Frequently Asked Questions (Yes, the top banner means read this!)

Before we begin, you should know the help section isn't an actual BBQ, where you can throw on whatever you like. It is not some place where you can toss your dick around and expect people to suck it. It's where you can tap into the repository for the collective consciousness of the Grand Wiremod Consortium. So before you go grabbing for marshmallows and prepare to camp out with the rest of us, you need to consult the following threads.

How to ask for help. This should be enough information if you are smarter than a cucumber.

Getting the quickest answer to your problem(s)!

If you are NOT smarter than a cucumber, or just obnoxious with a keyboard, you need to read this:

Keyboard Tutorial.

Finally, if you think it is the wiremod SVN itself that is the problem, you should see this thread:

READ THIS FIRST: The SVN is NOT at fault.

If it's a bug: you can post a help thread about it without having to go through all these steps, but you MUST make your post clear, and be sure use the console command "wire_PrintVersion" and then give us a "condump"!

I love how this has been here for almost 5 days now, and only ~140 views.

Too bad this thread is dead, I could need some help. I need a way of converting GPS coordinates into a vector, so that the vector thruster understands it. I thought there was a chip for this, but after searching through all the tools, I couldn't find anything.

[DarkMonkey]

As in, the thrusters thrust towards the co-ordinates? If you put a gps on the thing be thrusted, then subtract one from the other and negate it, that should work as a vector.

A barbecue is a way of cooking (meat, usually) over a basic open flame stove.
Coal / charcoal barbecues usually make for better flavour, with gas ones your chicken / spare ribs end up tasting like propane :/

Ehm, he didn't say he didn't know what barbecue is, plus you just replied to a several months old post.

im new to wire mod. just saying. but when i tried to fix a code it asked for either a coma or whitespace. the coma part doesnt work because it leads me to another problem so it has to be whitespace. the only problem is i dont know what a whitespace is. so if someone could tell me what it is that would be great.
