Now you actually are making me curious!

 

Im having the same problem i place one (But once charged when i rightclick nothing happens) i set it up right.

When i make a second it doesnt work. Can you help?

Using permissions your thundertower plugin, and Bukkit build 995(I thinks)

 

@Kingadams
Can you send more details ?
I actually test and it function with 2 batteries
I clicked on a battery or on the others and they charged and power like normal

 

Odd, well it usually will stop battery's from working if i make more if i break ones sign. The sign rightclicking just never works, i use essentials, WorldEdit, WorldGuard, Thundertower, This, and iChat.

Also when i try to change its blockid in its config i get a nasty error in console if you want ill include.

 

Same here

 

@Kingadams
@Shooty
I'm sorry I cannot reproduce your errors
I test rightclick and It functions on mine
Please send the report it can surely help me

 

It works for me now but tends to give a error message.. when it comes ill post it.

 

@Kingadams
Hmm when I spoke it stops problems ^^ (good to keep in mind)
Ok for the error it will show me where is the problem

 

screenshots not working
video would be nice

 

@Semirottta
What ?
Screenshot are working !
For the vid I have a very bad english accent so if someone could make one it would be nice ^^

Thanks for that sir ^^

It's a very nice pluggin, but i have an error in my console

It work in some worlds but in my default world the battery don't charge, Can you help me ?
Thank's a lot.

 

Yes I don't currently know why it doesn't works somewhere but for your errors I suggest you to suppress the .save of the world
It doesn't find the sign for the battery, it's why it spam your console (I just had the same some minutes ago)
I'll put in the Todo list to suppress the battery if it cannot find them

 

I have suppress all of them but it didn't change anything.
Any solution for the charge problem?

 

Not for the moment
Without error it's very difficult to find out what's happen
I'll work on ti tommorow

 

Same like Legomaster98
Batteries didn't charge ;(

For what i can use these batteries?

@XxBTWxX
You can use them for what you want it's for RP first

For the non charging issue I'll see later because I have not time for the moment (Thursday i'll see that)

 

Sometimes when i reload or reboot my server i can charge the battery anywhere but when i destroy a battery, i can't charge them and my old charged battery don't change the powering/charging status on the sign but the redstone on the right is activated...
And, when you destroy the battery sign i have the message 'you destroy a battery' , but when you destroy the block with the sign on you don't have the message.

 

@Anarchy219
Ok for the block I'll fix that
For the problem of charging/powering I don't actually know where is the problem I'll search this weekend

 

auto power doesnt work for me.

 

--- Release of Version 1.2.2 ---
Some Fixes (I hope non charging bug is fixed)

@vinni96
Did you write AP on the second line of the sign ?

 

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to have a redstone current going to the sign toggle the power output of the battery?

 

@Shivanous
For the moment no,
But it an excellent idea and I had to the Todo list a way to activate to battery at the opposite of the sign (I'm lucky there is one face left to do that ^^)

 

Cool, definately hope to see that (Yeah, that's the great thing about cubes).

 

You can make it when impulse powered (like from pressureplate or button) from backwards to activate and when powered again to disactivate. It will bi like "Limited Time Adder". It will be useful for complex traps.

 

@XxBTWxX
No I think I would make just a bottom activation like a transistor
The one push to activate, another to unactivate would be to you to be done ^^
BTW if you have an idea how doing this switch, I'll be GLaD to know

 

Looks awesome!
So many use's

 

@Crig000
Hey send me vids and screens of your creation using Batteries
I'll create a Creations part on my post

 

Ok im working on that now!

 

can you make the battery as redstone torch? when battery loaded ID 76 when not Id 75! can you make this?
