L6[01:44:28] <MichiBot> Spider​EveryOS has stolen the tonkout! Tonk has been reset! They gained 0.008 tonk points! plus 0.007 bonus points for consecutive hours! (Reduced to 50% because stealing) Current score: 1.561114. Position #1

L12[04:04:57] <MichiBot> Forecaster's new record is 2 hours, 20 minutes and 28 seconds! Forecaster also gained 0.00234 tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #2. Need 0.165868 more points to pass Spider​EveryOS!

L14[04:53:50] <vft​dan> Has anybody tried making fully computer-controlled roundabouts (or other kinds of interchanges) for railcraft trains? No signals or signal boxes, only digital detectors at entries, "any" detectors at exits and redstone IO at actuators and locking tracks.

L15[05:17:21] <Hawk777> I started on a similar project a long long time ago. I was going to use RC boxes (the ones that work like block signals but just the blocks that go under the tracks instead of actual lamps) to detect train presence or absence within regions of track, rather than just detecting trains passing specific points, but otherwise the idea was pretty much what you described. Though I was building a large network, so I also used the RC boxes as a

L16[05:17:21] <Hawk777> to get wireless redstone (since I didn’t have any other wireless redstone mod installed at the time).

L17[05:18:00] <Hawk777> Sadly that server became completely empty of other people shortly after I started working on it, and I lost the motivation to finish the job.

L18[05:20:20] <Hawk777> My idea wasn’t to have separate systems per junction, rather a single computer controlling the whole network, with a lot of I/O.

L19[05:30:32] <vft​dan> I'm considering no central node, and for long-distance communication use Minitel's packet switching

L20[05:31:08] <Hawk777> Yep, a computer per junction would definitely also work. You’d just need to sort out a protocol for doing handoffs of train data from one to the next.

L21[05:31:33] <Hawk777> I chose a single central computer because I thought it would make it easier to debug the system if everything was in one place.

L22[05:33:11] <Hawk777> (Also because it meant less chunkloading)

L28[08:50:35] <Forec​aster> %tonk

L29[08:50:36] <MichiBot> Yow! Forec​aster! You beat your own previous record of 2 hours, 20 minutes and 28 seconds (By 2 hours, 25 minutes and 10 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L30[08:50:37] <MichiBot> Forecaster's new record is 4 hours, 45 minutes and 39 seconds! No points gained for stealing from yourself. (Lost out on 0.00242 x 3 = 0.00726)

L31[10:27:32] <Forec​aster> Wellp. https://discordembeds.pc-logix.com/live/1505879503480553533/1779100051910-5fdd5e01fcb16.jpg

L32[10:27:49] <Forec​aster> This thing decided it needed more ventilation apparently

L33[10:28:08] <Forec​aster> And it announced that decision with a loud bang

L36[11:50:21] <Forec​aster> Turns out it blew up because I'd reversed + and -

L37[11:50:24] <Forec​aster> oops

L38[11:50:42] <Flamei​ngsoul> Just move the line over

L39[11:53:14] <Forec​aster> I can't believe I didn't think of that

L48[14:05:05] <MichiBot> Flameingsoul's new record is 5 hours, 14 minutes and 28 seconds! Flameingsoul also gained 0.0024 (0.00048 x 5) tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #4. Need 0.26086 more points to pass Va​ur!

L69[17:56:43] <Forec​aster> ow

L70[17:57:58] <Brea​kdown> does this discord even actually talk about the mod anymore

L71[17:58:02] <Brea​kdown> its all just this bot

L72[17:58:17] <Brea​kdown> there's literally a bots channel 😭

L73[17:58:30] <Hawk777> Occasionally. There was a conversation about an OC-controlled Railcraft network last night.

L74[17:58:40] <Hawk777> Not all that often though.

L75[18:00:16] <Brea​kdown> I usually come into these kinds of discords for inspiration on my own projects, so it's kinda annoying that people spam the bot in the mod channel instead of using the dedicated bot channel 😭

L76[18:00:31] <Brea​kdown> this discord also just feels kinda barebones compared to the CC one

L77[18:01:55] <Hawk777> Yeah, I’m not a fan of the bot stuff either, but whatever. I’m not in charge around here. I suppose probably more people use CC than OC, which would explain the difference.

