Would there be a way to get the piston to push up?

Would there be a way to get the piston to push up?

i was hoping for the same thing

[VanessaE]

Jeija: regarding the water turbine - Can you adjust it so that it uses two separate nodes for the block and the cross-shaped extension? It'll be easier to texture that way.

[Jeija]

Sorry VanessaE, that won't work, because water needs to flow through it, a second node would block that.

[VanessaE]

damn. Well at least see the latest stuff I committed (and sfan5 merged) to your repos, you'll like them. :-)

[Jeija]

I'd just like to tell you all that I finished a first experimental version of a microcontroller.
As soon as it works 100% and it's easy to create logic gates with it (with buttons in the menu) I was planning to remove the and gate (AND block by whiskers_75). Would that be OK for you whiskers?

If it's obsolete, sure.

I made a paste Service for Code written for the µC

I have something like this after pressing button connected to the piston through inverter:

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

It seems piston doesn't move wooden block and minetest crashing :(

[sfan5]

The item_drop Mod doesn't works with Pistons.
You should update to the latest Mesecons Version too, because i made a Change to the Way how the Pistons remove Blocks

[Ragnarok]

Thanks. I upgraded mesecons and remove item_drop but now piston replicates every block which moves.



Any idea?

[GloopMaster]

One problem: Microcontroller recipe overwrites IC recipe. Make Microcontroller take another mesecon in the corner ;)


EDIT: Ignore that, make the IC recipes use Microcontrollers, since ICs no longer exist apparently.

[Jeija]

Thanks. I upgraded mesecons and remove item_drop but now piston replicates every block which moves.



Any idea?

I guess you're talking about sticky pistons. If so, I just fixed that bug.

[-2cool4me4-]

Is there anyy reason why I can't delete mesecons after I place them?

[Ragnarok]

Yes, probably it hasn't selectionbox.

[Belgac]

Microcontrolers are the best thing in minetest :) they are quite easy to program also.

If you made any Programs please paste them with Description and Name at http://sfan.sf.funpic.de/ycpaste/index.php

[kotolegokot]

Jeija, I hope you will fix it (if it's a bug).

[Jeija]

Actually.. not it's not a bug. On the left the mesecon is 1 block behind (+above/below) the lever, on the right it is directly above/below the switch.

[durtective6]

thanks i made such a great door with these :D

[cornernote]

code for a half adder:

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

off(C,D)if(A~B)on(C);if(A&B)on(D);: A and B are inputs, C and D are outputs

[Jeija]

Tip:
You can paste code and find other's creations on sfan5's ycpaste:

[Jeija]

Check out the new website for mesecons at mesecons.tk

There you can find
- craft recipes
- screenshots
- changelogs
- developer resources
- extensions
- µCPaste
- ...

Tell me what you think about it!

As (may) see, there are annoying ads on the website. If you know a hoster or If you have a server that hosts my website, I'd be very grateful.

[VanessaE]

Thanks to a newer function Jeija added, half-adders can be done with a bit less code:

sbi(D, A~B) sbi(C, A&B)

A and B are inputs, C is the carry, D is the sum.

I've tried to use microcontroller yesterday with object detection and sticky pistons. It awesome things to make interactive defence from griefers.

Also i've built power plant with solar- and hydroturbine which switches automatically from one power source to secondary if first inoperative. Thanks for microcontroller developing! I really like it. :-)

Just let's clear, please, how possible to craft batteries, buttons and levers? That's 'hack' to use it in creature mode, would be much better perform anything in survival mode manually.
UPD: I've found this on your site. Thanks!

Also there is an idea to make a coal power plant. Could you please tell if possible to include something looks as "coal furnance turbine" to mesecons mode?

Thanks again!

what's the point for smelting coal if the torch or plant does the same for free?

[Belgac]

I still think mesecon is a electronic system and not an energy sytem because there isn't really an amount of energy transferred but just an on/off signal. That's why i think the batteries are kind of strange and not really usefull (maybe i'm wrong) and that the solar panel and hydro-turbine should be renamed to light and flow detectors.

[vtty0]

I'm not so friendly with an mesecons ideology (i'm newby in minetest at all), so I'm not sure if idea about coal powerplant is OK. I was thought that mesecons looks like an magic-electricity conversion or something like that.

UPD: anyway, mesecons mod is awesome and I like it. Thanks for you great job. :-)

energy is made it's not just puff oh look it's power it's made by water , sun or by the burning of fuel , even nuclear power it a conversion from one source to another to give us power

Mesecons mode's power plant, blinky plant, mesecon torch are nice "magic" items to generate energy. And interesting that when we place items as on screenshot:



that meselamp will be lighted when we push lever and even if we'll not place power plant/torch close to lever. Same thing with weight-reaction panels, object detector - there is no necessity on power supply placed close to one.

Please, tell if that's alright or bug?
