    Can Mining Turtles Resume When Logging Back In?

    I've seen and fixed that exact problem. What I suspect is happening is your program is trying to write its co-ords to a text file and hitting a spot of lag, this is causing the OS to time-out and your crashing. The trick is to use something called a protected call in LUA, basically if you've got...

    Can Mining Turtles Resume When Logging Back In?

    I've got a mining script that does that too, you can find it here. Like a lot of people above are saying though it needs a gps system set up.

    There's an option of regenerating thaumcraft world gen features through a config setting. That would really be your best bet

    [POLL]BC Pipes VS RP Tubes VS AE

    I've played with AE on my test world and its epic, i hope it comes to the DW20 pack soon which is what my server runs. The crafting system is amazing, i tied it into some xycraft fabricaters with minum stones yesterday to make it able to auto-craft any colour dye I needed from any other dye type...

    My quarrying turtle script.

    OK I'm back everyone, I've had a look at the two errors posted by 1726379897 and Jycs. 1726379897 with you the script was crashing out at the fuel checking function, is your server set so that turtles don't use fuel as that would cause it. I've updated a new version that shouldn't cause an...

    Hi peoples, I'm slowly learning LUA but I've got a question for the more advanced programmers than me regarding tables in LUA. My program has a number of tables for a touchscreen moniter i'm developing, looks a bit like: local button1 = {name="button 1", colour="1", visible=true} local...

    Problem Blocks resetting after chunk unload.

    I'll double check for enderchests but I don't think theres any, as for lag its not block lag, you can mine an area out and it remains like that as long as the chunk is loaded, but as soon as the chunk unloads everything returns back to way it was.

    My quarrying turtle script.

    Wow I'd forgotten all about this thread until recently. Thanks for spotting the bug eggdropsoap I'll correct the first post, and I didn't know you could use charge stations for turtles. I'll look into that and maybe add support for stations into the functions. Since the original post I've been...

    My quarrying turtle script.

    Hello all, I've been teaching myself LUA and my latest creation I think is half decent enough that I'll share it with you guys too see what you think and maybe get some improvements. Its a smart quarrying script that will dig a square quarry down to bedrock but importantly will only dig...

    What is going to happen to FTB once the MOD-API is done?

    I remember CPW talking in one of the direwolf20 videos a month or two back now that forge is slowly (very slowly) going to start moving to how the minecraft api will likely function from what they've heard from the mojang api guys. So I suspect by the time the api is genuinly on the horizon a...

    Thermal Expansion Ore Gen

    I was watching this: and it appears FTB is swapping over to the TE ore gen and disabling all the other. IMO this is awesome and I'm really looking forward to the 1.4.5 when it appears.

    What does YOUR Power Room look like?

    You could set up a small buffer tank in front of your main tank with 2 gates on it, one that triggers when full and one that triggers when empty, tie them both into either side of an rs-nor latch, you'll have to use vanilla redstone but an rs-nor latch is a fairly simple structure. When the...

    How do I purchase, set up, and run a small server?

    Whilst I would highly recommend http://www.creeperhost.net/ they do require a little bit of knowledge on behalf of the server owner as the config files are mostly unassailable through the web based control panel so you'll need to learn to use an sfpt client like filezilla to make changes to your...

    CCraft problem for you LUA experts.

    How to stop mobs from spawning in your house?

    Hmmmm I'll need to go test that out, last time I used that trick properly was a vanilla server at around about 1.0 release and it worked a charm. It'll scupper my future base building ambitions if the mob spawning mechanics have been altered.
