome.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

While i personally understand how they work 100%, but MFFS3 (Calclavia's) has a version of frames, i suggest you google it ^^
And its already installed in dw20 1.5

There's this work in progress: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/openblocks-wip.26785/

The Drop block directly addresses this problem (rather than coming at it sideways with a kludge). Jump to go up to the next drop block, shift/sneak to go down to the next drop block. I really hope it reaches at least some sort of release/stable state because, for me anyway, it seems a rather obvious inclusion. Especially so with the any shape tanks.

I've seen them. I don't think they are fully implemented in the version we have though. I'm also not quite sure how they will react when a player is standing on them while trying to move vertically. The video I saw of him showing them off the blocks looked like they disappeared as they moved, so I'd imagine the player would fall and get trapped inside and die.

I think its in the dw20 pack and works fine. Calclavia has the best frames live right now.

I'll have to test it. Options are always good, so if anyone else has seen/knows of something.

There was the laser mod that had an alien abduction type thing, but that seems to have fizzled out and died since 1.2.5. Too bad too because there were tons of cool uses for that mod.
