RE: I do not understand that post, I really just do not get what he is saying to do.

And it might help, ill keep you posted.

For the last time dude, I know the basics.

then i suggest learning "advanced" java... or rethinking your definition of "basic". i remember your old thread and all you needed to know was already posted in it multiple times. people even posted code for you. the only thing stopping you from making your stuff work was.. well, not having a firm grasp of basic java.. Enough of this. If anyone can help me then reply, if not then do not even bother. I'm not trying to be rude but this is ridiculous.

I understand this but it still doesn't change the fact that it does not work.

Dude I know basic java, Im here for help on something that has nothing to do with learning basic java.

Still wont work...

Nope, did not fix it.

Because the code I need cannot be used. Let me explain.. try{ compound = whatever; }catch{ //Exception Here } I cannot use compound anywhere else except for the try/catch statement. Initiliaze the variable outside of the try catch like this NBT compound = null; try{ compound = CompressedStreamTools.read(stream); }catch(Exception e){//handle} now you can access the compound variable anywhere. compound.whatEverTheHellYouNeed(); ******* If it helps toss me a thank you. Umm dude, it doesn't work...

Yes! Thank you! I can now access it from outside of the try/catch.

*Cough* I have to call it outside of the try/catch. I can use it inside but it will not work for what I need.

...Handle the IOException. [spoiler=Hint] try/catch The code still does not work, it is not able to be used outside of the try/catch method.

Default constructor cannot handle exception type IOException thrown by implicit super constructor. Must define an explicit constructor on NBTTagCompound compound = CompressedStreamTools.read(stream); Does the same on every class.

Yes, but how would I get the server to save it?

I am sorry but I do not see how that would work seeing that I need the server to be able to read and write to the same file. You only need to read at one point: When the server starts You only need to write at one point: When the server stops (There's one additional write operation: if the file to read doesn't exist, initialize it). There's no reason to be reading and writing to the same file at the same time (although you can). That said: Take a look at this post. It will allow you to create and read an arbitrary NBT data file. Well the thing is that it will be constantly be edited.

I could try but I have never gotten that to work quiet right.

I am sorry but I do not see how that would work seeing that I need the server to be able to read and write to the same file.

I mean like an nbt save or something so that it will always be there even if you close the game.

I am going to try this again(even though last time it just ended up in a fit of frustration) to get something to save server-side. I have tried many many times to get this to work but no matter how hard I try I cannot get it to work properly. But as the title says, is all I need is to save an integer to the server(and for the client to get). I am going to say however that if you had helped me before on this and I was being mean to you I want to say sorry. Like I said I was just very frustrated that I could not get it to work and I am sorry for that. But other than that please feel free to post your solution!

It doesn't matter how you do it because I know for a fact my way works. It may just take a little tweaking but it is working fine for me.

Ok look here buddy. I'm going to rock your world just use this. The code is a bit outdated but it should work mostly. Hope it works!

Animated Png? Or you could look at the mc renderer.

Just overall lol they keep changing stuff.
