  1. I've been sewing a lot of effort into being clear, but I don't seem to be reaping that harvest. It's difficult for me to understand how you (or him, or anyone) could think I was replying to an old topic because I was having the same problem... I did not reply because I was having the same problem. I am not having the same problem. At the time of my initial post I was not having the same problem. At the time of my initial post, my problems were all in the past. What I had was a solution, not a problem, so I can't have been replying... "to old topics because 'you are having the same problem'." It's just not possible. Well, I don't think I can be any clearer, so maybe it's time we moved on to greener pastures. Your experiences and mine must differ widely. My thoughts on necro dogma, if anyone cares... Thank you so much for that. Never think your kindness isn't appreciated. Even if we're generally the least able to thank you. When I have more knowledgeable answers to contribute, maybe those will therefore be less controversial answers. Maybe I'll see you then. Take care. -ziz
  2. Draco18s, I'm not a mind-reader. "If you HAVE a problem, start a new thread" isn't what he said. I can figure now that could very well be what he meant, but I wouldn't have known that at the time, because as I'll try to explain later, I had the wrong idea about this whole forum. What he actually said was... It's a simple, straightforward command. So I did. Is that autistic? Yeah, maybe so. But I'd be in good company. And it's probably part of what makes me good at programming. (heh, not in Java yet obviously) Well said, jabelar. (about that it's probably more helpful to tell people "go away, that's a basic Java issue". Well, maybe you wouldn't say it exactly like that, but yeah.) That helps bring into focus for me the part I played in what went wrong here. Thank you. No one told the user ravingmadlunatic that though (and he's not nearly the least knowledgeable who wasn't told that, so I imagine that's why he thought he could ask) and that's a big part of the reason why I thought his question was worthy of an answer. That mistaken sense of worthiness in its turn was a big part of why I evaluated it as acceptable to comment on an old thread (for people in the same boat). Yeah, on the contrary, a forum team member and senior users were being very nice and helpful to that user despite him clearly not meeting the stated criteria of basic Java knowledge (such as how imports work). Maybe those criteria weren't apparent at the time? I don't know. But the take-home message for me was, being nice to people of any skill level and helping them was the cultural norm here, and I should interpret the written rules in that light. I don't mean to say that misconception is entirely your faults, any or all of you -- after all, that's my basic assumption in general in life so I'm prone to jumping to that conclusion. Collectively, you've all surely done more than enough to correct those perceptions for me, so rest assured. Well, I'm glad to have gotten to the bottom of it. Looks like ravingmadlunatic finally got the message too. I'll take that "go away" as marching orders myself now, since obviously I don't have enough basic Java knowledge either. Maybe he'll be back when he does. Maybe I will will too. Talk with you all then. Even though it maybe didn't work out very well for anybody, nonetheless I appreciate you trying. Keep at it. Peace. -ziz
  3. I agree, Draco18s. "HEY GUYS, IMPORTS ARE A THING!" could be helpful as a comment on a specific topic, but as it's own topic, it's lame. Better suited to a comment or a tutorial. But a Forum Team member asked me to make it into a new topic, so there it is.
  4. I think the spirit of that quote means "You are expected to have basic knowledge of Java before posting here to ask for help" Do you really think it also means "You are expected to have basic knowledge of Java before posting here to help someone"? If so, sorry to bother you (both), but man, you've got an epidemic of people like me. -ziz
  5. Have you noticed that your forum is mostly populated by people who lack sufficient Java knowledge to make a mod? Peace. -ziz p.s. Draco18s's post below makes it clear not to post without sufficient Java knowledge. Never mind then. Carry on.
  6. Good evening. Hopefully it's alright to paste a link to the original topic, since it has the painstaking identification of the context of the problem I'm addressing, which I can't really reproduce. Oh, okay, there's that question, so... I didn't think it was "enough" to warrant a whole new topic... and the thread is old but the problem isn't... and the previous answers never did fully solve the problem... and it seems redundant to reiterate an existing conversation and problem... and all the future searchers who will be looking there but not here will be left hanging after getting their hopes up because they finally found something that they're reasonably sure matches the problem they're having then our ears will start ringing because they'll be cursing our names for not having the courage to just answer the dang question, for fear of getting a slap on the wrist by petty authority. Yeah, that was me, cursing your names. Sorry. So I solved it on my own and brought the solution back to share, posting it right where the pain point was when I was in those shoes. That's why. Anyway, here it is... Someone asked about Eclipse not understanding @SidedProxy annotation while modding for Minecraft 1.7.10, and I was recently using 1.8.x and 1.12.2 (which is the most recent at time of posting) and I observed the same trouble. Error message I observed was "SidedProxy cannot be resolved to a type". Eventually I fixed it by adding this line to my Main: import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.SidedProxy; This is in the file "Main.java" or whatever you called your mod's main class. That's the file people sometimes refer to as containing "@Mod". Can you tell? This is going to seem sooo easy later on once we've got proxies running smoothly. I got the mod built and operating as expected on my Forge server, even if mostly vacuously, so I'm somewhat confident this is an acceptable solution. HTH. -ziz
  7. No better way to learn the IDE than working a project, IMO. I see this conversation is from years ago, but I was just now having the same problem starting out modding for Minecraft 1.12.2, including the problem the OP mentioned wherein "eclipse does not seem to understand the @SidedProxy annotation" so I'm posting for everyone reading this who's still running into this problem. The error I was getting was "SidedProxy cannot be resolved to a type". Not sure if this is the right solution, but I added this to my Main and it removed the error message: import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.SidedProxy; HTH. -ziz
