Saving data w/ items [Solved]

can i see that ? (the code)

 

also dont be afraid to debug a lot, println a lot maybe you cna stpo something weird

Wait I thought you meant in game, like "You actually put something in the bag didnt you?" anyway heres the code:

@Override
public void openChest()
{
	if(bagpack.hasTagCompound())
	{
		readFromNBT(bagpack.getTagCompound());//Bag pack has some info for the inventory
		System.out.println("call3");
	}
	else
	{
		bagpack.stackTagCompound = new NBTTagCompound();
		System.out.println("call2");

	}
}

@Override
public void closeChest()
{
	if(! bagpack.hasTagCompound())
	{
		//Should never be reached, since done when opening the first time
		bagpack.setTagCompound(writeToNBT(new NBTTagCompound()));
		System.out.println("call");
	}
	else
	{//We made changes to the inventory, save them
		System.out.println("call4");
		writeToNBT(bagpack.getTagCompound());
	}

[hydroflame]

well ok so at some point you will set a new nbt to yout bagpack

...

but nothign is ever set inside that :\

so what you have to do is something like this:

ItemStack toStore
ItemStack bagpack;
toStore.writeToNBT(bagpack.getTagCompound());

that will take the first itemStack and write it inside the tagCompound of the bagpack.

 

to read it from the nbt:

ItemStack s;
s.readFromNBT(bagpack.getTagCompound());

 

if you are dealing with a IInventory:

 

 

utility method that go in your IInventory:

public NBTTagList writeToNBT(NBTTagList par1NBTTagList)
    {
        int i;
        NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound;

        for (i = 0; i < this.equip.length; ++i)
        {
            if (this.equip[i] != null)
            {
                nbttagcompound = new NBTTagCompound();
                nbttagcompound.setByte("Slot", (byte)(i));
                this.equip[i].writeToNBT(nbttagcompound);
                par1NBTTagList.appendTag(nbttagcompound);
            }
        }

        return par1NBTTagList;
    }

    /**
     * Reads from the given tag list and fills the slots in the inventory with the correct items.
     */
    public void readFromNBT(NBTTagList par1NBTTagList)
    {
        this.equip = new ItemStack[getSizeInventory()];

        for (int i = 0; i < par1NBTTagList.tagCount(); ++i)
        {
            NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound = (NBTTagCompound)par1NBTTagList.tagAt(i);
            int j = nbttagcompound.getByte("Slot") & 255;
            ItemStack itemstack = ItemStack.loadItemStackFromNBT(nbttagcompound);

            if (itemstack != null)
            {
                if (j >= 0 && j < this.equip.length)
                {
                    this.equip[j] = itemstack;
                }
            }
        }
    }

 

 

now if you have a whole inventory:

ItemStack bagpack;
MyInventory inv;
NBTTagList theInventory = new NBTTagList();
inv.writeToNbt(theInventory);
bagpack.getTagCompound().setTag("theBagpackInventory", theInventory);

 

and to read:

ItemStack bagpack;
MyInventory inv;
NBTTagList theInventory = (NBTTagList)bagpack.getTagCompound.getTag("theBagpackInventory");
inv.readFromNbt(theInventory);
//here inv contain the original inventory 

 

 

[Lua]

So where exactly would I put that and stuff, so Is my code no good or?

[hydroflame]

well you have to place it where it makes sens, obviously this probably wont go inside a new mob you create.

 

whats the goal of the bagpack, to store 1 item ? 20 item ? 500 items? i imagine you want the content to be updated in the bagpack when you close the gui, the Container class has a onContainerClosed method, might be a good idea to save there, maybe you should be loading when the container opens ?

[Lua]

Stores 27 items. " the Container class has a onContainerClosed method, might be a good idea to save there, maybe you should be loading when the container opens ?" Thats what Im currently doing. I meant which bits should I replace w/ your code

[hydroflame]

well i guess you could place that inside closechest suince your onContainerClosed calls this anyway, but basicly anywhere where it should make sens to do it. as long as it works

[GotoLink]

You are not using the code i gave you  :'(

You can add println for sure, but at least try it...

 

Anyway, hydroflame suggestion to rework a bit the readFromNBT/ writeToNBT part, I guess is a valid point.

[Lua]

i have no idea

[hydroflame]

i have no idea

do you understand what the code me n gotolink are talking about ?

do you understand what it does ?

if not which part are you still confused with ?

how are your java skills? beginner intermediate advance ?

because maybe its just a question of practice to know what to place where

 

did you try anything ? println to see what placing the code at certain place does ?

[Lua]

"do you understand what the code me n gotolink are talking about ?

Not enough to be able to implement it correctly

"how are your java skills? beginner intermediate advance ?" Im pretty familiar w/ all the common stuff, so sorta of intermediate/high beginner

 

"if not which part are you still confused with ?" Just where to put it really aha

[hydroflame]

put it in closeChest -> see what it does -> debug

[Lua]

Yes but which part specifically?

[hydroflame]

well onChestClose would be the whole "save" part

[Lua]

You gave me a ton of code but I dont know what you want me to put in closeChest out of that section

[hydroflame]

well ok so at some point you will set a new nbt to yout bagpack

...

but nothign is ever set inside that :\

so what you have to do is something like this:

Code: [select]

 

ItemStack toStore

ItemStack bagpack;

toStore.writeToNBT(bagpack.getTagCompound());

 

that will take the first itemStack and write it inside the tagCompound of the bagpack.

[Lua]

I already am if it dosent have a tagCompound though?

	if(! bagpack.hasTagCompound())
	{
		bagpack.setTagCompound(writeToNBT(new NBTTagCompound()));
		System.out.println("call");
	}
	else
	{
		System.out.println("call4");
		writeToNBT(bagpack.getTagCompound());
	}

[hydroflame]

if(!bagpack.hasTagCompound()){
    bagpack.stackTagCompoud = new NBtTagCompound();
}
toStore.writeToNBT(bagpack.getTagCompound());

the first if create the compound if needed, then you can write for sure as you KNOW theres one

[Lua]

Caused an npe

[hydroflame]

to what ?

[Lua]

toStore.writeToNBT(bagpack.getTagCompound());

This line probably cause it didnt have anything to write but I cant write cos I cant access it

[hydroflame]

whats toStore in your case ?

[Lua]

o, its because tostore equals null.. But how can you get an instance of the full class but ensuring your variable is initialized? and the itemstack constructor is private

[hydroflame]

itemstack constructor isnt private,

 

 

toStore was meant to be replaced with the itemstack you want to save :\
