Q: How to Power Redstone Through A Block

I have seen this in youtube videos, a person places a redstone torch on the wall like in the picture and it activates a circuit. No matter how many layouts I have tried I can't seems to get a power output on the other side. My question is, how can I power redstone on the other side of this stone ...

Oh well, that was enough Minecraft for one day anyways.

Why sandstone?

Kevin Y

04:32

Because it looks cool.

GnomeSlice ツ

Should use redstone ore

Kevin Y

Before Sandstone was released, I used a grass world, and passive mobs would always spawn.

GnomeSlice ツ

Or something else horribly hard to see redstone on.

Kevin Y

Heh.

It would take much too long to mine out the ground.

GnomeSlice ツ

@KevinY Hasn't sandstone been around since before redstone?

Kevin Y

04:33

Nope, it's pretty recent.

GnomeSlice ツ

You mined that by hand?

Kevin Y

Beta 1.2

@GnomeSliceツ Ahahahahaha no.

I mean if I wanted to build underground, it would take a long time to mine Redstone Ore.

I downloaded the world, but it would have been just as easy to select a large area with WorldEdit and flatten it into Sandstone.

You might know Chris better as “Grace Note,” the moderator extraordinaire on our Gaming Stack Exchange.

I appointed Chris to a pro tem moderator position nearly a year ago. I wasn’t an avid user of Gaming SE, but I was continually amazed how often Chris’s name kept popping up in our moderator chat room. Chris was quickly becoming The Person to quote when you needed a clear, compelling explanation of how this community-management stuff should work. Even in our meta community, Chris was earning a ridiculous amount of rep in a short period of time. You should read some of his posts because it’s really good stuff. …

feature-request status-completed blog

Status completed.

Mana ಠдಠ

10:56

I don't really like this question. It's not dealing with a game that's already been released or announced, it invites speculation/recommendation of different projects, and it's also localized, since if ever such a remake comes out this is obsolete.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Yay, that was bugging me too.

Wipqozn

At first I was uncertain what I thought about the new class system in D3, but the more I think about it the more I like it. In D2 you basically used one skill. That was it. Maybe two. D3 seems to focus more on using multiple skils.

@Manaಠдಠ I agree 100%

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn My enthusiasm for D3 has been rather thoroughly quashed by the DRM and no local storage of your game. :(

@Manaಠдಠ Agreed

Mana ಠдಠ

Cool...I'll vote to close as too localized, then, I guess?

Seems to be the strongest reason of them all.

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes If it helps, I'm not letting that stop me from buying the game. In fact I'm not bothered by the DRM method that much.

FallenAngelEyes

11:00

Always on internet requirement is ridiculous, imo.

Wipqozn

So is people stealing games. It's better then downloading spyware to your computer like certain companies do cough ea cough

FallenAngelEyes

My parents are only on dialup and only have one phone line, so when I visit them, I can't have an always on connection. When I was home for a funeral, I played tons of D2 because it ran nicely on my laptop and I didn't need a connection for it.

Wipqozn

There is certainly a lot better options for DRM, but this is the one they decided to go with.

FallenAngelEyes

Being able to play it in the airport while waiting for your flight is nice as well.

Wipqozn

Yeah, that's understandable.

FallenAngelEyes

11:02

And the fact that you can't even back up your own game irks me. Cloud storage only. So if people decide to DDoS Blizzard for whatever reason, I'm unable to play my game.

Wipqozn

Never thought about that actually.

FallenAngelEyes

It happened with Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed II's PC release

Wipqozn

The only thing I don't understand is why even have the single-player. Players can just make a private room online and play by themselves.

FallenAngelEyes

The problem I have with it is that it's setting a precedent that I'm uncomfortable with, and basically, the only way I have to protest it is by not giving them my money.

Wipqozn

Yeah I can understand that.

FallenAngelEyes

11:05

Again, some people don't have the opportunity to always be online.

Look at dialup. Look at how some universities block gaming ports.

Hell, Steam doesn't work properly for a number of universities.

Grace Note

I don't mind the DRM aspect of it, it's really just the internet requirement.

Wipqozn

It's not that I agree with the method, I don't. BUt I understand their reasoning. On the same note, I don't blame Blizzard for this I blame the pirates. It's similar to a shop keeper that puts locks on his doors and only lets in two customers at a time due to high theft. His method damages the innocent, but his decision was made due to having his back up against a wall.

FallenAngelEyes

They're not going to stop the pirates with always online DRM. I don't agree that punishing your legitimate userbase is acceptable.

Wipqozn

They have yet to find an effective DRM method, and I'm sure they will move on to a new one soon enough.

@FallenAngelEyes and a shop keeper putting locks on his doors isn't going to stop theft.

but I don't blame the shop keeper

because he doesn't know what else to do. On the same note companies don't know what else to do because no other DRM has proven effective yet. Like you said, I doubt it will work, so they will move on to a new method soon enough.

M'vy

Well I m inclined to think we need to shift of philosophy. Internet has changed many things, so you can't just say "ok put some more restriction" because this is just a burden to clients. And someday one smarter guys will find a way to workaround the DRM. I think the best thing to do is to provide more to the peoples that buy. Like online services, additional materials.

Grace Note

11:10

We're not really blaming Blizzard, but that doesn't mean we can't have a beef with their selected method.

Wipqozn

Yeah, I'm not saying I don't have a beef with their method. But my problem is with their method, not with Blizzard.

@Mvy similar to how many open source companies run

M'vy

Look now: it's easier, cheapest and less restraining to play a pirated game than a normal one

same appends with the films

FallenAngelEyes

I'm not saying they should leave the doors swinging wide open because theft could happen anyway, but this is like the equivalent of a store only letting me in to shop if they have an employee handcuff themselves to me for the entire duration I'm walking around the store.

M'vy

When you buy one film, you need to see ALL the trailers, have a "OHHHH it's bad to pirate films" sequence, more advertisment.

FallenAngelEyes

I wouldn't shop at that store.

M'vy

Perhaps this is how it was meant to [...]

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Yeah, your analogy is better then the one I had.

I would probably stop shopping their as well, however once again it's a matter of them doing whatever they can to stop theft.

Grace Note

I reiterate that no one is faulting them for why they're doing it, so that's not really a distance-gaining point.

FallenAngelEyes

Anywho, yeah, I just don't agree with it. The suckier thing is, me choosing not to buy the game won't make a lick of difference because they're still going to make millions anyway.

But I can at least know that I'm not putting my money somewhere I disagree with. I'm not judging others for deciding to purchase the game at all, trust me, I want to play it, but ugh, I just don't like where they're going with this.

Wipqozn

Yeah I understand your position perfectly. Like I said earlier, I think they will move on to a new method before long when this one fails.

FallenAngelEyes

11:18

Who knows, Ubisoft seems convinced that their method is "working."

I'm not trying to be a jerk or argue in circles with you btw, I just have strong opinions on this.

Nor am I, because I have strong opinion as well.

FallenAngelEyes

11:26

I've not thoroughly played it yet, only a little bit. I got it on a Steam sale a couple months back.

My problem with action RPGs is that if there's no respec mechanism, I get caught up in reading guides so as not to nerf myself.

Wipqozn

It's a really enjoyable game, I would suggest playing through. I'm trying to with a friend, but his computer likes to crash so that may not get off the ground.
