I saw #1264 was closed and marked as fixed, but I gave latest downloads a shot and Bundled Cables + ComputerCraft doesn't seem to be working for me with the most recent versions available on Curse. I wanted to ask if bundled cables should be expected to work with CC currently, or if we'd expect them to need some more work.

I see a commit here that is looking related to fixing bundled cables:

CC'ing https://github.com/SquidDev since mentioned in #1206

I'm new to minecraft modding but might be able to dig into this, any pointers for doing a build and debugging it to see where things might require fixing? I am motivated by a slightly insane pet project I am currently in the middle of converting from MC1.7 to MC1.12, and this is the last big thing that's not working.

Also, is there a canonical or recommended fork of Computercraft currently?

my versions of relevant stuff:

minecraft: 1.12.2
Win10

ComputerCraft1.80pr1.jar    <--- seems to be the only CC with MC12 release, is this the one you guys are working with?

ForgeMultipart-1.12.2-2.4.2.58-universal.jar
MrTJPCore-1.12.2-2.1.2.34-universal.jar
ProjectRed-1.12.2-4.9.0.86-Base.jar
ProjectRed-1.12.2-4.9.0.86-compat.jar
ProjectRed-1.12.2-4.9.0.86-fabrication.jar
ProjectRed-1.12.2-4.9.0.86-integration.jar
ProjectRed-1.12.2-4.9.0.86-lighting.jar
ProjectRed-1.12.2-4.9.0.86-world.jar

Thanks all, both these mods are amazing.

Hmmm. I was using Computeacube, though the underlying api should be the same.

will give that a shot real quick see if it makes a difference, thanks!

ok, with Computeacube mod I did a simpler repro and that seems to be working now, though my other test isn't (which makes me think it's actually now a problem with my lua code), I think it's probably an issue on my end. will diagnose it some more and also figure out if it's a Computeacube-specific thing or if it works with any ComputerCraft mod. thanks

If the cables are visibly connecting, that means the compatibility code is working. The rest is up to your Lua code. I will close this now.

alright, after fiddling for a while I traced it down to my fault with the attachment points to the computercraft computer.

This configuration works:

This config doesn't work (if you crouch with SHIFT and right click the side of the computer with a multi-cable)

This crouch+right click behavior is how computercraft attaches modems to the side of the interface.

So, moral of the story is: don't do that with the bundled cable? Is that by design or a bug?

(*EDIT, fixed the second image)

for clarity sake here's the piece highlighted:

Well, if you put a cable on the side like in the second picture, it’s not even connected to the computer. Try it with a lamp and insulated wire. Same behavior ;)

yea, funny thing I think I had it hooked up the right way originally, then when I couldn't get it to work due to the older version, must've changed it to be this way by mistake, then when upgrading to the new version, I started with it like this. sometimes just how it goes :) Anyway thanks again
