I've made some improvements to my control server, though the latest revisions have been made without access to minecraft. Any testing or feedback is appreciated. FlightControl (startup) FlightControLib enneractLib The basic idea is that you place a computer adjacent to the Controller with those programs, and a modem. You then send that computer rednet messages of the form 'MOVE VECTOR <direction> <distance>', until you've constructed the path you want, and then 'MOVE EXECUTE' to kick off the process. If movement isnt possible, the entire path should be aborted, but the program should not crash. <direction> can be up/down/north/south/east/west, u/d/n/s/e/w, or -y/+y/-x/+x/-z/+z

Also, here is a preliminary version of my controller program, if anyone wants to try it out. It isn't complete, but I could use some feedback http://pastebin.com/rcdPpr1y set it as the startup program of a computer attached to the controller, and connect that computer to another using modems. Then send a rednet message of the type described in the comments to program a path, and the other kind to execute the path.

Oh, guys... that is the issue? Try something like this. You'll get the normal return value of move in 'status', and a string containing the error in 'err' local status, err = pcall(p.move(0, false, true))

a table in lua is analogous to a map or array in java, its a kv pair, which defaults to having 1..n as keys, and can also contain arbitrary executable code, heh.

I was going to do this as an API at first, but there isn't much point. It has to be a 'closed startup loop' due to the reboot thing, so... yea.

Cool, hopefully I'll have something to post today. It allows enqueuing, then executing of movements, and notification of completion, over rednet.

It is because that mods for minecraft are seeing a wider audience than nearly any modding community has gotten in the past. This has led to lots of sheeple getting involved, and cult-like reverence for certain individuals, rather than their work. All the drama aside, I haven't combed through all 33 pages of this thread - has anyone made a movement API or server for CC and this? I've started working on one, but I'd hate to reinvent the wheel for no reason.

I cannot explain how confused and flabberghasted I was when I realized that the source to a mod wasn't available for the first time, heh. Eloraam might have been the worst offender, but she certainly wasn't the only one. Now, between this and immibis's microblocks/redlogic, I have no reason to ever install RP2 again.

This mod is basically perfect. I also respect you for the license - I come from what is apparently a dying breed of modders, who the entire idea of putting copyright on a mod beyond 'dont say that it belongs to you', or making a mod closed-source, would be absurd.
