LAN issue about volcano-block HOT 15 CLOSED

Have you checked to make sure that new terrain (that is, lava all the way to bedrock) generates properly if people move into new chunks?

from volcano-block.

Yes, this is a known issue that people have trouble with LAN. Unsure how to fix unfortunately

Have you found the problem yet?

It is a bug with Topography, beyond my control

from volcano-block.

Any other way I can play with my friend then?

Explaining /how/ to do this is beyond the scope of the support I will provide you, but you could find a server to join or one of you could run a MinecraftForge server on one of your computers with the pack installed and then you should both be able to join it.

Do you know a server where we can play it?

I forgot to mention, if you would like your own private server I am partnered with a server hosting company that has one-click installation for Volcano Block. Otherwise, we do currently have an official public server. If you would like to join that server, then join our discord for more info (if you aren't already there)

I used Akliz server, but it does not have volcano block 1.0.5. What can I do?

from volcano-block.

They update their server packs ever Monday I believe, it should not be much trouble to re-install Volcano Block on your computer for whatever version Akliz uses right now, most updates only add a minimal amount of changes anyway

Thank you! And I love this mod. You have done some great work.

Best way to see which mod is responsible if any(could be some config or conflict thing) is to remove mod one by one and see if it runs good, however you need 2 computers to use this method unfortunately.

We already know it's the mod topography, which is essential to the pack. I reported the bug to the devs over 1.5 months ago, but it is what it is..

Alright so after experimenting with my friends we found an actual solution where you don't have to spend money to host a server. So the first thing you do is make sure who is going to host the server as everyone else is going to follow steps 4-7 and 10. Or try the alternative found below which hasn't been fully tested yet.
For the one hosting follow these steps:

1. Load up the modpack as normal.
2. Create the world with cheats
   2.5) Load in lots of chunks around the spawn.
3. Once done loaded exit the world and close the game.
4. Go into the modpack folder (if on curseforge right click the profile and click open folder)
5. Locate the mods folder.
6. Delete the topography mod (or move it elsewhere if you want to make a server yourself and can just put it back in).
7. Load up the modpack as normal.
8. Enter the world created in step 2.
9. Open to lan (you should know what to do from here but if you dont get radmin (blue shield icon) and have everyone join a server on there)
   10)*For those who will join the person hosting: Copy the host's ip into the multiplayer tab, put a colon, and type in the port numbers that the host will see in his chat.

This should mostly work and should be done in a world with cheats on the chance that something doesn't work. This solution should work for most as all the topography mod is needed is to just load up the world that the author created and seems to not be needed afterwards and prohibits lan playing. This will slightly modify the world (no fog :O) but the game is still majorly playable. Hope this helps.

Edit: Another alternative that would need further testing is to just delete the topography mod and create a superflat world that is a layer of bedrock and 60 layers of lava and just create the starting island yourself. It seems to work but needs further testing

Yes and I fixed my comment, the new terrain around actually loads in chunks of normal vanilla terrain but as long as enough chunks are loaded around it should be fine for a normal playthrough. Thank you for mentioning this.
