Hi guys, Firstly if this is in the incorrect thread I apologise in advance. I've created my very 1st modpack, got it hosted and it downloads and installs without an issue. The game launches and runs. My friend has been testing this and has come across an issue that I dont understand or can figure out, so I'm after some help if possible. The crash report is here - http://pastebin.com/D9MRbwk2 This crashed when he placed a landmark from BC. If any other details are needed please let me know. Thanks in advance. Cheers

Can anyone help?

Hi guys, I am having a problem with getting a "sensor system". The current setup is: 4 sensors, 1 sensor controller, 1 PC. The sensor controller can see all 4 sensors (All separately named) but the console on the PC (ccSensors/console) can only see 1 sensor (named sensor, which is not any of my named sensors). Is this a bug in the console and I need to write my own program, which I am planning on doing anyway or is there something else? If I need to write my own program, does anyone have a program/example that I can base mine on. I am going to have to learn lua, which will take a bit of time (I have programming experience, so shouldnt take long but getting a foot in the door would be nice). Thanks in advance for any advice. Cheers
