i have a question, what i must change a code in luacontroller/uni.lua would while and other works?

i have a question, what i must change a code in luacontroller/uni.lua would while and other works?

As of 7517cc4af16f225ff2a48fa9f8ed82f608bf0082, replace the code in lines 130-136 with "return" to disable all prohibitions on Luacontrollers. Remember, you should be aware that malicious users can use this to hang your server extremely easily.

Is there a way to tweak the pressure plates, they sometimes do not detect any movement over them at.

About Piston
I use one pinton + 1 button to push a block (ex:adjust the cave).
However, when the piston is placed, the face is exactly the oppo side of my expectation.
How do I modify the code to reach my expectation?
I do not want to use a screwdriver.

I just downloaded this mod, and I cannot figure out what the water turbine does! Can someone shed some light into this for me?

[Sokomine]

The water turbine detects if water is flowing. It's a sensor. Don't confuse it with the watermill from technic - that one provides energy to power machines. This one just sends a signal once the water flows.

[Jeija]

@BRICK
As http://mesecons.net/items/waterturbine.php says, place them so that flowing water is above them. They will then turn green and power conductors or effectors.

Hi, I think I have found a bug with the behaviour of mesecon when getting pushed by pistons.
The mesecon doesn't always update its power transfer when a new mesecon gets pushed in to connect a circuit.

Before pushing button http://i.imgur.com/VVxxz8m.png
After pushing button http://i.imgur.com/KcLyoLZ.png
The blue glow stone doesn't light up.

Another situation, this time with two separate power sources.

This time the glow stone does light up.

try replacing the moving wire piece with a mese block or an insulated mesecon corner.

[Jeija]

Very wierd bug... Can you report it on our GitHub, doommaggot?

[doommaggot]

try replacing the moving wire piece with a mese block or an insulated mesecon corner.

Did some more testing on it, insulated mese works fine for all cases I checked.

It seems that the mesecon or mesecon block attached to the power source is the one that is causing the problem, if this is insulated mese then the power gets updated correctly.

Added bug on github too.

Hello everyone,
why now disappeared all command blocks? They also disappeared from documentation.
Thanx
EDIT: I found that they were removed. When they will be fixed? I want to create autoteleporting TARDIS gate in singleplayer, but how to teleport to inside of the TARDIS without command block?

Hello,

I was testing Mesecons interaction with switches from monorails mod and suddenly my server crashed with this:

Code: Select all

I do not know what exactly caused this error, but since it is clearly in mesecons script files I report it here.

They were removed because of a security problem that I found. They will be put back in when fixed, but it's not an issue in singleplayer, so you can safely use the command block from an older version.

[CitroPotter]

can you add a chest that detects special items when put in it? please!

[nayef_mazraani]

Im such a n00b looking at the circuits u made soo well heres a top 5 minetest mods video showing off cool mods and ur mod is #1 Good Job ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD6ErFNBlXM

mesecons are great, but in my opinion the lightstones are a bit dark (amount of emitted light)

my idea is that you can craft lightstones that emit more light

some possible recipes for this:
(0 = nothing, L = lightstone, T = torch, S = Stone, M = Mesecon-wire)

0 0 0
0 L 0
0 T 0

or

0 0 0
0 L 0
0 L 0

or

0 S 0
S L S
0 M 0

or

0 S 0
S L S
0 L 0

another idea is a rainbow-lightstone (it changes the color every time in a smooth way, it doesn't change the color suddenly)
for example it starts red and goes into orange and then into yellow until it goes through all colors and gets red again

a recipe could be:
(N = Nyan-cat rainbow block)

0 N 0
S T S
0 M 0

when i use a mesecon torch, it does not invert (it acts like a powerplant for me)

what is wrong?

[hoodedice]

what is wrong?

That is the intended behaviour.

[Temperest]

Inversion is done by powering the block behind the block the mesecon torch is attached to:

Code: Select all

<#----S

< = Mesecon torch
# = dirt or something like that
- = Mesecon wire
S = switch or lever

i found a bug with mesecons sticky movestones and the furnace. this ruins your map

if you try to pull a furnace with a sticky movestone, minetest crashes

i get this error message:

ERROR: .../minetest/games/minetest_game/mods/default/nodes.lua: 1045
attempt to index local "fuel" (a nil value)

this ruins my map, because the error occurs again when i try to start this map

i tried this with pushing, sticky piston and chest/locked chest with and without something in the chest, but there all works (no crashes)

[sfan5]

Furnaces unfortanely have this bug, actually pistons should never move furnaces or chests anyway.
To get your map to work again you should try updating to 0.4.9 stable, the problem seems to fixed there.
(It may also be sufficent to just use a recent minetest_game from https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game)
