[Mod] Mesecons (= redstone) [GitHub] [minetest-mod-mesecons]

[Don]

Okay... I'm slightly new to all of this, though I have gotten most of my mods to work. Until this one...
Problem I am having is when enabled, it won't fully load because of this:

22:19:04: ERROR[main]: ========== ERROR FROM LUA ===========
22:19:04: ERROR[main]: Failed to load and run script from

22:19:04: ERROR[main]: ======= END OF ERROR FROM LUA ========

(Also don't mind the file name, I tried removing and re-applying the mod folder, and decided to leave the full title because I know it doesn't much matter as it's a modpack anyhow)

And when I go to the script and hit up line 79, it brings me to:

light_source = default.LIGHT_MAX-5,


So if it's a noobish mistake I apologize, but please inform me of how this can be fixed, thanks :$

A simple solution would be to change line 79 to
light_source = 10,

But the existing code should work. What version of minetest are you running?

[addi88088]

The mod folder needs to be named mesecons. According to what I can see of you path, it should be:

/home/addi/.minetest/mods/mesecons/

I don't know if there is anything else wrong but I am using the latest mesecons with the latest minetest and am not having problems.

That's how it is, it's just that I left the folders original name as "Jeija-minetest-mod-mesecons-fec43a3" because since it's a mod pack, you don't necessarily have to change the folder name

As for Don, I'll give that a shot, and version 0.4.9

EDIT: alright, I gave it a shot, and it worked. I think... only because now its bringing up another error (different section, not torch anymore), for the same reason, the "LIGHT_MAX" so I think I'll just have to go through them and take it out all-round :S Thanks though!

[Nathan.S]

I believe that the line should read

Code: Select all

light_source = LIGHT_MAX-5,

Unless I am mistaken this should fix it. I wonder though if you might have an out dated version of this mod.

[Don]

@addi88088 Minetest is on version 0.4.12. You should consider upgrading.
Many mods use features that require the latest version.

Have you use the lastest Minetest (0.4.12)? Have you use the Mesecon master git version?
Seems like there should be a dependencies to default mod.

[addi88088]

Alright, soo... I got this mod working, and the only other mod that I had a problem with was home decor. I then updated to version 0.4.12 as advised (through ppa, because I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)) and it then waved out a different error. This time it was the 'override_item', though to fix I removed the bracket after item, placed an equal sign, and removed the concluding bracket. Which seemed to work. If this is a bad idea, and anyone else has a better fix, I'm willing to learn lol. I just started messing around with mods yesterday so yes, I'm a bit of a noob at the moment, that's going through trial and error, thank you terminal. x) Thanks for the help though! Everyone! Seems to be a cooperative, easy to get along with, atmosphere! I like it :D

EDIT: by the way.. To fix, I ended up getting rid of the 'default.LIGHT_MAX' completely, as I have back-up's, if anything were to go wrong. So ill make a quick note of the removal of just the 'default.' just in case I come across any problems from removing the section I had removed.

[Don]

Glad you got it working. Mesecons is one of the must haves for single player.
Most people on the forum are great. Anytime you have an issue just ask.

instead of removing it you could also add a mod, write the mods which use the 'default.LIGHT_MAX' as optional dependency into the depends.txt file of the mod and write 'default.LIGHT_MAX = default.LIGHT_MAX or 14' into init.lua

[SlowMo24]

SloMo24: I dont think that you can, it would have to be placed manually to work properly...

this motivated me :-) and I found a way that works for my needs, but it is very dirty and stupid if you don't especially need it:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_abm({
	nodenames = {"mesecons_pressureplates:pressure_plate_stone_off"},
	interval = 1.0,
	chance = 1,
	action = function(pos, node, active_object_count, active_object_count_wider)
		minetest.get_node_timer(pos):start(mesecon.setting("pplate_interval", 0.1))
	end,
})

[GFX_Garage]

The node detector isn't working for me. I put the name in "default:dirt" and put a dirt block beside it and nothing. The player detector works just fine. I deleted the folder, re-downloaded and installed with the same result. It's happening in Windows and Linux. Am I doing something wrong?

