ReplacedBlocks issues (subid and chunk skipping)

Hello,

I'm using ReplacedBlocks to make a wool world. However, sometimes there are chunks that are skipped, leaving the original blocks intact.

I'm wondering if this is somehow lag related. That when the server has to generate too many new chunks the replacement gets skipped somehow.
To lesser extend I also get trees that don't get all their leaves replaced with wool.

A smaller issue, it seems the replacement of the blocks happen before the notchponds are made, making it impossible to replace that water and lava.

Another thing I noticed with ReplacedBlocks, is that you can't do this 17.1=35.5. TerrainControl removes this entry, however 17=35.5 works, but changes all blocks ignoring the subid. It would be great if ReplacedBlocks stayed greedy, but we could do 17.1=35.6 before 17=35.5 and it would work too.

Regards,

I have had the same exact issue, exactly as it appears in your screen shot. I can say that the issue comes and goes, seemingly with server performance. If I tax the server by loading new terrain while mapping a large image, or while doing other intensive operations, or immediately after booting the server, it seems that this problem appears.

Perhaps you should consider testing to see if it is a server performance issue. Try allowing your server to run for 10 minutes with nobody on it, after restarting. Log on, wait 5 minutes, then explore the world at a walking pace. If the problem does not occur, this isn't necessarily a bug, but a performance issue that can be solved by pre-generating the world on a faster server.
