Re: Cant Move/Walk only fly up

Is it possible this was a corrupted player file? Try checking the "host server", creating a different account and see if it fixes it, if it does, you can delete your old player account's files (losing everything in your inventory) or see if you can find the issue in the file, comparing it ...

Use a mesecon, digiline is for sending data between nodes.

Think of mesecon like a mains cable, and a digiline like a telephone cable :P

[Solved] Drawing a box in a set location (with lua mapgen)

This is probably a really simple and stupid question. But I'm stuck :/ I need to use lua mapgen to draw a hollow box with a pre-set "radius" around a set position, which can be changed per-world. The box is bigger (possibly much bigger) than a single 80³ mapchunk too, which is where I get ...

I agree with this.

I don't see much potential for issues if CSM is only allowed to modify the node placement prediction.

The server uses sauth IIRC so you could probably whip up a script to check, but if it's been 6 months it's unlikely the data would be saved :/

BTW, am I the only one that's unable to connect to the server?

Re: [Mod] Better Fences [better_fences]

Never a good idea. The decision might be different from what the player wants. Then don't install this mod and use the default fences which are even less likely to connect the way the player wants: https://i.imgur.com/2oCkkbq.jpg https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/19180682/44498566-34016780-...

There should be a way to distinguish these two fences in the inventory, for example a small overlaying icon. The mod will automatically decide which fence to place and update the surrounding ones, only one fence should come up in your inventory when you dig it and in creative inventory. It should a...
