I'm trying to get forge up and running so I can use the Minions mod, and while things apparently go alright for install, the first time I try to use it, the whole thing crashes. To install it I downloaded a fresh minecraft_server.jar and wiped bin from my desktop pc - extracted the universal-4.0.0.234 file contents into both and only deleted META-INF on the PC/client side.

 

I've shown the mod creator the problem report and he said that a call method error would not be inside the Minions mod. So here it is on this side, hopefully it can get sorted out:

He (atomicstryker) said the method in question was 'Block.getDamageValue'

So he knows hes using a function thats client side only.. yet he still sends you here to get support? No

Tell him to stop using a client side only function on the server.

All he says is that it's a 'minecraft' problem, and since the only thing added in is forge since grabbing 1.3.2 I came over here because forge is a dependency of minions.

 

You say it's a mod problem (or rather a coder problem), but what am I supposed to take back to the other forum to try and get the issue addressed?

That he shouldn't be fucking using client side only methods?

Seems straight forward to me, It has NOTHING to do with forge and EVERYTHING to do with him not properly testing/writing his mod.

Technically MC 1.3.2 is both client and server, so there is no difference anymore. As for your crash, it claims Block.getDamageValue doesn't exist, which is assured to exist, so i can only guess something is wrong with your minecraft.

 

This is what the response to my original crash report of the mod/server-output was. He's got a point - right? I thought that was the whole big deal about 1.3 over 1.2, the code was the same for server vs client - the only difference now was that server side didn't need graphic resource files.

 

Please keep in mind I'm bouncing back and forth on this forum and the mod forum trying to figure this out. I'm trying to ask questions and not point fingers because I'm just an admittedly clueless end user trying to get a mod working

I dont care about you bouncing back and forth.

There IS a difference between Client distribution and dedicated server distribution.

Namely, one has a fuck ton of functions/classes stripped out, i'll leave you to guess which one.

 

Point is, hes a retard and is using a method that only exists on the CLIENT distribution (minecraft.jar) on the SERVER distribution (minecraft_server.jar), it does not exists.

Tell him to stop being lazy and go test for himself, it's his issue, he needs to fix it.

 

Block.getDamageValue does NOT exist on the server. As I stated time and again. He needs to 1) stop using it or 2) ship a base class edit that adds it back in. Which would be stupid.

Wow. Chip on the shoulder, much? If you have opinions like this about another coder I can only imagine what high regard you hold basic users like myself in, but I think you've already made that abundantly clear too.

 

With all due respect to the project and the work that's gone into it though, I can't say I've enjoyed having any contact whatsoever with you. Despite that, I do appreciate the input and have passed it onto the mod developer and I hope your day goes well.

I never hide the fact that I hate stupid/lazy people. If you bother me with something you can research yourself, or worse yet if you ARGUE with me about something I'm 100% sure i'm correct about, {and I research things before I talk} then it's a waist of my time and annoys the shit out of me.

So, ya, once he fixers his stupid mistake you should be ready to go.
