You only ever save your upgrade slots if anything.

[loordgek]

no? https://github.com/loordgek/Extragenarators/blob/master/src/main/java/loordgek/extragenarators/tile/TileGenBase.java#L50

when i put a breakpoint on markDirty(); it gets called

Because that method totally knows about your custom fields.

 

Go to that method and go look at the source behind it.  You'll find that all it does it say "hey! I need to be saved to disk!"

[loordgek]

and how do i tell the Capability that he needs to be saved ?

[Draco18s]

Lets see here...

 

When the inventory changes, you're saying "I need to be saved!"  Good.

When writeToNBT is called, you save the inventory. Good.

When readFromNBT is called, you read it back out again. Good.

When the TE needs to send a description packet to tell the client what the TE data is....you do fuck all.  Derp.

Hi

 

In general when implementing a TileEntity which saves information you need to implement at least six methods

 

The readFromNBT and the writeToNBT you do already

you also need getUpdatePacket(), getUpdateTag(), onDataPacket(), and handleUpdateTag()

  //  getUpdatePacket() and onDataPacket() are used for one-at-a-time TileEntity updates

  //  getUpdateTag() and handleUpdateTag() are used by vanilla to collate together into a single chunk update packet

 

See this example project for some clues

By the way, saving the "Capability" has nothing to do with saving your private fields (your items), as far as I can tell from your code.  You also seem to be using a number of interfaces I don't recognise, are they experimental, eg IInventoryOnwerIinv  is it really spelled "Onwer"?

 

This example project also has other examples of similar items - a small chest and a furnace - which are similar.
