Hi guys.
I've made some changes to the setup program and made a video demonstrating the build with Rednet cable instead of RP2 wire.

Nice, glad to see the update. I'm going to have to use this at some point.

[roadkill613]

what versions of computercraft and rail craft is this updated for?

im using railcraft 8.3.2.0
and computercraft 1.58

There is no change to version compatibility.
The program is compatible with all versions of ComputerCraft since 1.5 and all versions of railcraft since 3.3.. (I haven't tested this but I can't see anything that should cause incompatibility)

[roadkill613]

i am getting an IO:77: index expected, got nil

i am assuming it has to do with reading the config file but i dont know how to find the error and fix it.

[OminousPenguin]

I've tested it on those versions and it's working here.

At what point does this error appear?
When you run the setup? When the computer restarts after the setup? Please be as specific as possible.

Thanks.

it makes it through the setup just fine and then reboots. but when the computer reloads the elevator-main.lua side of the program is when it errors.


i ill try to delete everything and run it again and see if maybe i screwed up something..lol

I am reviving this old threat because I think this program is amazing! If it works.. I build the entire elevator shaft in my base and got the programs running (the floors detect each other and everything) but when I select a floor to go to it says: "Bon voyage" and nothing happens, the cart just stands still. I guess this is because there have been some changes to RedNet cable and the boarding track has been replaced with the locking track which has a boarding track mode. If anybody could help me get this program to run that would be great!

MineFactory Reloaded does not support the ComputerCraft RedNet Cable API since it was updated. We've gotten word that future support is not forthecoming either.

Thank you for the fast reply!, but that is terrible news... Any workaround?

I read the thread, what are you suggesting?

[Bomb Bloke]

I'm "suggesting" that there's at least some options for using bundled cables under later versions of ComputerCraft. Beats me which ones apply to you.

Also I read you comment on that thread about the support comming back for version 1.7.10? I am playing on minecraft 1.7.10 with computercraft 1.65 Are you saying there is a version of MFR out that supports CC?

[Bomb Bloke]

No, I'm saying that HPWebcamAble is saying that. Whether he's right or not I dunno, but even if he's not, it looks like certain versions of Project Red or Ender IO offer cables that should do the job.

Basically, anything that offers different "colours" of redstone in one cable should work - so long as the mod it comes from supports CC's bundled cable API.

Hmm, Im afraid he is wrong then, Since I am on a newer version of MFR then the one he states and it isn't working. I'll look into Ender IO then

[THC_Butterz]

he updated it today to work with project red bundled cables, and extra peripherals bundled connector for 1.6.4 +,

[OminousPenguin]

Indeed I have.
Huge thanks to THC_Butterz/Jonnathon Clayton for identifying Project Red and Extra Peripherals as a replacement for Rednet Cables and even more thanks to him for testing the new version of the elevator program for me.

New version: 2.3.1
Pastebin code is still the same: VYwxa3su

Required mods:
Railcraft: http://www.railcraft.info/releases/
Project Red: http://www.9minecraf...roject-red-mod/ (Core + Transmission parts)
Extra Peripherals: http://www.computerc...ra-peripherals/

See Jonnathon Clayton's video for how to set up the bundled calbes here: https://www.youtube....h?v=S-FkfutDp9E

Altenatively see my wiring in this video https://www.youtube....vnpW-fmxg&t=247
