boriseng had an issue with a connected pipe which is causing either crashing or server resets.

At the moment we are having to place a "no go" area at squaffles land due to the proximity to borisengs home and the affected loaded pipe.

Squaffle if you login and are stuck let me know and i'll request a player reset for you.

I've asked boris to post the coords of the affected area so you all know to steer clear for now.

Thanks

I've got stuck in a chunk before, but managed to get out before it crashed me out of the server...

Basically I had the Macro Keybind mod installed (also known as ModMacros) and I had the return key set as /spawn ... so I logged in and repeatedly hit the return key. It took a couple of attempts but it worked. Just remember to set up the command in single player first before you try multiplayer.

Right well I believe the Block-Of-Doom is located at 194,427,69 so bookmark it so you know what to avoid. I was standing at 195,427,68

I think the danger zone is about 160m around that location, though I'm not sure as that implies one online player loads a LOT of chunks?

The big orange thing is a fluid pipe from Engineer's Toolbox. Now I have nothing against the rest of that mod but the fluid pipe appears to cause a crash if it connects to fluiducts, and possibly other mod's pipes too (unproven).

I'm also expecting trouble if the ET energy pipe is allowed to connect directly to conduit.

You should be fine if you connect it to items that have a defined direction, in or out, but as its distribution strategy is a bit rubbish I wouldn't bother.

Also there's supposed to be an admin trick for removing problem blocks.

There is but it either requires a map wide removal of said block or a local removal in game. If you know the block ID of the one in question we may be able to clear it however it may also remove everyone elses block of that same type.

I doubt anyone else uses it, because its rubbish. I'll get the ID next time the server's up.

What's rubbish about it:
It accepts 8 buckets of fluid then every 8 ticks it outputs the fluid into any valid destination. I tried it as a water mover in single player and the flow kept backing up erratically.

In single player its ID 4076.

Oh, well the server reads as down for me atm anyway (was going to log in to check if I could log in). Had no idea I lived near you boriseng, lol.
It's not a huge problem if I can't log in; I'm basically waiting for the mod pack change, had hoped it would've happened by now but I suppose broonie is busy irl.

I'm not sure if you do, what I meant was there was a huge portal built just beyond the refuge, and I think it had your name on a sign (not risking going back to check) so its more likely your main build is miles away.

There was some building near me, but I think it was an abandoned project.

Boris - that might be my base if it's on a little sandy outcrop into the water, next to a jungle biome - haven't been on FTBM in ages as have been spending all my MC time in Vanilla on my Arena

I can't remember what it looked like, best thing would be to compare coordinates, but what seems to be happening is if anyone gets close enough to the problem chunk that it loads then the server crashes, so its not practical to take a look around it now.

name:lit area,x:292,z:361,y:63,enabled:false,red:0.3414666,green:0.8587119,blue:0.5978837,suffix:,world:,dimensions:0#

oh if you're near spawn then yes there's the little refuge tower Patentedfiend and I built and then there's a small-ish (by my standard ;P) circular stargate style myst-portal nearby that leads back to the top of the tower (didn't want new players getting stuck in ages). The main squaffco base is however a good several hundred blocks distance away from that; just depends really ;P

FWIW are you seeing the server as down right now? It appears to have been down since Sunday but as I thought that was unlikely I wondered if maybe there was some routing snag that prevented me seeing it?

I believe no one was on for days at least I didn't see anyone online on cfuk home page FTBM Stats section.. it also did display the "failed to receive challenge" message that should mean server was down.. but yeah that server is a ghost town anyway..

Given the situation, and my owm part in this mess, I'd like to withdraw my previous objection to chucking it in and loading up a new modpack.
