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

A 3d scanner and printer with 3 different inks?? Holy *!
I can't wait for an article on the laboratory...

There should be a memory cell

[Jeija]

memory cell = rs flop; Can be made using microcontrollers (deprecated) or luacontrollers, via gates and mesecon torches. Here is an example for an RS-Flop (propably a pretty large and bad one):

[Temperest]

Memory cells can be implemented already in multiple ways:

• Luacontroller
• Microcontroller
• Latches made of logic gates
• Latches made of plugs/sockets/inverters

You might find microcontrollers to be the easiest and most compact though, just right click it and press the "D-FF" button, and it will be programmed to be a memory cell.

These exist in the meatworld(one is running on my basement, printing parts for a robotics competition, but are slow, heavy, and annoying.

There is again the bug of pistons pushing sand upwards drop sand:
I have 2 pistons (normal ones), the first pushs sand upwards and the second pushs sand on the first one (so it creates a sand elevator). I have a microcontroller, with port B connected to the first piston, port D to the second one, and code sbi(B,A)sbi(D,!A). I put a few sand for the second piston, toggled a few times port A with some delay, and the pistons created sand out of nowhere.

This is the best Mod I have ever downloaded! It is all very wonderful to work with. this mod has more features than the redstone in minecraft which is great! Continue adding more features because I love them! Thx a lot. Keep up the great work.

Warm regards -
Luke

[Jeija]

Glad you like it :) !
Just request features if you miss any!

[jojoa1997]

what about a dispenser that drops out items like when you press 'q'

[Temperest]

That's more in the domain of the pipeworks mod, which can do this and much, much more.

Nore, I can't seem to reproduce the issue. Can you make a WE save or world download? A picture is alright too.

I'd love to see a multiplexer that takes in 2 or 3 signals(digilines or otherwise), and converts them into one digiline on the fourth side that can be sent to a demultiplexer to separate the signals out again.

Example:
(equals is digiline, --- is mesecon)

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

"AAA">===                                     =====>"AAA"
        [Multiplexer]===========[Demultiplexer]
"BBB">===                                     =====>"BBB"


These can also be nested so you get 4 or so signals, called A, B, C, D, and first multiplexed into (AB) and (CD) and then fed into another multiplexer that gives ((AB)(CD)). This could be implemented with luacontrollers but a simple node would be better.

I keep getting moderror: failed to load and run c:\minetest\minetest-0.4.5\minetest-.0.4.5\bin\..\mods\minetest\jeija-mietest-mod-mesec and it wont show rest but it wont work when I try to run it. I also get this kind of error with my other mods too. also just gor minetest and mod today as of 3/31/2013

That happens to me when I download some mods like the traps mod etc. This mod works fine though

Do that but instead of creating a new topic post the error here.

A multiplexer? Digilines signals are transmitted instantaneously and are always synchronous. The concept of multiplexing doesn't apply here. Basically, it is impossible to send two Digilines signals at exactly the same time.

[Nore]

I can't reproduce it, even with the same setting as last time. Strange.

We have a problem: mese is now more rare, so that makes mesecons expensive.

[neron]

What about making mesecons out of mese crystals now?

[keneticquartz]

Just a thought: Why not have the craft be a line in crystal fragments.
Like so:
_X_
_X_ Where X is Mese Crystal Fragment
_X_

Just a thought....

That's a great thought!

Wut? The current craft recipe uses crystals, update your mesecons version!!
http://mesecons.net/items/mesecon.php

16 mesecons per crystal also looks quite fair to me...
And anyway, more mesecons out of crystals doesn't really change too much, once you dug down you will find enough mese; better would be being able to get mesecons from other ores and materials, e.g. from bronze.

[jojoa1997]

what about 1 or 2 mesecon per crystal fragment. i would like that cause you would get 9-18 mesecons per crystal

[playzooki]

How do I change how many nodes the pistons can push?

[Jeija]

Go to minetest-mod-mesecons/mesecons/ and open settings.lua
This is where you can change the variable

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

PISTON_MAXIMUM_PUSH = 15


15 Is the number of nodes.

[Temperest]

On a related note, the setting MOVESTONE_MAXIMUM_PUSH defines how many nodes a MOVESTONE can push. I generally like to keep this at the same setting as the piston, 15 nodes.

If you plan on sharing your finished creations, try to avoid changing these settings - your machines may not work on a default distribution of Mesecons.

Mesecons is definitely my favorite mod, but the one thing that NEEDS to be fixed is piston movement, because now when you send electricity to a piston, it instantly changes to be extended, it doesn't move smoothly like in minecraft. That would make pistons look a lot cooler when they are moving. Plus, how come movestones move smoothly but pistons don't? Also, for both of them, nodes that they are pushing do not move smoothly (at least I don't THINK so). It seems possible, because falling nodes move smoothly (sort of)
If those 2 things are fixed, then mescons will be 1000 times more awesome.
Another thing that would be cool is pistons that could pull more than one node, like they are magnetic or something.
