[Mod] Technic [0.4.16-dev] [technic]

[Excalibur Zero]

I have one question. How exactly do you set the music files for the music player? I put an ogg file named "technic_track1.ogg" in ".../minetest-0.4.5-8d4b768-rc0-win32\mods\minetest\technic-master\technic\sounds", but it won't play as track one. What am I doing wrong with it?

Place and name is ok. Is your music player powered properly?

Yep, it is at full power.

[deivan]

The water mill have a reference to the technic:diamond in the recipe, I think.

[deivan]

The sonic screwdriver have a technic:diamond in the recipe to. The water mill is working now. :)
I have unknown blocks from the rubber tree (technic). I found one or two in my game.

[VanessaE]

Moretrees now covers the rubber tree functionality needed by the technic mod.

Grab that here: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4394

(You can turn off the trees you don't want)

[deivan]

I already have more trees here... But the new version don't erase any old version from the map, is a alias thing?

[VanessaE]

Indeed, moretrees just needed a couple of aliases. Technic may need some minor code changes to accommodate it, also.

[deivan]

Is possible? http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=5559

[RealBadAngel]

technic from now on is splitted into 2 trees
stable, which will be updated with every stable release of the game (or bugfxes and hotfixes)
indev, where we gonna have new functionality thx to evolving core. also things we would like to test and try before they go stable.

I realize some parts of the mod can cross those borders at its current state and im sorry for it.
This is rather big change for the mod, and it cannot be done in a blink.
Things shall stabilize with next stable release of the game, 0.4.7

I made this decision to avoid problems for new users tryin just to play.
All vets can as ususal pick indev and have fun ;)

New in indev: improved CraftingGuide thx to core changes i made.No more hooks are needed to get them all. Soon groups in recipes solution and back of grinding and alloy recipes.

[deivan]

The Geothermal generator still with the technic diamond in the recipe, like the sonic screwdriver.
You plan some type of manual generator? Like a "jump generator" or "run generator"? Fixed in a place or a item, if you is running of jumping and have the item a battery inside gain power. :D

[VanessaE]

Those recipes have already been fixed in the 'indev' branch.

[deivan]

I have the git version here, have another one?

[VanessaE]

go to the technic folder, git pull; git checkout indev

then install it into your mods folder like usual.

[deivan]

I have a message here... "Already is update".

Have a alias inside the unified inventory? I split the technic mod in two stages to don't have the unified here. Maybe is this the cause of my problem.

Well, I have a alias in my library to cover my problem here, anyway...
minetest.register_alias("technic:diamond","default:diamond")

[kpo]

Let me start out by saying I am really impressed wih this mod!

I have some suggestions for you I think could make it even better:

• The various technic tools have batteries. I would have liked them to be made with battery compartments, and a right click formspec to let me put fresh batteries in them and take out depleted ones. This way I can carry a stack of charged batteries and only one tool.
• Let fully charged and fully discharged batteries be stacked. Anything in between should not be stackable. Maybe have a portable battery box with some slots for the batteries. It would make sense as carrying around loose batteries could cause electrical chock and possibly death :-) A battery box might make things easier to code as the batteries can still be at individual positions.
• A new tool: Minieral detector. Again a battery powered tool which with a guage and tiers of upgrades can detect minerals in the underground in front of the player. I think of this like a HxWxD: 3x3xD detection area where the depth could be fixed or configurable and a guage reporting the mineral richness in front of the player. Have different tiers like the mining drill enabling detection of first coal and iron, copper and, tin, later silver, gold, mithril, uranium, chrome, zinc etc.
• A suggestion on tool tiers: Now that we can make formspecs on items (using minetest.show_formspec()) I suggest the tiering to be in the form of tool upgrades. For example the mining drill would be produced in the basic version. Then upgraded with a better drill head and energy source but still essentially the same tool you built to start with. Upgrades could even be extended to a choice between extra batteries or better drill head or other properties of the tool at hand becaue the upgrade sockets would be limited perhaps.

I have experimented with the "on_place()" call back on a craft_item to call up a formspec and it works nicely.
I haven't figured how to change the inventory image dynamically when wieldig the item, so my guage idea got me stumped on this. Reporting in the chat area is just not as sexy .-)

There is a mineral detector mod out there but it is a placeable node and needs some hefty updates (which are not hard to do though) to support all the different mineral types. I just think the technic mod could solve this in a much much nicer and coherent way.

I hope you or someone else more knowing of the Lua language can use these ideas in this mod or in another one. The ideas are out there now and free to use.

