SNJ, sorry I cant test it works right now! Hopefully it does, if not let me know.

This'll be fixed properly in the next release

[Mikeemoo]

Actually, when I get details of this tank problem thats been reported, I'll do a mini revision release (0.1.2-r2) which'll include this fix, as well as support for railcraft iron tanks.

[Mikeemoo]

Noticed a slight issue with tanks where the tank details are a bit too merged in to the additional data. For the next version I'll be splitting this out slightly, so it'll break any current programs (although it'll be VERY simple to fix)



will become this..



This'll be in the next release.


Edit: Actually, it'll be 1-indexed, not 0-indexed like in that picture.

[Mikeemoo]

Sorry about the low quality!

Script is written for the next version (0.1.3), so I'll add the script as a download.

Hopefully Cruor or Lyqyd will come up with a nicer version of this script that'll be included as a default program in OCS

Hi SNJ,

That's a bit of an oversight on my part. I've tried to add nicer error handling in there, but I guess some things should return null instead of errors..

The offending code will be in:

/ocs/apis/sensor

you can see that if the peripheral throws an ocs_error event, it'll throw an error() in the lua.

I can fix this for the next release, however, as a workaround I recommend one of the two:

1) copy ocs/apis/sensor down to the root of your computer and edit that lua method there so it returns null instead of throwing an error

or..

2) use pcall on the sensor instead.

<immibis> pcall(function, arguments...) -> status, return_values...
<immibis> status is true for success, false for error
<immibis> if it errored, there'll be one return_value, and that's the error message

I would suggest that we return nil, "error text".

I've looked in the server logs, ForgeModLoader-server-0.log, and my client's logs and it shows nothing about the tank problem. Basically what happens is when the liquid sensor trys to read a tank with more than 0 buckets in it the program stops on that command, but doesn't crash the server. If there is somewhere else the errors will show I'll look there.

[Mikeemoo]

Unable to replicate this at all on my own version, in both multiplayer and single player. I'm guessing this has been fixed accidentally during my latest changes.

Which liquids are you trying? Water, Milk, Lava, Biomass, and Honey all work fine for me in 1.2., Fuel, and Oil still crash sensorview serverside, but not in single player. I even have the "Liquid Metals" mod and all the liquids work from it too.

[Mikeemoo]

hmm. Oil and fuel - i'll take a look into that.

[Mikeemoo]

Oil and Fuel are fixed in my local version now. Buildcraft doesn't seem to like offering item names to computer craft

It'll TRY to give you a nice friendly name to look at, however if it fails it'll give a more.. codey name (such as buildcraft.fuel). Either way, the name it gives should stay consistent.

This'll be in 0.1.3, which I think i'll release soon because there's no new features but quite a few bug fixes.

Edit: I think it'll return RawName and Name, where Name will try to give a friendly name, but will fall back to RawName is it cant get it.

I would love to be able to detect a player's rotation values (where they're looking) with this, so I can make kinect style games in front of a big monitor, and an on screen cursor. Is it possible to do get that info? I've had a look at the details of my player entity and can't find rotation, only position.

I didn't include that, but it should be easy to do so. I agree that this could be useful. Maybe Mikeemoo will add that real quick? (still having exams myself)

[tabs]

That would be great.

In return I'll share the code for a function that will take the location and dimensions of any surface (most often will be used to describe a monitor screen, I guess) and an entity position and rotation values, which returns the x,y coordinates they're looking at on that surface.

I'll need to test it first though!

Should lead to some fun applications.

Added Pitch, Yaw and YawHead. Untested, but this should make it into 0.1.3 once I've tested it

Heya. This looks very interesting but I'm still using Minecraft 1.4.5 and ComputerCraft 1.4.7 and was wondering if any of the earlier versions of OpenCCSensors are working with this combo?

I've tried the ones posted in this thread (like 0.06.1 and 0.06.3) but not sure if it's my fault they don't work Computer's able to detect sensor but when I use the sample "os.loadAPI("ocs/apis/sensor") and so on" ... I get an error. Am I supposed to have a folder named ocs/apis/ somewhere? If so - where do I get it and where do I put it?

Thanks.

With the earlier versions you mention, you can probably access the sensor directly through the peripheral API like you would with any other peripheral, so you dont need to load the sensor api.

However, I unfortunately wont be able to support you with this and I know the earlier versions have quite a few little bugs in them, so I fully recommend upgrading if you can.

Ok, any chance you could give a tiny little example that would show me if the version I have is working or not?

When I tried to update MC and my mods, with their random block ID's, my world didn't quite work as it should I'm afraid. Will have to play like this til I get bored and want to start something fresh

Try something like this:

local sensor = peripheral.wrap("left")
print(textutils.serialize(sensor.getTargets()))

If it spits out a load of junk, your version is working In your old version you can pretty much use any code example posted, but use peripheral.wrap() instead of sensor.wrap()

Awesome, it worked Thanks for the help!
