RELEASED Base In A Box 2.0.12

I used to do tech support for a living, and I still don't understand why so many people go so far out of the way to be as non-descriptive as possible when they're having problems but they still want you to fix it without having any actual information to work from. They seem to just sort of assume the person on the other end is all knowing so they shouldn't have to provide details... or something.

 

i know this is outdated for the current nightly (nearly 1.0) build but i've got this appearing in game all items present with a small problem and its the problem thats bugging me really.....once placed there are no wiring nodes on the scanner or the target box thing for me to connect, does anyone no exactly what needs to be changed in order to get them back ? ive searched for guides on making objects ect on the forum of which there are tons but havent found one that teaches you specifically about wiring connections, any help would be appreciated. before anyone asks the obvious YES i have pressed T lol

 

Are there any errors in your starbound.log file?

 

sorry that should have been the 1st thing i added to my question.

 

I think the errors in your log are already fixed for nightly builds by madtulip, try deleting your "modules-in-a-box" folder and replacing it with the one in this archive: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2310154/modules-in-a-box-nightly.zip

 

thnx for the reply, downloaded that file and now i have a wiring node on the reciever but still no node on the duplicater or the other console thus unable to connect them and start scanning
here is the new log

 

Go into the "modules-in-a-box\objects\basestorage\miab_basestore_scanner" folder and edit the file: "miab_basestore_scanner.lua". Find this (at line 168):

Code:

function onNodeConnectionChange(args)
   object.setInteractive(not object.isInputNodeConnected(0))
   if (object.isInputNodeConnected(0)) then
     onInputNodeChange({ level = object.getInputNodeLevel(0) })
   end
end

and delete lines so that it looks like this:

Code:

function onNodeConnectionChange(args)
end

That might work, at the expense of being able to trigger the scanner via wire (a feature that I don't think anyone actually uses anyway).

 

deleted the lines but it had no effect sorry still no node on either console thats the scanner, duplicator and area clearer all 3 have no connectors

 

Check the .object files. I expect you'll need to change all the instances of "inboundNodes" and "outboundNodes" to "inputNodes" and "outboundNodes"

 

There you go then. Now that unstable is essentially 1.0, I'll be putting together a working version ready for the 22nd but I'd still advise staying away from nightly.

 

@Storm_UK
Life saver that worked thank you both for your help was just a language change between versions......seriously why did they bother changing something like tht in the 1st place lol.........right im off to copy paste all sorts of villages/buildings to my homeworld happy starbounding guys.

 

Ok, I'm going to get the 1.0 version working tomorrow, stick it on here and the workshop at 6 and then disappear to play the game.

Hum , so as i've see in the video your mod allow us to copy/past a dungeon for example ?

Sound interesting x)

 

As long as there's no shield protecting it, yeah, you can copy paste a dungeon.

 

Ah , nice news , it may help for my glitch planet x)

i'll try that soon ^^

Edit : it work but i can't copy past a glitch dg because the wire "break" after moving too far , so we are limited by the size , anyways it help me already for something else , its like a world edit ^^

(ofc its still possible to move a dg with multiple part , but IMO it'll be better if the max range of wire was bigger).


Anyways it helped me for replace a fail background (before fix i've place big brick in wall instead of little) on that :


it's a tunnel all around the planet under lava x)

Also a suggestion , can you try make a version where the replaced block dont drop ? (for example when i've replace my tunnel i was forced to take back every destroyed block after a copy , because i doubt they despawn , and when you spam a replacement its become laggy x) , maybe as an addon ?

Edit : anyways it work well (some thing are switch but it's ok)

 

Stuff facing different directions after printing is a known issue. As for wire range, you can string a bunch of objects together to get around the limit:

 

so i can use anything (with atleast 1 red/bue dot) for extend the scan ?

i'll try with a biometric hand scanner (recipe in the mod too) it'll work like that imo.

 

Yeah, anything that has at least one input and one output should work.
