Transport signal vertically

[webD97]

I'd like to register a node which conducts the digiline signal vertically. Any idea how to do this?

[Jeija]

I just had to fix something to allow this in fa3f9ce
Now it is easily possible. The following node looks like bricks and conducts signals just like mese conducts mesecons signals in mesecons, so both horizontally and vertically:

local rules_any =
{
    {x= 0, y= 0, z=-1},
    {x= 1, y= 0, z= 0},
    {x=-1, y= 0, z= 0},
    {x= 0, y= 0, z= 1},
    {x= 1, y= 1, z= 0},
    {x= 1, y=-1, z= 0},
    {x=-1, y= 1, z= 0},
    {x=-1, y=-1, z= 0},
    {x= 0, y= 1, z= 1},
    {x= 0, y=-1, z= 1},
    {x= 0, y= 1, z=-1},
    {x= 0, y=-1, z=-1},
    {x= 0, y=-1, z= 0},
    {x= 0, y= 1, z= 0}
}

minetest.register_node("digiline_vertical:wire", {
    description = "Vertical digiline",
    tiles = {"default_brick.png"},
    wield_image = "digiline_std_inv.png",
    paramtype = "light",
    digiline = 
    {
        wire = 
        {
            rules = rules_any
        }
    },
    groups = {dig_immediate = 3}
})

Very cool ! Thank you so much for your fast reaction!
I'm sure you'll like how I use it in my most popular mod ;)

[webD97]

Hm, these rules don't seem to work :( I tried it with my node, and with your example node you gave me...

The lower LCDs show text, the upper one doesn't... Code:

minetest.register_node(":streets:bigpole", {
    description = "Pole",
    paramtype = "light",
    paramtype2 = "facedir",
    drawtype = "nodebox",
    tiles = {"streets_pole.png"},
    groups = {cracky = 1, level = 2, bigpole = 1},
    node_box = {
        type = "fixed",
        fixed = {
            {-0.15, -0.5, -0.15, 0.15, 0.5, 0.15}
        }
    },
    on_place = minetest.rotate_node,
    digiline = {
        wire = {
            rules = streets.rules_pole
        }
    }
})

Your rules are propably wrong. Could you post them here? Also, make sure you got the channels right.
I tried just the same thing with my rules:

[webD97]

I copied the rules you gave me, but I'll try again.

[webD97]

Once again: Same problem.
The mod itself uses latest git version. All mdevices on channel "a". Luacontroller: digiline_send("a", "bla")

[Jeija]

That ... is just weird?!?

That is my build (WorldEdit):

And this is the complete mod I use for it:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/w3hnm6i6s1jfq4w/digiline_vertical.zip

Can you try exactly those files?

[webD97]

Yep, but later (in 6h), I'm on the road now ;)

[webD97]

Nope, still not working... Same result as with my tries...

[Jeija]

Is there someone else who can try the same thing to find out if this issue is specifically related to @webdesigner97 or if something is wrong? It works fine for me here.
@webdesigner97 Could you open a server for me to join in and try it out?

[webD97]

I also pulled the repo again, but it is up-to-date. Sure, I'll open it in around 2 hours. Pls wait on #minetest for me, I'll come on, too :)

[Jeija]

I just cloned the latest minetest, mesecons, digilines, minetest_game and inserted the mod and it worked just fine. So honestly, I have no idea why it doesn't work (btw. I have my mods in minetest_game/mods but that should be the cause).

[webD97]

@Jeija Server is ready, pls join #minetest to get info :)

I can't reproduce the issue on MT 0.4.9 with latest Git Mesecons.

What we found out yesterday:

• the bug only appears, when streets is activated
• the nodes conduct up to a certain relative height above the luacontroller, but then stop
