BetterStability

dcode updated BetterStability with a new update entry:

0.6.0

 

There is a small but when players can't target pillars to upgrade them and this cause huge problems with base raiding.
So i made a small fix to that:

Code:

[HookMethod("OnBuildingBlockUpgrade")]
        private void OnBuildingBlockUpgrade(BuildingBlock block, BasePlayer player, BuildingGrade.Enum grade)
        {
            List<BuildingBlock> supports;
            List<BuildingBlock> supported;
            BuildingBlockHelpers.GetAdjacentBlocks(block, out supports, out supported);         
            if (supports.Count == 0)
                return;
            foreach(var item in supports)
            {
                if (item.blockDefinition.fullName == "build/pillar")
                {
                    if (item.grade < grade)             
                        SetGrade(item, grade);                 
                }
            } 
        }
     
        /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
        ///  SetGrade(BuildingBlock block, BuildingGrade.Enum level)
        ///  Change grade level of a block
        /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
        private static void SetGrade(BuildingBlock block, BuildingGrade.Enum level)
        {
            block.SetGrade(level);
            block.health = block.MaxHealth();
            block.SendNetworkUpdate(BasePlayer.NetworkQueue.Update);
        }

and insert this:

Code:

foreach(var item in supports)
            {
                if (item.blockDefinition.fullName == "build/pillar")
                {
                    if (item.grade < block.grade)             
                        SetGrade(item, block.grade);                 
                }
            }    

into "UpdateStability" method after "BuildingBlockHelpers.GetAdjacentBlocks(block, out supports, out supported)" row

 

dcode updated BetterStability with a new update entry:

0.7.0

[DOUBLEPOST=1427675597][/DOUBLEPOST]From the updated overview page:

To make pillars upgradeable under all circumstances, BetterStability re-positions walls slightly to keep pillars always accessible from the backside:

dcode updated BetterStability with a new update entry:

0.7.1

[DOUBLEPOST=1427676558][/DOUBLEPOST]Looks like this isn't working perfectly at the edges of buildings, though, i.e. if the wall prefab includes a crazy pillar on its own

 

How about to use my idea with auto upgrade but optionally take cost of pillars upgrade? It can easily be done, i can show you the way if you want.

 

I considered that, too, but I feel like this does not get down to the root. So I am trying something more pragmatic

 

Question: Does this fix the glitch where you can do this?

That should only be possible with stability disabled so either turning on stability or this plugin which introduces it's own stability system will stop this yes.

 

Yes it does. but there is huge bug with pillars instead. To fix this, make pillars auto-upgradable with walls as i posted before.

 

for some reason people cant build stairs on blocks at all. i just refunds them. i have tested it myself. i placed a foundation. placed pillars placed walls, then placed a block on said foundation and then stairs on said block...it wont place says its not stable. it works if u do a half high floor only.


also when u delete a foundation below a floor everything above that floor stays floating

 

Which version are you using?

 

Not possible with that plugin.

 

the current version on this page

 

Have you tried deleting config/BetterStability.json already? Pretty much every update required this till today.

oxide.unload BetterStability
# delete the file
oxide.load BetterStability
[DOUBLEPOST=1428008287][/DOUBLEPOST]Just built that on my server running the plugin, to be sure. This is apparently working, so there must be something else going on with your setup.

 

will try
[DOUBLEPOST=1428009750][/DOUBLEPOST]actually i removed all files related to the plugin and the issue stays. ever after 2 restarts

p.s. this is the only new plugin as well so i know its not anything else
[DOUBLEPOST=1428010817][/DOUBLEPOST]ahahha found it! it was a config left from a build blocking plugin! all is good with ur plugin now! its working great!
