Awesome work!

I had to change and add some entries to the score array ("rock" to "rocks", and add "jungle", among other things), but I eventually got it working.

The top chest fills up with drones a lot though, and it looks like you removed the ability to push "products" into the left-most chest?

Really looking forward to seeing where you take this!

Technium, on 26 March 2014 - 11:15 PM said:

May I suggest you add in my quick fix? It's a fine optimisation regardless of this bug. You are already condensing the chest so the first empty slot should indicate the loop can finish.

My only problem now is when the 27 slots fill up :)/>

I'm using 0.3.1 and I'm not sure if that's the difference. The double chest is a way for me to be attached to both the chest and the apiary with the apiary able to push and pull from the chest. The chest can't push and pull from the apiary since the direction down is technically the computer. I'll probably support the proxy block attached to the chest instead once I move this to multiple apiaries.

The chest should be pushing to the analyzer and then pulling back. There is a variable called analyzerDir that needs to be configured with the correct direction. Check that first, the default is "east". Second, remove the chest above the apiary to see if the bees are on that side or above the computer. If you're having a problem with only 27 real slots, then maybe the bee is on the wrong side of the double chest.

Also, there's a bug I'm working on with the bee selection getting stuck if missing the correct combination of princess and drone. There will be another update in a few hours. Updated, try it out! Overall this has been quite an improvement over the old version with the ability to choose from multiple princesses.

NerdimusPrime, on 27 March 2014 - 02:23 AM said:

Even with a setup facing the same direction as the default, with a double chest I'm getting the message: openbee: 108: slot id (27) must be less than size (27) If I use a half chest I don't get that message, and bees are pushed to the analyzer and back to the chest correctly, but then don't get pushed down into the apiary because there's only a half chest that doesn't cover the apiary.

First, get the new update. Second, try a setup like this with a proxy block and change the chestSide variable to "diamond_0" or whatever the name of it is after right-clicking on the wired modem. Also, this new version doesn't need an analyzer, so you can get started with breeding after finding your first piece of redstone and a few bees in a new world. (It doesn't make as good of decisions, but at least you can get to cultivated by the time you have a diamond and bronze.)

Okay, the proxy takes care of the chest problem perfectly and the optional analyzer is a great feature, but I clearly don't understand this reference bee system at all :)/>

If I put unanalysed bees in the chest it properly analyses them but won't accept some mundane fresh bees to breed Cultivated or Common ("add more species"). If I start with a selection of random analysed bees it seems to treat most/all of them as reference. I'm lost, and can't get it to start at all no matter what I do.

If the system doesn't start breeding, take a screenshot of the bees in the chest or make a list. I'll try and replicate it to see if there is a bug.

I see in the screen shot you have a "bees.species.meadows-bees.species.cultivated Drone" when I would have expected a "Meadows-Cultivated Drone". What version of CC and OpenPeripherals do you have? What mod pack is it?

VerTiGo_Etrex, on 28 March 2014 - 12:48 AM said:

I was in the middle of breeding Wight bees, and it crashed for the flowerProvider trait. The primary prints as "Flowers", and the inactive prints as nothing (nil? not sure).

In the beealyzer, it's listed as "Exotic Flowers".

That shot was after the original attempt failed, and I started throwing princesses and drones at it to see if it needed more. The hybrid one went in there by mistake. I misread that, and see what you mean now: why is the name formatting so screwy? My previous reply is the most current attempt.

Are you on a bukkit server or an MCPC+ server? Are those the only 4 mods used? Is this 1.6.4 with forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.965 or a different version?

There were issues like this in the previous version. Mostly likely the names are not matching between what the bee table is for an itemStack and what the getBeeBreedingData table returns.

EDIT: I've updated it to include the name mangle fix from the last version. I can't fully test it since my names are not mangled. Let me know if this works.

Don't feel guilty. I need testers that report errors to make the program better. I looks like you've still got the incorrect species names coming through. I've just pushed some more updates. Get the latest version and try again. Also, but a chest on top of the chest. It will ditch obsolete drones now.

Looks like the apiary interface isn't performing exactly as you're seeing there. Can I provide you with any data? or could you test on an up-to-date version of OpenPeripherals? I'd love to get this up and running and will help where I can.

