[Mod] Mesecons (= redstone) [GitHub] [minetest-mod-mesecons]

Hmm.. how many different nodes does that use?

I had an idea for a conductor that would act the same as a MESE block, but would be more economical to use (in survival). It could automatically connect like the pipes in the Pipeworks mod, but instead of transporting stuff, they would act like wires.

you could try the mese_fence mod
https://github.com/Megaf/mese_fence

Hmm... that's almost exactly what I wanted!
Can it connect to other mesecons nodes, like logic gates and pistons?

Why do the levers have curved parts?

l think yes.

As far as l know, it's because VaE made the meshnodes.

It's kind of random, because none of the other things have any curved parts. I don't really like meshnodes.

l don't know how to make the texture for the model. (some time ago l wanted to make a tv with flickering/ants caused by z fighting)
my mushrooms don't use the nodebox drawtype

I'm making a modification of the Conducting Pneumatic Tubes in pipeworks so that they act just like mesecons. I've mostly finished removing the other features in pipeworks, and soon I'll make the "tubes" connect to other mesecon stuff, like pistons and levers, and add logic gates that can face in all 6 directions.

hopefully this will fix the problems with transmitting power upwards.

This is such a gorgeous Mod.

I have now got a computer deep deep deep deep in a cavern, where I learn my craft. No-one ever seems to find me, but alas, I am alone in my work.

I struggle to find a way to make a white light block, but I've got red and green, Maybe blue later.

Also working out how to make them blink in cycle.

try delayers

I'd make mesecons like a block, not a line. Then you wouldn't need to worry about it's direction.
Off - like glass plus some color. On - like off, but some light. Or make it green/red when on/off.

You're right (sorry about quoting such an old post). Sometimes, simplicity is best. I think I'll make an add-on for mesecons that adds a block that acts like mese, but is transparent and climbable. And also those vertical logic gates I've been talking about. How do you make it so blocks can be placed facing in any of the 6 directions?

um where was the code kept before github?

note that you can't hear the clap sounds when you look at the animated screenshot

thanks
after I placed the trapdoors when the sun was shining I placed the solar panel and it was a bit buggy I think
they weren't clapping right after they got the power by placing the panel

and when I made a chandelier with mesecons conducting fences I placed a mesecon torch so that it gives a signal to the fences on 2 places and for any reason it was blinking like a hot-wired not gate and it didn't stop

What was the torch placed on?

[poet.nohit]

Would it be possible to have blinky plants that take input (and can be configured to a specific delay within the game)? That would make a lot of my wiring far more compact (using a standard 2x3+1 delayer/not/diode to do the same thing at the moment).

I think you can connect the blinky plant to a lua- or micro- controller, and have it only output every other pulse.
if(A)sbi(B,-B) I think would be the microcontroller code.
A=input (blinky plant)
B=output_

lol still havn't gotten an answer

It seems that nobody knows...

[12Me21]

We should do another mesecons contest!

maybe have one of the categories be to build something as small as possible..

anyway, I have this really awesome SR latch:

V/< : nand gate
x= not gate
(in front of the not gates are buttons)

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

stormchaser3000, there's an old mesecons version: http://minetest.org/data/modzips/index.html

12Me21: idk, now the mesecons torch just behaves like a bIinky pIant

that mean's it's short-circuited.

For the custom signal toggle delay: Have a look at the Luacontroller documentation, specifically the interrupt() function.
Before mesecons was on GitHub, it wasn't hosted on a repository anywhere, but only developed by minerd247 (textures) and me (all code). You could download the mod from Ubuntu One, but since that service closed, links to Ubuntu One no longer work.

If you want to have a look at some of these really old mesecons versions (the early ones were just called "jeija" mod, e.g. jeija.zip, jeija04.zip), I still have them: You can download a zip file that contains all my early minetest mods / other minetest stuff I used to to such as the flamethrower mod, the nyanland mod, the timber mod, the oldmese mod and a (propably no longer working??) mesecons adventure map:
Just grab http://mesecons.net/random/jeija_old_minetest_stuff.zip

The lua controller works great, but I just prefer to do things visually, and having a repeater (to blunt about it) would actually be pretty cool, I think. Or maybe I should just add one and shut up about it. :)

the delayer is basically the same as the repeater, except the delayer's delay times are not evenly spaced. I think 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 1 second.

[mtmodder148]

The delayers' time difference should be 1, 2, 3, 4 IMO.

That's kind of long, how about 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1. that way it will be close enough not to completely break everything that uses them.

[mtmodder148]

Good point.

[Hybrid Dog]

you could also make the delayer support every time difference without using a formspec to write the delay (a not linear rotation delayer)

[12Me21]

If you really want a delayer that can have any delay time, just use a microcontroller. You can also use one instead of any logic gate
