  Proposal for Comprehensive Redstone Tutorial
Posted by: _JELLy__ - 09-16-2016, 11:49 PM - Forum: General - Replies (20)

Hello,

As you know, I use redstone, a lot. And often I see players not abusing this wonderful resource to achieve automation to the highest degree, or to create magnificent machines for all the situations one would encounter. 

Even more often, I see players misuse redstone; not understanding the rules of redstone, what its components actually do, the finer details of interactions between the components, and not able to translate between physical actions and redstone signals. 

Hence, I am inclined to create a comprehensive redstone guide, for every audience of every level of redstone engineering.

  • Beginner? I will have a dummy's guide to redstone for intro. 
  • Intermediate? I will excel your redstone knowledge.
  • Expert? I will patch up the last bit of leaks, or perhaps you can patch mine. 
I shall have an in-game area for visual and practical understanding, and have the texts be written either on the forums or in word files. 


Now, I am certainly not the best at redstoner out there, but perhaps I can bring you a tutorial that is close to the server, and close to your heart. Smile

The Draft of the Plan so far.
Suggest anything that you will like to see. I have thought about the flow of the tutorial and that is unchangeable. 

1. Basics 
1.1  What is redstone? What does it do? (some examples to wet the appetite). 
1.2  Solid and transparent blocks (This is VERY important, as redstone always revolve around these blocks)
1.3  Names of the Redstone components classified into Power Sources, Power Carriers, and Action Components. 
1.4  Redstone power level (power value 0 to 15)

2. Components (this will be almost comprehensive in info of mechanics and behaviour) 
2.1 Power Sources
2.1.1 Redstone Torch 2.1.2 Lever 2.1.3 Both Buttons 2.1.4 Redstone block 2.1.5 Tripwire 2.1.6 All pressure plates 
2.1.7 Trapped chest 2.1.8 Daylight Sensor

2.2 Power Carriers
2.2.1 Redstone dust 2.2.2 Repeator 2.2.3 Comparator

2.3 Action Components
2.3.1 Doors 2.3.2 Gates 2.3.3 Trapdoors 2.3.4 Piston 2.3.5 Sticky piston 2.3.6 Dispensers 2.3.7 Dropper 2.3.8 Hopper
2.3.9 Redstone lamp 2.3.10 TNT 2.3.11 Noteblock

3. Basic circuits

3.0 Pulse Manipulation
3.0.1 Monostable Circuits 3.0.2 Edge detectors 3.0.3 Pulse extender (3.0.4 Pulse length detector?)

3.1 Transmission 
3.1.1 Horizontal transmission 3.1.2 Upward transmission 3.1.3 Downward transmission (3.1.4 Dustless transmission?)

3.2 Logic (gate names)
3.2.1 NOT 3.2.2 OR 3.2.3 AND 3.2.4 NOR 3.2.5 NAND 3.2.6 XOR 3.2.7 XNOR

3.3 Memory (this is quite and important topic)
3.3.1 Set/Reset Latch (RS latch) 3.3.2 RS-NOR Latch 3.3.3 T Flip-flop 3.3.4 Signal memory loops

3.4 Clocks
3.4.1 Torch clocks 3.4.2 Hopper clocks 3.4.3 Decay clock (my fav) 3.4.4 Rapid Pulse clocks 3.4.5 Piston clocks

4. Rails
4.1 Rail Components and Interactions with Redstone 
4.1.1 Rail 4.1.2 Powered rails 4.1.3 Detector rails 4.1.4 Activator rails 4.1.5 All minecarts 

5. Problem solving and Planning
This section will include tutorial on how to design redstone circuits to solve specific problems and design machines to accomplish your needs. This is more thinking based, cold and logical programming basically. It will also include tips for compacting your creations.

well, the title isn't entirely true because I started high school a few weeks ago and that's why I'm not on anymore. sorry guys ilysm but school is really important to me. I also wanted to say I got the lead role in a dance production of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and I'm hella excited!! hope to talk again soon. love you guys a lot! [HEAVY BLACK HEART]️

Is anybody else having trouble logging into servers? currently for some damn reason I can only log into Hypixel, every single other server I try says "Failed To Verify Username" and "The server you were in previously went down and you were sent to the lobby"

  Ban Appeal
Posted by: xReverso - 09-16-2016, 06:13 AM - Forum: Ban Appeals - Replies (1)

Server you were banned on (SMP): HomeTownMC
Minecraft name: xReverso
Reason for your ban: Honestly, I don't know why I was banned! I was first kicked saying: "Connection Lost: no." Then when I got back on I was banned for: "lude comments". I don't think I said anything lude. If what he/she meant by "whalecum!" was lude, then he/she was surely mistaken...
Who banned you: vilneas
Why should you be unbanned: I think I should be unbanned because honestly, I don't think I did anything wrong, and if I did, I sincerely apologize.


