Hey, so I am trying to send a packet from the client to the server which contains a simple heartbeat test (Wrote this to debug), note that server to client works

 

Here is the code:

 

Common Proxy

NetMgr.channel.registerMessage(ServerHeartbeat.Handler.class, ServerHeartbeat.class, 0, Side.SERVER);
NetMgr.channel.registerMessage(ClientHeartbeat.Handler.class, ClientHeartbeat.class, 1, Side.CLIENT);

 

On item right click

if (world.isRemote)
{
        // Testing parameters [par1: random string, par2: random number]
NetMgr.channel.sendToServer(new Heartbeat("This is client", );
}

 

Heartbeat Class (Same for both Server and Client, the difference is the class name)

public class ClientHeartbeat implements IMessage
{
private String name = "";
private int secretNumber = 0;

public ClientHeartbeat()
{

}

public ClientHeartbeat(String name, int secretNumber)
{
	this.name = name;
	this.secretNumber = secretNumber;
}

@Override
public void fromBytes(ByteBuf byteBuf)
{
	this.name = this.readString(byteBuf);
	this.secretNumber = byteBuf.readInt();
}

@Override
public void toBytes(ByteBuf byteBuf)
{
	this.writeString(byteBuf, this.name);
	byteBuf.writeInt(this.secretNumber);
}

public void writeString(ByteBuf output, String s)
{
	output.writeInt(s.getBytes().length);
	output.writeBytes(s.getBytes());
}

public String readString(ByteBuf byteBuf)
{
	return new String(byteBuf.readBytes(byteBuf.readInt()).array());
}

public static class Handler implements IMessageHandler<Heartbeat, IMessage>
{
	@Override
	public IMessage onMessage(Heartbeat heartbeat, MessageContext messageContext)
	{
		LogHelper.info("PP Client Heartbeat");
		return null;
	}
}
}

Extra Notes, so I debugged the code and led me to a java class named "FMLCommonHandler" -> "FMLServerHandler", seems that the code is executing to this method:

 

public NetworkManager getClientToServerNetworkManager() {
    return this.sidedDelegate.getClientToServerNetworkManager();
}

public NetworkManager getClientToServerNetworkManager() {
    throw new RuntimeException("Missing");
}

 

Hope that extra code helps , Thanks!

Show your Heartbeat class.

This is the heartbeat class, client and server are the same, the difference is the name:

 

public class ClientHeartbeat implements IMessage
{
private String name = "";
private int secretNumber = 0;

public ClientHeartbeat()
{

}

public ClientHeartbeat(String name, int secretNumber)
{
	this.name = name;
	this.secretNumber = secretNumber;
}

@Override
public void fromBytes(ByteBuf byteBuf)
{
	this.name = this.readString(byteBuf);
	this.secretNumber = byteBuf.readInt();
}

@Override
public void toBytes(ByteBuf byteBuf)
{
	this.writeString(byteBuf, this.name);
	byteBuf.writeInt(this.secretNumber);
}

public void writeString(ByteBuf output, String s)
{
	output.writeInt(s.getBytes().length);
	output.writeBytes(s.getBytes());
}

public String readString(ByteBuf byteBuf)
{
	return new String(byteBuf.readBytes(byteBuf.readInt()).array());
}

public static class Handler implements IMessageHandler<Heartbeat, IMessage>
{
	@Override
	public IMessage onMessage(Heartbeat heartbeat, MessageContext messageContext)
	{
		LogHelper.info("PP Client Heartbeat");
		return null;
	}
}
}

So after a bit of variable watching and swearing at my PC for not working, this is what I found. TLDR at the bottom of post

 

I put a watch on these four instances and methods:

 

FMLCommonHandler.instance().getEffectiveSide()
FMLCommonHandler.instance().getSide()

FMLClientHandler.instance().getClient().isSingleplayer()
FMLClientHandler.instance().getServer().isPublic

 

When remote was true (client), getEffectiveSide was "Side.CLIENT" but getSide() was "Side.Server" which messed up the whole channel, even my GUI's where not working as they were trying to execute on the server.

 

This code below is found in the FMLNetworkHandler, checks if client to open the GUI, as it tried to check if its client, theMC internal state was server and it messed up.

FMLCommonHandler.instance().getSide().equals(Side.CLIENT)

 

Now obviously the dedicated server was working perfectly as everything is executed server side, and I asked my self what was wrong in the execution path of my Client Debug and my Server Debug Environments?

 

Two words, "Watched List"... I had this expression in the watches list "FMLClientHandler.instance().getServer().isPublic" to check if the current world is open to LAN but "isPublic" is only available when you cast the return of getServer(), which is MinecraftServer to IntegratedServer as the "isPublic" field only exists in IntegratedServer...

 

What I guess is that the exception was causing the debugger to act weirdly and throw an exception that the IDE catches but messed up the MC State, and since the watches where only on the clients debugger the server worked normally. Weird huh!

 

Sorry for the long post.

 

TLDR

Had watched expression throwing an exception messing up Minecraft's execution path, at least thats what I think.

 

Can I cry now?  :'(
