CRAFTBOOK-2265 - Reported by MUDcraft
Craftbook version(s)3.3.4 and 3.3.7 Bukkit servers 1.3.2 and 1.4.5
Tested on three different servers.
A sign was placed on various types of blocks with [MC0020] on the second line. A lever was placed on the back of the block.
A patch of redstone dust was placed behind the lever and a redstone lamp.
The lever does not change state and no redstone pulse is observed.
The MC1020 initiated version works perfectly with the MC0420 Clock.
No additional parameters are indicated in /icdocs
/listics indicates that this IC is restricted for some reason whereas neither MC1020, nor MC0420 are restricted.
There also does not seem to be any way of setting the clock frequency as there is when using the initiated version IC with the clock IC.
I would also appreciate information on the output frequency for updating the wiki. "randomly sets the output state every (n)ticks"
There also seems to be an issue with the issue reporting form http://youtrack.sk89q.com/issue/.
I can select any project from the selection box other than Craftbook.
When attempting to select Craftbook as the project, an error banner appears "only developers can change that field, sorry."

The RandomBitST needs to be turned on by a solid redstone signal.
Comment by MUDcraft
Well I've tried everything short of taking it out to a brothel to get it turned on, still no joy.
I think I have a clue though. It doesn't get the redstone signal for some reason. I've used a redstone lamp to test this.
If I set up an IC using a redstone lamp as the IC block, and then add a redstone signal, the redstone lamp lights up and the IC does whatever it's supposed to do.
If I set up the MC0020 sign on a redstone lamp. add a patch of redstone dust to the block in front of the sign and then a lever to power the redstone dust, I can observe the following:
The redstone dust makes a line (rather than a dot) between the lever and the sign, indicating that it should be hooked up.
When I toggle the lever providing the signal, I can see the redstone light up but the redstone lamp does not light and the MC0020 doesn't function. The lever placed on the back of the IC does not cycle, randomly or otherwise.

Hmm... Are you able to test with the latest build as I have made a few bug fixes with IC's
Comment by MUDcraft
Dev build loaded fine and MC0020 is indeed fixed now.
I tested it for replication and it does appear to cause client side block replication but I haven't seen server replication.
Feature Suggestion:
It might be handy to include an optional parameter for clock timing similar to the MC0420 clock (n)*2ticks.