Why do you want to come back: I started this server a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it so far. I worked really hard and I don't want my progress to wither for none to see. Please, take this into consideration... I hope to join the server again.


NOTE: I have NEVER been banned from a server before and I do not intend to anytime soon.


Oh, I read the rules again and I now see what I have done.. Please forgive me, I didn't mean any harm. I promise this will never happen again.. .-.

Big Grin Get Elyta on killing the dragon
Posted by: Zeuclyptus - 09-14-2016, 09:00 PM - Forum: Suggestions - Replies (28)

This has been a very popular plugin on most of servers to get the elyta after killing the dragon.I think it shuld be added because they are rather Limited . killing the dragon according to me is worth getting the elytra. post your opinion now !
(please just do it for sake of elytra)

  LWC internal error issue.
Posted by: FROSTEE_MC - 09-14-2016, 05:33 PM - Forum: Report a Problem - No Replies

Could there be a possible way to stop [LWC] messages without having the need of an admin? Sometimes they happen without warning, at a time when no admin, or staff are on at the time, and this time, we are unable to break blocks properly or eat normally, as well as the usual locked doors and chests. This is inconvenient as we can't logout, since after the loss of homes on the old server, most people are fearful of the important sethomes being lost without any trace. I know this might be impractical, but may I suggest an autorestart similar to the old server to clear out lag every so often?
 
Thanks for reading my post, (i'm sorry if i haven't thought this through properly) this happened quite suddenly today without any staff. I hope this will soon be fixed. Big Grin

Miku

okay. so.... /warp tacoguardian will be finished sometime this week. As you may or may not know, I have wanted a free public guardian farm for a long while, so I am making my own. Schoolwork will get in the way, so I'm expecting this to be completed this weekend. HUGE thanks to Obby, VanillaKitty, and some others for helping out.

Code:
b]Server you were banned on (SMP): Survival
_
[b]Minecraft name:[/b] TheSpartan_300

[b]Reason for your ban:[/b] Banned by Grimm_Wolfe for x-raying:Ip-Banned

[b]Who banned you:[/b] Grimm_Wolfe

[b]Why should you be unbanned:[/b] First of all i have worked with servers and there is no foulproof way to detect Xray.
Only 2 ways exist. Checking for modding clients plugin, or a plugin that detects stone to ore ratios.
Secondly i was not using X-ray and i do have a modified client which i can see the mistake made. I do have Optifine, Shaders, and Too Many Items which may accidently be mistaken for other mods.
Yes i do know what im talking about since i run a server and have been admins on previous servers before.

[b]Why do you want to come back:[/b] Obviously because of the friendly enviroment.

Cheers ,

  Plan For Warp Jellyiron2, Jellygold2
Posted by: _JELLy__ - 09-13-2016, 04:56 PM - Forum: Trading - Replies (11)

We all know I cannot enforce a time limit on my public farms effectively, Players will afk sleep and it will not change. Instead, I am inclined to build another copy of each of gold and iron farm if I have resources supporting such builds. 

That includes:

  • For jellygold2, 7300 obsidian, Or alternatively manpower hauling lava buckets from nether and water casting them in. Also 1 dchest of stone. 
  • For jellyiron2, a clear land without doors, 270 villagers bred, and 4 dchests of stone. The mob I hate the most in MC are villagers, unless someone wants to breed them, jellyiron2 will never happen. 

For jellygold2, the 50/50 share still applies, 50% goes to me and 50% to you. This might change depends on how much gold I get from jellygold. 

However, for Jellyiron2, I will prepare 2 afk spots for 2 players to afk at once. 50% for each player. If there's only 1 player in, then the other 50% goes to me, by redstone magic. 

If you wanna see this happen, don't just donate me stone, I need obsidian and villager breeders and man power, for the greater good.
