Floating Chest Graphics

[BorisMulder]

@pyure opened this issue in GTCE:

GregTechCE/GregTech#923

This issue still persists in infitech 1.12.
Archengius mentions that it is "Fixed by other mod dev" but idk what mod he thinks causes this.
If it is another mod, can you update it?

If it isn't it would be nice if there was a way to fix it... it's really annoying to have GT chests turn invisible all the time since I need them, especially with Robot Arms to automate my packager and to combine with Filters (item or oredict). Also GT chest + conveyor is more compact then normal chest + hopper so I prefer to use that

I've been looking around and I can't find more information. I asked Archengius himself who says he doesn't remember either.
Since I haven't actually reproduced this error in a while unfortunately its hard for me to investigate further.
If its extremely annoying, you can try backing up your world and then removing mods until the problem goes away. Then you'd know which one was the culprit and could test if updating that mod fixes it.

@BorisMulder Irongron thinks it may be Large Fluid Tanks causing you grief. Can you try updating that mod?

[BorisMulder]

You mean Fancy Fluid Storage or Fluid Tanks? or Railcraft?

[pyure]

I assume he literally means Large Fluid Tanks.

(It shows up as "Fluid Tanks" in game weirdly iirc.)

If there is any fluid in the tank it will cause any gtce chests in view to glitch out and float. If the tank goes empty, it will still glitch, but a client restart will resolve the issue until the tank is filled again.

ah that's why I couldnt find it

Anyway, I updated the mod, but I still have the issue. When I disabled the mod, also nothing happens. My chest models are still displaced unless I look to a certain direction.

[pyure]

At this point unfortunately I think your only recourse is to eliminate mods. Or wait until I see the issue myself in my play-test world.

[BorisMulder]

I eliminated mods and found out that the problem is Fancy Fluid Storage.
Disabling the mod fixes it, but even removing all fancy fluid tanks from your world seems to solve it.
I also see that FFS has not been updated since June so idk if the author has quit modding or not. If they have, maybe we should remove this mod from the pack.

[pyure]

Damn, it was a fluid storage mod all along.

[BorisMulder]

Not a surprise since a side effect was also that gtce tanks would sometimes display as empty. Removing ffs seems to fix that as well. Still, the gas display is a bit strange in gt tanks, but that seems to be another issue.
