[1.7.2] About the Netty Packet Handling

[zerozhou]

I leave the game when it's 1.6.4 for a while and come back at 1.7.2.

And the network become strange in 1.7.2.

The tutorials in the wiki confused me, that it seems ok to send the message, but I cant see how it receive the message.

Do someone have a very simple example of the new usage of the network that is easier to understand?

thx, this seems much more useful than the tutorials. btw, if there is a size limit with the messages?

Is there any thing wrong with using

MinecraftServer.getServer().getConfigurationManager().sendPacketToAllPlayers

 

or should an FML channel be used instead?

 

Or are they completely different things and I'm just thinking about it wrong.
