[1.7.2][SOLVED]Need help setting up my SimpleMessageHandler properly

Start new topic

Posted August 13, 201411 yr

Hey I've been working on this for a week now, searching and reading up on all the posts about this and the tutorials. However I get crashes when I register my custom packets/messages

"net.registerMessage(customPacketHandler.class, customPacket.class, packetId++, Side.SERVER);"

From what I read in posts they use the proxies, however I have no idea how to use it, or use it correctly. I can't find any tutorials or read any posts that make sense to me, all I want is to be able to start using custom GUIs to control tileEntities and other information. And so I would like to ask for some kind of example of doing this whole setup, I really would like to get started on this my mod is so backlogged from this.

Would anyone be nice enough to show me, how to code "The registering of messages/packets", "Sending the packets/messages", and "receiving these messages/packets in a tileEntity".

Also just for references these are the threads I've found and read:

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,20135.0.html

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,20138.0.html

I've tried to understand these and I fail time and time again, and this is my last resort to ask for some kind of visual code example of how to do this. Thanks for any that respond.

Currently updating my Mod to 1.10.2

What crash does it give you? Your code seems alright.

I don't think you need to use proxies, they work fine to me without them.

The way I currently use those packets is by sending messages from server to update client's information when it is changed on server.

Since I know it will always be sync I use the info in my client while rendering Gui without worrying about whether it is sync or not. Although I'm sure you can send request-reply message for the info and render on reply handling

If your packet handler is in same class as the packet, try register packet and handler like this:

net.registerMessage(customPacket.customPacketHandler.class, customPacket.class, packetId++, Side.SERVER);

Quickly gave that a shot, still same error.

This is weird...I tried your customPacket.class and registered it same way as you do in my mod and it doesn't crash at all...

Umm I know this is rude, but may I see how you setup your channel and register your messages?

Can PM it if you don't wish to make it public. I have no idea why this isn't working for me and I see everyone saying theirs works really makes me wonder what I'm doing lol

I can't figure out why your code doesn't crash my mod but it does yours. Oh, you should check that you are using the latest recommended version of Forge for 1.7.2.

August 13, 201411 yr

my guess would be hes using a forge version below the network fixs (1122~)

Update forge to latest/rec and try again.

Whole time I just needed to update... now I feel really foolish, Gave everyone a thanks that replied. I can now send packets, so it's time to move on with my mod. I would have never thought it was just an updated required the whole time.

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Hiho,

first of all I want to say that the new forum design looks really good.

However, there are currently two issues:

In the "Unread" section, the "Mark all as Read" feature seems to be missing - or am I just overlooking it somewhere?
Some threads don’t automatically get marked as read when you open them. So the post still shows up in "Unread," even though you’ve already viewed it.
Example Thread: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/159415-cannot-find-client-log-entries/

Then I have a smaller suggestion, referring to the Text Editor:

It is possible to move out the "Inline Code"-Feature from the "More Formatting Options" and add it directly to the Text Editor Tool Bar?
Same for "Quote"-Feature inside the Create Section

These two features are used quite often (at least by me) - as far as I remember, they were also available in the old forum design.
