I recently stumbled into a ts**** server.   Anyway, what I found was interesting. Upon joining, as with Restrict, I was not able to build or anything until logging in. But instead of the plugin detecting block changes then changing the blocks back quickly after the change was made, it simply just put the "cursed" buff on me which prevented me from doing anything client side. I was unable to try opening a chest though as I was teleported back to spawn as soon as I walked far enough away. Not sure what that was, but I don't see why you can't just lock the player in a room which they cannot open the door to. Also registering didn't remove the buff.

What i noticed about the buff though is that it was being reset to 2 seconds left every one second. That could potentially create extra load on the cpu and extra bandwidth on the network. But this idea isn't bad though as it could save performance of the server (set the buff time to the highest the data value will allow and only reset it at 1) and completely prevent edits client side. Though I don't believe the cursed buff blocks chest opening, but I'm not certain on that.

Maybe this would be good for a future version of a plugin that blocks edits...

When starting a newly created world for the first time when the configuration file has stop-npc-spawning=False, NPCs don't spawn of course, but they don't show up after npcspawns is back on.

This could be accidentally done and would require spawning an old man in the wrong place (he wouldn't have a home spawn near the dungeon), and the guide won't be available unless spawned also.

This isn't really a bug but I think it could be prevented with a small warning on the console before creating a new world if stop-npc-spawning=False is detected. But probably there's some easier/better way to avoid this.

Maybe nothing. So I'm not putting on the bug tracker. But I was on the showcase server today and I noticed that using a tool by holding shift and clicking the tile is difficult since it seems to keep changing to a torch if you have one, or it just stops using that tool. This makes it difficult to mine.

I tried on my own server and another remote server, both with the latest pre-release, and didn't see this.

What normally should happen is even after letting go of Shift and moving the cursor over an air tile, the tool should continue working until click is released.

So I  have recently built a new server machine with a dual-core cpu. Previously I was running TDSM on a singe core cpu. I have noticed it only uses one core... So I'm guessing it doesn't support multi-core cpus then. Am I right?

I suppose it's not really needed since the server never uses 100% of any of the cpus I have ran it on before during normal operation, except on saving... If you have a weak cpu, it could easily use 100% cpu during a save operation. I have watched cpu usage also while running the map plugin and issuing the command to tell it to start saving an image, it went to 100% and stayed that way until it was done. Of course even though is does that, it doesn't hurt performance of the server in any noticeable way for the players, but I have seen it while saving the world increase the "Last world update took" time by 5 or 6 times. So with that, I think TDSM could benefit by using all available cores.

Has this ever been considered and would it be worth the effort? Just a thought. I'm pretty sure it might require re-writing all of the source or something similarly annoying. 

I received a PM from a member who said they didn't know how to post about a bug and instead decided to tell a moderator and since I was on, it was me.  I explained to them how to report it, but it's been a few days and they haven't. So I will go ahead and post about it.

I have confirmed this bug. When a torch is removed from a surface, the light remains.

The whole forum looks different now, some things are missing, like avatars, and at the top is says "SMF - Just Installed!". Is it just me? I tried with multiple browsers.
 
 EDIT: Even the wiki, and http://update.tdcm.tdsm.org are down.  TDSM.org is also being really slow. I suppose it's the release of TRPG heh... Also, just so it's known, TDCM apparently requires a connection to http://update.tdcm.tdsm.org in order to run. I think that should be optional.
