Re: [Mod] Mesecons (= redstone) [GitHub] [minetest-mod-mesec

Thanks for notifying me, Wuzzy. Since this is not very urgent, I have created a GitHub Issue to discuss this topic. Do you happen to know what the difference between the old and new fire sounds even is?

Re: [Mod] Mesecons (= redstone) [GitHub] [minetest-mod-mesec

You don't need to rename it, mesecons is not just a mod, but a "modpack", so you can name it whatever you want. Just place it in the "mods" folder and you should be good. If you still feel like renaming it, I usually just call it "minetest-mod-mesecons".

Re: [Mod] Mesecons (= redstone) [GitHub] [minetest-mod-mesec

Use "mesecons_switch:mesecon_switch_off" instead of "mesecons_switch:mesecon_switch".

Re: Mesecons and use switch to activate Micro-controller

port is for output, pin is for input. Don't use port.a == true, use pin.a == true instead. Also see Chapter II over here: http://mesecons.net/luacontroller/

A shorter way to write your code would be:

Code: Select all

port.b = pin.a
port.d = pin.a

Re: Minetest on a spherical planet

Minetest on a spherical planet

The title says Minecraft (because that is the more commonly known game and the math applies to both games), but this is acutally...

Re: [Mod] Mesecons (= redstone) [GitHub] [minetest-mod-mesec

Announcement:
From now on use the RIGHT mouse button instead of the left one to toggle switches and levers and to press buttons. This change was made so that you can't accidentally toggle a switch/button/lever while digging it (or dig it while you only want to toggle it).

For the custom signal toggle delay: Have a look at the Luacontroller documentation , specifically the interrupt() function.

12Me21, if you want to allow mesecons to be placed at the ceiling and on the floor, you might want to install the wire mod by Novatux. It is not in the main mesecons mod since it seriously slows down game initialization. https://github.com/Novatux/wires https://camo.githubusercontent.com/8f9ead9d0ac...

It will improve any mods that do the kind of node manipulation that mesecons does: Update not very many nodes, but possibly at places far away from the player. It won't improve worldedit or anything like that though. Mesecons is actually very performant on the server side, but the client just doesn'...

I sometimes (quite often) hear people complaining how mesecons performance is bad compared to redstone.

Hi davegoopot, I'd then recommend you to edit the mesecons_luacontroller/init.lua file yourself to add minetest.chat_send_all to the safe commands.

You could just use the command block instead of the luacontroller for that purpose.
If you want to send something to everyone, just use
say [TEXT]
and if you want send something to just one person, use
tell [PERSON] [TEXT]

Noone used it, few support and I was missing new Windows builds. Now that minetest has this ingame Modstore, I don't feel like this is still necessary. I abandoned the project for now, but you can have the code if you want to continue it.

This is definitely not the right place to ask, JoshMars.
You should ask that in the IRC or in some topic in Modding General. You will propably need to iterate through a list of all players and calculate their distances to your position manually.
