OpenComputers Integration

OpenComputers (commonly called OC) is a mod that allows the user to use in-game computers to control/show information about other blocks/machines. NTM has built-in integration with OC, allowing for players to access/control many components of the mod with ease and automation. You will sometimes see this integration referred to as OC-NTM integration/compatibility.

Setup

Connecting a NTM machine/block to an OpenComputers system can be done by using OC cables to connect the OC system directly to the block/machine (without using an adapter).

Getting the values from the components is not as easy as it may seem. Every compatible machine/block from NTM, when connected to an OpenComputers network, will be given a unique component address that can be used to call that block in code. These addresses can be seen by typing components into the OpenOS shell (or whatever shell the OS you are using has). Additionally, you can use an Analyzer to see the address by shift-clicking a block/machine, and copy the address by ctrl-shift-clicking it.

Unlocalized Names

NTM returns unlocalized names when getting fluid types through OC, meaning they sometimes will not have the same name as the name shown in-game. A table for finding unlocalized names and IDs for fluids can be found on this page.

Basic Terminology

• integer: A whole number value.
• float: A decimal value with 7 decimal places of precision.
• double: A decimal value with 16 decimal places of precision.
• number: OC uses this term to describe any number value, regardless of decimals. Always an integer unless specified.
• string: A sequence or string of characters.
• boolean: A true or false value.
• nil: No value.
• table: An array of values with the first value being at index 1.
• list: Similar to a table, however the elements of the list are separated. Ex: a, b, c = foo()
