i think you explain everything at the level everybody understands! and if they are long is just a plus!

Alright guys, thanks for the support!

As a bonus, here's another long, fully in-depth video explaining the ins and outs of using the Expression Gate (okay, so I was going to do it anyways, but think of it as a reward! :P )

Tutorial 14 now up!

Yum... we final get to the Expression Chip. As a programmer, I get this stuff. The wiring dozens of chips up hurts my brains -- but inputs and outputs and bits of code between -- yum. I love the style, even when you screw up -- showing us how you debug is seriously helpful.

I saw some guys on the server today using a OS Time chip to show the date/time. One did it with like 20 chips and another did it with one expression chip. Pretty cool.

Can you use an external editor, like notepad to code these up? That line-by-line thing makes it tough to add or kill a line.

More Expression Chip demos please!!!

Thank you, all your tutorials are useful. But some could be simplified a lot, i think about the supermarket door, where you used 2 hydraulics for each doors, and the other chips to make the lenght differences :s, i think it just disturb newbs ^^. But good work anyway.

I saw in some videos you have a little scroll bar (guess you run in windowed 640x480) : just press the chat key then enter and it will disappear.

Answers:

Yes you can use notepad to write expression gates. It's all I use, but I wanted to show the in-game way to do it so people would understand where I'm coming from. You just save the .txt file to the data>expression gate folder (I think that's it). You use the format of the code I put for tutorial 10 on first post (i.e. N@ for the title, I@ for inputs, O@ for outputs, and then each line of code). You can then load up tthe expression from in-game.

Yeah, I figured out how to get rid of the scroll bar after like tutorial 2, that's why you don't see it anymore Also yeah, I run in 640x480 mode when I'm recording tutorials since revver's going to make the video small anyways.

Love the expression gate tutorial!

Anyway, just a quick reminder for the above post, if you write the code outside of the game, then the lines must not be longer than 92 chars, if they are they will validate in-game, but you cannot spawn the gate (the server cuts the messages) and will likely generate a non-sense error.

I'm working on a fix for this, but it might take a while.

Tutorial about Expression Gates rocks!

-orb-, maybe you know how the satellite dish works? The best I got is aiming the transferrer to the satellite dish and getting a green light from the transferer, but nothing else. I don't see any options to wire it. I don't know what is it good for lol.