Here are the mods I have installed:
3D Armor
Beds
Hud
Item Drop
Memorandum
Mesecons (of course)
More Blocks
More Ores
Pipeworks
Technic
Throwing
Unified Inventory
Wardrobe
World Edit

(EDIT) Here's a video, in case I'm making a mistake or something.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/e9p ... e.flv?dl=0

This is happening in Windows 7 Home Premium 64 and Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 64.

(EDIT)
I did a clean install of minetest 0.4.12 and mesecons alone and it didn't work. The player detector worked but not the node detector. I did it with 4.11 and 4.12, in the 32 and 64 bit releases, in the mingw and msvc releases with the same result.

There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary in the dump.

[JoshMars]

It would be awesome if the player detector could handle more than one player's name in the search

[programmingchicken]

The node detector isn't working for me. I put the name in "default:dirt" and put a dirt block beside it and nothing.

Is the node detector FACING the block?
And it outputs mesecon signals, if you are wondering.

[GFX_Garage]

Ok so the node detector only detects nodes placed in the coordinate directly in front of it? Is there a way to give it a radius like the player detector? I can't find this information online.

[bbaez]

I too got the LIGHT_MAX error using the latest mesecons from github and Minetest Server 0.4.12 using Neuromancer world. I initially updated mesecons to support the latest pipeworks, then starting getting the LIGHT_MAX error.

Tried removing default.LIGHT_MAX but then got the same error in mesecons_button, then mesecons_powerplant.

What is the elegant way of resolving this?

Thanks!

Quick update, looks light LIGHT_MAX is set in minetest_game/mods/default/legacy.lua. I tried copying the default mod into Neuromancer mod, but got a nil error. Going to try to be surgical later today.

[programmingchicken]

GFX, sorry.
Only if the opening is facing the block.
The radius part would be complicated to the max, and so Jeija didn't add it in.
Ask a coder nicely to whip something up for you in the modding discussion subforums?
(i could make something if i knew how to make modified mesecons mods)

[bbaez]

I took Hybrid Dog's suggestion and created a mod with

default.LIGHT_MAX = default.LIGHT_MAX or 14

in init.lua but get the following:

Using defaults mod from minetest_game was not going anywhere since with default = {} was erasing all the other defaults.

Any suggestions?

[Hybrid Dog]

this looks like the error happens in the default mod

[bbaez]

Yes, but I only created the default mod to resolve the LIGHT_MAX nil value issue. I was trying your suggestion from Fri May 29, 2015 00:07.

Trying to resolve this:

Yes, but I only created the default mod to resolve the LIGHT_MAX nil value issue. I was trying your suggestion from Fri May 29, 2015 00:07.

if you call the mod "default", the other "default" isn't loaded l think
you could also add 'default.LIGHT_MAX = default.LIGHT_MAX or 14' somewhere in the mesecons mod

l wrote that at 10:07, not at night.
ls your time zone UTC-8?

[bbaez]

Thank you! I took the 0.4.12 minetest_game default mod folder and placed replaced the old one in the Neuromancer Game mods directory. The new minetest_game default mod folder basically has the line you were saying to add.

[GFX_Garage]

@programmingchicken:

Thanks for the response. I may have to do some rethinking.

[amadin]

Can anybody help me - force to work mod "carts" (modified by lag01 https://github.com/AndrejIT/carts) with mesecons (for exampe, now with the switch players can't push the cart). lag01 can't help me.

[SAMIAMNOT]

AMAZING mod. Love how it follows all the rules of Minecraft Redstone. I got a Minecraft book on Redstone and use that to study your blocks. ;)
Two request though:
1) Bug fixes: Several items, including Redstone Torches, Power Plants and Buttons refuse to load, at least in Minetest 0.4.11
2) Dispensers from the More Mesecons mods. http://forum.minetest.net/t=7837

EDIT: I have the Light Max error too. Will the OP please fix this? Also, sorry for the dead link; HERE is the mod: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=7837

[JoshMars]

If two conditions were true the capabilities would expand immensely for player detectors:
1. Detectors locked (currently any player can edit them)
2. Detectors handle multiple player names

Then I could make SECURE doors with pistons ...
