I'm afraid this mod will not work below version 0.10.0.
If you wish to use this mod, you'll have to update.

I found out strange behavior. When I place splitters from left to right (top -> down) it often don't work. But when I place in opposite direction, it's almost always working.

I like this mod it is useful,
But it breaks very frequently.
Any plans on more content or features/Updates?

OK, I'm pissed.


How did I not know this existed before?

They break very frequently. Not reliable at all unfortunately.

I was wondering if you had any plans to update/fix some bugs for this mod, ThaPear.

It's a real shame it doesn't work as reliably as it could. It's a great mod when it works =)

Sadly this mod is nearly Dead , but if there is anyone who can recreate this mod , it would be awesome

SmartSplitters , a Win Win for everyone

Please

It's almost certainly beyond my skills, but I'll see if there's some basic version fixes that I could do to fix it.

THIS WOULD BE AWESOME

If its Possible , then please do it , this mod is very cool and i would love it if its working in MP too

Good news everybody!
Updated for .11.x
Bad news everybody!
Incompatible with .11.5

Took me about an hour of troubleshooting to pinpoint the problem of moving to .11.3. (wrong format for platform_picture in entity.lua)
No idea how to fix the new problem in .11.5. (attempting to "generate chunk in unreasonable position")
It's unlikely to be MP compatible, but I don't see why it couldn't become as such with some more work.

Now to downgrade myself back to .11.3. The things I do for you guys.

Incoming compatibility patch

This is Awesome
I hope you can release this very soon , i will try it in MP

Thanks for the Great Modding

Updated release above
I don't expect it works in MP however. Sorry.
Not that it can't, but I don't have the time or will to sort that out at the moment.
However, it should be a relatively simple chore for someone that's already patched something else to be MP compatible.

Also, not modding really.
I didn't create anything. Just poked around (a lot) and fixed a couple bugs in the syntax.
I'll accept praise after you've played it.

If you place it you get a Permanent Chunk error until you break it.

Its not in MP And SP its a Chunk Erorr if u break the Filter it works again

That problem is probably because of the grab/drop positions specified in the entity.
Sorry people, I can't fix it myself as I'm really busy with college. I love that it's seen as useful enough to be updated though.

Fixed the problem and is 100% 11.5 and MP compatible.

Here ya go:

have fun.

Had a problem with the splitters dis-associating (I'm gonna call it that anyway), requiring the series to be pulled up and re-built. (Hadn't run into this specifically before, but not very surprised, as they were touchy to get going once or twice.)
Additionally, the inserter arrows always point East (not a big problem) and also block the ALT overlay, so it's hard to tell what a specific splitter is filtering (kind of big problem).
I suspect that setting a non-zero radius while keeping an essentially infinite turn speed would fix the new issues.
Not sure about fixing the lost ID problem though.

NOTE: While testing MP there was massive lag, I didn't investigate it and assume the lag was caused by me loading a sandbox game in MP. The mod itself works fine in MP.

have fun.

Its working but i can't break it or Replace it idk why but we use Smartmodpack (Link in Sinature)
I am always getting an error:
Error while running the event handler __Smartspliters__\control.lua:284: Map doesn't contain 1 player this function can't be used

The splitters losing the ID's is just because the original authors code isn't fleshed out. They will be finicky and if you edit them in any way other than changing the filters you will most likely have to re-place them all. They are a place and leave alone type of item. (and i don't have the time or will to expand on it)

The inserter arrows... in my game it does not show any inserter arrows. Could you tell me how to reproduce this?

Can't reproduce unable to break/replace. Please explain how to reproduce.

error: This could be a problem with something else in that pack, because I cannot reproduce this error. This happens when something is called from player in MP, which smartsplitters don't do.