[deivan]

I already have the mineral detector in "renew state"... This mod already exist a some time ago and is the first mod repaired by me when discovered the minetest but my current version is experimental and have many bugs.

I like the idea about batteries, is very logic.

[1244]

What do you think about single-use battery. Crafting it will be cheaper than RE battery but when you craft it this battery will be charged. You could use this battery only one time. To storing large amount of energy we can add energy crystal box. This thing facilitate storing large amount of energy.

Hi RealBadAngel

Okay so I really _really_ like this mod. In fact so much that I dabbled a bit with your chainsaw code.
Basically I rewrote a lot of it. Here it is if you want to use it oranyone else wants to.
Simply replace the whole chainsaw.lua file with this.

Features:
Supports "moretrees", "growing_trees", "growing '_cactus" without depending on them.
Supports cutting down *entire* trees - leaves and all.
The cutting of each node costs power on the saw and the default setting allows for cutting 500 nodes or about 6 normal trees.
There are some configuration variables in the top to set the cost and wether to cut down leaves or not.

Major changes to your code:
Instead of performing a (lua) linear search to find the node being cut I use a dictionary key which is faster.
I check recursively for nodes to cut down meaning the tree will (if we could do slow motion) will desintegrate from the starting point outwards and upwards.
Finally each node cut down will suck power from the saw.

I hope you like it and maybe want to include it in your mod as an official part. Give credit if you want to.

Is the timber mod in a tool?

Is the timber mod in a tool?

I think the chainsaw covers your timber mod with my suggestion above yes.
As far as I understand your code you try to get all the wood in the tree and let the leaves decay.
Basically I do the same except I have the option of bringing the whole thing down... and I use the Technic chainsaw to do the action.

[deivan]

Don't is my mod... I only repaired this. Have some problems at my first contact.

[RealBadAngel]

@kpo
Thx for support :)
idea looks cool, i propose some changes tho
(tested it on moretrees)
it should rather group dug items and drop them in stacks, cutting bigger trees can jam the game (in fact it did it a few times)

heres version with some changes to format and proper moretrees trunk names
http://realbadangel.pl/chainsaw.lua

Try to tune it a bit and i will merge the changes.

I know. That is partly why I set it to 500 nodes. But using Adam's item_drop mod can bring a slower serer to it's knees for a while :-)
What I figured was that I have to call dig_node() to get the right output instead of just adding the node to the inventory. Especially the growing mods have various branch types which all drop default:<stuff> when dug.
Do you have any knowledge o how to collect the right outputs and stack them up?

My idea so far is to count up all the different types, while removing them and somehow drop a stack on the ground once all the recursiveness is finished. Not as spectacular as it is now but less taxing on the server definitely.
Any suggestions?

Edit: the dig_node() is also needed because some of these nodes can actually additionally drop other things like saplings etc. If I simply add the resulting node to the inventory, none of those will be generated. If only there was a way to "pseudo dig" non-existing nodes (to get the right droppings calcualted)...

[kpo]

Hi RealBadAngel

Here's the updated code which is massively less server killing. I am using a few tricks to make the magic happen but the effect is nice:
Now the chainsaw uses 12 charge per node. A normal MT tree has about 50 nodes including leaves to by that I stick to your original setting of about 50 normal trees per charge.
Furthermore the correct drops are calculated and dropped in the area in stacks or 99 or less.
The chainsaw sound is played only once, not once per node removed :-)

Here's the code for you to include in the technic mod. I hope the indentation doesn't go bust (8 space indents):

Can i make quarry like mc tekkit from this technic mods ..????? Some have a tutorial video maybe

[Alfino]

@rulion.burg
i think jordan4ibanez had been made it some time ago, but didn't add support for technic. Just search for "QUARRY" in the forum search.

[LazyJ]

Update inquiry....

Is the "unified_inventory" still being developed, put on hold until major changes in MT and big mods like More Blocks have settled, waiting for the overhaul of "Technic" to be completed, or all of the above?

The crafting guide part still doesn't work in MT 0.4.6, daily build 2013_04_28.

Thanks for a great mod!

[Inocudom]

I think sapier fixed the moreores mod. Will you give the ores in technic the same texture style that is found in the base game and moreores? Is the stairsplus feature of moreblocks compatible with the building nodes of technic?

[vv221]

The Geothermal Generator (technic:geothermal) can't be crafted with the Diamond from the base game (default:diamond).
(looks like other crafts have this problem)
Can that be fixed without headache?

It does work here.
