Resource Distribution 2

This is a rewrite of the Resource Distribution addon by Shanjaq.

Changes:

Speed improvements (like 200% faster)
Extremely low network traffic when using new overlay methods (see LS2)
No cutoff valve hax
New methods for beams (no disappearing ent bugs)
Full compatibility with existing addons that require RD
Lots of stuff I'll list later

New Functions:
See LS2 for how to use these funcitons

RD2_ToolRegister() -- quickly set up an RD2 stool with the fancy control panel selection
RD2_AddStoolItem() -- adds ent to a stool

--Still more that I need to list--

Downlaods:

Zip Version:
Delete all old versions first or you are a moron

Delete all old versions first or you are a moron
Extract to addons

SVN Version: there is no difference with this version, it will always be the same as the ZIP version
If you do not know how to use an SVN, then there is no reason to use this one at all, just get the ZIP version it is the same.

Make a new folder in your addons folder, call it "RD2" and do the checkout to there:
https://svn.wiremod.com/svn/RDistrib2/trunk/RD2/ << New Address! <<
User/Pass (if asked): anonsvn/anonsvn

DO NOT upload dumps of this SVN, there is no point, it will be at most the same as the current ZIP version.

What's Next:
I will begin working on SBx and RDx (which every version number it ends up being then) some day after I finish up a lot of other stuff. Don't expect anything anytime soon, nothing will be ready for testing for a very long time.

Ideas for RDx:

Custom defined resource networks
Different types of resources that are not just "liquid though a hose"
Quick and easy base classes for basic entities
new ideas
Move on think processes to RD core instead of each entity via emulated resource generator production (ie. 5 air gens on one net is the same as the air gen formula * 5)
Make core code independent of GMod specific lua as mush as possible to allow for non-GMod uses. Maybe just develop core code outside GMod using standard lua binaries and port for GMod for release.

1. Download TortoiseSVN from here: http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
2. Install it
3. Go to your addons folder and create a folder called lifesupport(if you want to use svn for lifesupport 2 for example)
4. Right click on the folder you created and select SVN Checkout
5. Paste the SVN link in the main post above, into the "URL Repository" box
6. Let the program download all the files
7. ???
8. PROFIT!

You're done, when the team releases an update, just right click on your folder and select SVN Update.

Why are you posting link that is closed (as in private), and is only for RD team?

Yeah, Assembla lacks access control modification to their SVNs.

Leaking of our and my dev SVNs is the quickest way to make the projects become abandoned. It better not happen again.
