[Feature Request] Fixed combinations

[za3k]

Requesting a config file option to disable changing the combination colors of ender chests and tanks.

Use case: chests aren't craftable, they're quest rewards.

[Ecu]

I suppose I approve this request as a config option. I can definitely see the use-case.

Edit:
Proposed config solution @Chicken-Bones...

"locked_frequencies" : "all"

or

"locked_frequencies" : [ 
    [ "red", "red", "red" ],
    [ "blue", "blue", "blue" ]
]

Using "all" if you want to lock every frequency or a list of frequencies if you want to lock individual ones, but allow others to be usable. This acceptable @vanceza?

[za3k]

Perfect.

I'd suggest locking should prevent changing from those frequencies as well as to them, so people don't get "locked out".

[Chicken-Bones]

Do you need the ability to lock specific frequencies?

[Chicken-Bones]

Also, consider instead the possibility of only filling the chest with the quest rewards on completion via a redstone mechanism

[Ecu]

I think the ability to lock frequencies can be really useful, @Chicken-Bones.

[za3k]

No, it's not required for me to lock specific frequencies. It would be a small bonus because if I don't lock all frequencies, then players can use the standard ender chest / ender tank functionality in their builds.

Redstone's a good idea. Here are the issues:

• It can't support tracking multiple parties completing quests independently, and giving ender storage containers as rewards can.
• How can we activate a remote redstone mechanism only when a quest is complete? HQM doesn't support redstone signals, only item rewards. I'll look into your wireless redstone mod which I haven't used, and see if I can gimmick a "remote control" reward, this may be solvable.

[Chicken-Bones]

Here's an idea: Make your reward chests personal with a special character name and then give out pouches

[za3k]

I'm not actually giving a one-time gift, but a continuous supply from a factory somewhere far off (which is why I'm using an ender chest instead of just giving them stuff directly).

I know the non-mod ender chests didn't support automation or stay linked to a specific character. I didn't realize your new ender pouches could stay linked to a personal chest, that's really neat. Can personal chests/tanks stay associated with one person and hook up to hoppers or pipes? If so, that's a valid workaround, and really exciting besides.

[Will investigate on my own if you don't reply, nothing needs done]

prods @Chicken-Bones

While that is likely a valid work-around. I think in this case, the ability to lock frequencies does have valid use-cases. I really think it should be considered for addition.
