tar and zip are just formats. They are supported by any operating system.

sycam: try the program called 7zip for windows

and yes, .tar.gz is the most used compression on gnu/linuxide operating systems

no fileformat is bound to any operating systems ... you can even run .exe with wine here ^^

0.4 doesnt work ..but 0.3.1 works really nice on my server

Great mod! ^_^ I have got one request though would it be possible to make it so if you have two switches connected to the same circuit (for a piston door for example) that when one switch is turned on the other is also set as powered so that when you press the other switch it will turn the other switch that is on the same circuit off/on and visa versa ^_^ if that makes sense?

This would be good yes, but there's already another method, that does not require the player to "dig/hit" anything.

By using the pressure plates. You can create something like this

Now, in the image above, I'm looking though a glass, sticky-piston door. Below it, 4 sets of 1x2 pressure plates (now I technically only needed 3, I added a forth for fun) Under the pressure plates, is a network of mesecon, leading to a transmitter which is current off. An inverter is currently on, and powering the doors. So when you step onto the pressure plates, it will turn on the transmitter, thus turning off the inverter, which in turn, turns off the sticky-pistons. And opens the door.

I had the same probles as mentioned earlier in this topic because of system-wide installed version (Linux), but I figured out how to fix it without setting absolute paths:

In file jeija/init.lua line 1617, change from

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: -- MOVESTONES dofile("../data/mods/jeija/movestone.lua") if ENABLE_TEMPEREST==1 then dofile("../data/mods/jeija/temperest.lua") end

to

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: -- MOVESTONES dofile(minetest.get_modpath("jeija").."/movestone.lua") if ENABLE_TEMPEREST==1 then dofile(minetest.get_modpath("jeija").."/temperest.lua") end

This solved the problem for me, and I suggest also Jeija to make this change into next version of Mesecon.

This change already is applied in the GitHub Dev version of the mod:
https://github.com/Jeija/minetest-mod-mesecons
As I said, I paused development for some weeks :(; if someone wants to contribute or package the current github version, feel free to do it!

Whoops sorry, I didn't know about that...
Typical. :)

Made a four bit binary adder this morning:

And here is the control panel:

(0b1110 + 0b0111 = 0b10101)

Made completely out of mesecons, plugs, sockets, and inverters, so it requires ENABLE_TEMPEREST to be set to 1 (it's disabled by default because in certain configurations it can crash MineTest). If anyone is interested, I can upload the world somewhere.

Mesecons are now capable of anything :).

Here is the schematic:

i love this mod, but the pics never work for me so i am never able use the mod, please help

by **Jeija** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 16:41

@Zarberman: What do you mean by the pics dont work for you? Why cant you use the mod then?
*sorry if this is a stupid question*

by **dannydark** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 17:50

@Temperest or anyone who may know, is it possible to use the normal inverter that's part of Temperest's code able to be used without using plugs or sockets? I can't test atm as I'm not at home but my friend was asking.

EDIT: basically is it possible to do this: SCCCICCCL (where S = Switch, C = Cable/Mesecon, I = inverter and L = lamp)

by **Jeija** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 18:22

As I know you have to use the plug thing also for inverters... There were working mesecon torches, but someone removed them from github. Check out the commits on github to find them.
I once tried to improve them to act like minecraft redstone torches, but it didn't work that well. Anyway, they should work for your purposes. When I have more time for mod development, I will change that thing. (You have to wait 4 weeks, I'll also make it compatible with the new update then if noone does it before)

by **dannydark** » Mon Jan 23, 2012 18:28

Hi Jeija thanks for the reply, The torches are still in git if I remember correctly (wasn't it just a copy of the torches file that got removed?) they just didn't seem to work for me, they where always powered no matter what I tried.

I will grab the latest git when I get back and give it another go ^_^

Here's the world: http://db.tt/VyMa0WnL

It's now an 8-bit adder :).

Behind the adder is a working design for a memory latch. It should be possible to make working memory with it.

NOTE: Don't use the leftmost two bits - they currently crash minetest for some reason.

when ever i try to craft the meselamp, it does not show up like its the wronge recipe but i have double checked it and i am pritty sure it is right. i have even redownloaded the mod and it still does not show up. please help

by **dannydark** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 20:51

@Zarberman the meselamp recipe is as follows:

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: Top Row: ' ', 'Glass', ' ' Middle Row: 'Mesecon', 'Steel ingot', 'Mesecon' Bottom Row: ' ', 'Glass', ' '

Make sure you have an empty square either side of the glass on the top row and bottom row.
