CC turtles are not going out. Just the stuff on MY MOD that interacts with the internals of other mods.

does this mean there will still be an option for shielded turtles and mining chunk loader turtles?

Why????????????????????????????????????? Why RG why??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!!??!?!?!?

[Regelneef]

RG maybe if you told us what will be left after this aftermath then we maybe (and that's a big maybe) make peace with this change... But I for one won't be updating for a long long time

In short, anything I use that there's no API for? Gone, except if the mod author gives me permission. I already got a couple of those.

Personally, I'm actually quite encouraged by this. It will be sad to see some of the existing functionality go, but active cooperation (whether by API or shared information) generally produces cleaner, more stable implementations than does reverse engineering.

I'm also hopeful that MiscPeripherals' popularity, as well as your own position within the mod community, will encourage the cooperation necessary to restore some of the lost features in the future!

Is there any chance of a trading turtle to be added?

[RichardG867]

New beta incoming as soon as I finish working on a new feature.

When the REther turtle sets its frequency that frequency is auto set to false making using it a pain assuming REther isn't discontinued to to important notice please fix.

[Left4Cake]

Can you give a full list of things you know for sure are going to stay.

[Imred Gemu]

Just a suggestion, could you make a block version of the REther module as well, so that it can be applied as a peripheral to a computer, not just a turtle?

There is no need. WR-CBE can already be used as a periph. you can get and set the freq from it by computer

Cool thanks, I didn't know that before.

Shedar gave RG permission to interact with Nuclear Control, so i hope this part is staying

There is a bug with the interactive sorter extracting from one chest into another. It appears to either put items in the first empty slot, or if that type of item is found before an empty slot is found *overwrite* the number of items in that slot instead of adding to it. I would also like to suggest trying to find any existing stacks of that type and fill them up before filling empty slots, or else the chests get cluttered with half full stacks.
Thanks for a great mod, keep up the good work.

Regarding the server hang I mentioned, it appears to be due to my turtle's program using rednet. I read elsewhere that with MiscPeripherals, use of rednet API will randomly hang the server. What I saw appears to confirm that. My program was only using an occasional broadcast, but when I removed those it stopped hanging the server.

I know this is a post from ages ago, but has anyone figured out this problem?

I have very similar symptoms, i've built a nice system with computers using the nuclear control reader peripheral broadcasting their readings then other computers using those broadcasts to show on monitors and control different systems (like turning off generators), and it causes the internal server to hang silently.

There's no crash, nothing interesting in the logs, just after 5-10 minutes the server stops, you can still move around and break blocks (without drops) but nothing is happening.

This is in SMP, MC 1.4.7, CC 1.5, MP 3.1c

Hi,

It might just be me, but I can't make a Tank turtle pick up lava. I have tried placing it directly in front of a buildcraft tank which was filled with lava. In the documentation it said to use the turtle.suck() function, but that does not work. Nothing gets sucked into the turtle. I've also tried the turtle.suckUp(), turtle.suckDown(), turtle.pack(), turtle.unpack() and turtle.place().
The getLiquid() function does not exist either.

I don't know if you have to do something actively to support the new functions? Can someone post the code for sucking up some liquid from a tank and then placing it on the ground?

Regards

EDIT: Using MC 1.4.7, CC 1.5, MP 3.1c

Have you wrapped the peripheral yet?

Thank you! That led me in the right direction. Maybe I'm just blind, but I have not read anywhere that you are to open the right peripheral:

p = peripheral.wrap("right")
p.suck()

If anyone else runs into that, it seems to be a bug in CC, not related to MP. I've reported it here.

[RichardG867]

New beta - now with -100% more content. No longer a coremod too.

I haven't had time to post that, let alone test that (ForgeCraft helps).
If your CC peripherals render weird... let me know.
If you get a GameRegistry.getItem crash, update Forge to at least 667.

[RichardG867]

Beta back up, thanks cpw for fixing the bug.
