[solved] Chunks don't load while teleporting to a location

[pitman-87]

Hey guys,

 

I have some issues with my TF2 teleporter mod, and I have no idea why that happens since 1.4.2 ( otherwise I wouldn ask here )

 

1. Sometimes (SMP and SSP) when a player gets teleported to a location, the chunks won't load anymore.

The player glitches around in the air (in creative mode it's possible to fly around).

After that happens, nothing gets loaded anymore (entities stay on their place, squids are floating in midair, no new chunk updates).

I know you wanna see some code, but I'm not sure if its relevant and if this is a bug of Forge or Minecraft or I missed something (maybe the server needs a call to pre-load some chunks since MC 1.4.2 or something)

Everything I'm doing is sending the server a teleport request (sending a packet with coordinates) and the server sets the new player location with:

player.setPositionAndUpdate(tp1.xCoord + 0.5F, tp1.yCoord + 0.3F, tp1.zCoord + 0.5F);

 

My position after teleport:

I still can fly around but no new chunk-updates:

2.

 

I'm not sure if that issue exists since 1.4.2 or before.

When I'm using a portal to the nether I spawn sometimes inside some blocks under or beside the nether portal (both ways).

I have absolutely no idea why this is related to my teleporter mod, but many users reported that to me (and it happened to me sometimes too).

 

I appreciate your help

You need to force update the area before sending the player there. Though it kills my mod download to help you take a look at my code

https://github.com/DarkGuardsman/GSM-TP/blob/master/src/common/aTele/Main/BlockTP.java

you need this to cause the chunks to load

world.markBlockAsNeedsUpdate(i, j + b, k);

I tried it, but it don't help

Even force chunkloading don't help and sometimes it happens with the /tp x y z command too.

 

I quess I figured it out and the force chunkloading itself on startup was a problem.

If I remove it, both issues are gone.

guess i usually don't have that issue since i force update the chunk several times and check if its safe to teleport to the location. Btw nice mods wish you luck on updating them
