[Mod] Pipeworks [20131128] [pipeworks]

[hampa16]

I have minetest 0.4.9.

[Pitriss]

hampa16: pipeworks are working also under 0.4.9 version.. Personally tested.

[Michael.Mungo]

Can someone help with the mod error I have when loading pipeworks?

Version 0.4.9

I couldn't figure out the solution on my own.

Thank you for any assistance.

[Nore]

That means you are using an old version of mesecons.

[VanessaE]

Update your copy of Mesecons.

EDIT: hah - ninja'd

[Michael.Mungo]

That means you are using an old version of mesecons.

Thank you - Updated. All is well.

I have noticed that one of the crafting recipes of the "Mese Sorting Tubes" does not seems to work. it produces an unknown item.

The recipe using 4 mese shards and a tube works, while the recipe with 6 plastic sheets and the mese cristal does not.

I'm using minetest version 4.9 and have used "VanessaE-pipeworks-012aa39.zip" as pipeworks version.

Best regards

[hampa16]

Not for minetest 0.4.9

I tried it and did not work.

[Pitriss]

then problem exist between chair and keyboard:)

[rommiekerova]

I'm loving this mod now I've got the hang of it. Spent hours building elaborate pipelines to transfer crystals in singleplayer. Some glitches were the items fell out of the pipe or jumped to a nearby one but aside from that its really fun.

[gsmanners]

I have to say this mod seems to work fine for me, and I've been running 0.4.9 for a while. The node breaker and tubing seems to be working fine in my automatic cobblestone generator.

I don't know if this bug is already known
This bug allows to multiply every block, tool, craftitem, etc...
It runs with the sand pneumatic tube segment, when you drop an item in it.
Put a sand pneumatic tube segment and drop something in it, then, wait a moment and take the entity which go out.
Can you fix this bug?

Thanks, for a such thing I looked for.
In my server was a person with some chests full of steel, that was...kinda crazy.
Please fix this bug soon. Thanks

I actually originally found this bug a long time ago (half a year or more by now). I believe nore said that it would be very hard to fix.

Edit:

I think the bug is because the code for removing the item entity by the sand tube and the player is executed at the same time... I don't think it is possible to fix it.

It has now been fixed... (but the change was in mt, not pipeworks

whats up with this? been a long time since i played minetest loaded it on a new computer put in pipeworks (which is a mod that i love!! Great work VanessaE) and i get this error, im pretty self sufficient but that doesnt give me much to go on as far as fixing the problem :(

[Temperest]

Try renaming the mod folder to "pipeworks"! As you can see, the error is that "modname does not follow naming conventions: Only chararacters [a-z0-9_] are allowed."

[Krock]

@tbillion:
Try to put the pipeworks mod into your "mods" folder instead of "games/minetest_game/mods".

@Temperest:
Do you see ghosts?

[tbillion]

@krock - all of my mods are in the games/minetest_game/mods this is the "mods" folder for my install/distro, it was installed like that from the *deb package from the debian repository

@temprest - yeah that was the first goof but then i edited the post when there was a real error that appears to be "...t/games/minetest_game/mods/pipeworks/autoplace_tubes.lua:161: attempt to call method 'register_on_mvps_move' (a nil value)"

after looking at the code it apparently has something to do with mesecons the code from the affected area reads :

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

if minetest.get_modpath("mesecons_mvps") ~= nil then
    mesecon:register_on_mvps_move(function(moved_nodes)
        for _, n in ipairs(moved_nodes) do
            pipeworks.scan_for_tube_objects(n.pos)
            pipeworks.scan_for_tube_objects(n.oldpos)
        end
    end)
end


[tbillion]

and if you go through all of the code and remove the function that references mesecon:register_on_mvps_move then you get an even better error.. lmao

this is pretty funny to me. so i go back to the debian webpage and fince the name of the pipeworks mod pack and i have apt-get install it, apt get creates another folder that wasnt there under "/usr/share/games/minetest/mods/pipeworks" but pipe works is the only mod in this folder, and guess what it works... oh well thanks in advance. can put something in a folder that didnt used to be there lol

[hoodedice]

/usr/share/games/minetest/mods/

should be the correct modpath. I don't know much debian, but in ubuntu it is ~/.minetest/mods/
So, you should be on the right path =)

Also, /minetest_game/mods contains the mods for minetest_game, and not Minetest itself. So, yeah.

[tbillion]

ok another operator error, lol pipeworks atill does not work, you see the difference in the two directories it seems is that id you put the mods in "/usr/share/games/minetest/mods/" you can turn them on and off, but if you put them in the other folder i was using you have no option ot shut the mod off, after closer inspection, i eneabled the pipe works mod (when i couldnt giveme things) and bam same error :)

debian and ubuntu are pretty much the same thing since ubuntu is just a twisted and prettily packaged version of debian, but i do not have a game folder in my "~" home folder infact if you ask the terminal whereis minetest is says:

YourFatMother@TBCC-FBOI:/usr/games# whereis minetest
minetest: /usr/games/minetest /usr/share/man/man6/minetest.6.gz

[ssieb]

@tbillion, do you have the latest mesecons? That will probably fix the original error you were getting.

[tbillion]

downloaded mesecons tonight from github

[gsmanners]

The thing that people maybe don't notice about mesecons is that you don't want the version on the download page. That one is super old. You want this version:

https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-mesecons/archive/master.zip

That is the latest version (which is already updated from what I have, I see).

@gsmanners thanks dude that fixed it +1

[IthegeekRS]

It doesn't work with 0.4.9 dev.

[Temperest]

What is the error, IthegeekRS? Are you sure you're installing the mod correctly?

If it is giving you errors with installation, try installing it with MODSTER - it will take care of all the details automatically.

If the items are not showing up, try enabling the mod in the world settings page and opening the world again.

If the items are not working, then please report back with what the incorrect behaviour is.
