Chisel Roof Blocks.

 

Notes:

  • The chisel geometry is calculated automatically from the shape - which means its not always perfect. I am not going to hunt down each small discrepancy.
  • A lot of shapes needed some faces enabled because they are normally not visible. I used a script to find and patch this - there may be small issues I also don't plan to hunt down unless its a proper bad one.

Are there any known issues? known incompatibilities?
On server 1.22.7 it created an error log that has over 22k lines - i didn't look at it yet, so can't say what is that all about - but in the meantime, are there maybe some known issues that aren't mentioned?

Assuming its the same line over and over? can you paste it here. There shouldn't be any problems BUT i have done only limited testing (i.e. single player worlds).

No, not the same line. 457 distinct errors, each followedd by a JSON related to what it is trying to patch (that is what makes the log 5MB in size - can't even post the whole thing at pastebin).
For example:

6.9.2026 19:14:03 [Error] Patch 6 (target: game:shapes/block/roofing/cornerinner/bamboo-snow.json) in chiselroof:patches/roofshapes.json failed because supplied path /elements/0/children/2/faces is invalid: The json path /elements/0/children/2/faces was not found. Could traverse until /elements/0/children, but then '2' does not exist. Full json at this path: [
  {
    "name": "lower5",
    "from": [
      0.0,
      0.0,
      0.0
    ],
    "to": [

...and it goes on

I checked a few of the json paths it keeps complaining about, and all do exist in vanilla game.
Then i looked for any mods that would be patching those files, and i found Conquest VS Edition which is replacing those shape files.
So, never mind, it is a mod compatibility issue.

Surprised that this isn't in the base game! Very nice. Do you know if it works with QP chisel tools? I'd also ask if it works with VS roofing, but I think that acts entirely differently from basegame blocks, yeah?

This one is intended to be used separately from VS Roofing for people that just want the very basics. VS Roofing does already let you chisel the base block (after adding it).

QP Chisels should have basic support).
