Solved Redpower 2 crashing server, specifically the manager.

[MrEaux]

Was trying to replace a wooden chest with an iron chest that was connected to a manager with items actively being transferred through the tube network and this happened:

Server then crashes. It can be restarted and load in but once we do the server crashes again. Is there a way to remove the offending block or do we have to do a rollback?

 

[glasspelican]

if you have a way to do a role back you might want to consider that because the alternative is using mcedit to remove the machine. Mcedit is not ment to work with mods so it will remove all mod blocks in any edited chunk.

 

[deathbyc4]

a restore of the world or using mcedit will fix it. and stay away from forestry saplings in the RP tubes as well.

 

[MrEaux]

Fixed it without reverting!

Downloaded an NBT editor and removed the bog earth and humus that was jammed inside. Reuploaded the new file and it's working like a charm. Word of warning! Don't break chests attached to RP Managers with an active network!

Can you elaborate on how you removed the offending entities? I am looking at the crash log and searching for the location it's referring to, and I'm not finding anything that resembles the blocks it's mentioning at the location...

Details:
Name: RPTube // com.eloraam.redpower.machine.TileTube
Block type: ID #0
Block data value: Unknown? (Got -1)
Block location: World: (222,59,252), Chunk: (at 14,3,12 in 13,15; contains blocks 208,0,240 to 223,255,255), Region: (0,0; contains chunks 0,0 to 31,31, blocks 0,0,0 to 511,255,511)

Nevermind. Found it in r.0.0.mca
