Feed The Beast Wiki:Crafting grid overhaul project

Welcome to the Template documentation project.

Warning

The new system will not be backwards compatible, old crafting grids will be automatically converted to the new crafting grids. You are safe to continue to use the current system but please do not modify the old grid templates.

Goals

• Remove the animation frames limit
• Introduce oreDict support.
• Increase the implementation of stuff that grids support.
• Improve the readability of templates in articles.
• Ease the creation of crafting grid templates.
• ...and more...

Prototypes

Future code example

Single crafting grids

This is what the code to create single crafting grids will look like in the future.

{{Furnace
 |I={{G|Oak Wood}}
 |O={{G|Charcoal}}
 |F={{G|Oak Wood Planks|tooltiptext=$1<br><span class="tcAspectTooltipDesc">Can smelt 1.5 items.</span>}}
}}

Code Explanation

• Line 1: No more Grid/ prefix in front of crafting grid templates.
• Line 2-4: Instead of providing a list of items to the crafting grid template, you give it a list of grids that can be fully customized. A redirect will be made for less typing (G->Grid).
• {{G|Oak Wood}} and {{G|Oak Wood Planks|...}}: A animation will display ore dict compatible items.
• {{G|Oak Wood Planks|tooltiptext=$1<br><span class="tcAspectTooltipDesc">Can smelt 1.5 items.</span>}}: Demonstrates that grids in crafting grids can be fully customized. And that tooltips will support variables.

Multiple crafting grids

This is what the code to create multiple crafting grids will look like in the future. Instead of flipping through animations automatically by the script, the user must flip through them manually with the controls provided.

{{Furnace
 |I={{G|Oak Wood|16}}{{G|Clay|9}}
 |O={{G|Charcoal|16}}{{G|Brick|9}}
 |F={{G|Charcoal|2|tooltiptext=Charcoal<br><span class="tcAspectTooltipDesc">Can smelt 8 items.</span>}}{{G|Oak Wood Planks|6|tooltiptext=$1<br><span class="tcAspectTooltipDesc">Can smelt 1.5 items.</span>}}
}}

Crafting grid creation

This is an example of how crafting grids will be created in the future. Ideally, templates used here should be substituted to allow for shallower expansion depth, however, by not substituting the templates you increase the maintainability of these crafting grids.

{{Crafting grid/Start}}
{{Crafting grid/Image|Link to image|style=Additional styles|class=Additional classes}}
{{Crafting grid/Cell|{{{1|{{{A1}}} }}}|X position|Y position|style=Additional styles|class=Additional classes}}
...
{{Crafting grid/Cell|{{{9|{{{C3}}} }}}|X position|Y position|style=Additional styles|class=Additional classes}}
...
{{Crafting grid/Tank|{{{liquid}}}|X position|Y position|style=Additional styles|class=Additional classes}}
{{Crafting grid/End}}
