using openperipheral or miscperipheral modem to read warded jar contents

[Azurl]

is that possible? I have bound a transvector interface to a jar, the essentia symbol shows up on the transvector interface, is there wa way to hook up a modem or computer to the transvector interface and get the name of the essentia and the amount?

you can read a warded jars aspects as a peripheral with a periproxy+modem(or adjacent computer), but i dont believe that the transvector interface exposes a blocks peripheral methods.
EDIT:

You are in luck as the documentation says that you should be able to use the p.getAspects() method to get a list of all the aspects in the jar (will only be one tho) then use p.getAspectCount(SomeAspectName) to get the number.

sadly, peripheral proxy did not work the reason why i wanted to use the transvector interface was to hide away the computer stuff from the magic room. but seems the only way is to hook a computer directly to the jar. the essentia symbol showed up on the transvector interfave when i bound them, it's a shame it doesn't interact in the same manner with a computer

You could use the computers as the blocks on which the jars sit, so they look like part of the floor.

In the version i have using a modem + transvector interface worked somewhat. i knocked up a simple script that produces a table of aspects and quantities. However there seems to be a bug at the moment where an empty jar will kill the program if you try to get its aspect. Script.
A work around for the bug would be to have hardcoded aspects and to never call the getAspects method a jar, or calling a second program to do check for aspects and if it crashes it just returns to the main program.

EDIT: fixed version http://pastebin.com/T8hVpm6z

that seems awesome, I hope they fix that bug soon. which modpack are you using? I tried listing all methods available with the transvector interface, but i could only get the standard tank, and energy etc commands.

I will try your script the next time I get into it.

your code doesn't work for me. the variable modem is never used. and the devices it gets from peripheral.getNames() is only modem, and peripheral.

oops i left in the modem peripheral from testing. It very may be that the version in whatever pack you are using is from before the methods were added. i use a custom pack for the private server i play on using TT version 2.0-47

 

[Azurl]

aye, we use 2.0-44, so it would explain why it doesn't work for me

 

[Azurl]

seems the support for transvector interfaces were added in version 45. hopefully it will come with the next pack update.

Update: I now have the update that allows me to read jars with computers. and even through transvector interfaces.
but the modems won't connect through the peripheral proxies. right clicking the modem does nothing and the code returns no devices when looking through the network.
