[1.7.2] Problems with SimpleNetworkWrappers and IMessages SOLVED!

[Kant0sh]

I'm working on the GUI functionality of my block for 4 days now, and I still cant pull it off about time to ask for some help...

I'm trying to display a simple progress bar, and i pulled it off for singleplayer, not using messages, just using the getClient().getServer() function to get the serverside TileEntity, but this doesn't work for multiplayer unfortunately... So now, I'm sending a message containing a string (because sending too many things at once had me get an IndexOutOfBounds) in which i carry all the data required... the string gets created by the getEncodedMessageAsString() method in the PrinterTileEntity class, and gets passed into the constructor in the sendToAllAround() method which gets called in updateEntity(). Here comes the problem: The message that is received only contains the string i set as field, so if i did "String string;", i got a NullPointer, and if i did "String string = "";" i got an empty string variable through if you want to look at the code, and the issue i have up for three days, here is the links:
