[1.7.10] [Solved] io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException

Posted November 15, 201410 yr

Hey everyone, I have a question about an issue I'm having with netty, I've used it before and this is the first time I've ever encountered a bug quite like this.

Clearly it has an issue with discriminator 21, which makes sense, because I have no discriminator 21 registered, here's my packet registration (and yes it is being called)

    public static void initialize() {
        NETWORK = NetworkRegistry.INSTANCE.newSimpleChannel(References.MOD_CHANNEL_ID);
        NETWORK.registerMessage(ServerReceiveNewRecipe.Handler.class, ServerReceiveNewRecipe.class, 0, Side.SERVER);
        NETWORK.registerMessage(ServerRemoveOldRecipe.Handler.class, ServerRemoveOldRecipe.class, 1, Side.SERVER);
        NETWORK.registerMessage(ClientReceiveAllRecipesFromServer.Handler.class, ClientReceiveAllRecipesFromServer.class, 2, Side.CLIENT);
        NETWORK.registerMessage(ClientReceiveNewRecipeFromServer.Handler.class, ClientReceiveNewRecipeFromServer.class, 3, Side.CLIENT);
        NETWORK.registerMessage(ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer.Handler.class, ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer.class, 4, Side.CLIENT);
    }

All of the packets seem to work fine minus the ServerRemoveOldRecipe packet

//Imports removed to save space
public class ServerRemoveOldRecipe implements IMessage {

    private int handlerID = 0;
    private int recipeID = 0;

    public ServerRemoveOldRecipe() {}

    public ServerRemoveOldRecipe(int handlerID, int recipeID){
        this.handlerID = handlerID;
        this.recipeID = recipeID;
    }

    @Override
    public void fromBytes(ByteBuf byteBuf) {
        handlerID = byteBuf.getInt(0);
        recipeID = byteBuf.getInt(1);
    }

    @Override
    public void toBytes(ByteBuf byteBuf) {
        byteBuf.setInt(0, handlerID);
        byteBuf.setInt(1, recipeID);
    }

    public static class Handler implements IMessageHandler<ServerRemoveOldRecipe, IMessage> {

        @Override
        public IMessage onMessage(ServerRemoveOldRecipe message, MessageContext ctx) {
            if(ctx.side.isServer()) {
                RecipeRegistry.INSTANCE.removeRecipe(message.handlerID, message.recipeID);
                NetworkHandler.NETWORK.sendToAll(new ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer(message.handlerID, message.recipeID));
            }
            return null;
        }
    }
}

Here is the ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer class, although we never get this far as the crash happens before it, but for the sake of completeness.

//imports and package info removed to save space
public class ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer implements IMessage {

    private int handlerID = 0, position = 0;

    public ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer() {}

    public ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer(int handlerID, int position) {
        this.handlerID = handlerID;
        this.position = position;
    }

    @Override
    public void fromBytes(ByteBuf byteBuf) {
        handlerID = byteBuf.getInt(0);
        position = byteBuf.getInt(1);
    }

    @Override
    public void toBytes(ByteBuf byteBuf) {
        byteBuf.setInt(0, handlerID);
        byteBuf.setInt(1, position);
    }

    public static class Handler implements IMessageHandler<ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer, IMessage> {

        @Override
        public IMessage onMessage(ClientReceiveRecipeRemovalFromServer message, MessageContext ctx) {
            if(ctx.side.isClient()) {
                RecipeRegistry.INSTANCE.removeRecipe(message.handlerID, message.position);
            }
            return null;
        }
    }

}

And finally here's the code that actually sends the packet to the server

                //Some context for this code: It's within a GUI screen under actionPerformed(GuiButton) so this code is called from a client telling the server to remove a recipe, the server then tells all the clients to remove the same recipe.
                if(FMLCommonHandler.instance().getMinecraftServerInstance() == null) { 
                    //getMinecraftServerInstance() is null only if you're a client connected to a remote server I've found, which is when I want to send the packet, if theres a better way to detect that please let me know.
                    NetworkHandler.NETWORK.sendToServer(new ServerRemoveOldRecipe(RecipeRegistry.INSTANCE.getAliasIntID(handler.getID()), selected));
                } else {
                    handler.deleteRecipe(selected);
                }

I really have absolutely no idea why this is happening and I've spent probably 5 hours trying to figure it out now. Some help would be greatly appreciated, and if I've made a dumb mistake that I'm just blind to then I apologize but I really can't see one.

Remove the integers from the

byteBuf.getInt();[code]

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

1.12 -> 1.13 primer by williewillus.

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

Your setInt(0) is overwriting the discriminator, which is placed into the buffer before the call to toBytes

I suggest you use readInt() and writeInt() instead of getInt() and setInt()..

Thank you very much, I didn't realize it was something so simple, like I said I don't have a lot of experience with netty but I have done a bit in the past and i used get and set int with no problems so i assumed that was the correct way to do things.

Cobblemon invalid player data

Hi everyone, I keep getting "invalid player data" when trying to log onto my friend's server. Log analysis says to remove Night Lights and ImmediatelyFast, but that doesn't work. Any insight is appreciated

Bad pathfinding for big mobs (1.21.1)

I've struggled with this for way too long now, so I have decided to ask for some assistance here because there is almost no information about this online.

I made a hostile mob and I built it like this:
public static final Supplier<EntityType<Bunyip>> BUNYIP = ENTITY_TYPES.register("bunyip" , () -> EntityType.Builder. of(Bunyip::new, MobCategory.MONSTER).sized(3f, 2.5f).eyeHeight(1.75f).build("bunyip"));

However, I have discovered that a BoundingBox of 3 is too big for the vanilla pathfinding to work well. In fact, anything bigger than a block will not work well. This is especially noticeable when having it chase a player in a negative X and/or negative Z direction. The mob starts spinning, walking backwards, walking diagonally, etc.

I am using the Goal system:
protected void registerGoals() { super.registerGoals(); this.goalSelector.addGoal(1, new MeleeAttackGoal(this, 1.25, true)); this.targetSelector.addGoal(2, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Player.class, true, true)); }

This does not seem to be a me issue as the ravager, one of the biggest vanilla mobs, also struggles with proper pathfinding. I am a bit familiar with how Minecraft's pathfinding works, but not enough to make a pathfinding system from scratch (or at least not in a reasonable amount of time). Is there any way to fix this with some tweaks or will I have to make a custom pathfinding system?

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Unfortunately, it seems that Invision has decided that everything is locked down and no longer customizable.
Their attitude to anyone who wants to edit anything is 'Just accept it we know best and screw you for even insinuating that you want to customize your own site'
So there isn't much we can do about the layout of actual features.
Best bet for the editor is that psudo markdown works, so typing ` around words make code blocks.
Only options is to start writing bespoke modifications to the forum's php code itself, which I really don't want to do.
I would of stayed on v4 but the version of PHP that it supports is going EOL and Invision has stated they have no intentions of upgrading it.
They also removed the central community for finding plugins/community addons.
Overall it is my feeling that they are intentionally trying to kill off self-hosting communities by removing features and locking things down, in an effort to force everyone into using their paid hosting services.

My HOPE is that someone in the overall forum community will write an exporter for Invision to something like SMF. Which is what we were originally on before old team members decided enterprise software is better.

@FoxyWoxy do you potentially have an estimated time for fabric 1.21.5 and what will it be posted on (modrinth, etc.)
