Iskandar's Travels in Minecraft: The LP and the MP Server Thread MKII - Page 2

Iskandar · 10-27-2011, 10:53 AM

Huh. I had your problem as well, and my only fix was to remove Optifine, and things are fine now.

Will check.

edit: try nuking the buildcraft, mods, and config directories under your minecraft installation.

Destro_Yersul · 10-27-2011, 10:55 AM

Wonder if it would work better if I added Optifine back in. It worked with it for me earlier. Wouldn't that be funny?

Iskandar · 10-27-2011, 11:01 AM

Join mumble, I'll try to help

Aww my new house didn't get shown in the video. It was up but you never went to the teleporter with the Copper blocks.

Domochevsky · 10-27-2011, 11:13 AM

Hm, this is definitely a problem... something about new terrain being generated apparently crashes random clients. Somehow. With no error messages. :/

I'm wondering though: Did you overwrite the previous version or did you start over with a clean jar? If the former, try the latter.
Applying the ModloaderMP fix might also do something for you there.

Mods currently in use:

For those if you with crashing problems with my installer, please try going into a singleplayer world and see if the crashing is also occurring there. If it is, it is my problem, if it isn't, it is a problem with a server that Domo and I will have to track down.

I have been playing in Singleplayer, trying to figure out how IndustrialCraft and BuildCraft works. This is a problem with the server, I think.

Iskandar · 10-27-2011, 11:41 AM

Good then. In theory my installer should not be causing problems, and if it is, I can't fix it. In theory, it only does automatically what is usually be done by hand, IE dumping stuff in the minecraft jar and mods folder, and that is it.

Domochevsky · 10-27-2011, 11:48 AM

It doesn't add the ModloaderMP fix (linked further up), though, which might help here. Did anyone try it out?

DreamingMage · 10-27-2011, 11:57 AM

It seems to be working for me.

Iskandar · 10-27-2011, 11:11 PM

And now, a special edition of my SP LP, a collection of mods I rejected for one reason or another, but are too cool not to share:

Crossblade · 10-28-2011, 01:57 AM

That punchy mod is way too loud...
Tale of a Kingdom looked cool though, in theory.

Iskandar · 10-28-2011, 02:04 AM

Yeah, Tale of Kingdoms came VERY close to being a focus of my SP LP. In the end, I decided that I REALLY didn't want to turn Minecraft into a RTS, nor did I want to focus on fighting quite that much.

Having said that, I'd watch the hell out of a LP of that mod.

I deleted the entire bin folder and let Minecraft redownload everything. That's the cleanest JAR I could get. I've tried the modloader MP fix, and it's still doing it. So, yeah.

I have the same problem as him.

Iskandar · 10-28-2011, 09:25 AM

That is annoying. If it works in single player, but not in multi, there is something wrong with the server itself.

Might be a good idea to have Domo kill your profiles and have you start over at spawn, see if that helps.

Won't I lose all the stuff that I'm carrying?

Iskandar · 10-28-2011, 10:00 AM

Yes, you would. I can, however, replace it easily enough.

Get on mumble, will you, and I'll try to work you through this.

I am in class at the moment, so speaking to my computer while my teacher is lecturing might be considered suspicious, at best.

Iskandar · 10-28-2011, 10:07 AM

Ah, well. I'll be around for a bit. If you log in while I'm around, i'll pull youto spawn, which might fix your problem.

Otherwise, you'll need to write down anything important you are carrying, and I'll have Domo wipe your profile.

It worked for me.

Edit: Yeah, crashes. It seems to be that hanging on the edge of the world WILL crash the client as new terrain is generated. This should NOT be happening. You are fine as long as you are near terrrain that is already generated. Wandering into new territory, or if you are near where Domo cropped, bang, crash.

Iskandar · 10-28-2011, 10:38 AM

Huh, okay, VERY weird. Went exploring a bit, everything is fine. Come over a mountain, into a valley, CTD. Log in, move a bit, CTD. Log in, don't move for a few minutes, keep exploring, no problems.

What?

My computer is going to die, so I'll do this later.

Iskandar · 10-28-2011, 11:46 AM

ok, found the error.
Domo, managed to trap and copy the error.

Iskandar · 10-28-2011, 12:05 PM

OK I found the crash, I fixed the crash.

Those who have used my installer (that would be you 3Sec) need to go to wherever they installed minecraft and wipe out the buildcraft folder.

It turns out that the bucketfiller mod conflicts with something in there, and by deleting it you force buildcraft to rebuild it, thus resolving the problem.

Destro_Yersul · 10-28-2011, 12:13 PM

Can confirm that works. Tried it myself, no longer getting crashes.

Also, will put up another episode of my LP tomorrow.

Domochevsky · 10-28-2011, 01:05 PM

Good, good. Let's hope that lasts.

Meanwhile... suggestion: adding this mod to the server. Wireless redstone. It adds a new block that can be connected to each other like a radio for redstone wiring. What's your opinion on that? (Yes, it will require adding it to the client installer as well.)

Zain · 10-28-2011, 09:28 PM

Colour me interested, but apprehensive about that one domo.

I was interested in Industrial Craft at first, but I am getting quite disinterested now. Buildcraft seems buggy as hell, and I'm not having any fun experimenting in Singleplayer. Adding these to the server seems cool enough, but I can't keep up with the times, and I am only embarrassing myself trying. If even more layers of complexity are introduced, then I'm afraid I will no longer be able to join you in your new utopia.

Iskandar · 10-28-2011, 11:09 PM

3Sec: Yeah, that was why I haven't really been pushing more mods to the server. I don't want to overly complicate things for those for whom the base game is good enough.

On a related tangent, has my suggested fix fixed your crashing issue? I hope so, my goal with the installer was to make things as painless as possible for those who wish to join me on my travels.

Zain · 10-29-2011, 12:19 AM

I feel that we've reached a nice plateau when it comes to mods.
