#103 ghosts

Fixed thanks to cpw finding a similar bug in the 1.3 version. Dunno how are we gonna handle that, b release?

This bug, if chased down and modified, could be used to equalize storage devices (turned into a feature). Did anyone else realize that?

Just do like RP2 with batteries, but with some limits to keep FPS alive.

Best way to implement storage controller block that link every storage inside 5cube into single entity with shared storage, this will allow lots of fun with batboxes (125 batboxes acting like single block).

Not sure if it's the same bug, but it looks too close to create a separate topic.

E.Net won't break if you move its parts with frames. So if I want to charge the MFE on my mining platform and then move it away from the base, it will still receive EU from wind towers on my base.
It's getting fixed once I reload the world.

Hello.

After massive testing, here is what i can tell so far;
the problem is that, for the game (SSP AND SMP both reacting the same), cables are not really destroyed, or connection is still existing. It does that with some BLOCKS too.

Here are several bugs you can totally reproduce :
place a machine that receives a too high input, it will explode... an infinite number of times. Even with cables removed. Only a removal of the source of the input, or placing accordingly transformers then cables again can stop the permanent explosions.

Another consequence is that a mffs (forcefield core), for example, will drain constantly E.U. slowly... ...even if you removed that very mffs.
Nasty.

In general, it seems there's a problem at "updating blocks" when a player is doing something.

I found this bug on cpy server, and after 2 hours of constant testing, including in solo player, we noticed IC2 1.103 version was the cause (tested on his test server with 2 ported builds, then on solo player with ONLY IC2 1.103). It doesn't happen at all in 1.97 version.

Interesting. Is it wrong that I just got a trap idea?

The same happened to me, power goes to my Mass Fab even though I destroyed the cable connected to it.

So did you release this fix? I would appreciate you making it available (1.103 ver) if possible.

There will be no 1.103b release.

I dont know why, but here is a simple statement.

The question is only why a fixed bug will not become a release in 3 weaks?

Maybe they loose the sources of any MC1.2.5 version. Any other answer will be a shame.

We actually lost means to build it, and the 1.3 side is getting complicated because even being very specific about removing the TE on block removal still results in ghosts for 10% of the userbase.

Ah ok, thanks for the link. I'll just go back to 1.97 while i wait for redpower to update to 1.3.2.

No problem.

But for the future please keep in mind that people who have a server need stable mods. This means that they will later update to actual MC versions but also will give new items or anything else to the player.

There is no need to update a MOD like IC² in 2-3 weaks. We love IC² and remain faithful.

IC² 1.106 is happy Bug testing and understanding the new MOD system, but actual real playable is only MC 1.2.5 with hopefully bugfree MOD's.

Is there a chance to build a small group debugging 1.103 while the main group support and prog for MC 1.3.2 ?

Greatz

Привет, Россия!
I have same issue: I created a , and connect him with glass fibre cable. He's dissapeared (and MFSu too), and even without cable MFSu exploding.
Machines drains energy to exploding, I scared at the first time... But in video I am lolled out, спасибо, автор.

I just had the most annoying version of that bug when I accidentally connected the output of my MFSU to my machine set (Macerator, Furnace, the usual stuff). Lucky me realized in time that I did it as no machine so far drew power, so none exploded, so I quickly cut the line apart.

But from that point on every time I tried to use a machine it exploded. After the second explosion, I decided to dismantle the machine and used my wrench: the machine exploded. So I decided to dismantle the MSFU first, then the next machine, and it exploded. With the MFSU in my pocket. Once all machines had exploded I realized that even the Batbox was still transmitting all its power to the MFSU in my pocket! And if tried to place any new machine anywhere on the no longer existing line it instantly exploded as well.

Had to restart the server to get rid of that. -.-
