BuildCraft 2.2.8 – SMP blocking bugs fixed

Yet another hotfix. Some pretty annoying issues for SMP on the 2.x stable branch have been fixed. Hopefully, this will be one of the last one there, so that I can fully concentrate on the 3.x one!

For 3.x, only minor fixes have been implemented. Most of them are for people developing mods relying on BuildCraft.

BuildCraft 2.2.8

#65 broken pipe do not release contents
Items in traveling in the pipe are now correctly released when the pipe is broken.

#84 SMP pipes don’t disapear for other players
SMP pipes now properly disapear and reaper when other players are changing them. In particular, even if there was an other pipe at the same location, they will correctly be displayed.

#87 obsidian pipe may suck items in infinite quantity
In SMP, obsidian pipe may extract infinite amount for a same item, this should now be fixed.

#88 two players may duplicate objects with a workbench
The dupe bug where two player could generate items out of a workbench is fixed.

#89 decrease the amount of oil
The medium size oil deposits generation has been slightly decreased.

#91 investigate diamond pipe issue
Diamond pipes don’t crash clients anymore in SMP.

#16 quarry should consider oil like other liquids
Quarry will ignore oil as well as other blocks such as flower or grass.

#92 fix block size magic constants
Magic constants for block list size have been fixed in the code.

BuildCraft 3.0.4

#73 improve liquid API
The liquid API is now based on stacks, taking into account meta, and can be used with any kind of container.

#90 use dynamic / configurable blocks ids for laser and assembly table
The assembly table and laser block ids can now be configured.

#66 gates transfer wire signals without wires
Gates do not conduct signal anymore if they don’t have wire.

#74 laser effects remain after laser block is moved
“Phantom” laser still in effect after block removal is fixed.

#85 add “from” in power reception
In the API, it is now possible to know what directions the power is coming from.

I’ve updated the “Old releases” area so that you can get 2.2.7.

What’s the problem with 2.2.8?

    I need a little more than that… Have a look at http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/184380-modding-tips-and-tricks/ to see how to extract useful information out of the black screen…

some random reason can’t get engines to pump oil out of pipe. the engine just faces in the ground and I can’t get it to change it orientation to face the wooden extraction pipe to pipe the oil out from the tank and into the following pipes. I tried so shove a few more around it but that didn’t work either…

  the engines don’t seem to work with anything after more testing. i have a few mods running buildcraft, Krapht’s Logistic Pipes and too many items
  here is the world data http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52997158/2.rar
  you should be able to see a brick house from the spawn point everything else is not very far away at all

    ps. Sorry about the mess of pipes at the back of the oil tank i was experimenting on ways of getting the oil out of the ground as fast as possible. I had to keep resetting the 9 oil pumps as they would stop going down to suck up the oil so i would have to pick them up and put them down again and they would work again for a while then repeat.

      oh ok sorry about that i couldn’t find a buildcraft.cfg what was found i uploaded. The hidden door thing was from another time i don’t have that currently installed http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52997158/config.rar

      Still not good. The file that I’d like to take a look at is located on buildcraft\config\buildcraft.cfg in your Minecraft Folder.

I hate to say this but fix #16 is kinda messing me up because quarry’s ignore grass When I start the quarry I have to dig up all the grass on top and then if i’m not careful ill fall into the hole it just gets really annoying trying to get out

oh ok now i found it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52997158/buildcraft.rar

power.framework=buildcraft.core.RedstonePowerFramework is your problem, as always. Check out the common problem and resolution post (http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/installation/problems-and-resolutions/), second entry.
