[1.7.2]Easier Tutorial for Netty Packet Handling

[Mecblader]

Hello, I need to setup a Netty Packet Handling system. I originally had a packet handling system for my mod, but that broke in the update. So I need to start from scratch. I came across this tutorial http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Netty_Packet_Handling, but I really don't understand it because it just gives you the class setup, without explaining much. I was wondering if there was an easier tutorial to follow. All help is appreciated, Thank You.

There are a few tutorials.  They all do the same basic stuff, but they each break up the processing a little bit differently so I agree it can be confusing.

 

What are you using the packets for?

 

For Entities I came up with my own system which I find fairly easy to understand.  I made a tutorial where I tried to explain a bit more (like you said the other tutorials are more like examples than explanations): http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/packet-handling-for-minecraft-forge-172.html

 

SanAndreasP has some good system, and so does CoolAlias. I think both have some tutorial/example code around that is worth checking out.  You don't need to use my code, but hopefully my explanations help you understand the common points for all these approaches.

Thank you I will check out those tutorials. I need to send packets because I have a custom lvl system, eg. WoodCuttingLvl, MiningLvl, AttackLvl, I think its about 24 lvl or something around that.