You should see your reference bee count start to rise too. If it starts using reference bees to breed extra drones, it will go into a mode where it will perfect the reference bees.

Just pushed a fix for this. I'm assuming these bees have a zero percent chance of mutation. They will be less likely to be picked for any target species, which might be good if they are special.

Thy don't have 0 chance of mutation though, do they? If they're a hybrid, then they can mutate into a purebred.

Hybrid to purebred isn't always a mutation. Many times it's just spreading the trait to produce a purebred; not actually mutating.

Yes, after I get the product chest going. You can't push product to an apiary chest or indexer, so right now it's not going to work. Go ahead and put it on top to see what the behavior is. I'm think combs would just stay in the apiary and slow down the clearApiary function.

Why not use an ME interface connected to a network with a storage bus on an indexer? Set the priority very high on the storage bus and all bees will be sent into the indexer

Pushed an update. You can now put a product chest underneath the apiary. I've tested the indexer and it does not work. I'm assuming the ability to sort bees also messes with the slot numbers. The apiarist chest does work and gives you 125 slots for fairly cheap.

thanks, thats an inprovement indeed :)/>/>/> , would an me drive work? sorry ask so much questions but i would like my bees to bee all in one space :P/>/>/> ?

Don't know, try it out. I would assume an ME drive is going to have 63 slots regardless of it's capacity. It is really only useful if you have stacks of things, not unique items.

i know but using a drive with 10 times a 1k storage cell woulb be usefull, anyway, do you you have any idea why my computer constantly combined valiant with meadows when i requested an imperial?

Why not use an ME interface connected to a network with a storage bus on an indexer? Set the priority very high on the storage bus and all bees will be sent into the indexer

can you use an interface with the openbee program? if that is possible, it would be awesome

its really a wonderful program, thanks for that, but there seems to be something wrong with breeding, it's breeding cultivated <-> unweary the whole time back and forth to get to noble. It looks like the program tries to breed a common princess, but there are pure hive princess' and drones(more than enough) in the bee chest.

Notes on the indexer. I might be able to get it to work. After I pull a bee, say out of slot 5, every bee after that is moved up to fill the hole, so 6 -> 5 and 7 -> 6 and so on. I can compensate for this. I can't figure out how to put items back into the indexer. It looks like it can't be automated. If it could, I can write a version to use the indexer.

So, you have a version that had a bug. It's not displaying all of the information after selecting the pair. I can't determine what it's pairing the princess with. I also see that your targeting "imperial" instead of "Imperial". I'll put in a check for proper case. Get the latest version and try again with "Imperial".

I see that your drone count doesn't rise, so all new drones must be getting ditched. I see at the end it just does cultivated bees. I'm wondering if the reference princess and drone are the same. I see you have 22 reference bees. Are there any common bees in there?

-- remove analyzed drones where both the active and inactive species have a both reference princess and drone

fungeh, on 19 April 2014 - 04:22 PM said:

Hey mate, loving your program so far, it's finally gotten me starting on the long path of bee breeding.

Is there any chance you could write a quick post on exactly what your program does? I had a quick scan through your source code and it seems like it should be doing something with unneeded drones

-- remove analyzed drones where both the active and inactive species have a both reference princess and drone

but my bees never move from my apiarist's chest. If I've got it completely wrong is there any chance you could make it so it DOES ditch unneeded bees or at least print out a list of reference bees so I can manually clean up my chest? It's starting to get pretty full…

