why isnt this in plugin releases?

 

Change the dispenser to a craft table and i install this.

 

mods must move it to plugin releases, it's a brand new release that I just posted 5 minutes ago, i'm sure they will get to it soon

this isn't possible, a craft table cannot be viewed from SMP. this is why I used a dispenser, the functinality of a dispenser remains intact, as well as an appropraite 3x3 square to craft stuff with

 

oh okay, i thought anyone could just post in plugin releases

 

i love it. now let us make custom recipes somehow. that would be great

 

Glowstone needs to be harder to make. Can we customise the recipes easily?

 

I just updated to 1.1 and added custom recipes. You can also turn off the hell recipes in the config. this should get you what you're looking for.

 

Figures. 30 secondes after I download it and kick everyone off the server. Thanks for that.

I assume you create a file per custom recipe?

 

Haha, me too . Good job on this plugin btw, Nodren. It's great .

 

yes you create a custom file per.

you do know the /reload command exists right? just saying

I HAVE WASTED MY LIFE

 

tell me about it, I only recently discovered that, it's a huge PITA then I had to restart the server to test my plugins

 

If I use filled buckets in my custom recipees will I still get the empty bucket back?

Also can you make it use multiple items from stack? i was thinking of an expensive diamond recipe TNT (pressure) + lava bucket (heat) + 64 coal (carbon) = 1 diamond

 

currently no, custom recipes will suck up your bucket as well. i can make that an option in a future update though

 

A question and a few ideas...

First the question:
Does it look for any .yml file in the config folder for custom recipes?

Second the ideas:

How about having 4 properties to the materials-# nodes, I.E.:
Materials-1:
Input: <BlockID>
Output: <BlockID>
Quantity-In: <Int>
Quantity-Out: <Int>
So if I have a Recipe where the input is a lava bucket, I could set the output ID to an empty bucket, and quantity-in and out to 1, and it will return an empty bucket. This way crafting could result in any input/output/quantity desired.

Just an idea!

 

yes any file in the config folder can be a recipe, name them to what's convienent for you.

and i love the layout you're suggesting, i'll include this in my next update, which will most likely be tomorrow

 

Only other suggestion for now I can think of... Can you support items.db for names of items? Not very critical but it does make it easyer to quickly do stuff without having to look up ID's .
--- merged: Feb 1, 2011 3:33 AM ---
Just thought about something else... If I stack multiple items in, can I keep on crafting until the stack runs out like you can on crafttable/inv crafter?

 

It appears so.

 

Thats an good plugin

but i have a question.

I want to craft sandstone. with the normal craftbox i kill my mouse, because i'm clicking 64 times to make 64 sandstones. how i can realize that with your plugin? that the dispender craft so many times sandstone which i place in it.

sry for my bad english (i'm german )

 

Guten Tag(please don't respond in german that's all i know )

once I release my next update you will be able to craft a recipe that does what your suggesting.

 

Guten Tag its perfect

ok, this sounds good. i wait for your next update.
great job thx

 

I'm not sure if it's any other Plugins causing this but from the looks of your Video It has the same issue. Once you activate the Dispenser it spits out the item(s) but not from the front but somewhat random directions. Would it be possible to actually have it spit out from the front-hole? It's fairly hard to build in something like this as the items get stuck in walls and what not

 

yeah i had to research how to do this, i'm confident i can include it in the next update

 

That would be absolutely wicked, looking forward to the next release!

I do have a concept/request though.

Armor has Durability (I'm not sure how much but Let's assume Iron has 100. Diamond 200). So 1 Iron Ingot would repair a Total of 100 Durability- Now, My Chest Piece has gotten damaged by 70 and helmet 30 if I put them both in to repair It'd repair both to 100. Is this something that also would be possible? Pardon if I'm asking too much but though something along thous lines would be pretty nice.

So, If I were to put in my Broken Armor (Chest 70, Leg 30, Helm 30 and Boots 70) I would require 2 Ingots if all were put in. This is just an example and should be adjusted more properly. But that is the concept

 

Just as an introduction, I've started working on CraftDispenser a little, and many of my changes will probably appear in a new release fairly soon.

That is one idea I had, but I wasn't quite sure how to flesh it out. What you suggested sounds pretty good. It depends on what Nodren thinks, but I will definitely look into that.

 

Genious idea, really genious.

 

On b230 it's not working, I put a damaged diamondsword and a diamond inside and redstone does not get current and it does nothing, if I take the wool away it works as a normal dispenser so I know redstone is good.

 

One thing I've noticed is that currently the redstone detection is not quite in sync with the way it would be normally. I have to have the dispenser higher when crafting with it than when using it as just a dispenser. One easy way to test is by making a recipe that takes a dirt and crafts a dirt so that you can just put a whole pile of it in there and keep playing with things to make sure the redstone is working.

 

I've released 1.2 Thanks again ricochet for all your contributions for this release, couldn't of done it with out you!
