[Solved][1.7.2]Do we need to sync gui containers our self?

[EdgarAllen]

Working on some gui stuff and I am having client server sync issues. Slot contents are getting set properly client side, but stay null server side. This used to work automagically in 1.6.4. Is this something we have to handle our selves now?

I was messing around with 1.7.2 builds and was having problems with the custom GUI associated with containers as well.  The only way to get them to open was to force the activation event to trigger on both the client and server. (This is against the code that you see in BlockFurnace, for example).

 

After reading the GIT logs for FML and Forge, there was actually an issue in that the server was not sending the openGui packet to the client.  They have fixed this, and the containers now function as expected.

 

The only problem is, they have not released a new build with this fix.  So, you would either need to wait for a new build, or compile the source yourself using the code from GIT.

Ah, this is the same problem I was having.  I hope they put the new release out soon, because I don't want to get hours into learning how to compile the git repo properly and then have them release it.  Thanks for the heads up, Wierdo99.

I came across that last night. It does fix the gui problems I was having.
