    i just updated my craftbukkit and the plugin stopped working.
    im using craftbukkit 465..
    can you try to fix it?

    I'm pretty sure that the new craftbukkit versions have changed something. When the author see this, I'm sure they will release an update. I'm sure as of now, the plugin developer is probably working on an update as we speak.

    I finally managed to upload and update everything. Updated to work with latest craftbukkit build, some new circuits, some command tweaks and now you can build a chip with any block type you want (say goodbye to sandstone or whatever you were using).
    The plugin should find out if you're trying to activate a chip that's too big (if you're trying to activate the whole ground dirt for ex.) but let me know if the relaxed rules cause any problems :)
    Any block you can attach a sign to should work except a block type that's already used for some other function like input block or output block or sand and gravel.

    Special thanks to needspeed10 and shamebot for testing and suggesting new ideas.

    I want to use this occasion to ask you guys for some more help with donations. It's been a long time since anyone helped out while the number of downloads has grown considerably since than.
    I also plan to put some google ads on the website soon so I would appreciate any clicks :)
    I hope you don't find it as disgusting as I do...

    And last but not least, I made a new video showing how to use the print circuit for scrolling text. I hope it's clear and sorry about the brightness.

    Nothing wrong with google ads. They're pretty unobtrusive, and can bring in some income, so no complaints there.

    Could it be possible in the future to use different colored wool as the component blocks? So, for example, use WOOL_BLOCK:BLUE for my interface block?

    Could be possible theoretically, although it will require quite a lot of work just for this special case.

    hi :)
    First of all, i LOVE your plugin.
    I think it's the most usefull plugin for bukkit so far.

    I just have some problems when it comes to building my own Chips using your template.
    When I try to build the Template it just outputs a bunch of errors:

    It seems like somehow the RedoneChips.jar is missed..

    Is there any solution to this? Would be really awesome, since i really would like to make some new stuff :)

    How are you trying to build it exactly? Are you using an IDE or straight from the command line?
    You probably don't have RedstoneChips-0.82.jar in your maven repository.
    If you have git installed, the easiest thing would be to recompile RedstoneChips.
    Run these from the command line:
    Code:
    git clone [email protected]/eisental/RedstoneChips
    cd RedstoneChips
    mvn package install
    
    The last command should compile it and copy it into the maven repository. After that, building it should work (I hope). I realize a proper guide would be helpful, but I don't have one yet ;)

    Re wool colors: Ouch. Yeah, if it's not a simple job, probably not worth it then. I was just hoping to be able to make circuits cheaper (gold comes to mind) without giving up the bright colors to make it easy to see what my circuit is doing at a glance.

    This plugin is so awesome! My friends and I are CS majors so we love this sort of thing. If I could make a request though, would you make an option in the daytime circuit to give gametime minutes? The conversion factor is easily obtained to be 16.66666 ticks/1 min, and despite how fun it might be to figure out how to do the division using redstone, it would be much less annoying to have it done in the plugin code.

    Well, I'm not sure how to help. Can you explain exactly how are you trying to build it? A diagram would help...
    --- merged: Mar 3, 2011 12:23 AM ---
    Thanks, glad you like it. I guess I could add the minutes, didn't think of any uses for that. Are you building a clock? :)

    Updated to SensorLibrary-0.21
    daytime can output game minutes. Made some other small changes to daytime time field argument. Check the docs if you're having any problems.

    First I have to say it's an awsome plugin :D

    But something bothers me...

    I've tried to address a large number off outputs with one or two inputs (via an or) but this doesn't work.
    Is there a way to translate the state of one input to an huge number of outputs?
     
  20. Offline

    eisental

    If I understand what you mean, you can use the router for that but it won't be very convenient since you have to specifically say on the sign which input to route to which output(s), and you would need to trigger the 1st input (clock) to update the outputs. I could make a repeater circuit that copies the state of 1 input to any number of outputs. Would that help?

    xXLupoXx

    Yes this would be very usefull, thanks!

    Trying to load this plugin, regardless of which version of CB we use, and even with absolutely no other plugins running, both BasicCircuits and SensorLibrary produce an unable to load error. The base plugin loads fine, however.

    Pretty much the same thing as this poster, only the base plugin actually loads.

    I need a copy of the exact error you're getting. If it's EXACTLY the same as the one you quoted, it means you're using an old RedstoneChips version. If you do, though I doubt it, make sure to install the latest version and see if it still happens.

    After further testing, it looks like the issue was that the filenames being changed to omit the version number was the issue.

    On our server, we keep version numbered copies of all plugins in another directory, then symlink them into the plugins folder, so changing versions and keeping track of which one is installed becomes much simpler. Funny thing is that I tried changing the filenames back to normal before, but it never worked last night. For some reason it decided to work this time though, so all seems to be fine, we just broke the standard procedure we use for this plugin.

    eisental

    Yes, you must keep RedstoneChips-0.xx.jar with the same filename otherwise BasicCircuits and SensorLibrary won't know where it is. You can change the library filenames to whatever you want.
    I hope to solve this in some future release but I don't want to make it harder to code circuit libraries by using some hackish solution.

    Issue with RedstoneChips 0.82/0.82/0.21 on Craftbukkit 493 (I see that you aren't advertising 493 so feel free to ignore me here)

    My issue is that circuits are deactivating on server restart.
    In addition to RC, I'm running ControllerBlock 1.14, Permissions 2.5.2, General 1.2.1.2, and MultiVerse 1.5.
    Working in an alternate world called "creative".
    The test circuit is a simple xor gate. 2 inputs, one output. When simply playing, it works exactly as expected. However, when I stop and start the server, the circuit deactivates and is forgotten. I can activate it again with a right-click and it starts working again. No errors in the log, but here it is if its useful. I note that it always says "0 active circuits".

    Do you have a RedstoneChips folder in the plugins folder? What's the folder exact name? Do you see anything in your redstonechips.circuits file?
    I don't think this has anything to do with 493. I'm running on 497 at the moment and it works fine. Maybe some problem with filenames.

    mr.m

    First, I love this plugin! Thank you very much!

    But i noticed some strange behavior of the srnor circuits. I use this plugin together with Controller Blocks to control a Minecart system. I have 3 Buttons for 3 directions, every button goes on one input on a srnor circuit. With the help of a controller block the matching rails are spawned. That works all great, but after a server restart i have to toggle 2 times to get it working again. So it seems the state of the circuit isnt saved properly.

    In that case its not that bad, because its no problem to toggle a few times, but i also have a srnor latch which gets its input from a MinecartMania sensor. This circuit is not really comfortable to reset, because I have to trigger two sensors witch a minecart ;)

    Oh and I'm running Craftbukkit 440 and Redstone Chips 0.82.
