RELEASED Item Broadcaster + Hyper-storage v1.5 (p1.2)

Ah, the visible result of many issues. There should be an error in \Starbound\starbound.log, that'll tell us precisely what's happening?

 

is that it?:

 

lol I tried to comment out a line and left the first letter. It didn't like that. Alright, fixed, now I can push out this little update.

Keep pointing out any errors that occur! This is deceptively complex mod, script-wise, and there's often too many edge cases for one modder to catch alone :/

 

i've got still the same thing. That's kinda weird
EDIT: i see that you didn't uploaded files yet.

Buggy update system

Is there a reliable way to get things working again after a quit-and-reboot? The first time I laid down all the parts the network worked fine - broadcast chest's contents would be removed and portioned out to the chests within the range of reception beacons - but after I quit and returned to the same world with a different character, it broke. The beacons remained, as did the broadcast chest, but stuff I put in the broadcast chest remained where it was, even though there were chests with spare capacity that should've received them. I can't seem to get it to work right any more without removing all the beacons and replacing them every time. There's nothing in the log that seems relevant.

EDIT: Correction, even breaking and replacing the beacons doesn't fix the network.

 

Nice mod.
Can I safely change the range from 100 to about 150?
Does a broadcast affect multiple chests in its range or just one? (If one, the nearest?)

Thanks

 

The range can go as high a you'd like, though if it wraps around the world you might see the chest priority get a bit messed up (it finds the receptor beacons twice). Also wired beacons communicate over any distance, though dragging a wire across half a planet seems tedious (and you can't relay the signal).

The broadcast beacon reaches out to all reception beacons in range (closest first), which in turn reach out to each non-broadcast chest in their individual ranges (also closest first).

 

I just need it to go a bit further

Thanks,

The issue I seem to be having is how to place the broadcast beacon so that it effect the container; sometimes I have to place them in odd spots to target the container I want. My containers are fairly close and in a vertical line. They are also containers from a mod

 

That gives me an idea... why don't I make the direction the broadcast beacon uses a switchable option? Right now, interacting with the beacon just shows its range again, but it could also rotate the chest acquisition direction. Just have to do a bit of respriting, add a few lines to the code. Then you can put the beacons on the side.

 

did you place them over a chest? if so, then i think that they are supposed to be hidden to not be so ugly

 

I'm really liking this mod I have a huge home base with lots of items to sort and it makes life a lot easier

just a typo here I think: the Hyper-storage Beacon says Connects multiple containers to the same Hammerspace location.

 

you might not have any control of this Wellbott, but I was planting some fruit trees next to my container with a Broadcast Beacon assigned to it..... and when the trees grew the leaves grew into the beacon, rendering it useless... I just cut down the trees and re-wired things, seems all ok again.

edit: not sure it was the trees now, thinking it's more than likely just logging in and out or rebooting the game.

 

I'm having this exact same issue too

 

I thought I had this set up correctly, but then I made one adjustment and all the stuff I was using to test it disappeared! I checked all the lockers on my ship (where I'm set up at) and they aren't there. Help?

 

The devs changed how the storage function worked in the last patch. I hadn't thought it would be an issue, and couldn't get the problem myself, but it looks like some rewrite is needed.

 

That'd be appreciated. I got it set up but it's a bit complex. Still wonderfully brilliant

 

Well, at least I can make some improvements when trying to suss out the bug. I believe they added a Lua hook for changing container contents, in which case I can get around the complex and fragile implementation in place now. It might be a while though, that's most of the guts I'll be tearing out of this thing.

I'll try my best to make it work with already placed beacons and storage, though.
