Here is a Demonstration:


Version 1.1:


GLowstone:


Netherrack:



Download Redstone Lighting 1.0.1

Note: If you were using a version before 1.8.2 you need to take your lights.rf file and put it into the plugins/RedstoneLighting/ folder now to clean up the main folder. The glowstone.rf will be automatically generated there for you.

As demonstrated in the video, this plugin allows users to wire up a
normal torch to redstone to toggle it on and off. This allows your players
to use better lighting than redstone torches for switches to light up your
rooms when you want to, and off when you don't.

Features:

• Allows changing lighting with the flick of a switch/lever.
• Works with any blocks that you can set a torch on!
• Now you can also turn glowstone on and off.
• Netherrack can also be toggled to have fire on and off with redstone.

Using the config file:

The configuration file is located in plugins/RedstoneLighting/config.properties

It will look like this the first time you run the plugin:

Code:

Torches=on
Glowstone=off
GlowstoneAlternateMaterial=GLASS
NetherFire=off
Jack-O-Lanterns=off
Jack-O-LanternAlternateMaterial=PUMPKIN

Simply change the values to 'on' or 'off' to enable or disable torches or glowstone lighting.

the GlowstoneAlternateMaterial Value can be changed to any material you like such as a DIAMOND_BLOCK

Changes:
Version 1.8.6

• Jack o lanterns have been added. Enabled by a config property.

Version 1.8.5

• Glowstone & Netherrack can now be toggled by Repeaters pointed to them, or redstone torches under them.

Version 1.8.4

• Added netherrack support. Enabled by a config property.

Version 1.8.3

• Added a configuration property allowing different materials to be used for the alternate to glowstone.

Version 1.8.2

• lights.rf moved to its own folder in the plugins folder.
• Glowstone is now toggle-able by a config file located in plugins/RedstoneLighting/

 

Thats not a bug with this plugin. Unfortunately glowstone has been made like glass where you cant place redstone on it. Not my fault at all. Blame notch . I had a massive computer Out of redstone i made that got broken by this update, the server does not run my plugin. Sorry I can't help ye!

 

Compiled with Bukkit RB 1.0.1

 

Can you please add the ability to mount these on Fence (aka. Light posts?)

The redstone circuit would need to transfer power through the fence or make them remote with an independent power source.

 

The logic is rather strange. I would think that a light source would light up based on whether or not the block that light source is on is a powered block. Similar to a red stone torch except it doesn't provide power or logic. Thus, use of this inside of a house or building is simply not viable as it requires too much space (around 3 spaces of leverage).

Also, why require people to activate the redstone lighting?

 

some of the torches dont work, they act like normal torches like it can't detect the redstone lighting up on top of it :/ and it turns into a redstone torch when its on a wall and no redstone wire above it, plus i need wireless i had to expand my town hall 2 layers just to hide the wiring and now their is holes on roof of it where i have redstone above the torch and i have to have each torch near top so it can fit the redstone on top plz fix the not working sometimes thats main issue

 

I was wondering if someone might give me a how to install this sort of tut. I'm new to bukkit and pluging but I really want to make this my first plugin used, the ideas so simple and yet so needed.

Ty.

Edit: NM, I figured it out but I do have a weird issue... I got glowstone working fine, not sure on netherack or pumpkins but torches don't seem to be working for me. I tried sand, stone... nothing else but of those two materials the torches didn't toggle.

 

Thank you for this plugin! Very interesting.

I wonder if it was possible to reverse action with the glass block, it becomes a glowstone when connected?

 

Redstone torches need to trigger the logic not just powered redstone wires

It is impossible to trigger a glowstone/netherrack from underneath it. Most of my builds are rendered obsolete by this because I don't want to have visible redstone.

 

I assume this is in reply to me ? If so then that's kind of crap because redstone torches just make the build that more complicated considering I want to power about 50 torches on one switch.

 

No that wasn't towards you. it was to the pluggin dev

Currently redstone torches do nothing. You can place a redstone torch directly under netherrack, and it will not light. The same if the block under netherrack is powered, the netherrack will not light.

I was hoping I could make a shifting maze of fire with the entire floor being made out of netherrack. But with the current pluggin, it is not possible.

 

@gumby, well... have you had any luck with regular torches because I sure as hell haven't and that was the only reason I got this plugin for my server.

 

Sorry guys I will take a look at everything tonight. Ive been busy.

