[1.8] [Solved] Packet Issue

[delpi]

I followed a combo of these two tutorials and some general reading, plus previous experience.

I'm pretty stumped right now.  Any Help would be appreciated.

 

I'm getting a crash in the SimpleNetworkWrapper.  Log isn't much help on this one but i traced the error in debug to the following spoiler section.  I'm going to admit I don't get what that section of code does 100%.  however, it fails when it gets to the "return handler.newInstance();" portion.  If i check the newInstance and try to go to it in Eclipse, I get "Source not Found".  I'm using 1.7.  Can see all other source, not sure what the issue is with that.  Perhaps I'm missing something in the setup?

I tried commenting out the first line in "registerMessage" just to make sure the side didn't make a difference.  It didn't.

 

Faction_List (this is the first one and the one it fails on)

[Failender]

show the crash please^^

 

EDIT: Dont register the packets on both sides. Only register the packet on the site that is meant to receive it

[delpi]

I tried that, made no difference.  Besides in a conversation between diesieben07 and coolAlias it was clearly stated that you could.  Dany's example shows it as well. 

 

Here is the crash log

As mentioned, it doesn't show much of use.

[Failender]

ur handler needs to be static if its nested inside another class or forge cant instatiate it

[delpi]

That did it.  Thanks.

 

Would you mind explaining to me why Minecraft can't handle it without it being static?

[Failender]

that has nothing to do wiht minecraft, its general java. if u have a nested class u need an instance of the nesting class to instatiate it (except of its static)

[delpi]

I haven't played much with nested classes.

 

So if it wasn't nested, then i wouldn't have the issue?

[Failender]

Thats where static comes into play. It means that every instance is sharing this attribute (in this case the class), which means that u can access it without instance, because its the same for every instance

[delpi]

Ah, got it now.  Thanks.  I've always been a bit confused by static references but now its clear. 

[Failender]

you are welcome
