[Mod] Pipeworks [git] [pipeworks]

[VoidLord]

O.K., now I'm getting an error message for all of my worlds saying "some exception: "std::bad_alloc"". Obviously I screwed up something big.

[VoidLord]

Never Mind.

How is the Mese Filter different from the regular filter?

[LionsDen]

Hi,

I thought I should mention that I made one of your autocrafters and set it to make battery boxes. I put the items in the recipe box area and put all of the items needed to make 4 battery boxes into the inventory area. It made the 4 battery boxes just fine, but it only took 1 battery for each box instead of the required 4.

Looks like a great mod, I just need to spend more time learning it.

EDIT: It may be because the batteries aren't stackable and it was trying to take partial stacks.

[Temperest]

BrandonReese: read Overview.html in the mod folder for full descriptions. In short, MESE filters take the whole stack, while normal ones only take one item.

i did everything right, but i still get an error!

What is the exact text of the error message you are getting? Look in your debug.txt file or launch minetest from a terminal/command prompt, and copy&paste the errors here. I need everything that looks like an error (the last 30-40 lines should be sufficient).

Exit minetest. Look with your explorer or filemanager in your minetest folder for a file with the name debug.txt.

Delete it. Start minetest. Choose the world with the pipeworks folder. Start that world. You now get the "failed to load and run ...." error. Exit minetest.

Now look again for the file debug.txt (it has reappeared). Open the debug.txt file (doubleclick on it). I expect your debug log level is 2, so select all the text, copy the selected text and yhen paste all the text here in a post.

Maybe it looks difficult, but you'll learn it quickly.

Looks like you may have used the "Extract archive in own folder" feature of your archiving program. Try using "Extract here" instead.

I need to see the full error message each time you post a report, otherwise all you're doing is saying twice that 'it doesn't run'. The rest of the error message tells me why it didn't work. That said, if it's complaining about missing files, you either did not get the entire file when you downloaded it, or you're copying only part of the mod when you installed it. init.lua is most definitely there in the archive. :-)

Is there a file called init.lua in the following directory on your computer?

C:\Users\User\Downloads\minetest-0.4.7\mods\pipeworks\

If not, then you do not have the mod installed properly.

I think I found the bug: changing the topmost folder to pipeworks fixes it. First error complains the name is illegal because of the hyphen I think, second error is generated because it's looked for pipeworks:pipe_whatever, and the modfolder is either named pipeworks-master by default or pipeworksmaster if you only delete the "hyphen".

A thing on that hyphen, it seems some mods take it as an acceptable character, but not yours (calinou_mods-master and minetest-mod-mesecons-master). Those ones work fine with the -master suffix, so you might want to see if there's a more relative naming convention they use, as yours depends on the name of the topfolder.

[Nore]

It is because calinou_mods or mesecons are modpacks, so the name of the modpack folder does not care. However, pipeworks is a mod, so it should be called pipeworks to follow the naming conventions.

Then it'd probably reduce the uh, "noob" error reports if that information was slapped in big red lettering above the download link, and even have like, the download in a spoiler. Also in the readme.

Or she could make a one-mod modpack, are there "rules" against that?

Edit: she

@VanessaE: Hoping this topic will get sticky:

[VanessaE]

The topic Nore made has been stickied; I already put explicit instructions in the first post some time ago that you must rename the folder to "pipeworks". I guess you didn't see it (under "Install").

[pingpong2012]

Yup, it might be a good idea to have the download link in the install instructions, like "Rename the extracted folder to pipeworks after you have downloaded the mod from x"or at least before the download.

When there's like two paragraphs before the download link I just see a wall of text I'm supposed to ignore and download the mod and extract.
