Awesome looking mod! No time currently to try it out, but I'll give it a shot a little bit later :D

One question: How does it scans the furnace?

Just pressed the "empty" preset when this happened:

Code: Select all

AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod 'mesecons_scanner' in callback node_on_timer(): /home/akos/.minetest/mods/mesecons_scanner/init.lua:128: attempt to call field 'setstate' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
	/home/akos/.minetest/mods/mesecons_scanner/init.lua:128: in function 'update_state'
	/home/akos/.minetest/mods/mesecons_scanner/init.lua:262: in function </home/akos/.minetest/mods/mesecons_scanner/init.lua:219>

One question: How does it scans the furnace?

The furnace has 3 inventories, fuel, src and dst. Just pick the one you want use in the scanner's interface (by right clicking on the scanner after placing it).

The scanner is a part of the mesecons mod, not stand alone. Until my patch has been merged (or made to a stand alone mod) you need to replace the mesecon mod with my fork like so


cd $HOME/.minetest/mods
git clone --branch scanner-node https://github.com/johalun/mesecons


but first move or delete any existing mesecons mod folder.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

I see! Thank you again

Looking forward to either one of those happening :)

Neat mod and good implementation. I hope it gets merged.
