Disappearing walls and tiles over time in multiplayer

[Borkius]

With Thorium added (haven't tested others) swapped blocks disappear over time, replaced by what was replaced (eg: dirt, snow). This happens both infront of my eyes and when away from the area.

[Tyfyter]

Are all swapped tiles changed back when you save and exit?

[Tyfyter]

What exact version are you on?

[Tyfyter]

Do you have any mods other than block swap and thorium enabled?

[Borkius]

They do not return when I save and exit, and when I mine the blocks they drop what they visually are eg. dirt and snow. I have other mods but I have only noticed this issue with Thorium, and when I disable Thorium from a large modpack I use the issue goes away. The version of Tmodloader I'm on is v.0.11.8.5 and the Terraria version is v1.3.5.3 My current modlist is: Thorium Spirit Mod Mr Plague's Authentic Races Magic Storage Extra Vein Miner Recipe Browser Auto Trash Shaggy's Addon Races Boss Checklist Omni Swing Smart Doors Item Frame Weapon Rack Fixer Shorter Respawn Time Ultimate Vanity Mod Which Mod is This From?

As said I've only noticed this issue with Thorium but it's possible there's other mods on the mod browser that cause this that I don't use currently. I had Thorium and Calamity enabled in one world and when I disabled Thorium the issue stopped.

[Tyfyter]

I meant back to what they were before you swapped them, because in that case it'd just be that the tiles are only being swapped Client-Side and when grass grows or any other Server-Side random tile change occurs the client gets told what the affected block actually is and that replaces the desynced Client-Side block.

[Borkius]

The tiles\walls do not disappear and return to what they originally were when I leave the game and come back (at least not that I've noticed so far when I tested). The tiles\walls return to what they were originally even in multiplayer and I can see (and vice-versa) the returned blocks that another player also sees (even in real time as we both watch).

[Tyfyter]

So you're saying that in multiplayer if you (for example) replace a dirt block with wood all players see the dirt block being replaced by wood, but then it later becomes a grass block despite all players seeing it as wood until this point?

[Borkius]

Yeah, they also see it change back into dirt later. This happens with snow and dirt that doesn't grow grass too, and also background dirt walls.

[Borkius]

It also doesn't change all at once (the entirety of the replaced blocks), it changes over time. I'll come back to my house after exploring and half the floor is gone and replaced by dirt, and while I'm watching the other half will disappear.

[Tyfyter]

And judging by the information you initially provided, this happens with thorium enabled but not without it?

[Borkius]

Yep. I'll test some other big mods too while I'm at it.

[Borkius]

Oh I forgot to say, I also don't get the blocks back that get replaced.

[Borkius]

Ok well I re-enabled BlockSwap on my world with the same mods and now it's not doing the issue? Very strange. It's possible this starts happening over time with being in a world. Or maybe an update fixed it if you updates recently lol. I'll keep playing and see if it happens again.

[Tyfyter]

If it only occurred with Thorium enabled it seems likely that it was actually an issue with Thorium, since the tile changes from block swapping reaching other players means it couldn't be a client-server desync without heavy interference from another mod (much would also break vanilla mechanics)

[Borkius]

Alright. I'll update here if it starts happening again.

[Borkius]

So I just discovered the issue only happens in multiplayer. That's why I couldn't get it to happen again when playing singleplayer.

[Tyfyter]

Can you send the server log here? I can't tell whether this is an incompatibility or just another mod's glitch without it

[Borkius]

I guess I was wrong all along. I just disabled all mods except BlockSwap and the issue is happening in multiplayer and not singleplayer. Sorry. server.log

[Tyfyter]

Unless I misread the log you're using a different block swap mod, and iirc not even the latest version of it