 

SOrry guys, I had a look at it finally and changed a bit of the code. It seems to all work for me, I put the exact jar i used in place. I should be faster at fixing any further problems you have now that I have more time.

 

Well, I'll try your new jar but the last one I DL didn't seem to do jack for regular torches. Just to be clear, torches should work on anything now right, not just sand ?

Also, FWIW... when I tested pumpkins, they worked but changed the dirction faced when switched. Have you come accross this ?

 

Yes the torches can be used on any type of block you can place a torch against, or on top of. It is still working fine for me. Make sure that you are right clicking the lit torch with redstone, a message will appear showing that you have enabled redstone lighting on that torch. Now, it will only become disabled by destroying the torch so until you destroy it, you can use redstone to toggle it. I will try to fix that pumpkin face in a bit, I didn't notice it before. Just tell me if it still does not work after what I said here and I will try my best to help!

 

When you say right click it with redstone, do you mean place the block then a torch and with redstone in my hand, take a swing at it with a right click ?

If so, you might want to make that more clear in your videos or something because I just did it like this as portrayed in your first video.

1) Set block.
2) Set torch on block.
3) Run redstone from block to me.
4) Place switch / lever at redstone by my feet.
5) Toggle switch / lever on, redstone "lights" while torch remains the same.
6) Toggle sqitch / lever off, redstone "un-lights" while torch still remains the same.

 

Its is in the second video. Right click the normal torch with redstone in your hand to make it toggle able. You will get a message in orange text telling you it has been enabled for that torch.

So:

1. Place a normal torch.
2. Put redstone dust in your hand.
3. right click the normal torch with redstone dust.

I hope that helps you!

 

I'll try that and post back, Ty.

FWIW though, is it possible to bypass that bit and just make any torch able to be toggled when redstone is linked to it ?

 

What would you do then, if you wanted a normal torch on the side of a block that is powered. It would mess up stuff for people. The rest of the lighting methods are blocks that don't sit on the face of another, which is why I didn't make that toggle for them. If you really wanted I could add a config property for that.

 

I wouldn't worry about a config property for that unless enough people wanted it. I just didnt get the whole click with redstone thing because while you do see it in the video it just didnt "click" for me that I had to do that and for the longest time was like what the hell, why aint this working.

 

Hey, I was looking around for this type of plugin and was really happy to find it, but it was missing the main feature I was really looking for. I saw a few posts above you mentioned that you can add the feature if someone else mentions it, so I'm gonna be that guy. I would love it if you would add the ability to toggle netherrack with redstone underneath it. The plugin I used before allowed this, but it went inactive a while ago.

 

Sorry to be a bother, I have had no issues with this plugin apart from the pumpkin spinning thing, but thats not your fault really. Could you please make other blocks toggle-able as well because some people have got redstone hidden with glowstone, the glowstone turns into soulsand (Thats what I have in the config set to). Also I have a great idea for permissions now which should work. There should be permissions to toggle the torch/block with redstone, so any one with a lever can turn it on and off, but only people with the permission can make it.

Thanks for your effort and time.

 

I will see what I can do. I will be fixing up this plugin alot now because I have found a new way to do something. This way should reduce alot of bugs you may see and any lag (not that there was much in the first place). I have been looking at the suggestions and I will try my best to implement them. Sorry for the delay I was just working on another plugin.

 

Where to find the file lights.rf?, I can not find on any site to put it in / plugins / RedstoneLighting

A greeting.

 

I just wanted a response to my proposition about the netherrack/glowstone/jack-o-lantern lighting mechanics. Do you think you could add a feature to put redstone underneath the blocks to light them? Likewise, placement on top of the blocks (i.e. toggle glowstone ceiling - it would need to change to a block other than glass, of course). It seems that the plugin is honestly virtually useless at the moment because of the fact that redstone is very aesthetically displeasing and doesn't leave much opportunity for mass lighting.

 

Is there anything that needs to be updated for 1.1 ?

I just upgraded my server since we now have a 1.1 bukkit.

 

Being able to toggle from the top would be great for in ceiling lighting.
Awesome plugin man, glad to see you resumed work on it.

 

Please update!

 

Are u updating this plugin to 1.2.3? This is one of my servers best plugins. We use it all the time. I will be forever thankful if you update!

 

So I'm guessing this mod is dead in the water waiting to sink ?
