So I am making a mod for Minecraft 1.6.4 running Forge #965 and i encountered the following problem:

In my Gui class im sending packets to the server to save changed settings. I've tested it and it ONLY sends 1 packet, but my packethandler receives always 2 packets. The 2 received packets seem to have the excact same data and all the values of the variables are the same. I think it automatically sends 2 packets to ensure that atleast 1 arrives, but how can I detect which packets are unneeded, cause the first ones arrived? Please help!

 

PacketHandlerASI.java:

<code>

@Override

public void onPacketData(INetworkManager parNetwordManager, Packet250CustomPayload parPacket, Player parPlayer) {

if(parPacket.channel != PACKET_CHANNEL) return;

EntityPlayer player = (EntityPlayer)parPlayer;

boolean isClient = player.worldObj.isRemote;

 

DataInputStream inputStream = new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(parPacket.data));

try {

byte packetID = inputStream.readByte();

if(packetID == PACKET_ID.OBJECTSORTER_GUI_SET.ID) {

handlePacketObjectSorterGuiSet(parNetwordManager, parPacket, parPlayer, player, inputStream, isClient);

}

else if(packetID == PACKET_ID.OBJECTSORTER_REQUEST.ID) {

handlePacketObjectSorterRequest(parNetwordManager, parPacket, parPlayer, player, inputStream, isClient);

}

}

catch(Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

System.err.println("An exception occured while processing the packet!");

}

}

</code>

 

GuiObjectSorter.java:

<code>

public void sendRequestToServer(int parType, int parSide) {

Packet250CustomPayload packet = new Packet250CustomPayload();

ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

DataOutputStream packetOutput = new DataOutputStream(byteArrayOutputStream);

 

try {

packetOutput.writeByte(PacketHandlerASI.PACKET_ID.OBJECTSORTER_REQUEST.ID);

packetOutput.writeInt(tileEntity.xCoord);

packetOutput.writeInt(tileEntity.yCoord);

packetOutput.writeInt(tileEntity.zCoord);

packetOutput.writeByte((byte)((parType & 0xf) | ((parSide << 4) & 0xf0)));

}

catch(IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

 

packet.channel = PacketHandlerASI.PACKET_CHANNEL;

packet.data = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();

packet.length = packet.data.length;

 

System.out.println("GuiObjectSorter.actionPerformed() > Sent packet to server!");

PacketDispatcher.sendPacketToServer(packet);

}

</code>

I don't have the answer to your question, but please update to 1.7.

Packet Handling is much simpler!

I cant because im making an addon for ComputerCraft for the FTB Monster Pack which is 1.6.4

Could it just be updating a server and client side at the same time? make one request, update the gui and object?

Its just sending the packet to the server so that cannot be.

Update to 1.7.
