Author Topic: Saving blocks on dedicated  (Read 1692 times)

Just wanted to ask, how does one save blocks on dedicated to be sure they saved them all? I know you can just save them, but it will only save blocks you saw, and it's possible you may miss some.

There must be some command to make sure it just saves all the blocks. If there is, please tell me.

None that I know of.
Also, I don't think it's only on dedicated servers.

If you use Chrono's server saving mod you won't save event parameters


I should get around to fixing it up.

Let me know when you fix the event saving, because that would be perfect for me.




Lucky for me, I read things before I just use them. I also had your post ahead of time, but read the comments anyway.

Still though, it would be nice if it got updated to work properly.

You don't have to literally look at every brick. They just have to be within a certain radius. Fly/walk around for awhile, you should be good.

That does not work in the case of a spread out or really large build. Bricks will actually de-ghost. Walking around will only change which blocks have deghosted. the only sure fire way, is to do a save that doesn't care about ghosted blocks.

I'm pretty sure that bricks do not de-ghost.

True. The only way for a ghost object to be removed from your replicated client simulation is for the object to be deleted on the server-side.

Waiting for approval on update.

I have a build where they actually do this. The build is spread out over a long distance, and when you go from one spot to another, the previous one you were in, is no longer ghosted for a few blocks.

Seeing as I've actually seen this, I'd have to say that they probably do deghost.

Maybe I'm using the wrong term.. I mean what you see happen is the blocks re-appear, when you go from one area to another. It keeps on happening, and if you save on dedi, it won't be possible to save them all, because it is impossible to have them all showing, since some keep going away.
