[1.12.2] Problem with Biomes O' Plenty

[LiskoSlayer63]

I'm using Biomes O' Plenty and noticed that sometimes the blocks render like they should, but about 80% of time they are rendered black. Why is that happening?

Console outputs the following and I think it might be related:
[Server thread/FATAL] [Dynmap]: [Dynmap] Block biomesoplenty:grass:3 - not enough textures for faces (10 > 6)

DynmapBlockScan version: 3.0-alpha-1-1
Dynmap version: 3.0-alpha-1-3
Biomes O' Plenty version: 7.0.1
Forge version: 14.23.1.2561
SpongeForge version: 2555-7.0.0-BETA-2764
Minecraft version: 1.12.2

I believe this issue may be the same as this one.

Try the latest HEAD scan and map - works wonders on the majority of blocks

[LiskoSlayer63]

@generrosity Still happening, using the 3.x HEAD version of Dynmap and not the 3.0 alpha.

[generrosity]

Sorry, just confirming your using the head blockscan? You might want to delete/ rename the dynmap directory too, certainly rerender

[LiskoSlayer63]

I downloaded it here, but just realized that there's not updated version for 1.12.2. Where I can find the blockscan head?

Also I have been wondering that when I download the dynmap should I choose the 3.0-alpha or the HEAD-3.x and whats the difference between these two? I download them from here.

[generrosity]

Yea its the right places. HEAD is usually newer but looks like he's promoted it to Alpha :)

Sorry - no idea on 1.12 then - just providing the usual tips that sometimes people miss. I'm sure my 1.12 ATM3 was rendering BoP but I de'commed that now.

[LiskoSlayer63]

It renders it mostly fine, but it feels like that one block has it own will. Sometimes it renders, sometimes not. Everytime it says that same thing, [Server thread/FATAL] [Dynmap]: [Dynmap] Block biomesoplenty:grass:3 - not enough textures for faces (10 > 6), though.

[generrosity]

like ... randomly? Like if you do radius render its random? Or between reboots?

Or do you mean some specific dirt and tree blocks of the Biomes o Plenty get rendered? Digging for info 😜

[LiskoSlayer63]

Yeah, randomly, between reboots. It happens only for this one dirt/grass block, every other block is rendered fine. You can see the map here.

[generrosity]

Weird! Definitely looks like random chunks haven't rendered right. I imagine you havent done a fullrender for a while either.

Previously what I did was disable the blockscan once the files generated. Then made a backup of the renderdata/modsupport folder! AFAIK you only need the blockscan to work once. Then you can just fullrender the map and it should always work

[LiskoSlayer63]

I made that once, if I remove the BlockScan all modded blocks are rendered as black when dynmap updates a tile. You are right that I haven't done fullrender for a while, I don't want to do that because it might render all of those dirt blocks black instead of a few chunks which have been updated by player activity.

[generrosity]

weeeeeeird - removing blockscan should keep the files in that dynmap\renderdata folder... as you should be able to blockscan on a desktop and copy to a server with just dynmap if you wanted to.

I end up using /dynmap reload a lot just to reload all the textures, map definitions, and custom lighting Im testing. Id certainly confirm you have the renderdata files (and backed up), try it without blockscan (maybe on a test instance or client?), and confirm with quick little /dynmap radiusrender 10 commands.

[LiskoSlayer63]

Renderdata folder is empty, it has always been empty.

I tried the radiusrender without dynmap, here's the result:

So like I said, if I remove it every modded block disappears (You can see the snow blocks disappear)
