In 1.2.5 i made a GUI to change settings in my tileEntity. It worked 100% fine saving and recalling the data when i closed/reopened the gui and restart the game. In 1.3.1 it open just fine, i can change the settings, and they keep as long as i do not restart the game. Which i think has too do with the tileEntity not getting the varables client side. I've set up a packet system but can't really tell if its working. I'm going to keep toying with it till i get it working but just in case i don't can someone check out my code and see what is wrong.

Edit: toyed with it more found the data is making its way to the client but all messed up. However the GUI itself doesn't seem to be saving the data to the server side/keeps vars on client. Which i think i can fix with a packet to the server. Though there is now an issue with the packet data getting all messed up. instead of the 8 separate ints getting assigned to there own varables there merging together.

Code is on gitHub easier to read than to post here gitHub

Not going to dig through all of your code, so linking to specific files would help.

But I dont get the 'merging together' part, seems to me like you're fucking something up if things are getting merged together.

its not difficult to transfer something over the network and pick it up on the other side.

found the issue with the vars merging, end up too do something with writing the int to dataStream as a double. which i don't understand why it cause the variables to start to merge together but telling to write as an int fix that issue. Also by merge i meant there should be 8 vars for example 37xA 15yA 100zA  48xT 45yT 113zT 13W 10C. what i was getting was 3715100xA 0yA 1001527zA 0W 0C.

 

to fix the not saving on restart what i think i need to do is send a packet with the new info too the server. However, i don't know how to send a packet too the local server.

 

Here is the code just involving the tileEntity and gui

https://github.com/DarkGuardsman/GSM-Guardsman/blob/master/1.3.1/common/GSM/barrack/TileEntityBarrack.java

https://github.com/DarkGuardsman/GSM-Guardsman/blob/master/1.3.1/common/GSM/Network/PacketManager.java

changing line 78 on the above fixed the merge issue

Right.. thats retarded.

When you write a double to the stream

It write 8 bytes

When you read a int from the stream

you read 4 bytes

see an issue here?

at least you can be nice about my f' up, it was a copying error from a tut and i forgot to code it to write ints. anyways back to the original issue how to i get the packet to the local server. I'll try the sendPacket it just seem to be too simple seeing as i had to set up a packetManager.class just to send packets to the client.

 

Edit:

is it me or maybe sendPacket is missing/ not added. I'll  keep looking for something to send a packet too the server but tbh i'm not 100% sure what i'm looking for.

 public static void sendPacket(Packet packet) {
        // TODO
//        FMLClientHandler.instance().sendPacket(packet);
    }

Try using PacketManager.sendTileEntityPacket from UE...

 

Also, you can read doubles and then cast the read doubles into int after reading so it doesn't mess the stream data up.

i am using a recoded version of your code for my packetHandler. only issue is i can't figure out how to send the settings packet to the server to be saved. I've got sending to the player done just fine and gui gets the old settings. However if i go into the gui and change all the vars in the textboxes, it only keep the new setting as long as game stays on. Which means i need to update the server's TileEntity with the new settings.

ty without being able to update the Barrack settings the block doesn't work past looking good. Other than that my Guardsman are rendering now :), well except for weapons but that an old error that crops up every update.

 

Edit: i see the modloader.sendPacket now does something instead of being empty. Anyways is the onPackData version for the server side?

Edit2: Fixed it turns out i was not getting the right world so when the packet got there it didn't know which world to send it too.

      Get all players connected to a bungee server

      By BattleDash · Posted 41 minutes ago

      Hello all, I'm trying to make a mod that can tell you all the players on a bungee server you're connected to, I've never worked with Forge before and this API is very abstract to me compared to plugin development which is what I normally do. Does anyone know how I would go about getting a list of Player Entities of every player on the network you're connected to?

      [1.12.2] How can I close GUI in Forge?

      You cannot call Minecraft methods from a separate thread. You need to wait a tick using ClientTickEvent.

      [1.12.2] Killing fireworks in unloaded chunks

      By bismuth210 · Posted 2 hours ago

      I'm creating a custom gamemode using forge in which players get teleported around regularly. I've run into a problem when I do the following:   I spawn a firework rocket near a player I teleport the player to a different location I wait a couple of seconds (or minutes) I teleport the player back to the same location as in step 1. Doing this will show the firework spawned in step 1 in step 4, despite significant time having passed in 3. This video shows what I mean:   I suspect the reason for why this happens is because once I teleport the player somewhere else, the chunk with the firework is no longer loaded and doesn't get updated.   Is there a simple way for me to simply "get rid" of all active fireworks shortly before teleporting players so that this doesn't occur? Or do I really have to forcibly keep all chunks loaded? To be more clear: I don't want to disable fireworks all together, but I don't want remnants of old fireworks showing up when I teleport players. "Killing" all firework rockets when I teleport a player would work fine, but I don't know if/how I can do that.   I've tried using /kill @e[type=!player] But that doesn't work for firework rockets apparently.
