I loved autogate and haven't played in awhile, unfortunately while playing I started getting crazy lag and on my Smapi dash it was the same exact error/bug found on nexus mods https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/820?tab=description So I was wondering if anyone could update it or point me to an updated file/temp fix. Aside from that, Thanks for reading my request!
Far as I'm aware the one I did way back does basically the same thing and probably still works. https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/smapi-0-40-chest-pooling-gateopener-toolcharging.111988/
The current version of AutoGate *is* the updated one, if you are experiencing issues then reinstall to ensure you are truly using the latest, and if still experiencing issues create a bug report to the author.
I'm the original Author. I've made the mod open source, and PathosChild has put the link up. For all you coders out there, all I remember is that every time you enter a room, it goes through every tile and checks if the tile is a gate, adds that to a local array, and uses that adjacency check every time the player moves to open/close gates. It's grossly inefficient, so there's likely a better solution.
Dearest Original Author, do you have an older version of autogate available for download? I'm still on 1.2 (gonna stay that way until 1.3 is out of beta) and would love to use your mod.
