Problem keeping field strength up about drmon

[StalkerM8]

For me the automatic InputGate option simply doesnt work anymore.

I do hope the creator gets back, or someone cause this is most annoying

Is this on a server where TPS is an issue? Is it all in one chunk? are there any issues w/ any portion of it maybe not being loaded?

[StalkerM8]

Well since SP Minecraft is on a server thats locally hosted, Technically yes. But yea. Singleplayer.
Chunk no idea, testing the Chaos Reactor to see if this program still worked, It does work to an extent. Taking in account I had to change some code like previously pointed out in another issue, it worked and all, could interact and such and set the output and it was just the Field Strength wasn't being kept up, despite automatic mode. Now it could very well be the setup, but I used this before in Infinity Evolved and it worked. Now my only suggestion atm is the fact that DE (Draconic Evo.) may have changed a name or something and the programs still looking for the old name? Its changed a little since the 1.7.10 Minecraft version. That'd be another thing this is in MC version 1.12.Somethin. I'll test around a little more with the setup and get some screenshots. Other than this issue, Its still a great program though.

That seems to be the most common issue that has arisen from issues created on this repo @StalkerM8
This script was initially made for 1.7.10 DE. I am going to assume (like you did) some of the API names changed in DE - so an edit here and there would be needed.

The only thing I could suggest to @acidjazz is that the master branch is cloned & renamed (maybe actually named 1.7.10) that way PR's can be done to reflect newer versions of DE. Just a thought 😄

[StalkerM8]

Looking through another Issue it is the API names. PiePie had made a huge post for the fix. Now being a little independant myself I would try to fix the code myself, but I've not the slightest clues as to wear to begin. Something of an update would be wonderful so it wouldn't be such a pain to use in later versions

[spannerman79]

Well (hopefully) @acidjazz will do what I suggested (and the PR). Too many references point back to this repo.

But failing that it can easily be forked. The only issue would be a Pro pastebin account to keep the paste active and not be flagged to be removed - the install paste would need to be a new one to reflect the new github location if it is indeed forked.

In fact even if the repo branch is cloned and re-named a different paste will need to be used to keep the versions separate. Pastebin doesn't have a version control system like git has 😛

[StalkerM8]

Well couldn't the Pastbin have two programs on it? Currently its just "install" or "startup". So couldn't it have another file for the 1.12.X program?

Least then it'd still be in all in one yes?

[spannerman79]

AFAIK ComputerCraft in 1.7.10 cannot tell the difference between two conflicting script versions (a "1.7.10" script/s vs a "1.12.x" script/s). In newer versions of ComputerCraft it may, unsure/unknown as I haven't tested.

Hence a separate pastebin will be needed for any fork/tree changes made to the main branch.

Edit:
If you are wondering if anyone still plays 1.7.10 they still do. In fact there is an MC-Archive project around preserving older MC mods. So yes it would be "nice" to preserve this too.

[StalkerM8]

Oh I know 1.7.10 is like the golden age of modding. Shame though I thought it would, But yea a newer release of the script would be nice till then I'll have to make do

[StalkerM8]

@spannerman79 I can actually can't, you have to add me because "hired samurai"
