Settings can now be retrieved by mesecon.setting(<name>, <default>) and can be modified without
editing the source code by adding the setting to minetest.conf
For instance, you can add mesecon.blinky_plant_interval = 0.5 to minetest.conf in order to
increase the blinking speed.
Rewrite the blinky plant with nodetimers.
Fixes #161

mesecon.receptor_on and mesecon.receptor_off are provided by wrappers
(mesecon:receptor_on/off) for compatibility, but will be removed. Mod
programmers that use mesecons: Please update!
Also, fix microcontroller polluting the global namespace and remove some
deprecated stuff.
large machines.
It also makes the wires.lua code easier to understand and more
maintainable. In case any other mod depends on
mesecon:update_autoconnect, please update it to use
mesecon.update_autoconnect. This should also fix some other minor bugs.
Please report bugs if this commit creates new ones.
This commit changes wire looks and removes some unneccesary textures.
Changes:
* Stops code after a certain number of instructions.
* Allows functions, due to instruction counting.
* Allows loops and goto with non-JIT Lua (LuaJIT doesn't count looping as an instruction, allowing infinite loops), due to instruction counting.
* Removes string matching functions as they can be slow.
* Adds some safe functions.
* Limits the amount of printing that can be done (to prevent console flooding).
* Code cleanup.
* More...
This is not exactly a fix for the issue, because extremely
large circuits (3000+ conductors) still won't work with this applied.
This simply aborts any execution if there is the danger of a stack overflow.
Some mesecon wires (the turned-on nodes) that were
not_in_creative_inventory and should never appear in an actual inventory
were also mesecon_conductor_craftable. This is liable to make a craft
guide show them as potential ingredients, due to the use of the group
in recipes.
The handling of the "quit" pseudo-field meant that the microcontroller
couldn't be programmed with explicit code, only with the examples.
The "quit" can actually be ignored: what matters for programming the
controller is whether the "code" field was supplied.
when powering off the delayer faster than the delay time.
Actually, delayers should have never worked since the ActionQueue update as
they always used the default rules for their output, which is obviously nonsense.
with comments. Also fixes a bug of lua- / microcontrollers not being updated when pushed by a
piston.
This could cause some bugs, even though I haven't found any while testing as it is a very core part of mesecons.
Why did we actually put the update action in a queue again? Whatever issue it that was for, I couldn't reproduce it.
Propably the ActionQueue fixed that...?
This adds a timer(<seconds>) function, which causes an event of type
"timer" to be fired after that many seconds has elapsed.
Because it's node timer based, it works properly across server restarts
and block unloading. Thus, simplest example, a blinky plant replacement
with a 10 second period:
if event.type == "program" then
timer(10)
elseif event.type == "timer" then
port.a = not port.a
timer(10)
end
