In which way I can add new machine to function check_LV_node_subp in battery box? I ask because I create new mod wich use energy from LV battery box.

by now only manually by adding there your power receiver (or producer)
i need to make an API call to register new machines easily

- added fully functional MV furnace

put RE batteries into upgrade slots to increase internal energy buffer
or put there Control Logic Unit for furnace send cooked items into tubes
Furnace can accept tubes input from any side (but left is recommended)
Output is only to the right.

crafting recipes:

output = 'technic:mv_electric_furnace',
recipe = {
{'technic:stainless_steel_ingot', 'technic:electric_furnace', 'technic:stainless_steel_ingot'},
{'pipeworks:tube_000000', 'technic:mv_transformer', 'pipeworks:tube_000000'},
{'technic:stainless_steel_ingot', 'technic:mv_cable', 'technic:stainless_steel_ingot'},
}

end:
output = 'technic:control_logic_unit',
recipe = {
{'', 'moreores:gold_ingot', ''},
{'moreores:copper_ingot', 'technic:silicon_wafer', 'moreores:copper_ingot'},
{'', 'moreores:copper_ingot', ''},
}

I tried to use the MV furnace, but it looks like it doesn't receive power from the MV cables, battery boxes and solar panels. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: found where the bug comes from: you should add the following at line 320 of battery_box_mv.lua:

Code: Select all

if minetest.env:get_node(pos1).name == "technic:mv_electric_furnace" then     new_node_added=add_new_cable_node(RE_nodes,pos1) end        
if minetest.env:get_node(pos1).name == "technic:mv_electric_furnace_active" then     new_node_added=add_new_cable_node(RE_nodes,pos1) end

It could be even better if you used something in the node definition, so one could easily define new machines and power producers, and the code would be more simpler.

hehe, forgot to update this file

ofc youre right, i will make register function

About the HV tier, you could perhaps make them compatible with filters... It could be useful for taking out items at a high rate.

Suggestion for tube crafting recipes:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craft({
    output = 'pipeworks:accelerator_tube_000000',
    recipe = {
        {'technic:copper_coil', 'pipeworks:tube_000000', 'technic:copper_coil'},
        }
})

minetest.register_craft({
    output = 'pipeworks:detector_tube_off_000000',
    recipe = {
        {'mesecons:mesecon', 'pipeworks:tube_000000', 'mesecons:mesecon'},
        }
})

minetest.register_craft({
    output = 'pipeworks:sand_tube_000000',
    recipe = {
        {'default:sand', 'pipeworks:tube_000000', 'default:sand'},
        }
})

minetest.register_craft({
    output = 'pipeworks:teleport_tube_000000',
    recipe = {
        {'default:mese_crystal', 'default:desert_stone', 'default:mese_crystal'},
        {'default:desert_stone', 'pipeworks:tube_000000', 'default:desert_stone'},
        {'default:mese_crystal', 'default:desert_stone', 'default:mese_crystal'},
        }
})

        {'default:mese_crystal', 'default:desert_stone', 'default:mese_crystal'},
        }
})

Recipes added, with some changes to teleport tube.

Also added Injector.
crafting recipe:
output = 'technic:injector 1',
recipe = {
{'', 'technic:control_logic_unit',''},
{'', 'default:chest',''},
{'', 'pipeworks:tube_000000',''},
}
output: bottom, input from all sides
Use it like a chest, it will put everything stored here into the tubes

Injector is on the left side:

Another setup of injector and furnace, quite nice:

I like that crafting recipe for the accelerator tube - reminds me of a coilgun :-)

Implemented.

To register new power machine please use:

register_LV_machine (node_name,machine_type)
or
register_MV_machine (node_name,machine_type)

where node_name is name of registered machine
machine_type can be "PR" when machine produces energy, "RE" when machine is energy receiver

also metadata of registered machine shall have 3 additional variables defined

for LV machines:
technic_power_machine=1,
internal_EU_buffer=0;
internal_EU_buffer_size=value;

for MV machines
technic_mv_power_machine=1,
internal_EU_buffer=0;
internal_EU_buffer_size=value;

technic_power_machine=1 or technic_MV_power_machine=1 is used by wireing check routines

When I used technic 0.94 I have bug in unified inventory:

Also, I have a more or less working frame code:

Yikes! im testin it right now

WOW !

In creative mode in the latest xyz build of 0.4.4, unified_inventory's inventory menu disappears and never comes back. Instead, I end up having to use the default creative menu.

Please delete folder "creative" from minetest_game
UI replaces its functionality

Nore's frames code merged. I made for it nodeboxed frames.

Thanks. Could you make better textures for the frame motor? Moreover, have you got a way to rotate a frame motor without using 6 different nodes?

im workin on the motor right now
to rotate stuff just use screwdrivers, theyre very handy

ofc i will need to modify its code to support also up/down

I've got an error while generating a map

Code: Select all

ERROR[EmergeThread]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: LuaError: error: ...n\..\mods\minetest\technic-master\technic/rubber.lua:111: attempt to call method 'spawn_tree' (a nil value)

It sounds like it depends on something missing.

Posted: **Thu Feb 07, 2013 14:07**

I go t it too - you need to get latest version of minetest from git

Posted: **Thu Feb 07, 2013 17:05**

if something (technic, plantlife, moretrees, or otherwise) calls for spawn_tree, you need a build of Minetest dated Jan. 7 or later, either from one of PilzAdam's, thexyz's, or sfan5's prebuilt binaries (all for Windows), or from a nightly builds repository or compiled from source code (generally Linux users).

1. Am I alone? im using latest technic, but MV wires, vertical are 'invisible'... isnt missing texture?

PS how to use frames and f. motors? (I think they arent just decorative)

Sorry but i cannot see anythin on this screenshot.
MV wires works here without any problems.

About frames: theyre still work in progress, if you would like to see them in action, please visit VanessE server, theres workin setup which uses frames.

Posted: **Fri Feb 08, 2013 16:47**

OK i know ss isnt good but:
Vertical parts of MV wires are invisible
Isolation is only in "middle" of section with wire...
I'll try do better SS

EDIT:

(Using a bit old Misa's pack, which was made before adding MV..)
