💬 Wandour, 7 hours ago

seems like the mod is working smoothly now!

💬 Flo_12344, 8 hours ago

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, 9 hours ago

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

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, 11 hours ago

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_12344, 21 hours ago

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

💬 Wandour, 1 day ago

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

💬 Ryuu, Sep 23rd at 2:34 AM

oh so simulated RGB, nice!

💬 Flo_12344, Sep 22nd at 6:43 PM

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

💬 Ryuu, Sep 22nd at 4:32 AM

What does Gamer Mode do?

💬 Yanazake, Sep 21st 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_12344, Sep 21st at 12:56 PM

So this time it should be good xD Yanazake

💬 Flo_12344, Sep 21st at 11:40 AM

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

💬 Yanazake, Sep 21st 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_12344, Sep 21st at 8:05 AM

Yanazake Should finaly be fixed with 1.2.5 ^^

💬 Yanazake, Sep 19th 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 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 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_12344, Sep 18th 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 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 at 8:56 PM

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

💬 Aspendosia, Sep 18th 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 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 at 2:14 PM

 An absolutely needed feature... well implemented... nicely done!

💬 Yanazake, Sep 18th at 11:59 AM

YES, THE BEST ACCESSIBILTY OPTION YET! FINALLY!

💬 Phuta, Sep 18th at 11:30 AM

Could you add some comparison images?

💬 Rythillian, Sep 18th at 10:53 AM

Pretty neat! If you haven't already I suggest checking out the bug bounty the devs have for this issue!

💬 DanaCraluminum, Sep 18th at 10:52 AM

Smithing, clayforming and knapping are impossible