• It will attempt to choose the best princess and drone to breed a specific species by scoring every combination of princess and drone (except for reference bees). A percentage chance is calculated for each combination. Traits are used as tie breakers in order and can be configured by modifying the traitPriority array.
• If a species is targeted but no combination can produce the target species with a good enough chance (at least half the normal chance with pure bees), then one of the lower tier species needed is the new target. This allows you to target Imperial and have the program know to start with Commons.
• It will try to keep 1 pure princess and 1 pure drone of each type it knows about. These are reference bees. They may be used to create additional drones, but will not be cross bred. They are moved to the first slots in the chest. This option can be turned off in the code by changing the useReference variable to false.
• It will try to keep extra drones cleared out of the system. If there is a hybrid drone where both active and inactive species traits have reference drones and princesses, then it is considered obsolete. Extra drones are pushed up from the chest, so you should have a chest on a chest on an apiary.
• It can run without an analyzer, but makes poor decisions. It can only see the active trait and does not know about the inactive ones. This will get you all of the species, but it will take much longer. Reference bees are turned off in this mode.
• Extra produce is ditched in a chest below the apiary. The apiary is a full block, so the chest can't be opened. You'll need to pump the items out with pipes from one of the other mods or break the chest periodically. So, that's a chest on a chest on an apiary on a chest.
• The computer needs to be able to wrap the apiary and chest above it. To see both blocks the chest above needs to be a double chest that is over the apiary and computer, or attached to the computer with a proxy block. Chests are not full blocks, so the apiary can still see the sky. The computer could be far away from both and use a proxy block for both if wanted. The analyzer needs to be next to the chest. The apiary will pull from and push to the chest. The chest will pull from and push to the analyzer. The chest will not pull from or push to the apiary because if in double chest mode this doesn't work. The apiary will push to the product chest. The chest will push to an obsolete drone chest. All directions are configurable at the top of the program.

At this point the program isn't connected to ExtraBees machines, nor does it know anything about serums. There are 3 machines you need after you have a genome in order to inoculate bees. I'm not sure if you can easily transfer the bee around them. It would be quite a setup including all the power lines and everything. I'll consider this.

it is actually quite simple, if you have a serum, you can inoculate a drone/princess, with it in the inoculator, it wil take 2 uses (to do both active and inactive traits) after that is done, you can recharge it in the synthesizer, that will decrease the quality, to get the quality back to the max you have to use the purifier, but actually it would be fine if the bee is inoculated by the program, we have other mods to recharge the serum

You can try disabling reference bees. Scroll down a bit in the main program and you'll see a line about it.

Ah, that does seem to work. I suppose I took that as the program wanting more of the same species since it would not breed with the ones it decided were reference.

The reference bees are never cross-bred and are always kept pure in case more drones are needed. I don't care about that usually, so I just disable it.

Hi McLeopold,

We have successfully installed/setup your wonderful program and have been breeding bees for some time.

One thing we're noticing is that species are being prioritized over traits at all times. As an example if we have just common drones with semi-ok traits, the program is more focused on improving the species of bee versus related traits.

Is there any way to incorporate both best species and best traits in decisions made by the program, or at least target a trait like we can do for a species?

We tried "openbee rocky speed"; of course the species "speed" was not found.

Thoughts?

The old version should still work without any bugs, but I'm not going to continue development on it. MiscPeripherals was limited in what it could do; I couldn't get inactive traits on the bees. I was planning to use the chest peripheral with the turtle so I had enough room to do multiple princesses, but it doesn't work and the mod was never fixed and it doesn't look like it ever will be.

OpenPeripheral is the new mod of choice for integrating with CC, so I will be using that for all new programs.

I do make frequent updates to this program, so those using the monitor version will always be behind a bit. Thanks for the work on it, but I suggest doing with apemanzilla said and use "monitor <name/side> openbee".

Proxy going from computer to the chest, and I've tried a iron and a regular vanilla chest right where the iron chest is now.

witch computer doesn't matter, but have you deleted the bee.config file before you ran the program again, because that file is prioritized above the config in the program itself, type "delete bee.config" and try again.

OK. I deleted the config file, broke the computer and tried again.

First, Installed program on new computer
Edited the program to make sure it said "diamond_4" where it should of said so.
Tried to run "openbee Noble", but got the same error.

So after that I replaced the computer and made sure there was no "bee.config", there wasn't.
Edited the program to say diamond_4, and then edited the config to say the same thing in the same place.
same problem when trying to run.

Repeated those step but with "diamond_chest_4", and same thing. also tried it with a normal wood chest and it made no difference.

And I would love to use that block from that mod, but I am playing on a server on the FTB Unleashed pack that does not have it

It happened again, and I noticed what causes it. It's easier with an example:
Imagine there is 1 bee not analyzed in slot 10, for example, and after analyzing it, that bee is exactly the same as the one in slot 5. What is gonna happen when the bee is placed back in the chest from the analyzer is that they are both gonna get stacked in slot 5 and slot 10 will be empty even if there were other bees in the slots after. Then it shows that error message like I posted.