L78[19:16:29] <Forec​aster> I'm not sure more channels (there used to be more) or less activity would help in any way

L79[19:20:09] <Hawk777> Personally, there’s enough tonking to be a slight drain on my time as I see a new message in the channel and come over to see what it is only to see that it’s yet another tonk (compared to other very-low-traffic channels where that kind of thing doesn’t happen), but not enough to make me actually take the time to figure out how to ignore those messages. But *shrug*.

L80[19:20:44] <Hawk777> Not annoying enough to make me leave :)

L81[19:21:51] <Forec​aster> I meant in regards to "not talking about the mod"

L82[19:25:20] <Forec​aster> Speaking of, it should be time for a %tonkout if my calculations are correct

L83[19:25:21] <MichiBot> Zounderkite! Forec​aster! You beat Flamei​ngsoul's previous record of 5 hours, 14 minutes and 28 seconds (By 5 minutes and 48 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L84[19:25:22] <MichiBot> Forec​aster has stolen the tonkout! Tonk has been reset! They gained 0.005 tonk points! plus 0.004 bonus points for consecutive hours! (Reduced to 50% because stealing) Current score: 1.406246. Position #2 Need 0.154868 more points to pass Spider​EveryOS!

L85[19:29:29] <Hawk777> Sure, I’m not saying it would increase mod discussion. Just that it would decrease annoyance to the lurkers who would rather see nothing, than see messages *not* about the mod.

L86[19:37:16] <Redston​eParkour> i suppose one could set up their irc client to filter out uninteresting messages

L87[19:38:01] <Hawk777> Yep. But that also takes time to figure out how to do, slightly too much for me to bother. So here I am.

L88[19:39:25] <Forec​aster> I can make every bot message ping you

L89[19:39:31] <Forec​aster> Maybe that'll motivate you

L90[19:39:37] <Hawk777> :(

L93[20:37:38] <Brea​kdown> it also would require you to use an IRC client

L94[20:38:26] <Hawk777> Which, in my case, I do. Or a third-party Discord client with the same feature. But yes, not as good an option for most people.

L95[20:39:52] <Izzy> I don't love the tonking either but I have my weechat filters mostly dialled in so I don't see it

L97[22:02:37] <Lizzy> So long as when discussion about OC (or TIS-3D for that matter, though that's very little) comes up the conversation switches to it rather than bot stuff, I don't see any major issues with it.

L98[22:05:41] <Izzy> Speaking of Railcraft

L99[22:05:59] <Izzy> I don't think the digital locomotive relay works on diesel locos

L100[22:06:05] <Lizzy> it does not

L101[22:06:12] <Lizzy> which is a bummer

L102[22:06:31] <Izzy> I looked into patching it

L103[22:06:48] <Izzy> It seems simple* enough but I don't know what knock on effects it might have

L104[22:06:56] <Lizzy> also it's limitation of needing to be bound to a physical block, and having a default range of 128 blocks is kinda bleh

L105[22:07:52] <Lizzy> i sometimes think about looking into how hard it'd be to port OC-Minecarts to 1.12.2, cause i think those have some control over the train they're in which could be an interesting substitute

L106[22:08:52] <Lizzy> hmm, could also set up some form of store-and-forward messaging system. then use the trains travelling over the world to relay messages long-distance

L107[22:09:44] <Hawk777> You mean if each train had a chunkloader or something, so that as it moved it would load two adjacent junctions’ computers? That would be an interesting idea.

L108[22:10:10] <Lizzy> nah, the OC Minecarts mod essentially puts a computer in a cart

L109[22:10:19] <Hawk777> Oh! I didn’t know about that.

L110[22:11:09] <Hawk777> Reminds me of the old “never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon of tapes hurtling down the highway” Tanenbaum quote.

L111[22:11:09] <Lizzy> https://github.com/feldim2425/OC-Minecarts is what i'm referencing specifically

L112[22:12:34] <Izzy> I mean, minecart full of tapes

L113[22:12:44] <Lizzy> that works too i guess

L114[22:12:44] <Izzy> like a GB of data

L116[22:27:42] <Oculist> Woo, got irc working on a OC tablet
