[Solved - Version 0.4.3] blockoregen.xml gets overwritten during load

[rigerc]

Unless I'm doing something completely wrong, the blockoregen.xml gets overwritten with a clean version every time. Am I not supposed to edit that file? It doesn't seem to pick up my own XML file and can't find any documentation on it.

[jtmnf]

Are you using the last version? I tested it and it worked fine! The purpose is for you to change the file as you wish! Any other file will not work because the mod was written to acess that file, not other :\

[rigerc]

Yeah I'm using latest version with Forge 2073

[jtmnf]

Can you send me a pastebin of your xml file? I programmed the mod to overwrite the xml file when there is an error on it... Maybe that's the problem...

[rigerc]

Sure: http://pastebin.com/5RsU5TRL

But if that's the case there's probably an error in it. The XML validates but haven't had the time to thoroughly check it. Also I'm using block metadata, but was under the assumption it'd fail gracefully - maybe that's the problem?

[jtmnf]

Ok, I saw the problem... You added some biomes that probably it doesn't recognize, so it will crash... But, before I fix it, can you handle me your log too? I want to check if it's the same error that I get!

[rigerc]

The log is too big to pastebin, but I think I know what you're talking about:

[23:45:22] [Client thread/INFO] [SimpleOreGen/simpleoregen]: Block: Block{minecraft:netherrack} [23:45:22] [Client thread/INFO] [SimpleOreGen/simpleoregen]: Xml file created with a simple example. [23:45:22] [Client thread/TRACE] [simpleoregen/simpleoregen]: Sent event FMLPreInitializationEvent to

it's because I specified a nether biome in the overworld, right? Dumb oversight on my part :)

[jtmnf]

Actually no, I did not see if the biomes and dimensions are correct... What I can is that the "biome_essence" is ok, but the other final 3 aren't... The problem is that you have dimension's id but not names... I need to change that, I know... Try this http://pastebin.com/BRZet4La

[rigerc]

The world doesn't start for me, getting a 'IllegalArgumentException: bound must be positive', probably an error in my XML somewhere.

But it doesn't overwrite the XML anymore, thanks!

[jtmnf]

Pay attention that metadata is still not working... I'm working on it asap! It's 50% done right now...

[rigerc]

Hey, trying out the new update but it's not working for Substratum (NullPointerException). Pretty weird, can't get Substratum to work with other orespawn mods either. Do you know what they're doing different?

[jtmnf]

Hm... Substratum is from which mod?

[rigerc]

Substratum is a utility mod that adds several ores

[jtmnf]

I'm going to check that out! Thanks!

[jtmnf]

Ok... So, I went to the source of Substratum and I saw that the author uses variant=ore=copper... I didn't expect that, but I'll try to fix it ASAP... Having 2 equal signs makes my mod useless because it won't spawn anything (my program reports that is an error and it will return the default block)...

[rigerc]

Thanks for the reply! It's probably something that should be fixed on his side I'd think - I've previously made a issue for it on Substratum here: https://github.com/EXTER7/Substratum/issues/18

[jtmnf]

I already sent a message, but I'll fix it in my code too ;) I don't know how many mods use this in their json's variant file... Did you check the how to use metadata, right?

[rigerc]

Yeah, I used

also used variant=zinc, same error.

[jtmnf]

For Substratum it should be: substratum:ore[variants=ore=zinc]... But that doesn't work either because I programmed it wrong...

[rigerc]

I see you updated, does that mean this should be working?

Because I'm still getting a NullPointerException :(

[jtmnf]

That should be working, yes... Damn it... I'll try to figure that out!

[jtmnf]

Try this new build: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ok87l9mfvm9fif2/simpleoregen-1.10.2-0.4.3.jar

[rigerc]

Hm, it doesn't choke on the config anymore, but I'm getting this error/crash

[18:51:46] [Client thread/INFO] [SimpleOreGen/simpleoregen]: No properties added to the block 'biomesoplenty:biome_finder'. Returning the default state.

But I think that's because I maybe used the wrong name? Either way I removed those blocks (also had it Extreme Reactor's yellorite) and I still get the crash.

[jtmnf]

Did you change the xml? If so, can you send it again?

[rigerc]

The xml I'm using: http://pastebin.com/E6xys49e

to not get the error durring the xml parsing delete the yellorium and biome_finder entries, but they should work regardless, those blocks exist in my game.

[jtmnf]

Which mod adds yellorite? BR didn't had an update to 1.10.2, right?

[rigerc]

Yeah there was a fork to 1.10. It's Extreme Reactors on Curse.

[jtmnf]

I'll check that out tomorrow! Thanks ;)

[jtmnf]

I guess I was wrong... Remove the "variants=" part... For example, instead of substratum:ore[variants=ore=platinum], you have substratum:ore[ore=platinum]

It doesn't fix everything, but it works for other parts...

The version that I sent you and the version that is on Curse does NOT support metadata in the spawn command yet

[jtmnf]

I removed the Immersive Engineering ores, Mekanism ores and the biome_finder and the log is this: [00:43:35] [Client thread/INFO]: No properties added to the block 'minecraft:clay'.

And when generating a world it generates everything correctly. I used this xml.

[rigerc]

Alright! Weird that the others don't work then, maybe because they do things differently? Thanks for your help anyway

[rigerc]

Ok so it seems I fucked up, should've been using biome_block instead of biome_finder of course. Now I get no errors in the XML, sadly the world still won't generate - that's probably IE then?

edit: After removing both the IE ore and the biome_block the world doesn't crash on generation. It's probably the biome_block fuckig it up

[jtmnf]

Weird... biome_block is from Biomes'O Plenty?

[rigerc]

Yes, but it only generates in The End. But both the IE ore and the BoP ore make the generator crash at the moment

[jtmnf]

Hm, ok! During this day I'll test it and try to figure that out ;)

[jtmnf]

First error that I detected: min_y and max_y are switched :P the program didn't have any protection to that, but I added it now ;) If you try to go to the Nether, it will crash too! I'm trying to see more things...

[jtmnf]

If you change the min_y and max_y, it will run now :) I'll update a version that fixes some stuff (the commands and the protection to that part). Everything generated for me, in my tests ;)

[rigerc]

Can confirm!
