I don't see the NBT data folder "civilization" for my mod anywhere when I open a save in NBTExplorer. Why isn't it saving?

https://github.com/deletethis-github/Civilization/blob/master/src/main/java/deletethis/civilization/event/WorldLoadEventHandler.java

I forgot to register the event

 

Edit: Only problem is, when a world is first loaded, my code is creating four town tag compounds when there should only be one, and every time I load up the world again, that amount multiplies and it's at 60 now. I think there is something seriously wrong with how I have coded this.

 

Edit: Ok...I fixed the duplication by clearing the TownManager towns ArrayList every time the world is loaded, right before I populate the list. I am still not sure if this is the best way to do this, I am not a very good programmer. Is the TownManager code supposed to be run on serverside only?

Ok, I refactored a bit and fixed my previous issues. But, my WorldSavedData is only being saved to the overworld dimension data, not to the nether or end.

 

 

Why is this happening? Each dimension is its own World class, and therefore should be getting its own WorldSavedData, right?

 

Here is the class where I load up the WorldSavedData whenever a dimension loads

 

https://github.com/deletethis-github/Civilization/blob/master/src/main/java/deletethis/civilization/event/WorldLoadEventHandler.java

If you use World.mapStorage (which you implicitly do if you use the methods directly in world) your data is global for the whole save file. It will be stored in the overworld folder but will be available to all dimensions as one instance.

 

If you use World.perWorldStorage instead there will be one instance of your data per dimension.

 

Ohhh

Perfect, thanks

Ok, I am puzzled once again.

Description of the intent of the code and the problem encountered

When a world is loaded, WorldLoadEventHandler will tell the world to load CivilizationWorldData, causing it to read relevant town NBT and create and add Town objects to its internal ArrayList<Town> towns.

 

Upon creating a new town via ItemFoundingBook, everything works properly at first. You use it once, and the Town object is created and added to the ArrayList<Town> towns. It is also saved to disk when pausing the game. You are unable to create another town of the same name, because it is already in the ArrayList<Town> towns.

 

HOWEVER, when exiting out of the world and then entering it again, it is reset back to square one. You are able to create another town of the same name again, even though it is already on disk.

 

It is as if the ArrayList<Town> towns is not being initialized up when a world loads, even though the code for doing that exists in CivilizationWorldData.readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt).

 

The code is there, why isn't it reading the NBT from the world and filling out the ArrayList<Town> towns when the world is told to load the CivilizationWorldData?

Thanks
