[1.7.2]Packet data not persisting

[DuskFall]

So i'm trying to synchronise these arrays between the client and server, except i cant even get an int to sync using packets (must be packets, not datawatcher). Here's my packet class :

 

(Seriously, is there a problem with macs and that damn code button?)

 

package mine.packethandling;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.common.FMLCommonHandler;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.FMLLog;

import mine.player.PlayerSkills;

import mine.player.PlayerSkills.Skill;

import mine.util.Me;

import io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf;

import io.netty.channel.ChannelHandlerContext;

import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

 

public class PacketSyncProps extends AbstractPacket {

 

int times;

public PacketSyncProps(){}

 

public PacketSyncProps(int times)

{

Me.log(this.getClass(),"When created, times = " + times);

this.times = times;

}

 

 

@Override

public void encodeInto(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf buffer) {

 

}

 

@Override

public void decodeInto(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf buffer) {

 

}

 

@Override

public void handleClientSide(EntityPlayer player)

{

Me.log(this.getClass(), "Client side syncing player with sent data");

Me.log(this.getClass(), "Existing data : Times : " + this.times);

}

 

@Override

public void handleServerSide(EntityPlayer player)

{

Me.log(this.getClass(), "Why was this sent to server?");

Me.log(this.getClass(), "Fish level pre death " + PlayerStats(player).getSkill(Skill.ONE));

PlayerStats(player).incrementSkill(Skill.ONE, player);

 

}

 

}

 

And that packet is created server-side with :

Me.packetPipeline.sendTo(new PacketSyncProps(12), (EntityPlayerMP) player);

 

(The Me.log spits out the class, the effective side and then the message, and everything is happeneing on the right side)

Why does this.times say 0 when i set it to 12?

[DuskFall]

Oh... (facepalm) Nowhere in all the tutorials i found said that... Hmm, how would i go about that?

[DuskFall]

You sir, are a life saver. Have all the upvotes/highfives/whatevers.

 

Well, now what do i do with : readerIndex(4) + length(4) exceeds writerIndex(4)?

For an example of sending/receiving packets, take a look at my network code;

https://github.com/wiggertolsma/usefullstuff/tree/master/src/main/java/ace/usefullstuff/packets

 

This code comes from the wiki, and works perfectly.

To send a packet, you use ModInstance.packetPipeline.sendTo(new -packetClass-, player).

 

Hope this helps you! It's fully 1.7.4 compatible

That sounds like the packet data that you are reading is larger than the packet data you wrote, or maybe the other way around, though I could be completely wrong. Why not show us your encodeInto and decodeInto code?

I solved it now, but was away when i was doing it so couldnt update you all. Here's how it works for me :

 

@Override

public void encodeInto(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf buffer)

{

RSLogging.log(this.getClass(), "Encoding Exp " + ExpAmount + " " + SkillAmount + " for " + theSkill.ordinal());

buffer.writeInt(ExpAmount);

buffer.writeInt(SkillAmount);

buffer.writeInt(theSkill.ordinal());

}

 

@Override

public void decodeInto(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ByteBuf buffer)

{

this.ExpAmount = buffer.readInt();

this.SkillAmount = buffer.readInt();

this.theSkill = Skill.getValue(buffer.readInt());

 

Me.log(this.getClass(), "Decoding : Exp " + ExpAmount + " " + SkillAmount + " for " + theSkill);

 

}
