Hi all.
 
On Saturday the 19th of November (roughly a week from this post) at approx. 1900 (GMT0) the forums will be undergoing maintenance and upgrades. The whole process should only take a maximum of 2 hours to complete and the forums will be completely unavailable during the process of the migration. (The forums will be in offline mode from 1845 in preparation for the migration of the data. As soon as I have finished moving the data and setting stuff up I will change the IP endpoint and bring them back online.)
 
The forums will be moving to a new server as I am retiring the old server that is powering these forums. We will also be taking this opportunity to upgrade the forum software itself, while most things will stay the same there will be differences, below are some of the differences so far:
 
 
 
Q&A/Support:
 
The current system for the support section (where an answer is marked by either a staff member or the original poster) will be changing to something similar to Q&A support sites like Stack Overflow (where a question is asked and any responses to it are potential answers) where the best answer is chosen either by the OP or most votes.
 
IRC Webchat Page:
 
We did not renew the module that allows us to provide in-forum non-topic pages that only the Web-chat IRC client uses. Instead this will be replaced with a link to a Forum thread that contains a link to the web-chat and information on how to join with a desktop-based client.
 
IMPORTANT: User logins:
With IPS4 the way login IDs (what you use to log into the site with) and Display Names (What you see to the left of a users profile) work has changed a fair bit. You will now use your Display Name to log in, not your old login ID (should they be different).
If you have issues logging in after the migration is complete, please contact me on IRC (Lizzy @ irc.esper.net in #OC) and I'll look into any issues with your account.
 
Images from http-based URLs:
Another new feature that comes with the upgrade is the ability for the forums to automatically detect when you post a link to an image using HTTP (for instance, an Imgur URL) and then pull a local copy of that image to the forum's site directory and serve it over HTTPS. This does 2 things: It should help get rid of the mixed content warnings and if you use a hoster that removes images after a certain time they wont be affected. Note: Pre-existing links will not be automatically pulled and HTTPS links wont be pulled regardless.
 
Friends system:
Adding other users as friends is no-longer a thing, instead you 'follow' a user which is a similar concept (friends will be converted to followers during the upgrade).
 
Fluid width:
Not that big of a change, but the forums will be able to dynamically expand to the full width of your browser.
 
Should you have any questions feel free to ask them as replies to this topic and I shall answer them as best as I can (please keep them related to this upgrade, other questions can be asked in the usual places). General feedback or feature ideas for the forum is also appreciated: Post them here https://oc.cil.li/index.php?/forum/19-website/

This post has been promoted to an article

The problem is that Reika makes all his blocks act like cables, thus even if you're directly connected to a machine using an adapter, the machine is still acting as a cable and connecting itself an any other Reika-block that it's touching (recursively) to the computer. If I remember correctly the issue has been reported to Reika before though he discarded it saying "it's not my problem"

looks cool

You could try with the wake on redstone / network stuff, not sure on the specifics of those though. Check the wiki

These look cool 8)

Have you created an issue on the Issue Tracker?

That is generally the better place for issues&crashes in OC itself

have you put the internet floppy in the computer then ran the install program? that should give you a fairly strightforward menu to install the internet api to the system

you can use the component.proxy() function by passing the UUID of the individual component you want to control, you can then use it like a normal component

what do you mean, import?

Reviving (?) this topic since i've run into the same problem, IC2 cables won't connect to the converter, assembler etc. and vice versa.

 

If it's because of a some other mod that is known for messing with OC and i've been too blind to see it anywhere, these are the ones i have installed right now:

 

Forge (obviously)

Armor Plus

ExtraUtils2

IndustrialCraft2

Iron Chest

Just Enough Items

Mantle

OpenComputers (hue)

Reap Mod

Redstone Paste

SlashBlade

Tinkers' Construct

 

Any help appreciated.

Mod versions?

Possibly, but quite a few of our regulars are cracked.

Your regulars may use non-premium accounts but please don't make it obvious on the forums please (if people ask in pm, you can tell them that it is there but not on the main topic)

Also your images are broken.

Granted but it would cost you 100$ per wish

 

I wish I had a TARDIS

Vexatos would be your guy, I'll go poke him

Unlocking this topic for people to ask questions about the new server. I'll make a new thread for it when I get aroudn to actually starting it up

It's ported, you'll need to look for the "Internet" floppy disk. There is discussion on the issue tracker about how 'driver' programs should be handled, see https://github.com/MightyPirates/OpenComputers/issues/1866 for example

The problem with that, is that requires me to have squareA, squareB, and squareC already in existence, all the way to SquareN. I would like a theoretically infinite amount of widgets, and you're solution doesn't allow for that. BTW the OpenGlasses documentation can be found here: http://og.starchasers.pl/doku.php

If you're not worried about addressing individual squares (or at least, not easily), you could try:

 

local Shapes = {}

function CreateSquares( Values ) 
-- Where values is a table like so: { {x=2,y=2,w=3,h=3}, {x=3,y=4,w=5,h=2} }
  for i,v in pairs( Values ) do -- iterates over the table, so the first iteration: i would be 1 and v would be {x=2,y=2,w=3,h=3}
    local sq = glasses.addRect()
    sq.setPosition( v.x, v.y ) -- these reference the x&y variables in the table
    sq.setSize( v.w, v.h )
    table.insert( Shapes, sq )
  end
end

-- then call it like so.
CreateSquares( { {x=2,y=2,w=3,h=3}, {x=3,y=4,w=5,h=2} } )

You could use a table and then store them in that.

So like:

 

local shapes = {}
function CreateSquares()
  shapes.SquareA = glasses.createSquare()
  ...
end

Obviously replacing bits with the actual code, I haven't dabbled much with Open Glasses so don't know it's functions.

IIRC, in the world folder there should be an OpenComputers folder. Inside that there should be a folder that reads something like "state", if you go into there and delete the files the state will be reset (note, when you boot the world back up all pcs will be off and not persist, cause you deleted the state )

Wrong forum, moving to correct one.

Does this server use any sort of world guard/protection?

Looks good

Moved to OETF

But as a result you know everyones dirty desires

I wish i could turn invisible

Note: Derp

@sharpturn & @ tim4242 https://github.com/MightyPirates/OpenComputers/tree/master-MC1.9 may be of use to you

@joserobjr AFAIK Sangar is still mainly on 1.7.10 and just porting the changes over to 1.8/1.9

Negi is correct, made a sticky topic which i'll make proper later
