Mandikor was it a modded block or any block cause the crash ? Because while trying to reproduce nothing happened ^^'

💬 Mandikor, Mar 6th at 6:57 PM

Flo_12344 Basically nothing at all. Before that, however, I had played around with the new color setting for the selection frame of v1.19.4. At the time of the crash, the 2nd color option was selected. And when I then got a block into focus, the crash occurred.

💬 Flo_12344Author, Mar 6th at 12:34 PM

Mandikor what was your last action before the crash ?

Still better than the vanilla options. Those preset colors aren't really helpful.

💬 DanaCraluminum, Feb 19th at 1:19 PM

Most of this is in the vanilla now

💬 ShamblerDK, Feb 19th at 1:15 PM

You misspelled "Outline" in the title :-)

💬 AzuliBluespots, Jan 19th at 10:49 AM

IT'S UPDATED!

💬 RikeiR, Dec 31st 2023 at 4:56 AM

I love this MOD.

So, I strongly hope you can support this as it crashes in v1.19.x.

💬 tRead, Dec 11th 2023 at 8:33 PM

I want to add this to the Accessibility page of the wiki but it took me awhile to figure out if/how this mod is helpful.  Could you describe the ways that this mod's features make the game more playable/enjoyable? Yanazake

💬 Wandour, Oct 3rd 2023 at 11:22 AM

seems like the mod is working smoothly now!

💬 Flo_12344Author, Oct 3rd 2023 at 9:51 AM

Wandour the original outline not showing was because I was disabling it on world loading so that it wasn't visually conflicting with the other outline (I removed that because I realized it wasn't needed anymore) so on crash it wasn't reenabled but when exiting a world and removing the mod it was good in my tests but I still don't understand why you were crashing but at least now the mod does'nt remove the original outline (and reenable it if updating the mod)

💬 Wandour, Oct 3rd 2023 at 8:51 AM

Flo_12344 same issue happened but I wanted to add one more point, it seems like my outlines no longer exist after removing the mod when the crash happened

I have a theory, maybe since my outlines disappeared suddenly the mod is crashing because of that?  

I do not know why my outlines no longer shows but Im just connecting the timeline of events

which might make sense since im the only one crashing here
and everyone seems fine
i believe because my game base block outline vanished suddenly I can no longer use the mod ether cuz there are no outlines
i don't know how that happened or how to fix it
i tried reinstalling the game and no luck

Update : I completely removed the game from my PC this time including the roaming data
and It seems my suspicion might be correct
Indeed when the outlines disappeared the crashing begins
now when the outlines are back because i frelshy installed the game again
it's working normal

I'm not sure if a side effect of this mod might cause the outline to vanish from the base game but it might be a good idea to dig into that to avoid other players forced to delete all their data and saved keybind to get back the outlines

💬 Flo_12344Author, Oct 3rd 2023 at 8:33 AM

Wandour Tried something let me know if it's fixed but not sure if it will work because I'm not able to reproduce the crash

💬 Wandour, Oct 3rd 2023 at 7:14 AM

Flo_12344 instant crash when i look at a block so i cant really see other blocks but the block i looked at is a pine plank (i have a source up mod for re texture so idk if that matters)

💬 Flo_12344Author, Oct 2nd 2023 at 9:31 PM

Wandour Is it with all blocks or with a specific one and if yes witch one is it ? ^^

💬 Wandour, Oct 2nd 2023 at 8:26 AM

nooo the mod suddenly started crashing when i look at a block today
I tried it in single player with no mods on

Ryuu Gamer mode need rainbow on and does a moving rainbow outline 

💬 Ryuu, Sep 22nd 2023 at 4:32 AM

What does Gamer Mode do?

💬 AzuliBluespots, Sep 21st 2023 at 1:06 PM

It's beautiful <3 I can finally see the dang outlines <3 Works even on the server too!

Thanks a LOT for fixing it!

💬 Flo_12344Author, Sep 21st 2023 at 12:56 PM

So this time it should be good xD Yanazake

💬 Flo_12344Author, Sep 21st 2023 at 11:40 AM

I'm gonna look at the client part (Gamer mode need rainbow and does a moving rainbow outline)

💬 AzuliBluespots, Sep 21st 2023 at 11:08 AM

Ok it works! But only offline. I'm gonna try adding the config and then the mod to my server.
Edit: Yeah, as of now, it doesn't seem to be only client-sided. I can't even open the config window on my server.

Btw, what does gamer mode do?

💬 Flo_12344Author, Sep 21st 2023 at 8:05 AM

Yanazake Should finaly be fixed with 1.2.5 ^^

💬 AzuliBluespots, Sep 19th 2023 at 9:58 PM

I'm trying this and while I can see the outline options window, I can't see ANY outline after installing this. Not even the vanilla one! I'm on Linux if that makes any difference.

💬 Aspendosia, Sep 19th 2023 at 7:01 AM

Flo_12344 ah, didn't know it had been updated (still getting used to modding VS and how mods don't auto update) but that's fixed it. Cool because colour choice helps a lot when you struggle with 'em. Cheers.

💬 Mendall, Sep 18th 2023 at 10:04 PM

aaaa that pic makes it a lot more understandable. If this works for the voxels during chiseling, allowing me to set a color that shows against both light and dark blocks alike, this is great

but It's for .18.10 sadly I'm still running 18.7

💬 Flo_12344Author, Sep 18th 2023 at 9:47 PM

Aspendosia This should have been fixed with 1.1.0, retried it with 1.2.0 and no issue with it, so you might need to try with the newer versions ^^ 

💬 DanaCraluminum, Sep 18th 2023 at 9:14 PM

Mendall 

"a line or set of lines enclosing or indicating the shape of an object in a sketch or diagram."

it is used for block selection, without it you can't see what block you selected

💬 Mendall, Sep 18th 2023 at 8:56 PM

I'm not getting the point of this, what is it outlining and why

💬 Aspendosia, Sep 18th 2023 at 7:46 PM

I'm finding the same as DanaCraluminum, with this mod enabled knapping and smithing are impossible, I just can't see what to hit/knap and what not to. I've tried changing the colours, alpha, width, but just can't make it work. Don't know if it's a basegame issue but for now, sadly, I have to disable so I can play.

💬 Nimlet, Sep 18th 2023 at 6:29 PM

Is there any way to change the shortcut key? as this is already affiliated with another I have. Cheers

💬 Junrall, Sep 18th 2023 at 2:14 PM

💬 DanaCraluminum, Sep 18th 2023 at 10:52 AM

Smithing, clayforming and knapping are impossible
