Hey I just wanted to say that I love this mod and I think this is an epic idea. I decided to go ahead and try it out and liked it for the most part.
Bugs found:
[*:31wyjqhg]If I saved the game then quit and reopened the game the chests still worked but any item in them was gone.
[*:31wyjqhg]Sometimes going to the pause menu made the chests stop working.
[*:31wyjqhg]Per row chest filtering absorbs all blocks and does not filter, will add any block of the same kind to an existing stack but other blocks will be on same row.
[*:31wyjqhg]Sometimes when trying to add an item to the chest it pops out of your hand or flat out disappears.
[...]
Ideas:
[*:31wyjqhg]Modify the chest GUI and add a slot for the software dvd so you have to add the dvd for it to work the software?
[*:31wyjqhg]Double Magic Chests for double the capacity?
[*:31wyjqhg]Furnace software controls multiple furnaces?
[*:31wyjqhg]Storage minecart transfers items into a magic chest upon collision?
Thanks for the review. I updated Magic Chest and bug #1 and #2 should be fixed, if not, please tell me. I´ll try to reproduce bug #3. Could you explain bug #4 further?
I like the idea of putting in a Software. It goes on my list. Great idea !
The furnace software should control multiple furnaces, but I haven´t tested yet.
I will think about the last idea, when I made the storage minecart take up dropped stuff as well.

Sounds great, though I won't download it yet due to all the bug reports. Can't wait for that to be fixed. How about a program that allows the chest to output items (Perhaps due to redstone current?)? And also one that can automatically craft. And of course, an incinerator program, which would cause the chest to destroy any items that match the one in a certain slot. And why not, how about one that slowly grows plants put inside? (Cactus+Sugar cane+pumpkin+mushroom counts increase gradually, seeds turn to wheat/more seeds, cobblestone becomes mossy) And another one! How about one that can take in cobble and ingots/coal/diamonds/lapis/redstone and compress it back into ore form? I will bookmark this thread, and definitely download when the bugs are kinked out.
Great ideas! Yes!
But the automatic crafting software could be impossible. :wink.gif:
Updated Magic Chest. Saving bugs should have been gone, thank ZeuX and his reobfuscation debugging advice =D (It works for me now)
I really wish there was some way to rep up.. but since we can't 999x for you. This mod is now on my must have list =) can't wait to see what else you come out with.. keep up the great work
Hey, could you please post an Adf.ly mirror on mediafire? my computer doesnt like that german site that the download is on right now...
It´s my own domain, but I added a Media Fire link above.

Hehe, ty =D
More to come. Softwares are very extensible :wink.gif:
I'd like to see this combined with Redstone chests or at least have a 'software' that enables it.
I also think a good idea would be to have the capacity to inform the player when it's full (a "ding" or something along those lines) because it'll be used primarily for mob traps.
I was also thinking about some sort of connection to other chests nearby so that it could either A) fill a nearby chest with its overflow or :cool.gif: transport all the items from itself to a nearby chest when it's full. This would negate the previous suggestion, obviously.
Well, for the automatic crafting software, you put the items you want to craft in a 3*3 grid on the left part of the chest. Then, it outputs the result somewhere else in the chest. It will leave at least one of each the items you placed to make the recipe, but it will look through the chest's inventory to see if other items that are part of the recipe are in there, and will use those to craft the thing you want to make. Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I might try posting a picture of what I mean later.
EDIT: Also, could you please consider putting up a changelog, and another idea for software! How about one that makes the chest immune to TNT? Ofc the recipe would use obsidian. And maybe one that would draw in liquids from outside and store them in buckets inside the chest? And one that would kill mobs that touched it on contact, and put their drops into the chest? Wow, I guess I'm a fountain of ideas. These chests just have so much potential!Great idea, aero :biggrin.gif:
EDIT EDIT: How do you open a chest with software on it if that removes the disc? Maybe you could make it so that if you rightclicked only with a stick, then the discs would pop out. Just one more idea.
You finished it :biggrin.gif: Thanks heaps for making this! Im glad heaps of people like it :biggrin.gif:
You did a great job :biggrin.gif: im downloading it now ;D haha
Thanks again!! :biggrin.gif:
EDIT:
Wow awesome! :biggrin.gif: i dont seem to have any bugs of yet XD It works really well :biggrin.gif: im probably going to be swapping all my chests for this :biggrin.gif:
First, thanks for the great ideas!
I will add a "more to come" and changelog section soon.
But I will explain the next things I will do here:
Fix Bugs - Of course =D More Redstone support - The chest emits redstone current, when it is full. I will add a software which switches the "Sort on current"-function to a "Drop all stuff on current"-function. Cool new Software - Transmission of items between chests: Think about a sender and a receiver. Kill mobs on collision, automatic crafting, immunity, more... and more... Alternatives for lazy people - I will add unbalanced recipes for lazy people. No need to make a Magic Lock anmyore :wink.gif: GUI - I will add a GUI for the chest. You can now put a disk into a slot of the chest and switch between filtering options. New Filtering - A furnace filtering. 1st row material, 2nd row fuel, 3rd row nothing
I also look for programmers, who can add some software! It´s so much =D

I do have one question about the software? do you right click with it on the chest or the furnace? I tried the chest and it crashed..
Right click on the Magic Chest.
I could not reproduce the error. Could you please add an error log?
Well, I know a bit of java, but I haven't managed to mod MC yet. I might try and make some new programs for the magic chest, since it sounds really cool.
did some playing around, and with it set up as right clicking on the chest with the software it does nothing so I tried still nothing, then for the fun of it I tried and it crashes. Modloader doesn't pick up on the error and Minecraft closes too quick to get the error from that. So I have no clue lol going to do a fresh install of the mod and see if one of the files got overwrote or something.
edit: tried fresh install and nothing =/ ooh well this still is a great mod even with out that.. :happy.gif:

Please try the troubleshooting guide in the OT, so I can actually get an error log.
If you follow the link at the end of the Troubleshooting section, you get to a post by msmit, which explaing, how to start minecraft in the console to get the error.

Work in progress.
BTW: You can also do one =D

Just my thoughts.
for you and this mod, good sir.

Do you use any other mods?
