From my experience notepad++ works like a charm, however I personally prefer gedit/pluma-teksteditor but I wouldn't be surprised if those are Linux only (never bothered to check)
What cool little thing have you discovered today?
- Thread starter malicious_bloke
- Start date
Considering that pluma is just a fork of gedit to make it work nicely in a mate desktop environment the fact that pluma doesn't have a windows version doesn't matter.Hmm, no pluma, but there's definitely a gedit
It also looks that it uses the older interface and not the one found by default when using gnome on Debian (perhaps other distro's have different defaults, no idea if that is the case)
Welcome to the cc club
As you might have noticed the default editor of cc is kind of bad so just as a general tip for everyone that wants to make a script for cc you can edit a script in any editor you like if the save is local even while the game is running and even while the script is running. You will have to relaunch the script for any changes to take effect though.
The files are at {your save file}/computer/{your computer id}/{your script}
Do note though that you first need to save a non-empty file using the computer before its folder gets created.
Honestly I just write my scripts directly on Pastebin.com
It doesnt have the "on the fly" LUA highlight, but once you save the script it does(if you choose it so).
And then it is a simple task of importing the script into a computer ingame by using "pastebin get <pastebincode> <programname>", where pastebin code is the last bits of the url of script.
And as a bonus you have all your scripts backed up and saved in a localised place for future uses/reference.
The 1.8.9 mod BuildingBricks adds dirt slabs - including using them in worldgen! It's wonderful not having to bunny hop across the terrain. I ran into it in the Simply Magic 2 pack.
You were complaining that the mining of obsidian was giving you carpal tunnel issues. That's understandable.
The idea of a potentially excessive "cheap instant-mining" wand has the problem of being potentially excessive. And yet, the whole "hold your hand in a poor position for too many seconds to mine obsidian" is a real complaint.
Normally, I cast obsidian where I want it. If I actually want the item form, the vanilla choice is to use enchantments and/or beacons to make the harvesting reasonable.
And, in modded minecraft, there are machines that give you the item form, so you don't have to deal with carpal issues.

I guess the issue, for me, is this: The Wand of Equal Trade is something that I've seen abuse maps. As a creative mode tool, it's wonderful. As a late game "Go ahead and completely alter the map" tool, it's great. It fits well in skyblock type maps, for example.
But as a relatively early game tool that makes normal mining challenges/difficulties non-existant?

I am not trying to put you down for carpal issues. I have them myself. I think that "click-drag" is horrible, and the person that came up with that idea should be forced to have to click-drag-lift mouse and reposition-repeat a few dozen times to realize just how horrible of an idea it is. I love multi-mine just so that if I do have to pause mining a hard block (a wrist movement, or a need to relax those muscles, etc.), I have not lost my progress.
In Journeymap, if you switch to Overworld Waypoints while in Nether, their coordinates will be shown converted to corresponding Nether coordinates (i.e. divided by 8).
Sorry that this is totally unrelated and I missed the discussion, BUT XKCD IS GREATI discovered this a long time ago, but I still think it's worth posting about:
I used to be incredibly pessimistic, cynical, and sarcastic, and then I discovered XKCD. XKCD is also sarcastic and a little cynical sometimes, but the character Beret Guy is always naively optimistic (and endowed with super powers such that he always wins arguments against other characters even when wrong, but that's a different issue).
After reading XKCD for a little while, I realized "Hey, being pessimistic makes me sad. I'm going to take Beret Guy's view of life." It was a little less sudden than that, but not by much. I'm now an optimistic individual, even if I'm still ridiculously sarastic sometimes.
Here's the comic which best illustrates that optimism.
If you like xkcd you should check out http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php
If you're looking for a webcomic with some slight story elements as well with the one-off jokes http://phdcomics.com/comics.php is great
Finally if you're looking for full-on story I reccommend: Questionable Content, El Goonish Shive, Gunnerkrigg Court, and Shortpacked/Dumbing of Age (alternate universe versions of each other)

If you want mind-numbingly epic... Homestuck.

Heard of it, never read it. May give it a shot soon-ish
From what I have seen this make it much easier to make Nether Portals as well. The nether portal will match up to the closest other nether portal on the other side. Using the Translated X,Z coordinates.
I used this once to make a nether portal for someone that hadn't been to the nether yet. They made the portal in the overworld a long while later and they match up perfectly.
Yes, read it, you will. Read! *READ*

But do know what the eff you are doing. Explosives aren't funny if you accidentally blow your hand off.

This is probably obvious, but another Pure Daisy-related item I found recently is that Equal-Trade makes "harvesting" your livingrock a billion times easier, if you have access to it. I tend to farm 8-10 daisies worth of livingrock/wood at a time, so having a quick means of picking it up is super nice. (You replace it with another bunch of stone or wood or whatever you anticipate you'll need more of next)
Okay, that's actually pretty brilliant. Combine that with tile accelerators, and you can farm stacks of livingwood/rock with ease. Neat!
