I'm not entirely sure how we should expose this, as I'm somewhat reluctant to add an item specifically for it. Could add a sub-command, but it's a little clunky to use.

Maybe it could work like that tool for applied energistics from ae2stuff. I think it's called the Network Visaulizer.

Yes but that would mean the AE2Stuff and by extension AE2 would be needed for computercraft

No, my idea was to make a computercraft network visualizer simmilar to the one from ae2stuff, not use that one.

I'm kinda reluctant to add an item for something that was effectively designed as just a debugging tool, hence this issue being open for so long at all.

Consider adding it to plethora? I know it's not exactly a 'peripheral', but I don't think it's something that really fits into CC:T.

@hugeblank It rather has to be in CC:T, as most of the data it needs isn't exposed in the API (and I'm rather reluctant to expose it right now). Given that this has always been a creative-only item, I'm less worried about fitting in thematically, though it's definitely a valid concern.

I'm going to close this for now. While it was a fun feature in CCTweaks, it was something which started off as a tool for debugging cables, and rather spiralled into a complex behemoth.

I don't seen an immediate need for it, and so it's one rather complicated feature I'm happy to let go of.

If people want to experience the joys of the visualiser, here's the "basic" implementation I wrote when testing the CC:T wired network code: 6ac1c0e. It only works on single player worlds, and is going to stay that way :p.

The main blocker here is working out how to expose this functionality to the end user. Ideas are welcome.

Here is a proposal/Idea: Make a item/command that targets a block and displays little lines that go into/out of the computer. The lines could also be replaced by "Computer [ID]", which would be extra useful. If the message is short, like "received" or "start" then it could display that as well.
