Hosting Server on Dedi Crash

[shutterbrandon]

Launcher/pack Version: 2.1.1

Operating System: Ubuntu 8.04 64bit.

Version of Java: 1.7 64bit.

Description of Problem: We are getting continuous crashes, sometimes 2 minutes after launch, sometimes 4 hours. However, everything seems to point to the pipe bug that is common around here. Also getting a jobs bug, not sure if you guys are able to help with that at all.

Error Messages: This is the last piece of code in my log.

Someone hooked up a wooden pipe to a Condenser. This is a known bug and unless you remove either of the offenders your world's fucked.

This happened on my server to. Is there anything else you can use to extract stuff from condensers?

The bug happens if you don't have anything in the Condenser's top left production slot, so as long as you have something there it shouldn't throw an NPE.

RedPower's pneumatic tubes don't blow up if faced with that situation though.

A solution I found was to stop server, disable ee, let the offender relogin the ee stuff is removed and then stop server and enable ee. Note: this will remove all ee items from the game.

So everyone will be punished.

U could aslo try resetting that chunk if you knwo what it is using commands. something liek chunkfixer maybe - not tried it tho so might be worth offline testing.

Couldnt you just use MCedit to remove the offending blocks? Assuming of course you know where the issue is.

Is this only wooden pipes that do the condenser bug?

Yeah. Bit of explanation though: the bug only happens when nothing is in the Condenser's target slot (the thing in the top right that designates what it should make). If something's in that slot the bug won't trigger.
