[Solved] [1.8] Accessing Methods/Fields of another Mod

[ccsimon]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a waypoint to JourneyMap with a custom button; now, because it appears that there is no easy way of accessing a field of another mod, I would appreciate some suggestions on how I may do this (It seems like the important class is journeymap.client.waypoint.WaypointStore, but how do I access it?).

I'll be using this mod only privately, so it doesn't have to be the cleanest code.

 

Thanks for helping!

I know the mod (I translated it to German), but I don't know exactly how this should work. I could imagine, that you need to get the class as a new Object and then you can access this object.

Well, if author doesn't provide dev-source which you can use to direct-reference his classes, then your best shot is to use Reflection.

 

You will simply need to check if Mod is loaded and then use Method/Field to change stuff.

Note that you should reflect method/field once and then reuse it.

 

Google Reflection tutorial.

Well, I thought about using reflection, but I hoped for some (reflection-)integration in Forge itself; it seems like Reflection is my best bet right now.

 

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Maybe this helps you (bukkit programming, but you could adjust it):

When you want to edit the banlist of a server you can't do BanList.pardon(); because it's not static.

You have to do BanList.getBanList(Type.NAME).pardon();

Mabe in JourneyMap there is somethig like: WaypointManager.getWapoints().addWaypoint(...);
