a shame


already burning with ideas for possible things to build in new chasmtown (or wherever we the main hub will go)

[shadowsofwhite]

I am okay with a fresh map.  I will just remake the hall of heroes, on the surface, or in another chasm!  I have actually been working on mockups to do it better.

About endermen, though... I don't want them to pick up less blocks because I want them to pick up no blocks at all (or maybe only when aggro'd).

I like the look of everything else that is coming out in the update, though!

This, exactly. Or at the very least have an option to disable them picking up blocks.

I imagine a server mod to disable them picking up blocks will probably be out in the ways of a creeper-protect system.

Spoiler: Grumble grumble. (click to show/hide)

So I made my design in offline mode, and found a few issues.
It technically works, but its not worth the trouble.
For some reason, I thought pistons could push 16 blocks, not 12. As a result, you can't really fit a middle floor on one loop.
Also, the idea I had for a block detector in a vertical stack didn't work, which meant I had to widen the loop, and have the detectors on the horizontal section.
Also, the wiring is a bitch. That said, I can probably shrink that a lot, I was originally avoiding torches because I was using a clock fast enough to short them.
ALSO, I don't have a mouse for my lappy, and the touch pad is a steaming pile of failure.

New plan; rather than using a control loop system, use a mechanical counter to govern the number of piston pushes. If my ideas are right, it should simplify matters a lot, and scale well to multiple heights.

If you do decide to update, at least post some pics of this chasmtown I keep hearing about first

I am also trying to work out a way to have the pistons push for a set amount of time then stop. Each floor I have is around 6 blocks apart. That means I am trying to work out how to send a pulse down the wires 6 times then stop. And then make another that sends for 12 to get to the top floor.

A counter is easy enough, check out the minecraft wiki page on T-flipflops for example. Make it so that the counter blocks the clock when it reaches the desired number, and after the point where the counter blocks out the clock, have a feed that detects the clock running back to progress the counter. That way, every time the clock ticks, the counter advances, up until it maxes out, at which point the counter shields itself. Then, hook a button up to the counter as well; the button will be able to progress the counter even when the clock is shielded, so that it rolls over and starts again.

Code: [Select]

          Counter---Button
          |   |
   output |   |counter input
          |   |
[Clock]---+---+---[Piston]

Also, it should be possible to reuse most of that circuit that for higher floors by adding a single second counter that basically makes the first one repeat itself once.

Using the elevator loop itself you should be able to create a sort of ROM though you would have to reduce the elevator to only have one or two lifts in it though since it will be stopping at floors this may be for the best. With two lifts at opposite ends so that when one is at the top and the other is at the bottom would be enough.

[Neyvn]

I am thinking that going back to my original design which was a spiral step lift. Bottom pushes you up another pushes you to the side and rinse and repeat until you reach the top. Would be a better choice. Fastest Elevator in tinkertown which doesn't kill you if you lag behind like another which has a GIANT drop beneath you...

Maybe something craftable using the ender pearl that once placed stopped them from lifting blocks within a certain area?

I'm just getting interested in redstone and dread them messing things up.

That's the method I was grumbling about, see my post on the other page. It works, but it doesn't work well.

All 3 elevators.
In this vid I show off the 3 different elevators. The first is my rough as bones one, still need to be fully rebuilt and wired. 2nd is the Fail and Die one built by someone else. And the last is the vertical one as both the original and and the 3 story one...

Don't know why the sound flickers so best just mute me, I ain't saying anything interesting...

Stany, I made your egg timer work.  It counts to 16 and terminates, as requested.  Slightly smaller, too.

Sigh I guess I did something wrong or there is a longer time before I can get accepted for the whitelist...
