Liquid Transposer + Pump - Enderchests either side sending it back to another enderchest in the overworld where the transposer dumps it into a tank. To power the engines in the nether you just need a geothermal powering two electric engines.

OK, that looks like a possible, nice idea Hunter. Except I'll need enderpearls and I'm trying to avoid getting killed otherwise it's a three day walk back home (/warp command is iffy currently). Last time I waited until I had a jet pack and then stayed in the air to attack, otherwise I just died a lot, lol
I've seen something similar using storage crystals, but it's a pity wireless energy apparently doesn't work as that was Plan B.

swap the geothermal out for a magmatic - less mats easier to build and self powered

@Reaper 392, line 22 might be your problem, try file = fs.open()

Thank you sir. i'll give that a go now that i've finished moving back to uni

thanks to NickSlash and Rroff telling me what i'd done wrong i now have a turtle program that can recover from being turned off and from server restarts: http://pastebin.com/MsGzG9mM

you will need to write a file called "quarryData" (without quotes) in the same directory as the quarry program is saved to for the first time you use it, so i figured a little guide might be helpful for those less fluent in computercraft than me. don't forget that everything is case sensitive:

1. place your chunk loading mining turtle anywhere in the world
2. label it by typing in the command "label set name" (without quotes, and replace name with what you want to call it) so that you can pick it up without losing the code on it
3. type in the command "pastebin get 11QZE8sH Quarry" (without quotes)
4. create a file called "quarryData" (without quotes) by typing in the command "edit quarryData" (without quotes)
5. in this file make 10 lines with just the number 0 and nothing else.
6. save the file and then exit it.

you will now need to write a startup file to run your quarry program.
1. as with quarryData, you need to type the command "edit startup" (without quotes) in the console window
2. write the line: shell.run("Quarry")
3. replacing Quarry with whatever you called your Quarry program. save that and it will recover from where it left off rather than waiting for you to restart the program each time

from that point you wont have to worry about the quarryData file any can just plonk it down and set it off mining.

if it tries to recover when you dont want it to then either rewrite the entire quarryData file with 0's again or change the first number in the file to a 0, since that is the one used to trigger the recovery program.


if you find any bugs please let me know

*edit*
just fixed a minor bug. It will now take the enderchest with it if it has to restart mid-unload. new link above

*2nd edit*
i've just remembered that for it to automatically recover you will either need to name the Quarry program startup, or create a startup program that runs the quarry. i've now added this to the instructions in a separate section

 

[NickSlash]

being able to place/break enderchests is awesome, if my laptop's up to running the new client i might have a play with them

could add something to create the config file if its not present to make it super easy to use

 

[Reaper 392]

i dont know if its a bug with the program, or if the server is just super laggy, but the new quarry program i have seems to stop very quickly. i'll take a look at it tomorrow evening

 

[FrenchTart]

I really hope the server isn't laggy given the super high spec it is now :/

 

[5punk3monk3y]

Not at all it's dynmap tile updating causing lag as we can't quite do a full render yet with essentials

The server when this isn't running is perfect

OK, that looks like a possible, nice idea Hunter. (/warp command is iffy currently).

don't use warp anymore it is broken but /home works just fine
so do myst craft book. Make a link book at your home go to spawn and use the
link book modifier in punkys house make it interlinking and following.

then you can store the book in your hidden inventory but just typing in /vchest
so if you die you wont loose your books and you can basically tp to any location you want.

Guys it does help if you look at the mods there and read about then
yes there is a lot and a lot of changed to some mods. IC2 nuke power has change a huge amount by the IC2 people them self's the old system is no longer valid.

We will have a list of all mods added to the server posted up soon with links

make a minium stone, place it in the crafting grid with 4 iron. you are now the proud owner of an enderpearl (and a slightly damaged minium stone)

 

[HUNTER.P]

Spawn building coming along steadily.

 

[PixieLandGirl]

Looking good. I always want to head on to the mod server for the extra components for builds but I know the mechanics of it all would blow my poor tiny little mind .

 

[HUNTER.P]

only one way to learn zumii!

 

[Reaper 392]

i just realised i forgot to tell you guys to add a startup program for the recovering Quarry turtle. i've added that to my post: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=23552541&postcount=12684

 

[yrthilian]

Zumii there is a huge amount on the server even i am struggling to keep up with it

but the idea is you dont have to sue all of it just the stuff you want.
there is magic and tech in game to balance each side of the system.

there are a lot of new block for the artistic one in the community

over time it is the place to have it that if someone needs something but does not get the system of how to do it that it would be provided by another player.

there is a huge amount of different things that some players will go in one direction and other in another and the idea there is players can trade for what they want and not have to build everything

when you are on next if myself or punky are around we would be more then happy to show you around
also we will add you to the white list if you are not on it already

Anyone got a sphax pack for the mod server with textures for all/most of the mods, or can direct me to one? Cheers.

 

[NickSlash]

@Reaper 392: looking over your code I think your config file should automatically generate itself on the first run anyway as you call updatefile() before you start the quarry.

i'm not sure if it will get confused if it doesnt have a file called quarryData there already so i figured it would be best to have people make the blank file anyway

 

[NickSlash]

Had another look at the code and I'm wrong, didn't look far enough up laptop struggles with the new client so makes it harder to test before I speak

Nuttyprot's NPSmooth is more up-to-date then the Sphax pack currently

You can get this here - http://minecrafthdtexture.com/author/nuttyprot/

I would say he has a good 75% of the mods covered and has all the major mods covered

Sphax on the other hand has a lot of WIP and i have noticed the shading on the add on packs is not accurate.

I have built both packs and tbh Nutty's is the more complete pack currently.

Take a look - http://bdcraft.net/forum/all-sphax-addon-project-textures
