from there i have the gui handler and everything which in the ide works but again after build not.....

i also tested to output stuff to console and to chat but it seems that the chat event is not working at all after build....

 

any help is much appriciated

i dont know anything about packets.... im not using a server at all so no proxys and no anything...  i just want some code to fire when the client gets a chat message and supply that with the full message itself....

im not using a server! this is a client mod! there are no proxies at all..

ITS A MOD THAT WORKS ONLY ON A CLIENT AND JOINS A SERVER!@!!!$!@$#@@#$#!@!  UGGGGGHHH!@#!!!!@#$@!

THE SERVER SENDS A CHAT TO THE CLIENT!

OMG  there is a server that is spigot not owned by me and its sending a message to the client a message whenever it passes a checkpoint! im rendering the checkpoint on screen! and it does not communicate with me in any way other than chat!

no packets! no forge on the server! only a simple client mod that i get angry for no reason!

I have no clue what is wrong but:

 

1. Mark your mod client only (Look insice @Mod annotation).

2. "Doesn't work" - you mean event is not called or it doesn't pass some if statement? Please place print inside event, export it and look into MC logs.

instead of doing it via chat messages...

 

I think it's some kind of "game" that could be built out of even just command blocks.  All this fellow is trying to do is render the chat-context information as a HUD element rather than as chat messages.

 

That is: the game can be played without the mod he's writing and the "Checkpoint Reached!" is just a chat message sent by whatever operates the game to the player so that player has some sort of feedback. He's just trying to fancy it up some.

 

Admittedly I would still rebuild the system from the bottom up and use packets, but whatever.

 

Also, Ernio, that is a fantastic image.

1. Mark your mod client only (Look insice @Mod annotation).

id look more into the mod annotation now.. i think it may actually be the thing that messes it..

 

The issue is most likely that your encoding is messed up. Use UTF-8 everywhere.

Also, this is a horrible way to do it. The server plugin should communicate with your mod directly, instead of doing it via chat messages...

again i dont own the server and i have no clue why i need to mess with just saying UTF-8

Thank you so much! finnally someone who gets what im doing

Because if you are not using a unicode encoding like UTF-8 everywhere characters like "§" will not survive properly.

I am still saying this is a horrible way to do it. If you want to do it the proper way would be to ask the server owner to expose an API.

i still dont understand this, do you say the .contains are not passing because im using the § signs?

also all im getting is a chat message and all i want is to display its data.. i dont want anything to do with the server's code... its an early stages server not made by me..

You are using § in your IDE, yes. At some point during the compilation there is an encoding being used that cannot represent §, so it gets lost. That's why you need to use UTF-8 (or another unicode encoding, but UTF-8 is the most popular).

well what if i dont at all use color checks?

what if before ill just do:

for(int j=1; j<originalMessage.length(); j++){
            if(originalMessage.charAt(j) != '§'){
                chars1.add(originalMessage.charAt(j));
            }else{
                j++;
            }
        }
        String message = "";
        for (int z = 0; z < chars1.size(); z++) {
            message = message + chars1.get(z);
        }

and use the messages without the § sign?

then when i check, ill check for "clean chat"?

if(message.contains("Elytra Racing | Objective: Get to the end of the course before everyone else!")){ //race starting

i think this actually might work... im testing it now.. thanks for the information about the builder not understanding §

That is a horrible way to fix it.

The way to fix it, is to set your encoding properly. Not do this horrible horrible workaround.

i do not know even how to start using UTF-8 i never used it.... do i just need to add some \ with some code? i do not know.. please tellme how do i use it to do § signs