Tough i got a small problem with it…
At the moment i use the setup with the diamond chest and all, and modified the top to the peripheral that is diamond_0 (As example)
It scans the chest, tough in no way it will analyze the bees first, before they are putted in the apiary again.
Can you please help me with this? As it now breeded a lot of bees i didnt want it to breed.

The mutatron version would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking that the sometimes not doing to drone may be a server lag issue, on simple ones like noble it never happens. But on longer ones like radioactive it happens a lot. Still trying to make sure though.

Hi McLeopold,

Is OpenBee compatible with ComputerCraft 1.6.3 ? We updated CC recently and we get this now whenever we try to run openbee:

openbee:847: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

An error log is written:

openbee version 2.2.0
priority: specieseChance speed fertility nocturnal tolerance effect flowering flowerProiver territory
openbee:847: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

Any ideas?

I've tried re-installing openbee from scratch thinking there was an update to the base code.

The screenshot is facing south:

lua> inv = peripheral.wrap("top")
lua> inv.getInventorySize()

Deweyoxberg, on 11 August 2014 - 10:39 PM said:

As requested: lua:1: attempt to index ? (a nil value)

I tried all sides (top, left, right, front, back, bottom) and the end result was the same.

The latest release from computer craft makes it no longer compatible with the current version of open peripherals. As such using Computercraft and Turtles to create a semi-automated mystcraft portal system results in the turtle kicking the following error when it tries to send the inventory data of the chest to the computer "books:9: attempt to index ? (a nil value)"
It kicks this error, and then the turtle exits the program it was in. Is there any plans to update Operperiphals to be compatible with Computer craft release 1.63 on MC 1.6.4 ?
This is not a bug. Next release of OpenPeripheral will support CC 1.63

• Feature: ComputerCraft 1.6 compatible version
• Feature: common API for 1.5X and 1.6 CC versions

Nothing like this. I added a code to show me if the peripheral gets disconnected or anything, but nothing shows. It wont refill the Apiaries for some reason.. After reconnecting the modem on the first apiary in line, it refills them. As if it doesn't check the apiaries before.

Even with a setup facing the same direction as the default, with a double chest I'm getting the message: openbee: 108: slot id (27) must be less than size (27) If I use a half chest I don't get that message, and bees are pushed to the analyzer and back to the chest correctly, but then don't get pushed down into the apiary because there's only a half chest that doesn't cover the apiary.

First, get the new update. Second, try a setup like this with a proxy block and change the chestSide variable to "diamond_0" or whatever the name of it is after right-clicking on the wired modem. Also, this new version doesn't need an analyzer, so you can get started with breeding after finding your first piece of redstone and a few bees in a new world. (It doesn't make as good of decisions, but at least you can get to cultivated by the time you have a diamond and bronze.)

Front Side

Replace the double chest with a single chest of any size. Move the analyzer to still be next to the chest.



Back Side

Place a proxy block facing the new chest. Connect the computer to the proxy block and right-click each modem to turn on. You'll get a chat message displaying the name of the peripheral. Modify the script to use the chest peripheral name instead of "top".

Slackratchet, on 11 May 2015 - 06:10 PM said:

I've been messing about with this for a while and I've gotten it working for me. It seems that occasionally the code goes to ditch a bee and for whatever reason sends it up from the top chest. Obviously there is not normally something there so this causes the Other Inventory not Found error. I just put something with an inventory on top of the top left chest, in my case a generic turtle I had handy, and it works, or at least it has worked for the last few hours or so.

Feldherren, on 26 May 2015 - 07:42 PM said:

The problem regarding tables is that items are… well, tables. The original Matron code isn't treating them as such (instead treating them as objects and variables in objects). If you're familiar with Python, you could call them dicts.
So where original-Matron has bee.raw_name, ComputerCraft actually wants bee["raw_name"]; the error 'table expected; got nil' likely happens because of that kind of thing.

