Mod/Item/Stuff Ideas

Oh that is genius! *steal*

Yeah now if only there was a light source greater then 15. Since you have to go two down you still have to make a sort of tight pattern. But often for looks I'll mix it up with some obvus lighting and use my trapdoor lighting to extend that. But your dropping one about ever 6 blocks.

But hey no one said making good looking builds was easy or quick.

Set it up like you do landmarks for BC machines, and they'll prevent any mobs from crossing or jumping on to/over that line.

Railway tracks do this now, I think since 1.5 ... It was to stop mobs blocking minecarts or something

Oh they kept that in? Good to know I saw it in a snapshot vid but but since it was not talk about since I figured it was one of them tried then dropped fetures.

Saice just put wraith lamps under the trap doors.

They are not more then 15 and they have issues with how there ghost light blocks work and interact with other mods. I advoid them.

 

[the_j485]

Ah, right. that's a problem then. But really, it can't be that bad to have completely invisible lighting, even if you do need them close together.

Unless he wants to grow things. Although I suppose he could grow his stuff first, but farms and such would still get messed up.

Put it in the walls? Or ceilings?

Well, if there was a bio-research mod, then part of it would be to make musk's and repellents for all the different mobs. Place them in an area, and they will either attract or repeal mobs in that area.

Sounds like me with AE, forth and lua:

FORTH still confounds me...mostly because I haven't bothered to build a RP2 computer, yet. But, honestly...the only thing I can see the RP2 computer having over CC computers is that the former can interface with sortrons, big friggin whoop. With CC and turtles, I could theoretically automate ALL the things, if such a feat wouldn't lag the everloving hell outta me, that is.

 

[the_j485]

Yeah, it's ironic really, that computercraft was inspired by Eloraam's plans for computers, and now it's more popular.

 

[Lambert2191]

Right because when you have such a huge mod that encompasses ALL the things, and someone decides to make a derivative mod based on ONE of those things, it's sooo surprising when it turns out better.
I'd say if someone took the frame idea and said "I will make an entire mod out of this idea" and EVERYTHING in that mod is utterly dedicated to frames, then that mod's frames will be better.
Yes CC is better but it's no fucking wonder, it's not ironic, it's just common sense.

 

[Saice]

I agree with Lambert. In a less abrasive tone.

Yes something that speicalizes tends to be better then something that generilizes. Its the focus that in the end makes it better.

Or as my english teacher used to say (totaly unrlated to english but he was a cool guy). You can chose to be good at many things or you can chose to be great at one thing.

 

[brujon]

Or, also known as, Jack of all trades, king of none. Or master of none. The saying varies by location.

 

[natnif36]

The Jack of all trades kind of analogy?
Also, the main issue with Forth for many peopl is that there are so few tutorials and information on it, compared to the vast amount available for lua, and also several for CC specifically.
If RP computers received more documentation, they would be just as "good" as CC ones, ESP with the sortron.
CC however excels due to turtles.

 

[Saice]

If either went for PERL I'd be all over that.

 

[Lambert2191]

isn't LUA a language already and not just invented by CC?

 

[natnif36]

That's the point, that's why it's so good - there are many courses online available for it, and a lot of documentation.

The only person I have seen using these (Inc dire) is Duncan of the Yogscast, when e used one in tekkit for his frame door.

Also, hopefully Dan200 intergrates CC with MFR rednet soon, similar to the previous linking with RP2 bundled cable.

According to KingLemming Lua lacks braces however, which is a no-go for him.
