[bug 1.337/1.337b] Luminator problems

1st Official Post

    Hey guys, hello!
    I'm new here but i've been playing IC since the first version (for 1.6.6) came out.
    I've tried to put some luminator but i noticed some problems and i'd like to know what's wrong. I was wondering if that's a bug or it's because of me.


    I tried to wire a luminator using glass fiber and a full batbox. The luminator starts correctly but:


    1- When i cut the cable or i stop the output, the luminator is always on. Even though there's no more current.
    2- The luminator drains a lot of energy (i guess that it will finish the full batbox within 2 or 3 minutes).


    I was waiting for someone else that had encountered the same problem before me, but nobody seems to have these bugs so i'm wondering what's wrong with my game.


    I use only IC2, Wireless Redstone and nothing else.
    Thank you so much and sorry for my mistakes, my english is not very good.


    See ya :)

    There is no way of shutting off a luminator; if it has power it will use it for lighting. It has internal storage; so if it's attached it will try to fully charge (and then discharge for ~ 2 in game days).

    1. Because it has a storage of 10k EU
    2. Because it has a storage of 10k EU

    Perhaps make an IC properties option to change that?
    I'd like to be able to turn off lights when I cut the power, as so I can control how much power I'm wasting just by shutting them off by day, etc.
    Personal preference, I guess. I'd rather not have it shut off by redstone as an alternative, in my opinion.

    Umm is this suppose to happen i have 2 luminators which are exactly the same. In the config its luminator and luminator_dark.
    they both behave the same...and now that im looking at my old config - it seems luminator was in 1.23, but they i see no threads about them before 1.337
    Is this suppose to be like this or do i have a conflict? - im running like 50 mods along side 1.337b

    God blesses the child that can hold its own.

    IIRC, Luminators have been around for a bit but had been terribly bugged up until the release of 1.337. Thus, people are now anxious to try them out again and are now reporting problems about them... again. :thumbup:

    We're temporaryly up to 2 IDs to get the Luminator working. All correct.

    Has this been fixed? I'm still eager to have an on/off switch for my electric lights. Seems like a logical thing to want to do. Can't we just reduce the local buffer from 10,000 EU to like 32?
