Hello everyone, thank you for reading. I am having a bit of a dilemma with sending a data packet nine times each containing a different string to sync information on the gui textboxes in the gui on the client to the tileentities on the client and the server. The client side works fine and everything is dandy but nothing is being received on the server side I believe. any help will be appreciated!

Tile Entity Class

Handler Class

How I register the channel?

How I register the packet?

After some looking, I found that  the tile entity calls for an S35PacketUpdateTileEntity and Im giving it my custom package (PacketCPU) so is that the problem and is there any way to convert it or am I sending the wrong form of data? Thanks!

The 

Side

passed to 

SimpleNetworkWrapper#registerMessage

is the side that receives and handles the packet, not the side that sends it. A client-to-server message should be registered with 

Side.SERVER

.

 

S35PacketUpdateTileEntity

is usually returned from 

TileEntity#getDescriptionPacket

to sync data from the server to the clients in the area surrounding the 

TileEntity

. The client-side handler for this packet calls 

TileEntity#onDataPacket

. This can't be used to send values from the client to the server.

So does this mean that I cannot send data from client to server period or just not over this type of channel, and also, if those methods cannot send data from client to the server, then what ones do I use? i can find next to nothing on this...

 

 

I also have a container class that i'm opening on the server side through the GUI handler. If that has to do with anything id like to know, thanks.

Any 

IMessage

sent through 

SimpleNetworkWrapper

can be either client-to-server or server-to-client. You just need to register the message using the receiving 

Side

rather than the sending 

Side

.

 

The main purpose of a 

Container

is to sync inventory contents between the server and client, but you can also use 

ICrafting#sendProgressBarUpdate

to send two 

int

s to the client-side 

Container

(this calls 

Container#updateProgressBar

on the client side). 

Container

doesn't provide any way of sending other types of data or client-to-server data, you need to use your own packets (

IMessage

s) for that.

 

This tutorial explains 

SimpleNetworkWrapper

in more detail.

      updateShape functionality deep dive

      By Sandermall · Posted

      Hello all. I'm currently grappling with the updateShape method in a custom class extending Block.  My code currently looks like this: The conditionals in CheckState are there to switch blockstate properties, which is working fine, as it functions correctly every time in getStateForPlacement.  The problem I'm running into is that when I update a state, the blocks seem to call CheckState with the position of the block which was changed updated last.  If I build a wall I can see the same change propagate across. My question thus is this: is updateShape sending its return to the neighbouring block?  Is each block not independently executing the updateShape method, thus inserting its own current position?  The first statement appears to be true, and the second false (each block is not independently executing the method). I have tried to fix this by saving the block's own position to a variable myPos at inception, and then feeding this in as CheckState(myPos) but this causes a worse outcome, where all blocks take the update of the first modified block, rather than just their neighbour.  This raises more questions than it answers, obviously: how is a different instance's variable propagating here?  I also tried changing it so that CheckState did not take a BlockPos, but had myPos built into the body - same problem. I have previously looked at neighbourUpdate and onNeighbourUpdate, but could not find a way to get this to work at all.  One post on here about updatePostPlacement and other methods has proven itself long superceded.  All other sources on the net seem to be out of date. Many thanks in advance for any help you might offer me, it's been several days now of trying to get this work and several weeks of generally trying to get round this roadblock.  - Sandermall

      sorry, I might be stupid, but how do I open it? because the only options I have are too X out, copy it, which doesn't work and send crash report, which doesn't show it to me, also, sorry for taking so long.
