[1.8] [solved] Books Invalid Book Tag

[delpi 71]

I've looked around and can't find anything on how to fix this.  It worked find in 1.7.2, but something must have changed for books.

 

The book is fine except for there is nothing on the pages but "*  Invalid book tag *"

 

Here is my code

 

 

    // Create the book

    ItemStack book = new ItemStack(Items.written_book);

   

    // Create NBT data and add to the book

    NBTTagList bookPages = new NBTTagList();

    bookPages.appendTag(new NBTTagString("This mod impliments wold control functionality and some player commands"));

    bookPages.appendTag(new NBTTagString("Commands are as follows Dimension_Manager(DM), ADVENTURE/SURVIVAL/CREATIVE, LAG, SKELETONHORSE(SH), SPAWN, SUMMONPLAYER, TELEPORTTO(TPTO)"));

    bookPages.appendTag(new NBTTagString("Custom Menu Items are as follows: none"));

    bookPages.appendTag(new NBTTagString("Permissions are as follows Dimension_Manager.All - Access to all, Dimension_Manager.lag - Lists Server Performance, Dimension_Manager.SkeletalHorse - Grants player a cool horse, Dimension_Manager.spawn - Brings player to server spawn, Dimension_Manager.summon - Summon another Player, Dimension_Manager.TPTO - Teleport to another Player"));

    book.setTagInfo("pages", bookPages);

    book.setTagInfo("author", new NBTTagString("delpi"));

    book.setTagInfo("title", new NBTTagString("ClanDoolittle DimensionManager Mod Instructions"));

 

    // Give the player the book

    player.inventory.addItemStackToInventory(book);

 

 

 

Interestingly enough, if I generate a writable book, the text shows up, but then it has a quill and all that.

Try using a debugger and step through the book rendering code, somewhere it will bail out and say "invalid". Find that and find out why.

Question on the debugger.

 

Since the code is in the minecraft library, I just go in and find the render part and toggle a breakpoint?

 

A second question for folks more experienced with debugging minecraft in eclipse, when i use the breakpoint, either the client or server crashes after about 5 seconds of one or the other being frozen.  Is there a better way to do that activity?

[larsgerrits 514]

The debugger shouldn't make Minecraft crash. Can you post the crash log?

 

And yes, you can toggle a breakpoint in the vanilla jar

Yes, you have to be a bit careful since when you do a breakpoint the other thread is not being suspended (not sure if there is a way to do that automatically), so it thinks the other one is just not responding and eventually bails with a timeout.

[delpi 71]

Yeh, that exactly describes what happens. 

 

I wonder if I grab the other side and pause it, if that would fix things?  Would have to be quick.  An automated way would be easier.

 

larsgerrits - I'll grab a snapshot of the log the next time it happens.

Hmm, at least in IntelliJ if I make a breakpoint the default is "Suspend All" instead of "Suspend Thread", so that should work just fine.

[delpi 71]

That give me an idea.  I'll look up if there is a way to change the behavior of breakpoint when I get home tonight to "Suspend All".

For anyone else having trouble with the suspend in eclipse, here is a link that should help.

Found it.  They added a limitation on title length.  It has to be under 32 characters now.
