Wire FPGA (beta)

Description
Adds a field-programmable gate array for use with Wiremod

Suggest features and report bugs at https://github.com/llysdal/wire-fpga :)

Comes with a visual node editor, and offers a nice step between pure wire gates and E2, but also makes stuff like custom CPUs and other complicated gate devices possible, since the performance hit is several times lower than multiple gates being used to make the same device.

For a more indepth explanation on how the gate executes, there is a "Help" menu in the FPGA editor.


The addon is still in it's infancy, expect frequent updates :)
Stability and backwards compatibility is of high priority to me.

Planned features for the chip include:
-Optimized execution of chips
-Better tools to limit chip abuse (E2 extension that can get chip cpu usage)
-Ability to upload chips bigger than 64kB
-Highspeed functionality (define input ranges and route them to internal highspeed gates)
-More gates - related to CPUs mostly (Low level gates)

Planned features for the editor:
-Improve performance
-More shortcuts (taking suggestions :))
-Undo
-Improved guide on how to use, more example possibly

Can you please add rotation feature in editor mode just like Wiremod when you have pull out the gate tool and keep pressing r to rotate every 45 degrees the chip. This would make more neat and cleaner when we have complex design/circuit board or something.
Thank you!

thank you for fixing it! this mod makes all those cable salads a non issue, its become almost essential for me

mod should be functional again :) there was a minor issue regarding some changes in wirelib which made uploading impossible

technically "works" just cant update chips anymore

no longer works, this was such a simple and easy way to use gates, sad to see the lack of updates

E2 users HATE this for this one simple chip to control all gates.

I'm sad this mod is dead

i now know how to use it :)
(search fpga in the wire section)
Wyrmver 30 Dec, 2022 @ 6:24pm 
how do i use it?

Man, this addon is really cool and useful, but where are the updates??? :e_chip:
