[1.7.10] How to send a message to server during ClientConnectedToServerEvent

[EAirPeter]

I want to send some information just after the handshake completed(handling ClientConnectedToServerEvent), and the mod on server side will check the information and do something.

The problem is, the server never receives the message sent during ClientConnectedToServerEvent.

The code is shown below:

	@SubscribeEvent
	public void onClientConnectedToServer(ClientConnectedToServerEvent event) {
		if (event.connectionType.equals("MODDED")) {
			FMLLog.info("send to server");
			LIUtils.netHandler.sendToServer(message());
		}
	}

Actually, I get my FMLLog:

However, it just doesn't receive the message i want....

It would be appreciated if someone can help me, thanks!

1. Did you register msg?

2. If yes, server might not have constructed EntityPlayer for you at time of sending, but I don't remember - try using EntityCOnstruction event to check that.

[EAirPeter]

Yes.

 

But i don't very understand the relationship between EntityPlayer and SimpleNetworkWrapper...

I supposed..when ClientConnectedToServerEvent is fired, the SimpleNetworkWrapper in LIUtils is ready.

 

The netHandler is created like this:

public static SimpleNetworkWrapper netHandler = NetworkRegistry.INSTANCE.newSimpleChannel("LIUtils");

Checked on my own, indeed - communication seems to be impossible before:

[server thread/INFO] [FML]: [server thread] Server side modded connection established

...occurs.

You will probably have to send data elsewhere.

 

Edit:

I'd go with:

1. ServerRequest in PlayerLoggedInEvent

2. Client receives request and sends data.

The log shown in #1 indicates, "send to server" is after "[server thread] Server side modded connection established".

However... The server doesn't receive that packet.

 

And, your solution means i have to give up sending message just after handshaking?

It would be appreciated if i can send that as early as possible...

 

 

 

By the way, I have tried this way:

1. Handle ClientConnectedToServer, and wait for 60ticks (of course, by tickcount and handling ClientTickEvent)

2. Send the packet

3. So, server does receive the packet....

 

But.... " It would be appreciated if i can send that as early as possible..."

I mean... just after handshaking, or some way to inject the handshaking procedure?

 

Thanks for everyone's help...

[EAirPeter]

Why do you need to send things so early?

er... Just do some check, make sure client and server have same script file(a part of mod, but be allowed to be modified by any text editor)

If they mismatched, the player would be kicked
