Hello everyone,

 

I just have a question. Is there a way to write a String to a ByteBuf object when sending a packet? I don't see a ByteBuf.writeString() method, so i don't think so, but i thought i make sure. Do you know of a alternate way to do this?

 

I'm following this packet handler tutorial: http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Netty_Packet_Handling

 

Thanks for reading!

I'm not sure if you have a method to write an array of bytes, but here's a way to convert a String to a byte array:

new String("Hello World!").getBytes();

I use this method to write Strings as UTF:

ByteBufUtils.writeUTF8String(buffer, String);

It worked! Thanks to both of you.
