Gate Block rendering issues? (along with other things)

[Akitori]

So I'm not certain entirely how the gateblock works, it's supposed to render a entire row of blocks, right? Well, mine currently isn't, shows some as vanished, others as not.

Latest release, (just released even) with forge 2509.

Also found a bug involving 2 items, one of which may not be a bug and a feature while the other certainly is a bug.

Feature?: Hidden daylight sensors aren't able to be inverted like the vanilla counterparts.

Bug: Secret Trapped Chest gives no redstone output at all.

what is the secret gate disguesed as. Also the secret daylight sensors are able to invert, but ill make sure now. Secret Trapped chests give +1 redstone output for how many people are using them. I havnt added comparator output yet but ill work on that

[Akitori]

Secret gate was grass block, but bug occurs on all blocks tested (vanilla and modded)

[Wyn-Price]

also regarding the gate, can you try putting the gate a somthing that dosnt have a full bounding box (like a torch) and activate it. then see if the non rendered blocks have the same bounding box

[Wyn-Price]

Ok i figured out what causes the non rendered blocks. Its when you stand in the way of the gate while activating it. Fixing now

[Wyn-Price]

also one last thing, could you check the logs and see if theres any errors

[Akitori]

Tested with gate block, gate block does not take bounding block of torch, its all cubed. Also for any errors in logs, none are popping up on console server side at least.

[Akitori]

Concerning thing to note, the gateblock parts (the long invisible blocks) don't disappear when the gate block is broken..is that intentional?

[Wyn-Price]

no its not. Ill fix that now

[Wyn-Price]

also can you look at the client logs, i think it might be an issue there

[Akitori]

Found something interesting.

This was in the client logs...Says something about packet updates and tile entities. Might be the thing you're looking for?

[Wyn-Price]

how often did you get this issue. Was it every time or did it not happen that often

[Akitori]

Happened twice in the log, I'm not sure of specifics, guessing when i used the gate blocks.

[Wyn-Price]

was it every time you used the gate blocks or randomly

[Akitori]

I would say randomly.

[Wyn-Price]

ok ive managed to replicate it multiple times. I found out what causes it but i cant figure out why

[Wyn-Price]

Ok i think ive come up with a solution to the first issue and have fixed the block breaking issue Regarding the light detector:

[Akitori]

that's cool!

[Wyn-Price]

ok i also fixed the trapped chest issue

[Wyn-Price]

@Akitori ok releasing a new version now. Should be uploaded soon