CaptiveCreeper, on 23 May 2015 - 08:12 PM said:

I also get the other inventory not found error but it is at line 456 and when i put another chest on top of the normal one it just throws the contents of the bottom (original) chest to the top(new one to fix the error) chest.

I did this but also placed a chest on top of the top chest, for unneeded bees, and one under the apiary, for product. I also modified the program. The function getAllStacks seems to have changed. I recreated what I assume it does and replaced all inv.getAllStacks() with getAllStacks(inv), and apiary.getAllStacks() with getAllStacks(apiary). I also replaced the config to refer to the chest by name attached with peripheral proxy. Pastebin is at http://pastebin.com/8stHYBau.

Yea. Got the same problem as you guys. It just shifts it up to the chest above it.

Hi! I LOVE the OpenBee program. You're pretty much brought me into the computercraft world in minecraft. :D/>
–snip–
please keep queen versions of the reference bees so as to save space
–snip–
I love the idea of the matron program as well, but I can't get it to use the chests properly.
–snip–
Being able to see the relevant princess and drone next to eachother would be help (bonus that it would satisfy my OCD!)
–snip–
Perhaps if we were to run the openbee program without a parameter it would first analyze the bees in the system and try to determine the best possible feature combination of traits from what is available in the chest. Then it would attempt to recreate better versions of the reference bees wherever possible!
–snip–
My 3rd idea/1st complaint is about the festive bee branch- I ran the openbee program without a parameter and it attempted to target a bee that can only be bred in April

  for slot = 7, 15 do

-- interaction functions --------------
function clearApiary(inv, apiary)
  local bees = getAllBees(apiary)
  -- wait for queen to die
  if (bees[1] ~= nil and bees[1].raw_name == "item.for.beequeenge")
	  or (bees[1] ~= nil and bees[2] ~= nil) then
    log("waiting for apiary")
    while true do
	  sleep(5)
	  bees = getAllBees(apiary)
	  if bees[1] == nil then
	    break

	    apiary.pushItem(config.chestDir, slot, 64)
	  else
	    apiary.pushItem(config.productDir, slot, 64)
	  end
    end
  end
end

McLeopold, on 11 July 2015 - 01:35 AM said:

You can't move a queen out of the queen slot of an apiary. You can only pull from slots 3-9 which is the output area. So I can't store queens for reference bees. I will look into organizing them for you during any waiting phase. What is your OCD going to say about a queen in slot 9 and a drone in slot 10 once you get your 5th reference pair?

McLeopold, on 11 July 2015 - 01:35 AM said:

Openbee can already do refinement. Pass in the traits in order and the target species. You can get the list of traits from the top of the code. I don't want it to refine with no parameters, most people just want to breed new species and use other techniques for refining.

McLeopold, on 11 July 2015 - 01:35 AM said:

The matron program should be easy to setup. Chest on top of apiary. Perhaps it was the openp API change that broke it?

Feldherren, on 26 May 2015 - 07:42 PM said:

As far as I can tell it isn't pushing items to the correct slot and is instead just pushing them to wherever in the box. Then, because the princess and drone are not in the expected slots, it fails to pull a princess and drone in and just gets stuck at that point, failing to increment generation.

-- fix for yet another API change from openp
function getAllBees(inv)
    local notbees = inv.getAllStacks()
    local bees = {}
    for slot, bee in pairs(notbees) do
	    bees[slot] = bee.all()
    end
    return bees

LuminaryXion, on 18 July 2015 - 11:23 AM said:

The program isn't able to put the princess and drone into the proper slots for the apiary to pull them for the 2nd generation thereafter. It always gets confused with product and stops after only one generation.

Yeah, I ran into that too. I'm guessing something is out of sync between forestry and openp. There is nothing I can do about that bug until it is fixed by one of the 2 mod authors.

Any thoughts on this? I'm running FTB Infinity 2.4.1 which appears to have the latest releases of all involved; OP, CC, Forestry, etc.

Hey, just out of curiosity. Is there somewhere that lists out the API's for different peripherals? I'm a developer and I am sure I could put programs together for things but trying to find out what methods are available using the tiny screen in-game is REALLY annoying.

Nope. OpenPeripherals proudly only provides documentation in-game. Or you could dig through their source code, I suppose!
