Sending Packets?!

[Mecblader]

Hello, I have added a packet handler to my mod and it doesn't work. I have never used or known much about them until today. I followed a tutorial and I get no errors, but I never receive the info in the packet. Since I don't really know much about Packet Handling, I don't really know whats wrong or what could be wrong with this. Sorry my code is messy. I have been trying a lot of stuff and am basically trying to get the code functional before I try to make it more organized. I would appreciate any help anyone can give.

 

Tutorial:

Packet Handler:

package mod.xtronius.rc_mod.handlers;

import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;

import net.minecraft.network.INetworkManager;
import net.minecraft.network.packet.Packet250CustomPayload;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.FMLCommonHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.IPacketHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.Player;

public class PacketHandler implements IPacketHandler {

        @Override
        public void onPacketData(INetworkManager manager,
                        Packet250CustomPayload packet, Player player) {
                System.out.println("hello");
                if (packet.channel.equals("RC_ModWoodCuttingLvl")) {
                	
                	handleWoodCutting(packet);
                }
        }
        
        private void handleWoodCutting(Packet250CustomPayload packet) {
                DataInputStream inputStream = new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(packet.data));
                
                float WoodCuttingLvl;
                
                try {
                	WoodCuttingLvl = inputStream.readFloat();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        return;
                }
                
                System.out.println("[Rune-Craft]" + " Client- " + WoodCuttingLvl);
        }

}

 

Method Were Packet is Sent:

public float woodBreakSpeed(World world, EntityPlayer player, PlayerXPValue xpValue, Block block, int x, int y, int z) {

	Item tool = eventBlockReplace.getTool(player);
	int toolLvl = eventBlockReplace.getToolLevel(player);
	int meta = block.getDamageValue(world, x, y, z);
	float toolSpeed = eventBlockReplace.getToolSpeed(player);

	float Wood = 4.5F;
	float Yew = 0.75F;
	float Oak = 2.5F;
	float Teak = 1.5F;

	if(meta == 0) {
		if(toolLvl == 1 || toolLvl == 2 || toolLvl == 3 || toolLvl == 4 || toolLvl == 5) {
			if(!world.isRemote){
                float WoodCuttingLvl = ((Wood*toolSpeed) * (lvlManager.getLvl(player, "WoodCuttingLvl")/10));
                
                ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(4);
                DataOutputStream outputStream = new DataOutputStream(bos);
                try {
                        outputStream.writeFloat(WoodCuttingLvl);
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                        ex.printStackTrace();
                }
                
                Packet250CustomPayload packet = new Packet250CustomPayload();
                packet.channel = "RC_ModWoodCuttingLvl";
                packet.data = bos.toByteArray();
                packet.length = bos.size();
                
                
                if (!world.isRemote) {
                	System.out.println("Running - Server");
                            We are on the server side.
                           EntityPlayerMP playerObj = (EntityPlayerMP) player;
                        PacketDispatcher.sendPacketToPlayer(packet, (Player)player);
                } else if (world.isRemote) {
                        // We are on the client side.
                        //EntityClientPlayerMP playerObj = (EntityClientPlayerMP) player;
                       // playerObj.sendQueue.addToSendQueue(packet);
                } else {
                        // We are on the Bukkit server.
                }
                	
			//System.out.println(((Wood*toolSpeed) * (lvlManager.getLvl(player, "WoodCuttingLvl")/10)));
			}
			return ((Wood*toolSpeed));
		}
	}
	else if(meta == 1) {
		if(toolLvl == 5) {
			//eventBlockReplace.setWoodSpeed((Yew*toolSpeed));
			return (Yew*toolSpeed);
		}
	}
	else if(meta == 2) {
		if(toolLvl == 1 || toolLvl == 2 || toolLvl == 3 || toolLvl == 4 || toolLvl == 5) {
			//eventBlockReplace.setWoodSpeed((Oak*toolSpeed));
			return (Oak*toolSpeed);
		}
	}
	else if(meta == 3) {
		if(toolLvl == 4 || toolLvl == 5) {
			//eventBlockReplace.setWoodSpeed((Teak*toolSpeed));
			return (Teak*toolSpeed);
		}
	} else 
		System.out.println("[Rune-Craft] Error - WoodBreakSpeed Method");
		return 0;

I think your packet channel is too long.  I think its limited to 16 characters.

I changed the channel name and I still get no response, from what I know is calling the the send packet method, bit nothing comes out when I do the check in the Packet Handler

[Draco18s]

Did you set up your @NetworkMod annotation?

[Mecblader]

Thak You I did, but I misspelled the channel name. Sorry for the late response, my Internet went down for some reason.
