Issue description

I have bound it to a camera, but I can't actually use it to view the camera's feed. Also, I can only bind it to one camera at a time, despite the tooltip showing 1/30.

I know that 1.7.10 is most likely unsupported. I don't expect an update to the mod, I'd mostly just like to know if I did something wrong or maybe there's some way to fix it on my end.

Minecraft version

1.7.10

Forge version

10.13.4.1614

SecurityCraft version

1.8.13, the latest for 1.7.10.

With only SecurityCraft installed, I can use the camera monitor just fine. When I install LookingGlass, I experience the same behavior, but that's intentional as only one camera can be shown on the monitor's feed at once.

I disabled the looking glass option and it works fine, it's just with it enabled that it doesn't work. The monitor stays black and can't be used, after linking to a camera.

Yeah the looking glass config option is made to only be used when LookingGlass is installed. I think we made it so that it automatically turns it on or off based on the presence of that mod, but I could be wrong.

I do have LookingGlass, though. With that option enabled, it should be working.

Ah, sorry that wasn't clear to me. Perhaps there is some other mod which interferes with LookingGlass. I remember we used to have a few problems like these that we were never quite sure about.

That's the mod list. Unfortunately, it's difficult to remove chunks of mods to see which one is at fault, due to how everything is entwined together. A binary search would likely cause many unrelated issues and crashes.

Any performance mod, mods that change rendering, etc. could theoretically interfere with this. I see you have MystCraft installed - do the dimension previews work there? They use LookingGlass as well.

Hm. I did the same with the following file, and that one loads fine for me. (Replace the file ending .zip with .jar before using this file)
[1.7.10] SecurityCraft v1.8.13.zip

Not sure why, but that worked. Thank you!

EDIT: Mystcraft previews are still not working, so maybe something else broke those. So it seems this entire thing may have been for nothing, and the newer version of LG will work after all. But thank you.

EDIT: Actually, let me check the console when opening a Myst book, see if anything is there.

Oh yeah, definitely something is very wrong with LookingGlass. I spawned in a new linking book and opened it, and the console gave me this: https://gist.github.com/Shahelion/c060636355b155e6e6750d7c3b8b64e4

Note that I only had the book open for a few seconds.

I actually had LookingGlass for Mystcraft already, just updated it for SecurityCraft (required 0.2.0.01). I just checked, the book previews actually don't work anymore. They did with the version of LookingGlass I had previously (0.2.0.00), but that one didn't work with SecurityCraft. So, something in that update broke everything?

SecurityCraft seems to only be compatible with LookingGlass 0.2.0.01. I tried spoofing the version by editing the jar file, but that didn't work. So I think you're out of luck here, I'm afraid :/

Would it be possible to remove the dependency on LookingGlass? The LG option for SC doesn't even work for me. That way I could downgrade it to have it working with Mystcraft.

I don't have the means to create a new 1.7.10 version anymore. The only solution I have for you is to open the SecurityCraft jar file, navigating to net/geforcemods/securitycraft, and opening SecurityCraft.class with a normal text editor. Then, in the 4th or so line, you'll see after:LookingGlass@[0.2.0.01,);. Replace exactly those characters (no more no less) with exactly these (no more no less): after:LookingGlass@[0.2.0.00,); (for reference, the only difference is the 01 having been changed to 00). Then save. That'll lower the minimum version of LookingGlass that SecurityCraft needs. You then need to make sure the LookingGlass config is turned off, otherwise the game will crash when you rightclick a camera with a monitor. I'm aware this solution is not ideal if you want to distribute the modpack.

So, it looks like that just prevented SecurityCraft from loading at all. I changed the 1 to 0, and put back the older version of LookingGlass, but SecurityCraft stuff is gone from the game.

Ah, it looks like LookingGlass is incompatible with NEID. I only have NEID, SecurityCraft, and LookingGlass installed (the proper versions, unedited), and trying to get an image on a camera monitor doesn't work - I just get a black screen like you do.

Maybe I'll give the GTNH fork a try.
