Didn't object to that, did I?

I merely said if we disable any trampling mechanics within the IC-crop, it will cause them to behave exactly like vanilla farmland, since those will still be subject to trampling and destroy the IC-crops above them upon changing to dirt.

I'm so confused Sir but that is what I don't mind. The crouching this was a bit much but I can live with that though it made no sense but I would rather just have that and I think that was what you were trying to bring into 1.97 allow people walk on them as long as they don't hop on it.

Ok, first of all: If Eloraam states she doesn't want an addon using her mod, you are not allowed to publish it in either MCF or on this website. Of course, if you simply use Reflection or other means without adressing her code directly, it's fine.

Second, I've gotten Eloraams permission for the Silver thing. As well, the Silver in IC has no real purpouse whatsoever and merely was a test for the Forge OreDic.

No real purpose? You feel that 4 fiber cable vs 6 is no purpose

Aww no updated bukkit

Quote from Snyke

Yeah, you have to disable version checking in the config tho.

Perfect Thanks!

Sweet thanks! I assume I can use this version on 1.95 since 1.97 is a bit to buggy for my tastes!

Quote from Shedar

What other devices requires monitoring?

I was hoping the totals could be stored in chunks but if that's not possible not much then hehe. An idea would be a new block that you can place between 2 wires that gives maybe a EU usage info =) I just see your mod being used for a lot of display info overtime just because people always like seeing that type of thing when possible.

If Computercraft for example did not have a nasty new thread crash bug I would have used it and ccsensors to monitor things like how much energy total I have in my MFSU's (in a range or lets say the ones I tag) I would have then a display showing energy usage and such through this.

Quote from immibis

Or wait for me to fix it... (if you're using my version, anyway)

Edit:

Code

if (worldObj.getChunkFromBlockCoords(ffb.getX(), ffb.getY()).isChunkLoaded) {

Chunks use X and Z. Not X and Y.
*facepalm*
And that would only happen in SMP, because in SSP it'll load whichever random chunk is at those coordinates before checking whether it's loaded...

Edit 2:
Revision 3 changes:

• Fixed crash when opening deflector GUI
• Changed uninsulated to insulated copper cable in recipes
• Fixed large forcefields not working near bedrock level
• May have fixed forcefields not working sometimes in SMP if not placed near Z=0 and nobody was near Z=0 to load that chunk
• Changed TileEntityProjektor.field_queue from a LinkedList to a HashSet - results in forcefields being built in a randomish order instead of bottom-to-top
• Added slowGenerate config option. If true, forcefields are generated at 400 blocks/second to reduce lag. If false, 400 blocks/tick (=8000 blocks/second). Defaults to true on servers, false on clients.

Edit 3: CraftBukkit port added.

I always been interested in this mod but have been worried it might be a bit bulky for a larger SMP Server. Since you been playing around with it and you seen some of the things I wanted and would like do you recommend this on my server or would this be one them mods that might cause some serious damage if not just lag but in griefing and such?

This might sound odd but is there any possible way to name screens in the future? It be nice to have one reactor 1 and reactor 2 and such. Heck if its not a lot of work not a programmer it be even cooler if you could store more info. A total energy produce and such who know haha. If it goes that way you could even advance the mod into Power Control or something where it advances into monitoring other devices and even keeping count and such.

I guess it all really depends though how much resources it puts on the server to do so much monitoring / counting.

What I vision this mod so far since 1.1.9 is something like computer craft but without having the bulky computers and such and all handled via a GUI and not programming.

Quote from BillyJoeBob

I accidentally broke my MFE unit like a dummy trying to dismantle it for a MFS unit, however when I try to build a new MFE as shown by the recipe
http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=MFE_Unit , it doesn't give me anything. I have installed Rocket Science so I don't know if that is doing it, but its quite disheartening when I was about to add a mass fabricator to my factory. Any insight on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: oh yeah this is 1.95B, did something update when I had my head turned as I launched?

1.95 you used copper cable
1.97 you use 2x ins gold cable

Quote from ultimate_omega

Any news on the update (not asking for when)? Currently this is the only mod holding up my installation queue.

IC is holding up my queue LOL

Quote from Ook

Except that's what was tried twice already. the previous one it worked in SSP but not SMP and now it's just plain broken again.
Sometimes it's easier just to disable it completely.

I agree there.

Opps I derped up and forgot to post the error message:

Yeah it makes sense that forge needs hooks but at the same time this seems to be a bit of a kick in the balls to remove the hackish fix. To me they seem almost useless now because 100% of the time you will get the nasty crackling damage. I don't know what kind hooks are around but I would suggest maybe nano/quantium boots have a config option while worn that it absorbs 100% of the dame in fact they turn off fall damage while wearing them unless that can't be a per user option only globally.

Quote from Snyke

My bad! I've coded transformers to only work for the version I specified, gonna change that now :P. Update coming soon!
No mistake on your half RichardG!

Thanks

Edit: also can you check maybe was my server but it seems like your explosion code is a bit broken when it came to high voltage going to it.

So now that 1.97 is out one the first things we tested from the changes is walking on our crops or at least that is what it sounded like. Anyways its now not only impossible to walk on crops without breaking them you can't even crouch on them at all. It will popup any crop with a plant inside it but just the normal none seeded crop seems to be immune and weeds might also.

Suggestion: How does crouching down and turning into a big fat unstable ball actually help one not break their plants. I suggest you take all of that out there is no need and its just more wasted time for you programmers to have to deal and keep fixing overtime.

Very.. only made the post after I had to replace several crops on the melon farm i've got running. (which despite being a melon farm, isn't used for food. make a great vis source for thaumcraft)

edit: also note the subject line said SSP, not SMP.

Sounds good I will make my own thread <3

There was some changes related to block breakers. Now when you wrench a personal safe that is your own you will get a internal server error. This works fine in SSP and also causes no server crashing just a client issue. Also just to confirm when you login that it does NOT actually remove the safe so at this time no safes can be removed (in a normal fashion)

Quote from RichardG

That's a limitation that would need a Forge hook. The fall damage sound is computed clientside, that's why it's heard first under lag.

Sounds good but why is there an issue now though in SSP/SMP since 1.95?

If you fall at a distance of 4 and higher you will take fall damage effect but actually not take damage. TBH, SMP suffered this issue with high TPS and its annoying. I suggest if the user takes no hearts of damage it does not do the fall damage effect because when you are sprinting and running it just derp derp derp derp haha pretty damn bad bug hehe.

So falling just 4 blocks on Quantium/Nano causes fall damage (effect, but not damage) the effect needs to go not to just 8 or 10 but till you actually take damage.

Quote from RichardG

Disable sounds.

So with the new update are sounds engine wise fixed or will they still cause the performance drop?
