OV scanner and Gregtech Ore

  • Hi i have a problem with the OV scanner config.


    I tryed to add the gregtech ores.. but it will not work


    I think the Problem is the Code:
    1:5 = ore 1 = value 5 no problem !
    But if i try to add Iridium = 4060:2 and with the ore value = 4060:2:100 but not working :(


    I know the Ores have values ... but 10 for Iridium ??
    No changse to find it with 10 :thumbdown:


    I Wand my Values for this !
    But i cant find any Values for this in the Config :(

    Beschwert euch über mein Englisch bei Google :P

    Edited once, last by SpwnX: Just fixing typo on the Title, OCD ... ().

  • I think the max value is 5

  • From the config itself:
    "Comma separated, format is id-metadata:value"


    So for iridium you'd have 4060-2:5

    @above : Here is why :
    In theory you can set certain values so you can determine the exact amount of any ore.
    Example :


    1 for coal
    100 for iron
    10000 for gold
    1000000 for diamond
    100000000 for ...


    Just add two zeros for each ore and you will end up with 00 00 00 00 00 00 ... value, with every two numbers being the amount of an ore, up to 99.
    Unfortunately you probably can't go over 1 000 000 000 or it may integer overflow (code).
    If this happens, just set the most important ones in the scanner, from 1000, and everything else set to 1. {so your miner can still dig all the ores}

    And here is why I won't fix it. Thanks for explaining it SpwnX.

    I got a question, why does ores have different values, if they are all going to be mined by the miner in the end?
    Just because of scanner? If it is that, they could make the scanner be like an improved version of your prospectors pick or even a nerfed version of the extra utilities ender goggles.

  • Thans for so much answer !


    No i dont want to "cheat" with it :)


    But if i sett from coal to gold = 1-50 and Iridium = 100 then i dont know it is Iridium...
    It can also gold or some redsone ;)


    if i am right the Gregtech ores cant be cange ? :(




    Srorry for my english. :wacko:
    But if you can speak german... that was pretty nice ;)

  • GT already sets ore values, so no.
