$65 to fix this bug.

[Scaleblade]

So we have come across an extremely annoying bug that we dub the "Furnace Glitch" and we are offering $65 for anyone that can create a permanent fix for this. Now before you read on you will only be paid after 2 weeks of the fix being in use and not breaking.

Okay of course there are some catches to something as simple as this and here they are:

This is a modded minecraft server running 64 magic mods and 42 plugins on a system called Thermos exact version details: 1.7.10-r0.1-SNAPSHOT : 1.7.10-1614.58

Now this is what is meant to happen: https://gyazo.com/20cd9285e3c3bd72111cf0266bd436d8 (Normal Furnace Mechanics)

Now this is what currently happens: https://gyazo.com/f73130894faccd685b33aad85eee4d78

Yes I know this is a modded furnace but it also happens with Vanilla ones too.
I have found a small hotfix that works for around 6 hours and then breaks and that is to uninstall EssentialsX and restart the server then add it back. I have a feeling that it is somehow getting mixed in with that, however there is no supported or fully functioning essentials version for this anymore as it is such an outdated version.

This is a reoccurring issue that first popped up a year ago when we first started developing 1.7.10 pack with MAGIC mods in, and is also an issue in multiple different modpacks (not just ours)

Our modpack: https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/wizard-academy.509607
Another modpack currently affected: https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/arcane-official.997262

Now: We cant simply just add and remove mods willy nilly as there are certain limitations and on adding and removing mods due to repercussions on singleplayer based worlds HOWEVER i have never had any reports of this glitch taking place anywhere but on servers which makes me want to think something is conflicting with a plugin.

Here is a full plugin list: https://gyazo.com/94cf16d02b828aa46d1f526bf71f44ca

If you need any more information on the server, feel free to reply however if it is information I dont/cant release fully public I will PM you it via MCM and I would love it if u can respect that and not spread any information around

Thank You to yas all

Alright, if you're unable to do this why not just make it so when a player clicks a furnace,
It will open up a custom menu instead, Allow the player to insert x amount of burnable items (cobblestone)
and it will give the end value item (stone) with a x second delay?

Instead of having just a fast furnace.

But if you're into that role play sorta stuff then sorry i couldn't help.

That would work if you are happy to list there and create a smelting config filled with every modded ore in the game for every time we reset xD

I was thinking of that but that was the thing putting me off the idea.

Hey, pretty sure I just made a fix for you without the need of removing/modifying Essentials. PM me if you wish ^.^.

PM'd

I've been working on this for a few hours now, have a server environment set up and running, with EssentialsX 2.15.0.1, Thermos 1.7.10-1614 build 57 and all of the server-side mods in WA. In terms of plugins, I have only installed EssentialsX, and I'm wondering why your vanilla furnaces are very fast. I have tested in Singleplayer and Multiplayer in the test environment described above, and neither of them change the speed of the vanilla furnace.

Plugins/mods outdated? You should check all of them and see if all of them are compatible.

Already have.

I have recreated most of the plugins you have with all the mods I could get from the technic folder mudpack folder. I have no problems but their was a few plugins I could not use/get, I could not get the megaplayerclear, I wonder if that could be the issue but idk, I am using a Essentials-2.X-SNAPSHOT.jar and chat and spawn. The furnace glitch doesn't seem to be active using it. This is what I discovered. I hope this helps you.

Like I said further up the thread. If the world is reset, the server restarts or something changes then the issue is fixed for a certain period of time. I think that someone does something that causes the issue to happen but I have no idea how to fix it or whatever it is caused by.

A 50% upfront to the developer would be ideal, otherwise they’ll think that you’re just scamming them.

This is a public patch. I have more than enough past buyer reputation and server base to be able to say that I will pay whoever finds a fix. If Ur just here for the money go away - I want developers that actually care about improving the game for users. Not someone that wants to make a quick few bucks. That leads to lazy coding and more mistakes being caused.

I stand by my terms.

No mate, not at all — I’m not going to be doing this for you. All I’m saying is that developers may be lead thinking that they’re getting scammed by passing the whole project over and no payment made. Can you see where I’m coming from? Even professional developers wouldn’t just come for the bucks and would prioritise on getting the code top notch first.

Have you tried using Sponge instead of Thermos? Thermos is kind of trash.

Sponge is for 1.8 and above we run 1.7.10 and there are no alternatives D:

Okay, thank you for your input. I would like to say though that I'm not going to pay you for something you cant fix.
This isn't your normal debugging. You have to know what you are on about to be able to sniff this one out. Thats why im not paying up front cause the likelihood is that 90% of all the suggestions or ideas that you could put together have already been tried and dont work.

I think I am going to be speaking to some forge developers to see if I can get a forge side mode made to fix this. I dont feel like trying to edit it from the plugin based end is going to improve anything.[DOUBLEPOST=1530318898][/DOUBLEPOST]If anyone knows how forge works down to its code level let me know.
