b Interface chests randomly stop working

8 years ago

Love your mod! But I ran in some game breaking issues.

I started to use interface chests quite massively, but it appears that on random times, random interface chests stops working. I'm unable to see a pattern. Removing and replacing the interface chest fixes the problem.

I also use Factorissimo mod heavily, maybe it has to do with the fact i'm hopping to "other maps"? Though it's only like 1 or 2 of the 100+ interface chests that stops working every 20-30min.

hey spaceful, i too have encountered this in this mod and figured out and implemented a solution.

the mod author keys off of a magic number between 1 and 5 + the chests x and y coordinates. Thus, if the magic number picked for your chest in your factorissimo dimension was 1 and the x and y coords were 1 and 1, then the next time you put a chest down in the same place in a different factorissimo dimension (and that magic number is also 1) then only one of them will work as it will bump the other one out of the update queue. This was a pain in the ass to figure out but I have fixed it with a simple patch.

The patch modifies the keying system to also take in account the surface/dimension index, this way it is literally impossible to overwrite the previous chests as they'd have to be placed in the same x and y AND in the same factorissimo dimension or any other surface.

I'll submit this patch to the author so he can incoporate it in, if you want it now just open up this mod's zip file, replace control.lua with the one i've provided, zip it back up and done! It will take a while to load initially, because the mod has to scan and fix all the chests that are broken. http://pastebin.com/3HsCtELj

patchset has been merged, if you update the mod the chest problems should be fixed.
