[issue] cannot delete invalid destinations from dialer list
mikeloeven opened this issue · 14 comments
A receiver was deleted during a scheduled reset of the servers mining dimension. currently i am unable to delete invalid destinations from the dialer and as this has happened multiple times there are several identical but invalid destinations listed in the dialer. there needs to be a method of deleting missing destinations from the dialer list
perhaps this should be accomplished by analyzer providing a dialogue to remove the destination if it cannot find the reciever
the dimensions where this occurs are the nether and the deep dark these are not dimensions managed by RF tools. but again the ability to delete invalid destinations is something that needs to be added
/rfttp is a admin command there needs to be a button or dialogue on the dialer for normal un oped players
Well for un oped players the way to do is is to manually remove the receiver. There is no need for a command to do this.
Well if the receiver is destroyed in game (by breaking or explosion) it should normally be removed from the list. If the receiver is destroyed out of game by removing a dimension (dimension reset or something) then it is up to the person who does that (presumably an admin) to run the needed cleanup commands.
RFTools dimensions should preferably be deleted with /rftdim safedel and after that removing the dimension folder. Otherwise RFTools can get confused. But you can use /rfttp cleanup to clean up all invalid matter receivers from the dialer list to fix this issue now.
why not solve the issue completely by scanning for missing receivers each restart ?
Well the cleanup command has to load all dimensions that have (or had) a receiver in them so that could add a bit to startup time. Also if a dimension was corrupt but only triggered a crash on visiting/loading it then it would now crash all the time.
so coming full circle it should be fairly simply to add a dialogue when checking with a destination analyzer to delete invalid destinations after the check button has been pressed
In theory yes but I still feel this is not the responsibility of the player. It is the admin that should worry about this
As a frequent Admin, I have a LOT of stupid players who can't be bothered
to tell me when they're doing things like crash the server, let alone
spamming bad dimensions.
This feature would be really nice.

But its the player who ultimately has to deal with many bad destinations on their dialing device
