[1.7.2] Write/Read NBT at a different time then when the game is saved/loaded


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am using NBT to save a dynamically changing set of strings in a computer block's gui in my mod. How it works is the player enters commands in the text field and the 'console log' updates accordingly. I would like to keep the console log across different sessions on the computer. I.E. Right now if you leave and come back, the console log is clean, fresh start. I would like to have it so that if the console says cheese, and you leave, when you come back it stills says cheese. I see no other way to do this other than with NBT. However, I would like it so the player doesn't have to save the world in order to save the log, which would require them to leave the computer(in game one) to enter the pause menu, which would 'wipe' the console log. Is there a way to initiate the NBT writing and reading processes say, when the GUI closes/opens respectivley?

GotoLink already pointed out your problem - you say you are "doing that", but if you are reading and writing from NBT properly, on the server side, the gui will have all of the Strings that you saved the next time you open it. The fact that it doesn't mean there is something wrong either with the way you are "writing" strings to the NBT from your gui, with your packet class, or with the tile entity you are using to store the NBT, if any.

 

Without seeing the code, there is no way for us to pinpoint your error, so if you'd like help, post your Gui, Packet, and TileEntity.

tag.setString(ConsoleLogLine1, "ConsoleLogLine1");	
tag.setString(ConsoleLogLine2, "ConsoleLogLine2");	
tag.setString(ConsoleLogLine3, "ConsoleLogLine3");	
tag.setString(ConsoleLogLine4, "ConsoleLogLine4");	
tag.setString(ConsoleLogLine5, "ConsoleLogLine5");	
}

Looks to me like you've got that backwards... NBT set methods take the key first, and the value second.

This line in your packet is unnecessary; tile entities store the data between world saves and save automatically when the world does. You should never need to call writeToNBT for a tile entity, and certainly not with a new tag compound (unless you are sending it with getDescriptionPacket).

((TileEntityComputer) te).writeToNBT(new NBTTagCompound());

 

Anyway, do the debugging statements in your packet class all print the values you expect them to?

When you pass in your TileEntity to the gui, are you sure it is the correct one? (world.getTileEntity(x, y, z))

When you open your gui, are you passing the correct x/y/z coordinates, i.e. using the Block / TileEntity coordinates and not the player's?

    • Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall
    • sorry, I might be stupid, but how do I open it? because the only options I have are too X out, copy it, which doesn't work and send crash report, which doesn't show it to me, also, sorry for taking so long.
