[Mod] Technic [0.4.16-dev] [technic]

[Dragon95]

I have a question is anywere a to-do list for this fantastic mod when no then is this a feature request

[jeffrash]

So, Landrush just updated technics and now my HV to MV convertors are not working anymore. What can I do?

[fairiestoy]

jeffrash,
please check our server topic. trukoil and several other members mentioned that the conversion works, but:
a) Is not shown with any values within the switching station
b) MV battery boxes are not charging and not charging contents in it
So if you just want to use for example the workshop or furnaces, then go ahead.

Technic LITE anyone? Simplified? Keeping only the essentials? Anyone..... hello?

[Pitriss]

I just want to leave message for that one who messed up whole technic so badly. That reworked version is one big product of brain damage.. Changing half of recipes in way that whole technic can be setted up in half of day? Where is some challenge?

And completely different reactor, when alot of players have build older version of reactor, is pure madness.. Nowhere was notice for server admins to not update.. Someone went really crazy.

This new technic breaks whole gameplay on landrush server, and I believe landrush is not only server which is damaged by new, screwed up technic.

Sorry guys but this is really one big mistake.. You should revert that to old code and start from scratch.. This version fixed some bugs and breaks whole servers gameplay.. how i can call that? I have no other words than brain damage..

Thats cause technic changes was mainly discussed on VanessaE's server. I think

Seems like a good idea. IMO technic is very bloated...

Been asking for this for months, something that doesn't depend on half a dozen mega-mods.

[LionsDen]

Well, there is ICTools and Voltbuild. ICTools doesn't have a furnace or many other things and voltbuilds furnace is extremely slow even with overclockers.

I have a problem with technic mod. If I try to start a game with enabled concrete and extranodes (included in this mod) the application will crush with error:
"..\..\src\minetest\src\nodedef.cpp:500: CNodeDefManager::set: Assertion 'c <= 0xfff' failed."

[deivan]

The conversion from LV to MV don't is working to me... I make the conversion, I see the conversion but the MV network don't is working, I put a switch but don't is working... Need another piece?

[ShadowNinja]

"..\..\src\minetest\src\nodedef.cpp:500: CNodeDefManager::set: Assertion 'c <= 0xfff' failed."

Until recently Minetest only allowed mods to define up to 4095 different nodes. In recent git versions this has been raised to 32767. Either use a recent unofficial build or disable a few mods that are pushing you over the limit.

The conversion from LV to MV don't isn't working for me...

What version of technic are you using? The supply converter is broken in stable, and in master it doesn't charge batteries, but does power machines.

I recommend getting the latest dev build from either sfan5, Fess, or BlockMen.

[deivan]

I have the git version... Anyway, don't is working with MV.

Problem is solved. Thanks.

deivan, here a little suggestion for your problem. Replace the files supply_converter.lua and switching_station.lua in your mod folder with these two:
Supply Converter
Switching Station
It fixed the problem for me. Though im not sure which changes have been made since, so make a backup of your world first. And dig/place the converters / switching stations once after you replaced these files. If its not working, let me know

Edit:
Also note that this was made for the master branch. I never touched the stable one but since shadow mentioned its totally broken there, its anyway recommendend to use master. Better check which one you have before replacing the files.

[Silent-Hunter]

Is it possible to make it so that the unified inventory thing doesn't automatically make the search box active? Otherwise I can't close it by pressing the inventory button, as that just types in the search box. I edited the code to remove the search box, but then I can't search. I don't see any code for making it active automatically, it just does it.

[fairiestoy]

Silent, what you are describing is default GUI focus and can not be disabled by the Lua API. Though you can close your inventory by just pressing ESC without the need of pressing I ( or whatever setting you are using ).

[Silent-Hunter]

Ah, OK. Would it be impossible for the API to be changed to allow it, or is it a deficiency in Lua itself? I'll just leave the search function commented out then.

[ShadowNinja]

That could be done, but I probably wouldn't do that as it means you have to manually select the search field when opening the inventory. ESC is just as easy to use as 'i' once you start using it.

[Doriphore]

I've got a strange (but nice) bug with this mode.

I built a MV alloy furnace.
When i use it, only the upper input material slot decreases. The lower one stay still.
It's like having an infinite amount of ores...

It's somehow nice, but i doubt this is normal...

[ninjaxx]

???
i cant use the master branch
it sais mod eror:faild to load and run

[Evergreen]

???
i cant use the master branch
it sais mod eror:faild to load and run

*sigh* mod error:failed to load and run isn't enough to go by. Please paste the laste 15 lines of your debug.txt

[ShadowNinja]

I can't use the master branch.
It says "Mod error: failed to load and run."

Are you using Minetest 0.4.7-stable? The topic clearly states that you need a recent git build.
If you are using a recent git build then I will need all of the error lines in order to help you.

[samotnik]

Very interesting mod.
Have installed it yesterday, and found a bug — you should use 'group:wood' instead of 'default:wood' to be able to use any type of wood.

BTW, can anybody write a tutorial, how to connect all electrical appliance in a circuit? I've made a water mill, LV battery box and a grinder, but when I connect this grinder or battery box to a water mill with LV cable through a bottom socket, it remains unpowered, though water mill has "production 100%"
