Trying to submit a pull request but I am not being able to make a Forge .patch not including any fml code. Any help would be appreciated. 

If you've done everything correctly, running update_patches should generate all your new patches, thats the exact script i use.

Oh thats easy, thanks dude.

 

So I make a src_base folder in mcp folder. Then I place everything inside src into it. Then I make src_work and place src into it then modified source into src_work and run update_patches.sh?

 

I need to use setup.sh.

That didn't work either. Can't even extract the FML stuff. So i'll have to do something about it. Just want you (Lex) to know that Entity.getEntityData is not working. So I made my own NBT thingy for forge. I'll post it in the requests thingy page.

Your failure to double click two scrips makes me instantly weary of anything you have to input.

However, how exactly is getEntityData not working.. My tests show it working..

It was always returning null meaning that the statements you put in read/write nbt were never called. I did test this. Sorry I meant that the data is never written to either the "level.dat" or the player.dat when using getEntityData

I don't see ForgeData 

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=1312.msg11680#new

As long as you call getEntityData() it'll save it to the entity next time it is written.

It's been working for quite some time.

It does not save anything if getEntityData() was never called for that entity.

So...

Show me code.

Made a quick test mod, it was saying it was reading and all. But no ForgeData in the dats and the value went back to zero. Never read.

	}

	if(gui instanceof GuiMainMenu) {
		shouldRead = true;
		//Just to make sure the data gets read and I don't get tricked.
		randomValue = 0f;
	}
}

private void tickGame(Minecraft minecraft) {
	if(shouldRead == true) {
		randomValue = minecraft.thePlayer.getEntityData().getFloat("value");
		System.out.println("Data was read. Value is: " + randomValue);
		shouldRead = false;
	} else {
		randomValue = randomValue + 0.0000001f;
		writeTime++;
		if(writeTime > 100 /*5 seconds*/) {
			minecraft.thePlayer.getEntityData().setFloat("value", randomValue);
			System.out.println("Data was written");
			System.out.println(randomValue);
			writeTime = 0;
		}
	}
}
}

 

I know it used to work cause I used it! But now for some reason it doesn't. The code looks the same as in 1.2.5. Don't know what the problem is. I'll continue using the NBTEvent thing I made until you fix this or I find out out the make patches.

Well your issue there is fairly obvious.

You're writing to the CLIENT entity.

Not the server entity.

Your client entity never gets saved.

Well then whats the server entityplayer. (EntityPlayerMP) ?

In its list of players, go dig in the code to find it.

Done. Thanks

EntityPlayerMP player = (EntityPlayerMP) ModLoader.getMinecraftServerInstance().getConfigurationManager().playerEntityList.iterator().next();

That.. is some horrible code. There is a function around there to get the player by name.

Your code wont get you what you want if someone happened to join the server before you.
