Hello, my goal is to create a mod that can protect portions of the map, something like the famous "Towny / Faction" plugin. Working daily on Android and websites have always been used to using relational databases. While here on the forge I noticed that many programmers prefer to use the internal system "WorldSavedData".

 

So I ask you that you definitely have more experience with me with the mods.

-  What is the best approach to implementing my project?
-  To save the data I use: Database; jSON; Java Sql, WorldSavedData?
-  How do I handle the Client / Server synchronization problem?

Edited October 6, 20177 yr by JdiJack

I forgot to say, I chose to use a custom GUI to modify the parameters of the various areas (see screenshot below).

I start the GUI client side, is it correct?

up

Well the first thing I'd ask is whether the areas can be represented "algorithmically" or if they need to be block by block. For example, if the GUI involves drawing rectangles to define the area then really only two points need to be saved per rectangle and I'm assuming there wouldn't be a great many overall areas.

 

In other words, if you want to save rectangular areas I don't think you need to store information for every block within that area. For rectangles I'd just create a simple class to store the two corners and then make a list of those rectangles. I would probably save it on the server side as world data with a simply serializer.

 

My next question is what exactly you mean by "protect" but assuming you mean it is not modifiable by players you can basically override/intercept all the player interaction with the blocks and cancel it if is within the areas.

 

Lastly, for syncing between client and server it may happen "automatically" if the modifiability is determined by the server. I'm not sure exactly how breaking blocks works, but several things send the user input (the mouse click) to the server that then takes the action (or in your case prevents the action) and then the results are automatically synced back to client. However, there are other things like movement where the client tries to do some processing to make it smoother and that might cause visual glitches while the server sync catches up.

 

So if you want client itself to be aware of the protected area, I would simply send a custom packet to the client whenever a player joins the world and resend any updates to all players if there is a change in the area definitions.

No, the areas are determined by the sum of the selected blocks. Areas can also be different from simple rectangles.

Exactly, but this should not be a problem for the time being.

This is the logic I had imagined myself.
The problem though is to understand how to implement the packages that the server must send to the client.

Try to explain me better:

I currently have a "Area.java" class that stores all the information about a single area:

- area name
- tenant
- taxes
- permissions
- List <BlockClaim.java>

I have two questions:
1) Can I save/load the "Area.java" class in WorldSavedData?
2a) Can I send the "Area.java" class with packages?
2b) Do you want to convert the "Area.java" class to json, and send the json through packets?

Edited October 3, 20177 yr by JdiJack

You just need to create an NBT compound that contains your data of your area class, which may be a simple as the name to identify the compound as an Area and four integers (two sets to define two corners of the rectangle). If you have NBT tag it is very easy to append to world data and also to serialize into packets. I think the byte buffer helper class has ability to write / read NBT from packet payloads and world save data is already NBT so you just add your data and it will automatically get saved and loaded (you'll still need to read it out after loading) to and from file.

1 hour ago, jabelar said:

Devi solo creare un composto NBT che contiene i tuoi dati della tua classe di zona, che può essere semplice come il nome per identificare il composto come area e quattro interi (due set per definire due angoli del rettangolo). Se hai un tag NBT, è molto facile aggiungere i dati del mondo e anche serializzarlo in pacchetti. Penso che la classe di assistente di buffer di byte abbia la capacità di scrivere / leggere NBT dai pacchetti di payload e i dati di salvataggio del mondo sono già NBT in modo da semplicemente aggiungere i tuoi dati e sarà automaticamente salvato e caricato (dovrai ancora leggerlo dopo il caricamento ) da e verso il file.

thank you, I will try to get me to work and keep you up to date on the code that I will produce

I worked a bit and I produced this code:

I want to save in my WorldSavedData class "AreeData" the result of this method

How can I do?
 

 

Edited October 4, 20177 yr by JdiJack

Well one thing I think you're missing is the coordinates of the area itself.

 

I would have four double fields (or have a "rectangle" class) with four double fields that represent x1, z1, x2, z2 in the world. I would then have setter and getter methods for those points. In the write to NBT, I would write the four double values and in the read from NBT I would read the four double values.

 

Also, you should look at the official forge documentation for worldsavedata https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/datastorage/worldsaveddata/.

 

Why doubles? Why not integers or longs?

It can be whatever, but it represents locations in the world (block pos) which I think are often manipulated as double. But certainly you can convert.

Beh, una cosa che penso di essere mancante è la coordinazione dell'area stessa.

 

Avrei quattro campi doppio (o avere una classe "rettangolo") con quattro doppie campi che rappresentano x1, z1, x2, z2 nel mondo. Avrei poi metodi setter e getter per questi punti. Nella scrittura a NBT scrivo i quattro valori duplici e nella lettura da NBT leggerei i quattro valori doppie.

 

Inoltre, è necessario esaminare la documentazione ufficiale di forge per worldsavedata  https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/datastorage/worldsaveddata/ .

 

As I said before, the areas I want to get must NOT be rectangles, but they can take any shape, so I need to track every block.

