[1.7.10] Sending RF storage to client(gui) & sending packet from gui to server

[IvanTune]

Hello there!

 

1. So been having a lot of trouble with tileentity syncing and packets. The first thing i I am trying to do is send the RF storage from the server to the client so that the player can see in the GUI what the storage is at. It works fine on a SP world, but when I tried on a server the RF would go up to 32k, then reset itself and stay at 0, then go up to 32k and reset itself again in the gui.

 

TileEntitySolarPanel

public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {
	super.writeToNBT(nbt);
	storage.writeToNBT(nbt);
        }
public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {
	super.readFromNBT(nbt);
	storage.readFromNBT(nbt);
}

public void updateEntity() {
	if (!worldObj.isRemote) {
		if(storage.getEnergyStored() < storage.getMaxEnergyStored()) {

		int i = storage.getEnergyStored() + currentRfgeneration;

		storage.setEnergyStored(i);
	}
}
}

 

ContainerSolarPanel

private TileEntitySolarPanel solarPanel;
int lastEnergyStored;

    @Override
public void addCraftingToCrafters(ICrafting icrafting) {
	super.addCraftingToCrafters(icrafting);
	icrafting.sendProgressBarUpdate(this, 0, this.solarPanel.getEnergyStored());
}

public void detectAndSendChanges() {
	super.detectAndSendChanges();

	for (int i = 0; i < this.crafters.size(); i++) {
		ICrafting icrafting = (ICrafting) this.crafters.get(i);

		if (this.lastEnergyStored != this.solarPanel.getEnergyStored()) {
			icrafting.sendProgressBarUpdate(this, 0, this.solarPanel.getEnergyStored());
		}
	}
	this.lastEnergyStored = this.solarPanel.getEnergyStored();
}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
@Override
public void updateProgressBar(int slot, int newValue) {

	if (slot == 0) {
		this.solarPanel.setEnergyStored(newValue);
	}
}

 

 

2. Also when a player does changes to stuff in GUI (ints), i want these to be sent to the server. I'm not quite sure if I am doing packets right and I am not sure what to put in the OnMessage so that the int is sent right. I also want the int to be sent back to the client so that other people can see it, is it ok to just do it through the container?

    {
        this.tabHeight = value;
    }

    @Override

    {
        buffer.writeInt(tabHeight);
    }

    @Override

        this.tabHeight = buffer.readInt();
    }

    @Override
    public IMessage onMessage(MessageGuiSolarTab1Height message, MessageContext ctx)
    {

        	TestTab heighty = new TestTab(tabHeight);

        	heighty.tempHeightSetting = message.tabHeight;
        

        return null;
    }
}

 

NetworkHandler

public class NetworkHandler
{
    public static final SimpleNetworkWrapper INSTANCE = NetworkRegistry.INSTANCE.newSimpleChannel(Reference.CHANNEL);
    private static int id = 0;

    public static void init()
    {
        INSTANCE.registerMessage(MessageGuiSolarTab1Height.class, MessageGuiSolarTab1Height.class, id++, Side.SERVER);

    }
}

 

TestTab

@Override
public void mouseReleased(GuiSolarPanel gui, int x, int y, int button) {
	NetworkHandler.INSTANCE.sendToServer(new MessageGuiSolarTab1Height(tempHeightSetting));
	isDragging = false;
}

 

Thanks in advance for any help or tips!
