More Vanilla Fences

Cheers! And nope, that was the only one!

@BadOaks I'm back in town and was able to confirm exactly what you said. I wonder if that tag was added in 1.5? As far as I can recall in previous versions you could build roofs on top of those two fences without it. Regardless, I've gone ahead and updated it. Hopefully you didn't have too many other customizations or fixes in your own, because it may be overwritten when the mod updates.

Thanks for the report!

Huh, interesting. Thanks @BadOaks. I'm on a business trip for a few more weeks so I'm not sure if I'll be able to update it right away. Fortunately it's a small graphical thing, I'll make a note and get to this as soon as I can. I may be able to work something out even while I'm away.

Found a graphical bug that's new in 1.5 - Two fence types, the tall brick and closeboard fences, have weather effects like rain show over them even when under a roof.

Adding the line '<holdsRoof>true</holdsRoof>' to anything with a fill percent equal to 1 seems to fix it. Maybe that's a flag that got added in 1.5?

After this I noticed that the closeboard and stone gates have 'fillPercent = 1' and also experience the bug, and since vanilla doors have 'holdsRoof = true' the same fix would seem to apply to gates.

I was hoping for chocolate fences

Hmm... I remember the steel bar fences making rooms. (I could be entirely remembering a different mod.)

Hmm... never tried that.

After some testing just now though, none of the fences or gates block temperature or light. You can place a torch on the side of one and it'll light up on the other side. Fences don't even create rooms, either on their own or with other walls, artificial or natural.

The only exception is tall brick fences which are just de-facto walls. If you were trying to use those, then yes they won't allow the passage of temperature, light, or weather events... that's because they're solid walls made of bricks high enough to support roofs.

It seems that if you use a fence that obvious *should* allow temperature exchange, it actually doesn't. I tried using it for prison rooms at one point and (iirc) neither light nor temperature would pass through the fence. (maybe light did.... don't remember. But temperature definitely didn't.)

Was just wondering if that was still the case. And if so, can it be implemented/fixed? Regardless, thanks for the mod work.

@The Bard of Hearts, just got back from a business trip. Don't think anyone ever mentioned a temperature exchange issue to me? I use it myself extensively and I haven't seen anything like that, though I don't ever really roof the fences in.

did the temperature exchange problem ever get fixed with this mod?
