RELEASED Nanotech v1.4.2

Kazana, want to do me a real solid favor? All the stock materials that you couldn't use to replace other materials, make a list of their materialNames from their .material file and the name of the block that the material drops. I'll create a mapping in the tech file that'll fix the problem for those in particular, and other mods will be able to .patch add materials in if they want.

 

I'll get on that in a little bit then, Presently eating dinner.

 

Don't worry about it. I wrote a program to read in the material definitions and spit out the oddities. Updating the mod now.

 

Pfhoenix updated Nanotech with a new update entry:

Fixed materials not working

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

Well darn. I was almost finished, haha. Oh well. That IS the oddity though, a mismatch between materialName and itemDrop.

At least in the case of the vanilla blocks, the itemDrop is just the materialName + the word material appended after. I dont know too much about lua, but would writing that in as a fallback be possible? Like, you try and place Dirt, and it searches for dirt, dirt fails, and it then re-attempts with dirtmaterial?

By that same token, Could you write in an error catch that will reset the script should it fail to find the appropriate item for placement?

Asking out of curiosity, not trying to make you do these things. I like coding and figuring out what it can and cant do.

 

Unfortunately, there's no way to know if a block's name matches a known good materialName until you try and it fails. I don't know if Lua has try/catch blocks, as I haven't seen any, so your suggestion to get to the ship to reset the script is a good one (I didn't know you could do that, even).

 

Hrm. Thats a bit of a shame. If only lua could use the /itemid admin command and compare against the original .material file. Nonetheless, Thank you much for the fix and for making me feel slow by writing a program to do what I was doing in such a short time

That program kinda makes me wonder if you could use that on other mods in the same way, to figure out if there were any broken ones and create a patch with it... *shrug* Not especially important I spose. Have a good day

 

would something like this, but modified, work? found this code in old StarFoundry mod..
(only other mod I had that uses world.placeMaterial() )
might make a good start on what you are looking for

Code:

--- Determines the name of the item drop from a given material name
-- @param matName the name of the material
-- @returns the name of the proper material item to drop (or false if item can't be found)
function getMatItemName(matName)
  local success = pcall(function () world.itemType(matName) end)
  if not success then
    success = pcall(function () world.itemType(matName.."material") end)
    if not success then
      world.logInfo("unable to get item name for %s", matName)
      return false
    else
      return matName.."material"
    end
  else
    return matName
  end
end

2nd check would need to be changed from adding 'material' to name to subtracting it
string.find / string.gsub

 

Pfhoenix updated Nanotech with a new update entry:

Liquify all the things

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

I am nuker19, underground gamer and mod fanatic and this is my favorite mod on the forums

 

aww in 1.3, turning blocks into a liquid (healing water) didnt drop ores

 

Yeah, the nanites convert the entire block to whatever you're telling it to (liquid or material). As for ore, I could add that fairly easily.

 

He probably meant the ores that were already in the dirt/ground. Converting to water probably destroyed the ores.

 

Yes, and that's what I responded to. I then added that creating ores is possible to add to the mod, which is exactly what I did last night. I'll be posting an update today.

 

Pfhoenix updated Nanotech with a new update entry:

Ores for days

Read the rest of this update entry...

 

crazy @ 'ores for days' update
came to report a crash error tho , v 1.3 still (just found out about ore update)

was on my ship, went to test whether swapping bg blocks would make plats fall off walls
replaced (using typeA nanites) Shoji Screen with Glass, caused Starbound to freeze .. had to kill it with task manager
about to try again... (log file didnt say what crashed)


-- the test setup, replacing section behind plats/chair/npc

edit 1:
shipworld was reset to last save, char was up to date (items used from inv, what was being held in hand, etc) -- weird
edit 2:
swapping shoji to glass with nothing on wall was fine
edit3:
worked fine with wood plats, but when crashed had copper plats.. gonna try that next
edit the last:
weird, worked fine, maybe random crash after all >.>false positive that it could have been nano mod that did it.. oh well

edit again lol
well, made it crash again, this time was when replacing glass with shoji ... just as it would have placed first block of replacement.. similar to old cobble error, but more randomly fatal

snip of the last log (from asset loading to crash).. but as I said, nothing in log to indicate what cause is... :shrug: (afaik its not the amount of mods #innocentwhistle)

error at 17:50:51.533 is from having an avali char, but not the avali mod installed

 

Can you help me troubleshoot by testing different situations where the crash happens?

 

That looks like it's from the starbound_server.log, Not from the starbound.log.

That said, it doesnt look like the server itself crashed, which means its a client-side crash and we'd need the starbound.log file to have any clue what happened. xP

@Pfhoenix, Give me a bit to close down minecraft and boot up starbound, and I'll see if I can reproduce the crash myself.[DOUBLEPOST=1433765888][/DOUBLEPOST]Can't seem to reproduce the crash Tried multiple chairs, with and without npcs, with a dozen different blocks, including cascade-casting the nanites (Starting a second, and third before the first finishes, including replacing the blocks that cast 1 replaced...) to no avail. And this is WITH my many many mods enabled, so..I got nothin.

Edit: Also tried casting at different locations around the platform/furniture/npcc, still nothin.

 

Well that's just a little disconcerting.

 

i have no trouble with mod crashing, but i do have a big problem with the mods itself.

for some reason when you break something, it keeps...breaking it. like if you break dirt, and put dirt back where it broke it, it wiil keep breaking it

now, this isnt a huge huge problem, but it lags the world...bad. like, 60fps to 5fps after a few seconds of breaking bad. i just thought you would like to know.
