(zerotwo0016) Issue with citizens skins

[grave wasp]

When setting a skin of a NPC, sometimes, when the NPC gets out of render distance, etc, the skin dissapears. (It becomes either Alex, or Steve). But then it comes back after a few minutes.

[golden ferry]

this suggestion was in regards to if it were related to simulation distance

we can really only recommend you verify you're updated to the latest versions and builds, 1.8 is minimally supported and verifiably works

!1.8

[median anchor]

Info: 1.8

Minecraft 1.8 is an 8+ year old Minecraft version (released <t:1409643900:R>) that we cannot reliably support.
While Citizens and Sentinel in their latest versions will still run on it, we cannot and will not provide support on this Discord or other platforms for it.
You can and should update your server. There are plugins for clientversion support and older-style PvP available.

For more information, refer to https://wiki.citizensnpcs.co/Minecraft_1.8.

[golden ferry]

we'd recommend 1.18+ and porting support to 1.8, not the other way around / staying on 1.8

!latest

[median anchor]

Update Citizens

Latest Citizens dev builds are at https://ci.citizensnpcs.co/job/Citizens2/.
Spigot releases of Citizens are available at https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/citizens.13811/.

Update Paper

Paper is a higher-performance alternative to Spigot that is 100% compatible with the equivalent Spigot version. It's much easier to update than Spigot itself, and carries a lot of performance and quality-of-life benefits.

Latest Paper builds are at https://papermc.io/downloads/paper.

(If you would prefer to use a Spigot build, refer to !update spigot).

im using the latest citizens

Im using bedwars, and can't switch to any newer version.

[golden ferry]

can really only loop back to this answer, or suggest you use the modern bedwars version we see people here using

[grave wasp]

It's not really happening only on bedwars though

Hubs have the exact same issue

Isn't there a setting I can tweak?

[grave wasp]

Like increasing render distance?

[golden ferry]

render distance works differently now than it did back with 1.8; we have what's called Simulation Distance now, which dramatically improves the performance of the server

1.8 doesn't receive any new features, it's why Citizens works minimally on it

there could be a new plugin conflict

or our bot can look for problems:

!logs

[median anchor]

Info: logs

Please post your full latest log file.

Background Info: One of the most helpful tools to identifying the source of a problem is your server logs file! Logs contain all sorts of important information like server and plugin versions, any error messages, and a lot more important information (More Info).

How To: Your log can be found in the logs folder within your server folder. The most recent log is a text file labeled latest.log. To get help using these logs, please open that file in a text editor and copy all of the text, then open https://paste.denizenscript.com/New/Log and paste the text into the box on the page. Then click "Submit" and copy the URL and paste that back into this channel.

Please do not upload the file to Discord or to other pastebin services, use the log pastebin linked above.

You did not answer my question. My question was: does increasing render distance fix this issue. I know about simulation distance, but I really want a solution for this because I have paid for citizens, and wish it to be be free of such bug

[stark tartan]

There’s still a range in 1.8.8, which you can tweak with citizens /npc trackingrange i think

[grave wasp]

And that should fix the skin issue?

[grave wasp]

Or maybe something which

chunks: keep-loaded

?

[stark tartan]

Maybe?

Try it and see!

If somebody pulled this up for you, you're probably asking a question of the public channel that's easier and faster to figure out by just attempting your idea in-game and looking at the result of that attempt.

[grave wasp]

What does this do exactly?

Keeps chunks loaded where there are NPCs?

[stark tartan]

Yes

[grave wasp]

I will try it
