Oarc Multiplayer Spawn

by Oarc

Provides a better multiplayer experience by allowing players to have separate spawns around the map. This mod provides a custom spawn system for multiplayer co-operative play. The goal is to provide as close to a vanilla experience as possible (while also supporting compatibility with other mods where possible.) [Now supports all the new planets in Space Age!]

g error in pre-existing server

3 months ago

hello i have been looking for a mod that could let me and my friends set spawn points for convenience sake but got this error when trying to load the mod into our already existing save;

Error while applying migration: Oarc Multiplayer Spawn: oarc-mod-V2.1.10.lua

oarc-mod/migrations/oarc-mod-V2.1.10.lua:59: attempt to index field 'player_surfaces' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
oarc-mod/migrations/oarc-mod-V2.1.10.lua:59: in main chunk

i am unsure if the mod is simply incompatible with already established saves or if there are some crossed wires, either way I would love to know!

Oh interesting catch! Yep, typically it is recommended to start a new game with this mod because it will force you into a fresh start when you first load it.

I can update the mod though to make sure it doesn't crash due to this bad migration code and you can try to see if you can load it. Definitely keep a backup save though.

Thank you!

Hopefully the latest update fixes that error. If not, let me know please, thanks!

sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday, it got a bit late. some interesting things happened, the error was fixed and the save loaded but I spawned on nauvis (i was on vulcanus originally) the actual world and all that data saved but the map visual progress (ie. the in-game map) and my platforms did not. I wonder if you could implement a setting where if you load the mod into an already established world it preserves the location for all players who had one. also not sure about the map or it's not super important but would be much appreciated (the platforms more so). oh also my ability to travel to new place platforms seems to have been stripped.

Unfortunately I can't make the mod support that as the whole thing is based on providing custom spawns to each player and there is a LOT that goes into that. It would be a major feature/rewrite to support having some players be "outside" the system, so as much as I want to, I can't at this time. I'd recommend starting fresh if you do decide you want to use the mod.

ok that fine, thank you for all your help!
