I do get some wrong textures when placing for example a water turbine or just a mesecon. What am I doing wrong?

by **Temperest** » Wed Jun 19, 2013 16:16

Try turning off the texture atlas in minetest.conf:

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: enable_texture_atlas = false

I don't get what mese blocks do in mesecons, can someone please explain it to me

Okay. It is basically just another conductor. Just like regular mesecons.

by **Temperest** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 13:48

It's a conductor, like Evergreen said, but instead of conducting in the standard four directions with diagonals vertically, it conducts in the four directions on the same level, and vertically, directly up and down.

To see the difference for yourself, see the article "Mesecons Basics", there's a link in my signature.

Well.. I end up destroying the thing under it....

You can dig them when you see the black outline or border around them (at least according to the selection box), just like torches.

Edit: nevermind. I just installed mescons and tried to dig a solar panel (creative and not in creative, with and without tools). The break very fast. So I guess that can't be the problem...

Edit2:
- If you're playing on a server, are you the only one having that issue?
- If playing singleplayer: you could use the latest minetest version with the latest mesecons. or
- copy/paste here the init.lua you have in the folder: Jeija-minetest-mod-mesecons-8ea71a9/mesecons_solarpanel

I'm on a server and I can't see the selection box AT ALL.. Idk if any others have it

Is your HUD enabled? Are you sure it's a Mesecons solar panel, and not, say, a technic one?

by **pheonixfire** » Sat Jun 22, 2013 02:07

Jeija, do you need a place holder image for the wireless receiver and transmitter?

Is there a way to create big sliding-doors? maybe with Sticky Movestones?

I can only build doors 2 blocks wide with the sticky pistons:

by **Jeija** » Sat Jun 22, 2013 07:01

IIRC you should be able to find an automatic sliding door using sticky movestones here:
https://github.com/Novatux/Sliding_door/blob/master/Sliding_door.zip?raw=true

That awesome construction was built by Novatux/Nore.
Just copy the contained folder "Build" into your worlds folder.

Thank you Jeija and sfan5 its really difficult to build but I think I can do it.
I show you a pic if its finished.

there is a bug with the vertical mesecons :-P
1. build something like this

2. stand on the pressure plate

3. remove one of the vertical mesecons

4. leave the pressure plate

5. watch the "magic" light glowing :o

by **RohitM** » Wed Jul 03, 2013 03:23

What is the name of the folder? I renamed the mod folder (Not the one you copy into, but the extracted one you get from here) and now I forgot what it was named!

by **Temperest** » Wed Jul 03, 2013 03:43

It doesn't really matter since Mesecons uses the mod pack pattern, but I name it "Mesecons" myself.

by **DeepGaze** » Wed Jul 03, 2013 10:12

is there a metal block that acts like a wire without changing shape and looks like a full block

by **Jeija** » Wed Jul 03, 2013 12:01

DeepGaze: You should just try using a MESE block for that. It only slightly changes its color when powered.

by **Evergreen** » Wed Jul 03, 2013 12:05

Jeija wrote:DeepGaze: You should just try using a MESE block for that. It only slightly changes its color when powered.

I think DeepGaze wants a block that can carry power without being noticed. For deepgaze: I can try making a mods that allows iron blocks to conduct electricity.

maybe you have not seen my post some days ago.
can you please fix the bug?

Is there any item that works as a "caller"?
I want to create a security system at home and that draws attention when triggered.
Or an item that sends a message when fired!

I also want to learn about the item for servers and for serving!

I have another question off topic.
How to make so that only the owner of the server has unlimited items? Without being in a creative way.

by **Dan Duncombe** » Sat Jul 06, 2013 19:55

Someone playing Minetest on the server computer itself will automatically have all priveleges I think- so they could use /giveme command.

How to edit the / help command?

You can't edit commands

You should rename the Mod (not the modpack) mesecons to something else (e.g. mesecons_main), because the Ingame mod manager has trouble to differentiate it from the whole modpack. I have to enable every single sub-mod in mesecons by hand...

by **DeepGaze** » Sun Jul 14, 2013 11:47

is there hope for a wireless mesecon?
