(forge 9.11.1.965)

Pardon me if I'm writing total nonsense (I'm kind of close to madness right now) but I've wasted hours trying to get my TileFluidHandler based TileEntitys to sync up properly when I found this in the TileFluidHandler class

 

    @Override
    public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound tag)
    {
        super.readFromNBT(tag);
        tank.writeToNBT(tag);
    }

    @Override
    public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound tag)
    {
        super.writeToNBT(tag);
        tank.readFromNBT(tag);
    }

 

Aren't the tank.writeToNBT() and tank.readFromNBT() swapped ?

Depends on what they do, though it looks a bit confusing indeed.

Nope that makes sense. It tells the Tile to save its data onto a NBT tag and then makes the IFluidTank read that data. Thats how forge syncs them.

 

If you post your TileEntity code and packet handing code, we might be able to help you track down your problem.

nvm.. Just opened the code. It wasnt doing what I thought it was. You could always try switching them and seeing if it works.

@Op: Yes, looks like a bug to me. Fix: Don't use TileFluidHandler.

 

Yeah that's what I figured. I ended up basically copying the TileFluidHandler code into my own IFluidHandler implementation, switched the NBT read/write around and added the syncing. Seems to work for now. It's neither pretty nor does it do much on it's own but here is the code if someone is interested.

    }

@Override

	writeToNBT(tag);

	return new Packet132TileEntityData(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord, 1, tag);
}

@Override

{
	readFromNBT(packet.data);

You should file a bug report if you havent already.

Just did that. And thanks for the help.
