Congratulations! You have asked an excessively asked question.

WTF?

I just lost 24 frames to some sort of race-condition

Aww yes.. I was breaking them while running..
Timer set to 800ms, 4tick standard repeater to the motor, 1tick redpower repeater to the breaker

ive had deployers not place frames because of lag from the frame machine.

I did use word pad.....


This is what i have in my redstone cfg file:

I'm running into an odd behavior while building my Mk. II Mining Rig. I've got the two horizontal arms and their extension mechanisms built, but they keep getting stuck after I extend them a certain distance. I remembered from a frame tutorial video that a single frame motor can only move so many blocks (they estimated 200), so I figured that was the problem and added extra motors... but it still gets stuck at about the same level of extension.

I went down to watch the frame motors in action as they were extending/retracting the arm, and noticed something weird. I've got six motors running in parallel to extend the primary arm, but when they were running only one of the six was animating like it was actually moving frames. When I removed the frame blocks touching them and let them run freely, all six would animate, but once they were in contact with frames only one would.

I'm not sure if this is just an animation bug, or if it means that only one out of six motors was actually running. If it's the latter I'm not sure how to fix my machine; I want this thing to be able to extend significantly further than it is currently; out to the horizon if I can manage it.

Help me please D:Are you supposed to download just core,Or all the files?

Quote from WayofTime

Delete that config and let minecraft generate a new one. Then, when you edit the numbers, take care not to delete any of the spaces.

But am i supposed to install all of the files?or just the core?

Quote from Airwolf

Motors do not work in parallel, better even, it only does more wrong than good. If it can move it is not the limit or else it would not have been able to move at all in the first place (and if it is the limit somehow, you can change it in the config).

Check your build to make sure it does not get stuck somewhere. those things mostly happen without you noticing it initially.

Oh, so it's a universal limit rather than per motor? I see.

The machine includes an automatic arm construction/recycling system using Deployers and Block Breakers. As it extends outward, it builds more frames, tubes and jacketed cables/bluewires. As it retracts, it breaks these and moves them back into the Deployers, where they can be used again when it extends back outward.

As a consequence, every time the arm extends by 1 block it has 6 more that it needs to move. When it's mostly retracted it can move both in and out fine, but once it goes out a certain distance the number of blocks it's trying to move climbs over the limit.

Quote from Airwolf

Yep that should be what is going wrong. you can go into the redpower.cfg and change "linksize=1000" to any desired number.

Note however that with every frame and block it moves, more power will be needed and any lag you now can increase.

Yeah, I figured I'd need lots of power. Got 12 battery boxes acting as storage, fed by solar panels during the day. And so far, I've not noticed any appreciable lag--built this computer just a few months ago and it's pretty powerful.

Edit: Added a couple zeroes to linksize and it's working like a charm now. Thanks for the help!

I got it,Thanks for the help,Now i just need to learn how to use it....

Quote from Sage Harpuia

Also, do you know that everytime you says "I refuse to comment", we read "I've an half idea made of awesome planned in my tech tree"?

That's usually what "no comment" means. Generally I just don't want all the guessing and excitement to get too far ahead of my development. I sorta learned my lesson about that with pr5 - remember how long you all waited for Frames? I have technology planned all the way into tech 4 now, but if I spoiled them all, then you'd be too busy anticipating technology from next year instead of playing with the cool things in the latest release.

And last, could you give us some information on what you want to do with lasers? Will they be similiar to the ones of the laser mod? What purpose will they have? Will they act as a sensor in combo with the light sensor? Do you plan on adding mirrors (not necessarly rendering any image) to reflect the beam? And if yes, do you have planned also ray-splitter(I think that's the name)?

Now that I can do. Might be nice to give a little information there.

The lasers mod (which was in its very infancy when I first started tinkering with lasers, which was originally planned to be the next thing after Wiring) is quite different from my plans. I don't plan to have any "active" lasers, except for possibly a high-powered burning laser (maybe). Instead, lasers are a form of short-range wireless signalling and are really intended to support puzzle and challenge maps.

I'm always quick to acknowledge my inspirations, so here it is: http://silverspaceship.com/chromatron/

This series of little puzzle games ate my life for many weeks. It's terribly addictive. Most of my plans for RP Laser are very similar to the components of that game - lasers in red, green, and blue (which is why I added the 3 gems), mirrors to reflect beams (one of the first intended uses of silver), beamsplitters, frequency-shifting crystals, prisms. In addition to that, I plan to allow the laser blocks to be used as sensors, by interrupting and/or reflecting the beams. I don't have *all* the details worked out yet, but my current thinking is that you can sense mobs by interrupting the beam, sense blocks by retroreflections, etc. That should give them some survival uses, in addition to the many interesting challenge maps I can imagine.

Quote from Nytmre

So if you released tech 3 tech now before tech 2, should we stock up on CPUs now? What constitutes Tech 2 and tech three? Motors would be a tech 2 era yes? or just anything with blutric ingots as a main ingredient?

Motors are definitely tech 2. I'm not sure there's much point to stocking up on CPUs - they'll be much later in the tech tree but also much cheaper. I won't describe the process of making refined silicon, other than to say you'll need some machines to do it, but the tech 3 barriers are going to work much like the tech 2 barriers (like the drawplate) - expensive and complicated to get the first time, but the resulting tech 3 blocks won't actually be insanely expensive. The diamond block is just a balancing factor to get around the problem that you can currently build them with tech1 components.

Quote from Meduax

I seriously expect quite the use for tungsten in the future.

It will be impossible to reach tech 3 without tungsten. I won't be more specific yet, but tungsten forms a key part of much of the next segment of the tech tree.

If the next beta test is out, get ready for a new Direwolf20 video.

I'm just helping dire get set up for the video now.

Did you maybe drive it into an unloaded chunk? It doesn't like that very much in b1 (I've done a lot of work on that in b2).

Is this compatible with Too Many Items?

Quote from Airwolf

Yep that should be what is going wrong. you can go into the redpower.cfg and change "linksize=1000" to any desired number.

Also note that I had a bug in the linksize computation in b1, that caused this number to be interpreted as around 4 or 5 times lower than you set it to. b2 fixes that, so expect much larger machines to start working by default.

Quote from zacvader

No. Use Chickenbones' NEI instead. It's much better anyway.

Oooh, goodie! I've always wanted a laser/lightbeam & mirrors system in Minecraft. Sounds pretty nifty.

When you say "short-range wireless signalling", how short of a range are we talking here? Because I for one like the idea of a series of signal towers relaying laser signals across the landscape.

Oh, and how visible will the laser beams be, if at all? Would be nice if we could use them for guidelines and stuff.

The mod is working now, but when I try to switch my texture pack it gives me this:
Also, it lags a lot for some reason.
