I recently installed your mod on a private modpack my friends and I are playing, and we couldn't help but get hyped for your mod. I decided, as I'm quite the computercraft fan (even though I'm no good at coding) to try and make a program to manage the entirety of my spaceship.

However, I cannot figure out how the warp core functions... well, function. Especially the setmode() one confounds me, because i have no idea what the numbers could mean. Am I missing something big? The LUA API page on the wiki seems awfully incomplete.

The mode codes are voluntarily hidden as some of them are overpowered. Here are the useful ones:

0 = IDLE, no action
1 = BASIC_JUMP, moving on planet or in space, call mode() and direction() then jump()
2 = LONG_JUMP, moving in hyperspace, call mode() and direction() then jump()
4 = BEACON_JUMP, Jump ship to a beacon, call mode() and beaconFrequency() then jump()
5 = HYPERSPACE, Jump to/from Hyperspace, call mode() then jump()
6 = GATE_JUMP, Jump via jumpgate, call mode() and targetJumpgate() then jump()

all other values are RESERVED, don't use them!

@spector171,

I am actively trying that, however, I can't understand some things about it. For example, what the setMode() function does and how many modes there are. I also don't understand how do you would actively make a jump. I believe these two are interconnected, but without knowledge about the modes i can't continue my program.

I think an up-to-date library would be useful for many people anyway. I believe there are a lot of people like me who aren't all that good at this but still want to create something cool.

What do you mean by up-to-date library?

What code do I use for the ship cloak?

There's 3 LUA scripts preloaded: cloak1, cloak2 and uncloak.

I have loaded in the new version. I still get the same issue with the cloak. It's not doing the same thing, but it'd still not taking the blocks from the bottom coil. I can send you a screens hot when I get home.

Please post stop screenshot and your logs

How are you starting up the cloak?

cloak1 starts a Tier1 cloak
cloak2 stats a Tier2 cloak
uncloak stops cloaking

Quote from CaptClockobob»

I was messing with the cloak, and was able to make a whole mountain disappear!

Quote from CaptClockobob»

I have noticed a glitch where the client isn't loading a few chunks when the cloak is deactivated, and requires leaving the world, and joining back in.

how big was your cloaking area?

Need any help doing testing/modelling/texturing? I can't really code and I don't know LUA...

Help is always welcome
There's a few items to texture if you want give it a try, notably the 2 interface components. We're missing 3 handheld tools: air analyzer (to read oxygen level), pen tool, laser welder (to dismount the upcoming hull blocks). Air canisters needs a pass too.
Warp armor needs a decent texture, the current one is a placeholder.

I ran into the same issue.. it's still there with the newest version. Lem, I have since repurposed the ship for something else.

I can't reproduce it, probably missing something in your setup. If you can provide some screenshot with logs, I will check it up.

I'll start working on it now. Would it be okay if I made a tricorder for the air scanner? (from Star Trek?)

Sounds good

EDIT: Success!!! I can't seem to go to space even after changing the ship size...

EDIT: Got into space but its lagging like crazy

Nice ship

How do you set the laser camera frequency and the laser frequency? I can't figure it out. I've been trying for 20 minutes.

With a computer, check the wiki
