Sync Pipes

You can grant permissions to a player using the standard oxide commands. To assign a permission use:

oxide.grant <user or group> <name or steam id> <permission>

The easiest way to get a players steam id is to pull it from the server logs as the player logs in.

So if you wanted to assign a user admin you would use:

oxide.grant user 76491328546245 syncpipes.admin

To assign a permission level you would use:

oxide.grant <user or group> <name or steam id> syncpipes.level.<permissionlevel>

So to grant the same user level2 you would use:

oxide.grant user 76491328546245 syncpipes.level.level2

If you want to remove permissions you just use:

oxide.revoke <user or group> <name or steam id> <permission>

The /p command for creating pipes you already know, but there are a few extra commands that might come in handy

/p r Remove pipes by hitting then with a wooden hammer

/p c Copy the settings and filters from one pipe by hitting it with a wooden hammer and then hit other pipes to apply these settings to it.

/p n Set a name to a container or pipe. This is useful if you have pipes running between two identical containers and you want to tell them apart. Or when you have long pipes want to know what they are for.

/p s Get information on how many pipes you have and how many are running

/p h Bringing up the in game help

The default settings file is as follows:

{ "filterSizes": [ 0, 6, 18, 30, 42 ], "flowRates": [ 1, 5, 10, 30, 50 ], "maxPipeDist": 64.0, "minPipeDist": 2.0, "noDecay": true, "commandPrefix": "p", "hotKey": "p", "updateRate": 2, "xmasLights": false }

This will generated automatically when you run syncPipes for the first time.

This limits the filter slots that pipe has at different upgrade levels. There must be 5 numbers from 0 to 42.

Each number corresponds to the 5 different building materials in the the game from lowest to highest:

Twigs

Wood

Stone

Metal

High Quality

This controls the maximum number of items that the pipe can transport on each cycle. There must be 5 numbers that are greater than 0.

Each number corresponds to the 5 different building materials in the game from lowest to highest grade:

Twigs2. Wood3. Stone4. Metal5. High Quality

The maximum distance that a pipe can go

The minimum distance a pipe can go. If you set this lower than 2 the pipes will stick out of the ends of the containers as they have a minimum length.

The pipe will not decay over time. However if the container at either end decays then the pipe will be removed automatically.

This is the prefix that the player can use to activate syncPipes from the chat menu. By default it is p which the user would use by typing \phowever you can override this is \p is already in use for another mod.

This is the key that is suggested to the user in the binding hint. By default this is p however you can override it if you already suggest binding p to a different command.

This is the delay in seconds between each cycle of moving items through the pipes. The lower you set this the faster the pipes will be but this will cause more lag.

If this is true then a string of lights is attached to the top of each pipe.

In order to use Sync Pipes you will need to be assigned to the syncpipes.user group. If you don't then you will get a "You've not been given permission to user syncPipes" message.

syncpipes.admin gives the player admin privileges. They can build as many pipes as they like and upgrade to any level. It also allow them to build and open pipes even in range of an unauthorised TC. (syncpipes.user is not required if you are an admin).

These are optional levels you can set to control how many pipes and what grade players can upgrade their pipes to. There is not limit to the number of these additional levels you can have

These are added at the bottom of the config file after xmasLights

{ ... "xmasLights": false, "permLevels": { // "newLevel":{ // "upgradeLimit": 0 - twigs, 1 - Wood, 2 - stone, 3 - metal, 4 - high quality, -1 - unlimited (high quality) // "pipeLimit": -1 - unlimited, or the number of pipes that can be built // }, "level1": { "upgradeLimit": 1, // This allows pipes to be upgraded to wood. "pipeLimit": 25 // This allows the player a maximum of 25 pipes. }, "level2": { "upgradeLimit": -1, // This allows pipes to be upgraded all the way to high quality metal. "pipeLimit": -1 // This allows the player to build an unlimited number of pipes. } } }
