  1. turtle.detectDown() shell.run("excavate", 2) shell.run("go", "up", 5) And I have no clue what you think this will do. As it starts it will check below it, excavate a 2x2, go up 5 from it's starting point, drop 25 items from it's first slot and nothing else, then end the loop because it just went up so there can't be anything below it.
  2. I'm guessing he'll call the mod thaumcraft 3 on first release, so as to keep brand recognition. Most people don't care who made something, just what it's called so they can find it through search.
  3. Uhm, the author has dropped thaumcraft 2 development and moved on to a new magic mod project for 1.3. His mcforums post said he wasn't satisfied with thaumcraft 2, since it felt too industrial. Also, wrong section.
  4. If path stops at sky's edge and only affects the technicpack.net domain, they're blocking it. cloudflare.com resolves to the exact same pool of IPs technicpack.net resolve to, so if they had a bad route to the IP it would break the cloudflare website as well. Contact them again, let them know it's specifically that domain affected by this and none of the other domians on the same host. If they deny it, offer to send them a screenshot of the tracert results to both technic and cloudflare.
  5. What IP did the tracert bring up for technicpack.net? It's now down to either sky screwed up DNS or is blocking technicpack specifically.
  6. Then either sky is blocking it at their edge or the next hop is refusing the connection. Try going to https://www.cloudflare.com/ and see what comes up.
  7. Assuming windows. Start, Run, "cmd" "tracert technicpack.net" See where it stops, make sure it really stops and not just "request times out" for a couple hops. Can't resolve host? DNS is screwed up either on your computer or on sky's servers. Try again with the IP 175.245.61.63 Route never resolves a hop? Sky is blocking the route on your gateway router, 99.99% chance it's intentional. Probably not technic related though, but a block on technic's host for some reason. Route stops? The last known hop is most likely blocking the connection, check the name and see who owns it. Route completes with a ping to cloudflare.com? Website host is blocking the http connection, no clue why they would though.
  8. As soon as money changes hands it becomes a for profit venture, with a clearly defined minimum damages (whatever was paid for the work) and a big 'ol bullseye painted on the back of "john doe, freelance coder c++/java/python, chicago area and beyond! also available for parties, weddings, and bar mitzvahs" Money is the difference. You could be James Gosling himself and it wouldn't matter, once money starts shifting around it's legalities that come into question, not skills/morals. Ever sat in on a government contractor meeting before? Both sides cover their asses so vehemently you'd think they had the prettiest little behinds of all the lifers in cell block D.
  9. After I posted he sent me a message saying we could skim some cash from the donation pool. So yeah, he's got as firm of grasp on socialism as any other politician who has tried it.
  10. The crossover potential between leroy jenkins and bruce leroy is perfect with the inclusion of pandas.
  11. No. Hiring a professional to do the porting doesn't guarantee any sort of quality level and introduces a whole clusterfuck of legal technicalities. No reputable programmer would touch a "Please take this other guy's stuff and make it work for me because I want it" with a adventurer's standard 20ft pole. Anyone who would take the job would have a 90% chance of adding a rootkit and other nastyness to the mod because only black market programmers would disregard code ownership like that. If you want these so badly go talk to the modders yourself and ask them how much people would have to donate before they made their mods latest-forge/bukkit enabled. Or hire one of those freelancers to make a new mod that does those things.
  12. Easier than that jakj, the IC2 API has an item retrieve function that does the reflection for you. Just snag the API and toss together a couple recipes.
  13. I didn't pay that much attention, but from what I know he used to be part of the forge team then quit because he thought Eloraam was stealing from him to win. He apparently saw modding as a competition and Eloraam was using her position in the forge team to cheat or something, giving her the #1 spot that was rightfully his. Yeah, as said before, the guy is a socially stunted nutjob. His self introduction to the developers API chat was "The modder you love to have", and he does infact go out of his way to make his work incompatible with everything possible. Apparently other mods just steal his fame, glory, and praise. And yes, sengir seems to see him as a role model...
  14. Are you trying to claim copyright on a config setup?
  15. I THINK I understood what you're trying to say. Technically possible but not feasible. What you're asking is basically a complete rewrite of the server join code, and would require either storing every version of the client separate on the user's machine, or redownloading the client every time and wiping out any personalization the user has done to the mod list and config settings. Plus it would run into problems if you change servers without closing down completely. It's best to just push a recommended client and server version and let server ops deal with making sure players can connect to their server.
  16. Why thank you for this entirely new, never before reported information. I want the new turtles too, but frankly I like stable servers more. 1.4.1 or a later version will make it into tekkit most likely in the next version, but it does not warrant rolling out a new version just for it.
  17. Don't bother, caring just sets you up for trolling. On the IC2 forums a vocal group of haters are claiming the forum for their own, despite alblaka telling them he likes technic. A couple of them are impossible to talk to, some of them see technic use as akin to beating and robbing the modders at gunpoint. One has gone as far as claiming the legality of the pack doesn't matter and should never be discussed, but the morality of technic is worse than a serial murderer. Dare to not slink into a corner and die like you should? They'll just chant forestry until sengir takes notice and turns the thread into one big flamewar. I went there to post my addon for IC2, and despite doing it to comply with alblaka's rules and including full source I was greeted with "You play technic? You must have stolen other people's code to claim as your own!" Even a month later the kneejerk reaction when people learn I'm a technic user posting an addon is "THIEF!" So screw the haters. A choir of angels singing praise for technic, complete with the hand of god writing "technic is fine" in the side of a mountain, wouldn't budge them an inch. And anyone stupid enough to take venomous hatred on face value without doing even a tiny bit of research is someone the mods would just have to keller after their first post anyway.
  18. No, the only mod I know of that has any integration with bluetricity is thaumcraft and it's thaumic generator. It would be nice but alas, twas not meant to be.
  19. Ah, it's good to see someone recognize it.
  20. I got the title for posting a handful of cropcards and a black brick block. Your mod is more complicated than mine.
  21. The color API deals with converting color names to the bit values, allowing you to add them together and get a value the bundles cable functions will take. It's purely to make code more human readable, and doesn't affect text display, incase you were thinking that. I would suggest taking a couple minutes to browse through the API list and their included functions on the CC wiki. There are some really helpful functions buried in there.
  22. The color api is what you need to control bundled cables, or your own bit math. With the bundled cables and color API you can control 16 individual wires per computer side. If you add a wireless modem to contact a control terminal that gives you 5 sides to use per computer, 80 individual wires per computer. Check the computercraft forums, someone probably already has a wireless master/slave control program for mass bundled cables posted. If not, decide what features you want your program to have and brush up on your rednet api knowledge.
  23. ... Find the 32bit wire on your motherboard and split it into two wires. That'll give you 2 32bit paths which add up to 64bit. You have to do it while the computer is running, and it's best to do it while covered in water, bits are hydrophobic and you don't want any escaping before you finish. [/bofh]
  24. Woo, awesome. A plugin to make turtles more compatible with bukkit plugins is very nice, and changing the fakeplayer so it no longer has spaces means it'll work properly with permissions. No more all-or-nothing with turtles, finally some granularity.
  25. Wrong section, this place is for programmers to share information, not for people to figure out block ID conflicts. Kinda surprised you don't have the modder title milcondoin, your item stand is really cool.
