Can't set turtlesNeedFuel to false

Hi all. I'm a middle school computer science teacher, big fan of Minecraft (and MCedu) and am using MC with ComputerCraft to teach coding. I'm loving Lua and turtles!

However, for some reason I'm not able to make the turtles not require fuel. I have set turtlesNeedFuel to false in 2 separate cfg files: ComputerCraft.cfg and CCTurtle.cfg. It actually looked like it worked for a short time last night but now they require fuel. I checked both cfg files and the value is still set to false.

Thanks in advance,

You shouldn't have to set the value in two config files. Try removing both configuration files and letting the mod generate a new one, then change the value in the new config file. Also, if this is in a multiplayer environment, please be sure that you're editing the configuration file on the server, as the client configuration files won't affect the settings on the server.

Furthermore, make sure the game (or server) isn't running when you save your edits.

Thanks for the reply. A question…. how do I remove the config files and let the mod generate a new one? If I remove them, will the mod do that automatically when MC starts up?

Yes, it will. It may be a good idea to simply move the files elsewhere so that you can restore them on the unlikely off-chance that removing them breaks something.

Thanks for the replies. I removed the 2 cfg files (Computercraft.cfg and CCTurtle.cfg), but restarting MC with the Computercraft mod did not restore or rebuild those cfg files.

I restored them from the recycle bin, and they both still read turtlesNeedFuel = false. But turtles still need fuel.

I'm running Computercraft from the Tekkitserver pack. Would that have anything to do with it?

can you post a link to the pack (if it's a public pack)

Where exactly are these files located? What's the path to them? What's the path to the tekkit install?

It sounds like you're changing the config files on the client, not the server. You're hosting the Tekkit server, correct? If so, open the path to the Tekkit server and change the value in the config file in the "configs" folder there. Changes to the client config will only affect singleplayer.
