Gt-new-horizons-modpack: Magnum Torch not working

[DeForce]

Which modpack version are you using?

2.0.4.5, 2.0.4.6
#

If in multiplayer; On which server does this happen?

This happens ONLY in multiplayer

#

What did you try to do, and what did you expect to happen?

I place magnum torch and mobs do not spawn.

#

What happend instead? (Attach screenshots if needed)

I place magnum torch and mobs still spawn

#

What do you suggest instead/what changes do you propose?

This is happening because of AMDIForge mod that was added in 2.0.4.5 version of the modpack.
This mod "controls" spawn of the mobs and it overwrites the magnum torch effect.
https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/AMDIForge/blob/master/src/main/java/eu/usrv/amdiforge/events/LivingCheckSpawnEventHandler.java#L142

What I suggest? Either fix the mod or do not include that in server installations that is not for Delta or Epsilon.

The magnum torch has been broken a long time
Dupe of #1101 ?

Or was the torch actually fixed and is now broken again?

Just confirmed on DigtoBuild.com that removing the AMDIForge mod, the Repulsors and Magna Torches work again.
This is the only change we made between "report of issue" and "resolution of issue" on our server.

@Namikon any idea ?

[DeForce]

@Dream-Master I have created the pull request that fixes this issue, just merge it and it will start working...

late to game, but forge server, no plugins, can confirm chandeliers definately don't seem to be working, using 4.6 but they definately did work in 2.7 which is what we upgraded from.

[DoomSquirter]

also, what is the AMDIForge mod for? It's purpose in the pack?

[DeForce]

3205 I did question it myself, you can check it there.

[DoomSquirter]

yeah we removed mod and things went back to normal
I guess the mod is used specifically by delta/epsilon servers to give a web based grave recovery/finding service tho how that stops magnum torches/chandeliers from working is beyond me lol

assuming at this point that individual servers don't even need to have this mod at all.

@Dream-Master If this the case why this being added still?

[Dream-Master]

AMDI Forge can control the mob spawn so far i understand it. If you dont want it not add it. Its a server mod. @KaneHart

I still don't see why this mod that exists specifically for the official servers, is bundled with everyone's package.. it's server side only and it breaks shit, definitely no use for the other 99% of servers.
