Hey, there. I am really want to get into this and make a program with it.
My question tought: Which ftb packs contain this?
edit: probably not because there is no 1.5 version of ftb yet

Hey, not sure if this is a bug or something wrong in my code but when I make a Box or GradientBox then try making text appear over it there is a seemingly random chance the text will appear under the Box instead of over it. Making a spawn system for my FTB 1.5.2 server, heres the the code:

Spoiler

--Functions

function slowText(text, object, speed)
  object.setText("")
  for i = 1, #text do
	object.setText(string.sub(text, 1, i))
	sleep(speed)
  end
end

--Defining Terminal Glasses Bridge
p = peripheral.wrap("right")

--Clear Display
p.clear()
os.pullEvent("redstone")
sleep(0.1)
--Set Background
background = p.addGradientBox(0,0,1000,1000,0xC40009,1,0x000000,1,1)

sleep(0.4)
--Display Welcome Message
welcome = p.addText(5,20,"",0x2200FF)
sleep(0.1)
welcome.setScale(2)
sleep(0.1)
slowText("Welcome To The <my server name> Server", welcome, 0.1)
sleep(1)

--Display "Have Fun" Message
fun = p.addText(15,43,"",0x2200FF)
sleep(0.1)
slowText("Have Fun ^_^/>/>/>/>/>", fun, 0.1)
sleep(2)

--Fade out
for i = 1,60 do
  background.setOpacity(background.getOpacity() - 0.1)
  background.setOpacity2(background.getOpacity2() - 0.1)
  welcome.setX(welcome.getX() + 10)
  fun.setX(fun.getX() - 3)
  sleep(0.1)
end
os.reboot()

If you want to see the system working I can record and upload to youtube, thx

mybox.setZIndex(1)
mytext.setZIndex(2)

this will make sure your text goes above the box

Thanks soo much, was trying to figure this out for hours last night, great help. Amazing job on the mod btw, been using it for a couple days and im in love with it, just awesome. Got big plans for it on my server

It's in the 1.5.2 FTB beta pack.

[unobtanium]

Where i get that from? It doesnt show up in the ftb client for me :3

How do i "\n" (new line) on the text object?

You can't, you have to write a second text object and position it below.

It would be cool to get the position of specific linked users like the GPS via rednet

Use OpenCCSensors. Don't quote me on this, but I think I remember Mikee saying that ranged player data would not be made available through OpenPeripheral. Of course, he also said that eventually the mods would be merged, so we'll see what happens then.

can you please update it looks like it isn't compatible with the latest version of MPS

absolutely and completely amazing

[Kye_Duo]

wow, those robots are gonna be SOOO awesome for sentries. provided they can move and constantly update their position
and there is a level of laser shot that doesn't damage blocks. or the shots can't damage blocks with a high enough blast resist.

awesome thx man

I've added 3 different types of ammo.

Light Energy Cell (damages mobs)
Medium Energy Cell (damages mobs and blocks)
Heavy Energy Cell (explosive)

Light Energy Cells are crafted with 1 bit of plastic and 1 bit of redstone - by default it'll give 3 cells per craft, but this will be configurable to allow people to balance better based on what mods they have installed.
Medium Energy Cells are crafted with a light energy cell, some plastic and some glowstone
Heavy Energy Cells are crafted with a medium energy cell, some plastic and some gunpowder.

Of course, you also need suitable upgrades installed in the robot to enable the different weapons.

For a tier 1 upgrade to enable fireLight() you need plastic, an optical lense and a microcontroller. A microcontroller is created using a comparator, carbon, and wires. carbon is created by smelting coal, wires are made from iron and redstone. An optical lense is made from plastic and thin glass.

For a tier 2 upgrade to enable fireMedium() you need a tier 1 upgrade crafted against a focus lense. A focus lense is made using two optical lenses, plastic, a microcontroller and a prepared circuit board. A prepared circuit board is crafted using PCB together with a resistor, transistor, led, capacitor, optoisolator, wires and a microcontroller. I won't go into how to craft each of those!!

For a tier 3 upgrade to enable fireHeavy() you need a tier 2 upgrade crafted against a lazer sight. A lazer sight requires a solar cell, plastic, led, ribbon cable and a prepared circuit board.


... yeah, these robots are going to have a pretty complex crafting tree. However, I think it's a good thing. The robots are there to be used as end-game enjoyment of programming, not as tools to make life easier. I want people to feel like they've achieved something when they get their first robot..


Of course, all the other upgrades have a similarly complicated crafting tree, and the robots themselves are also very complex

Oh, also - the recipes aren't really expensive at all. Theres no rare ores or anything like that you need.

[Mikeemoo]

Similarly, the "Remote" used to remotely access computers is crafted using:

2 antennas, 1 LCD screen, plastic and a ribbon cable.
Antennas are crafted using Silislime Rubber and coiled wire
Silislime rubber is created by smelting slime balls
LCD screen is glass, electrodes, ribbon cable, a prepared circuit board and thin wire

[Mikeemoo]

Oops, I just listed the tier 1/2/3 upgrades for targeting, not lazers.. But you get the idea. It's all very indepth

[Twitch0889]

Most excellent man, Can't wait until this is released and I can throw it on my server.
