L5[09:56:56] <Kodos> liach why is your dad such a dick about coding?

L6[09:57:14] <Kodos> Is he one of those that thinks any kind of programming, or CLI interface is you "hacking" something?

L7[09:58:02] <bball.psd> well, both of my parents are dicks about discord or anything that involves conversation but idgaf

L8[09:58:13] <Kodos> Why though? That's literally bat shit insanity

L9[09:58:19] <bball.psd> idk

L11[10:55:53] <vos6434> when you havent played for a month and your dad thinks you play 24/7

L12[10:56:04] <bball.psd> lol

L13[10:56:57] <vos6434> he thinks I dont spend my time with my little bros when I literally spend the whole morning with them and then go back to my room when he comes back from work

L14[10:57:08] <vos6434> Why all dads are dicks?

L15[10:57:30] <vos6434> Why all dads are just a bunch dicks? [Edited]

L16[11:13:35] <Contritum Sanitas> Well this convo went dark really fast...

L17[11:48:13] <Natesky9> Well, people react to what they see

L18[11:49:03] <Natesky9> you could be doing something for 90% of the time he's not there, but if he only sees one thing when he is there, he'll assume that's what you've been doing the entire time

L19[11:49:52] <Natesky9> Best thing to do is have a schedule, so you can show him I guess

L20[11:53:40] <Darkelarious> imo it's still better than the kinds of parents that don't give a rats ass about their kids, allowing them to turn out like those entitled douches

L21[11:54:55] <Darkelarious> i'm not sure how old you are now, or how long you plan to stay living at home, but there will be a point where they (parents) will get the part where you'll be doing fine with your life

L22[11:55:13] <Darkelarious> unless, of course, you dodge school to code for a penny, and then in 10 years realize you should have stayed in school

L23[11:56:05] <Darkelarious> something else, is there a way to allow the signal receiver to extend the redstone signal to adjecent tracks? --> signal receiver with a holding track, surrounded by booster tracks

L24[12:00:43] <Natesky9> You want the cheap or pretty way?

L25[12:01:23] <Natesky9> also, why not keep booster tracks powered

L26[12:18:33] <Darkelarious> long story, 2000+ block bullet train track with multiple trains on it

L27[12:18:40] <Darkelarious> using signals to keep them at distance

L28[12:18:52] <Darkelarious> currently using 4xbooster, holding, 4x booster in line

L29[12:19:17] <Darkelarious> but the signal block only extends on top/holding track, and not adjecent booster tracks

L30[12:19:25] <Darkelarious> but i also just figured out that EnderIO has a nice solution for that

L31[12:19:50] <Darkelarious> redstone conduite with facade block, so you basically extend the redstone signal as far as you want

L32[13:04:06] <Darkelarious> except that it doesn't work....

L33[13:45:06] <Darkelarious> Natesky9, you had a cheap and/or a pretty way to extend the locking track's redstone signal to the nearby booster tracks?

L34[14:16:44] <Natesky9> receiver -> controller -> multiple receivers

L35[14:16:56] <Natesky9> I mean

L36[14:17:22] <Natesky9> you can surround a receiver with controllers, the put receivers at different locations

L37[14:17:35] <Natesky9> that's the "pretty" way

L38[14:17:45] <Natesky9> How long are your blocks, by the way

L39[14:50:15] <liach> In fact my dad just does not let me do anything at all except studying... He opposed me coding all the way through

L40[14:50:35] <liach> Realize the pain when you need to fix all outdated rock crusher recipes

L41[14:50:48] <bball.psd> just tell him you're studying to be a computer scientist :P

L42[14:59:19] <Darkelarious> ^

L43[14:59:55] <Darkelarious> @Natesky9: my signal blocks are about 300 blocks long, that part works fine/great

L44[15:00:16] <Darkelarious> but when a train moves at high speed, the boosters turn off as soon as it enters the signal block

L45[15:00:46] <Darkelarious> i tried to fix that with a high speed train holding track, so it stays on, but that train holding track (kit) does not extend redstone beyond its own track

L46[15:00:47] <Natesky9> why do the boosters need to turn off/

L47[15:00:56] <Darkelarious> train in front of it

L48[15:01:04] <Darkelarious> some "freight" trains don't reach maximum speed

L49[15:01:14] <Darkelarious> and trains have different lengths/weights

L50[15:01:41] <Darkelarious> so by using signaling blocks i prevent trains crashing full speed into the train in front of it

L51[15:02:32] <Darkelarious> and extending the signal receiver's redstone signal is no problem, plenty of mods that do this the pretty way

L52[15:02:51] <bball.psd> add a slight delay using repeaters so the train can get through before the boosters turn off

L53[15:03:06] <Darkelarious> that is basically what i'm trying to accomplish

L54[15:03:19] <Darkelarious> but at this point i don't see how I'm going to do this the pretty way

L55[15:03:22] <Darkelarious> or even the dirty way

L56[15:03:32] <Darkelarious> ideally it all fits in one line beneath the track, btw

L57[15:05:36] <Darkelarious> right now, i have 4 boosters, a holding track and 4 boosters

L58[15:06:54] <Darkelarious> and i want those to be all powered (on green signal) or all unpowered on red/yellow,

L59[15:07:11] <Darkelarious> so i fixed the latter problem with 4 boosters, holding track, 4 boosters and detector track

L60[15:07:20] <Darkelarious> so the latter part stays powered

L61[15:07:33] <Darkelarious> but the holding track does not receive redstone power, or extend it

L62[15:07:59] <Darkelarious> so part of the train slows down and accelerates again, causing some nice glitches when lagging (and it does)

L63[15:08:28] <bball.psd> why do you need the boosters after the holding track to shut off on yellow/red?

L64[15:08:31] <Darkelarious> the only thing I have not tried yet is to separate the "slowdown" boosters with your signal receiver/controller combination

L65[15:08:40] <Darkelarious> technically I don't

L66[15:08:47] <Darkelarious> i guess

L67[15:08:50] <Darkelarious> hm.

L68[15:10:22] <Darkelarious> so the slowdown boosters about 20-30 blocks in front of the signal with their own signal receiver box, the holding track right in front of the signal, and permanently powered boosters could do the trick, i guess?

L69[15:12:22] <Darkelarious> i'll try that (tomorrow or so)

L70[15:12:24] <Darkelarious> thanks
