Title:

FTB Islands corrupts island list and cannot update it without affecting client​

Launcher Version:

Curse 7.1.5993.13035 Beta​

Modpack:

FTB Infinity Evolved Skyblock​

Modpack Version:

1.1.0​

Log Link:

http://thenoobbot.com/downloads/fml-server-3.log​

Details of the issue:

I had issues with FTB Islands 1.1.1 from the modpack, islands list got deleted by itself, hop'd on the irc, Cricket/IoP asked me to update FTB Islands 1.1.1 to 1.3.1 so I can re-fill Islands.json with missing islands.

But, I cannot log-in with client using the modpack.

IoP told me to say the following:

FTBIslands misses acceptableRemoteVersions annotation in 1.1.1 and older which makes impossible to update mod in server side without client side changes​

What exactly is the issue here?

 

[Vesper]

FTB Islands is a server-side mod and version earlier than 1.1.1 of FTB Islands will prevent clients using FTB Infinity Evolved Skyblock 1.1.0 to join server since it uses FTB Islands 1.1.1 that don't have acceptableRemoteVersions="*" unlike newers versions of the mod FTB Islands.


The modpack requires an update in which it will provide a version of FTB islands that ignore client-server version check (> 1.1.1 then) so you can update it as much as you want without asking your players to update their own version of it.


and... the Islands.ser file can get wiped by itself in this 1.1.1 without any human anywhere near the file but that issue should be more because of the format of the file used in 1.1.1 than anything else. Binary config file is bad.

If you have a bug/situation that ya think deserves a modpack to be updated (like this one), ya should be taking it to the modpack's subforum at http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/forum/modpack-bugs.126/

Tho I'm not sure if the IE and IE:S packs are even updated anymore
