regarding the EU Storage & targetting issue
i think i know where the problem is,

to simplify things i'm working on improving the lua API .. (might rel those improvments soon before the actual build 014 update)
as part of the improvments i thought about the following changes:

First , a couple of naming changes to make things clearer - instead of "reading type", i'll use "probe" , so each sensor can have 1 or more probes. (example for Probe is "EU Storage" probe. (Hierarchy: Sensor --> Probe --> Reading Example: "myReactor"-->"Reactor"-->"heat" )



from the new lua API:

--[[
input:
 side	  - controller attached side ( can be retrieved using sensors.getController())
 sensor  - name of the remote sensor ( the name that was set on the sensor GUI, Default: "Sensor")
 probe   - the probe name (eg. "EUStorage", "Reactor", etc..)
output:
 a table containing all available targets in range that applicable to the specific sensor type & probe
		
]]--
getAvailableTargets(side,sensor,probe)

i'm thinking of adding a 4th parameter - Range - which can be between 1 and maxRange for this sensor. (max range would probably be <= 10 to prevent misuse)

The recipe for the IC2 SensorModule is not working. Have you maybe posted the wrong recipe?

EDIT:

Oh I've just found out the recipe is

I G I
G S G
I G I

G => Glass
I => Iron Ingot
S => Blank Sensor Module

you may wanna fix that />

That sounds good, yoskaz! Thanks!

For the record I played with it a little more...

If I place the sensors well apart...say 64 blocks apart they function normally.

[yoskaz01]

i updated the lua programs + api (still not the final version though)

check out this:
program : /ccSensors/dash_reactor.lua

i also added test2.lua <-- will show you the eustorage targets.

Can you please use a variable to determin the Block ID Im having conflicts with outher mods (I know: Do not ask: Make your mod compatible with X)) it would be helpfull.
thanks (if you do it if not: its OK)

[theubie]

Oh my! That looks awesome.

[SimpleMajority]

this is pure epic and I cannot wait for it to go SMP. This will save my world's landscape from craters!

Hey,

you can change the block id in the configuration file.

.minecraft/config/ccSensors.config

there is only 1 block id:

ComputerSensorBlock.id=182

Seems Target it borked, cant target anything and console program target is the same. TC2 sensors dont work at all, and in the console program the readings for TC2 dont scroll down with the default gui size.

[theubie]

Odd. With the new API I'm have 0 problems. :/

Finally got my base controller working correctly to monitor and operate my reactor compared to my energy storage levels.

Fuzzy,
did you update to the latest build 014pre ?
console program will probably not correctly for everything - working on a new version to use the new lua API and hopefully get rid of all annoyances - like inaccurate targetting or improper displaying of data.

[FuzzyPurp]

yea i even downloaded like 10x to make sure even in lua setActiveTarget etc returns nothing
getAvailableTargets does nothing

[yoskaz01]

try this piece of code:

this returns available targets by probe for a given sensor
this lua program accepts 1 parameter: the sensor name

local arg = {...};
local sensor="Sensor";
local probe= "";

local side = sensors.getController()

--and  "targets" == string.lower(arg[1])
if #arg >0  then
    sensor = arg[1];
end

local data = sensors.getSensorInfo(side,sensor,"probes")
if data.probes ==nil then
    print ("Can't find probes for sensor:"..sensor);
else

    for p in string.gmatch(data.probes,"%a+") do
        
        if p =="TargetInfo" then
        else
            
            local targets = sensors.getAvailableTargetsforProbe(side,sensor,p);
            if #targets>0 then
                print ("Probe:"..p.. " Available Targets:"..#targets);
                for i,v in ipairs(targets) do
                    local tgInfo = sensors.getSensorReadingAsDict(side,sensor,v,"TargetInfo")
                    print ("type:"..tgInfo.type);
                    print (v)
                end
    --        else
        --        print ("None in range");
            end
        end
    end
end

Also the ui on the sensors seem to no longer work.


general {
advancedUI=true
autoAssign=false
card.SensorModule.APS=8
card.SensorModule.BC=3
card.SensorModule.EE=7
card.SensorModule.Forestry=5
card.SensorModule.IC2=4
card.SensorModule.INV=2
card.SensorModule.RP2=6
card.SensorModule.Thaumcraft=9
card.WorldSensor=1
maxPrivateChannels=5
maxPublicChannels=5
maxSensorRange=64
reflect=false

What is reflect?

Hi, i have a Problem, my Computer can show me any Information about the Reaktor, but only not the Reaktor Informations!(heat,...)

I use MC 1.1 with CCSensors BUILD11 and the Console!

Hey Cybergebi,

i found a possible bug in textutils function: tabulateCommon - it can't display booleans

to fix:

modify file: .minecraftmodsComputerCraftluaromapistextutils

change (should be line 56) from:
	nMaxLen = math.max( string.len( sItem ) + 1, nMaxLen )
to:
	nMaxLen = math.max( string.len( tostring(sItem) ) + 1, nMaxLen )

working on a new UI for the sensors as part of SMP changes... (and i think i broke the existing one while doing so ;P )

reflect if a special item i use to get some info out of machine blocks..
i intended for it to be a generic sensorModule, but using it would be too confusing and unstable - so i kept it as a right-click item to get current values for Entity properties />

Ok I think I ran into a bug for world sensors.

I was using a world sensor to check the value of the light at a location (redpower light). If I save and exit my world without turning off the lights the sensor will freeze with a light level reading of 14. Moving the sensor to a new location was only a temporary fix shutting down minecraft showed the error return.

i haven't encountered this so far but i'll try to reproduce and check the code..
