[SOLVED] Proxy / Server error

[Iceminecrafter]

With my mod, after running it on a server and researching I know that my code is erroring due to the server running client related stuff, yet when i try to create a proxy using @SidedProxy i get the error of

 

Attempted to load a proxy type com.iceminecrafter.IME.proxy.ClientProxy into com.iceminecrafter.IME.IcesMinecraftExpansion.MFCAluminiumArmorMat, but the types don't match [16:57:35] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: An error occured trying to load a proxy into {clientSide=com.iceminecrafter.IME.proxy.ClientProxy, serverSide=com.iceminecrafter.IME.proxy.ServerProxy}.com.iceminecrafter.IME.IcesMinecraftExpansion cpw.mods.fml.common.LoaderException

 

Help would be much appreciated

The error is obvious. What you told FML to put in your proxy field cannot go there because the types dont match.

[Iceminecrafter]

But then how does that work as that is my server proxy, and that is my client proxy....

[Iceminecrafter]

My code shortened down

 

 

package com.iceminecrafter.IME;

 

 

 

 

@Mod(modid = IcesMinecraftExpansion.modid, name = IcesMinecraftExpansion.name, version = IcesMinecraftExpansion.version)

 

public class IcesMinecraftExpansion{

 

public static CommonProxy serverproxy;

public static ClientProxy clientproxy;

@Instance(IcesMinecraftExpansion.modid)

public static IcesMinecraftExpansion modInstance;

@SidedProxy(clientSide="com.iceminecrafter.IME.proxy.ClientProxy", serverSide="com.iceminecrafter.IME.proxy.ServerProxy")

@EventHandler

public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent e){

 

 

clientproxy.registerRenderThings();

serverproxy.registerRenderThings();

serverproxy.registerTileEntities();

serverproxy.registerNetworkStuff();

 

}

You need to put @SidedProxy on a FIELD. Not a method.

And it must be ONE field, FML will then choose which proxy is used (client or server). That is the entire point of using a proxy.

[Iceminecrafter]

Your not being very helpful just saying this, HOW to i put it on a field and one field?

[diesieben07]

This is a field:

 

public static Object someField;

 

This is an annotation on a field:

 

@SomeAnnotation
public static Object someField;

[Iceminecrafter]

@SidedProxy

public static Object clientside;

 

This or no???

[diesieben07]

The field name is stupid, why would you name a field clientside? Also "Object" is hardly the right type here, even though it would theoretically work.

And you are missing the parameters for the annotation.

[Iceminecrafter]

Are you having a bad day or something? as you seem to just be wanting to do as least as possible

[Iceminecrafter]

@SidedProxy

public static ClientProxy clientside;

 

@SidedProxy

public static CommonProxy serverside;

 

Also would that work being like that?

 

[diesieben07]

You really don't understand what a proxy is, do you?

[Iceminecrafter]

A proxy being a replacement for your main registry to register specific stuff for client and server sides, so if it only is rendered on the client side, such as a mobs physical appearance, then that isnt registered in the server, as the server doesnt have the files necessary to use the class file

[diesieben07]

No, it is WAY simpler.

 

@SidedProxy tells FML to load either one class, or the other. Based on which side you are running (Dedicated Server or Client). It does that once, at startup. Once that one class is loaded, it puts it into the field that is annotated with @SidedProxy. That's all.

 

You can use that mechanism to interact with client only classes safely, but that's not the only application.

[Iceminecrafter]

Well that is the application of it I need, as that is my mods problem right now, as it is rendering my mobs on the server and client rather than just the client, causing the client to crash on load into the server

[diesieben07]

With what I just told you and basic Java knowledge you should be able to figure out how to do that.

[Iceminecrafter]

IF I was able to figure it out, after looking through lots of similar posts and questions on other forums and pages, would you have thought i would have needed to post about it myself to get the solution to the problem?!?

[jabelar]

In terms of organizing and instantiating your proxy, you might want to check out my tutorial here: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-modding-organizing-your-proxy.html

 

There is a section there about an example annotation and instantiation of the proxy.

 

In terms of your problem, if the entity rendering is only registered in your client proxy then it shouldn't be invoked on server side. In the link above I explain where I recommend you do things like registering renderers.

[Iceminecrafter]

THANK YOU! I also looked at your mob tutorial before which confused me a little, yet thanks a bunch for something comprehensible

[diesieben07]

This is so sad.

[jabelar]

This is so sad.

 

I agree that people should mostly figure things out on their own, so my "tutorials" never give full code but rather just point the direction. But the proxy concept takes a while to understand and it is one of the first things a new modder will encounter -- no point in scaring off new modders with one of the more obtuse aspects of modding.

[diesieben07]

Proxies are one of the most simplest things in Modding.

Provided you understand one of the key concepts of Java: Inheritance. But if that requirement is missing, of course you are not going to understand it. But Proxies are not the only thing that you are not going to understand.

 

Why I said this is sad is: Instead of just telling people to learn basics of java people write more and more specific tutorials that teach ONE exact thing. If we would teach people the concepts behind things we would have far less tutorial topics.