Please pay attention to this aspect and help me instead of the code I have extended. I have read the documentation https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/datastorage/worldsaveddata/ several times.

My question is:
1) Is my code correct?
2) how do i save my ntb in worldsavedata class?

First of all, we can't really tell if your code is correct. That is up to you. The general approach looks correct but you have to verify the details. Have you tried to run the code? Did it work?

 

If you read the documentation it already explains how the saving works. It happens automatically as part of extending the world data class and using the setData() method.

 

To test your code you simply need to add console statements to follow the execution. If you put console statements in the right places you will be able to easily determine whether the code runs, when it runs, and the value of any key fields during the execution.

Although I have not yet understood how to pass and assign the result of "getNBTListAree ()" to "writeToNBT (NBTTagCompound nbt)"

 

Edited October 5, 20177 yr by JdiJack

You use the tag compound's setTag() method to add other NBTBase objects, including NBTList to the compound. So in your case if you take the NBTCompound (like the world data compound or you can create a new NBTTagCompound depending on what exactly you're doing at the time.) and go setTag("area_claim_list", getNBTListArea()) it should add it to the compound.

Edited October 5, 20177 yr by jabelar

I think I'm close to the solution, the problem is that the "readFromNBT" and "writeToNBT" methods are never called, although I call "markDirty ()".

Class Code "WorldSavedData":

Spoiler

public class AreeData extends WorldSavedData{
	
	private static final String DATA_NAME = Reference.MODID + "_data_aree";
	private NBTTagCompound nbt_message = new NBTTagCompound();

		super(DATA_NAME);
	}

	public AreeData(String data_name) {
		super(data_name);
	}

	//load
	@Override
	public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {
		//nbt_message = nbt;
		nbt_message = nbt.getCompoundTag(DATA_NAME);
	}

	//save
	@Override
	public NBTTagCompound writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbt) {	
		nbt.setTag(DATA_NAME, nbt_message);
		//return nbt_message;

	}
	
	public void salvaCambiamenti(){

		if (instance == null) {
			instance = new AreeData();
			storage.setData(DATA_NAME, instance);

	}

}

 

 

another class code to save a new NTB:

area_data.setNBT(message_inviato.nbt_message);

up

Okay, I was playing with this a bit, coding it my own way and I have a few tips and suggestions.

 

First of all, the world saved data class should also contain the fields that you're interested in changing. Those fields can in fact be simply a list of instances of another class, but the point is that you should be doing the converting between NBT read from file and the class field values.

 

So the way I would do it is that the world saved data class will contain a list of the protected area instances. But the world saved data class should also be used to set the data in those area instances because you need to know when they change to markDirty() properly.

 

Furthermore you have to develop the writeToNBT() and readFromNBT() methods. They should basically use tag lists to hold the list of areas which in turn hold the list of blocks within the area.

 

So for example, here is my protected area class example (note that I only stored name and list of block positions, in your code you should add other things like tenant, taxes and such):

 

public class ProtectedArea 
{
	private String name;
	private List<BlockPos> listBlocks = new ArrayList<BlockPos>();

	/**
	 * Instantiates a new protected area.
	 *
	 * @param parName the par name
	 */
	public ProtectedArea(String parName)
	{
		name = parName;
	}
	
	/**
	 * Gets the name.
	 *
	 * @return the name
	 */
	public String getName() { return name; }
	
	/**
	 * Adds the block position to the protected blocks list.
	 *
	 * @param parPos the par pos
	 */
	public void addBlock(BlockPos parPos)
	{
		listBlocks.add(parPos);
	}
	
	/**
	 * Removes the block position from the protected blocks list.
	 *
	 * @param parPos the par pos
	 */
	public void removeBlock(BlockPos parPos)
	{
		listBlocks.remove(parPos);
	}
	
	/**
	 * Clears the protected blocks.
	 */
	public void clearBlocks()
	{
		listBlocks.clear();
	}
	
	/**
	 * Gets the protected block list.
	 *
	 * @return the protected block list
	 */
	public List<BlockPos> getProtectedBlockList() { return listBlocks; }
	
	/**
	 * Gets the block list tag.
	 *
	 * @return the block list tag
	 */
	public NBTTagList getBlockListTag()
	{
		NBTTagList tagList = new NBTTagList();
		Iterator<BlockPos> iterator = listBlocks.iterator();
		while (iterator.hasNext())
		{
			BlockPos pos = iterator.next();
			NBTTagCompound posCompound = new NBTTagCompound();
			posCompound.setInteger("x", pos.getX());
			posCompound.setInteger("y", pos.getY());
			posCompound.setInteger("z", pos.getZ());
			tagList.appendTag(posCompound);
		}
		return tagList;
	}
}

 

And my example of the class that extends WorldSavedData is:

 

public class ProtectedAreaData extends WorldSavedData
{
	private static final String DATA_NAME = MainMod.MODID + "_data_aree";
	private List<ProtectedArea>  listAreas = new ArrayList<ProtectedArea>();

	public ProtectedAreaData(String name) 
	{
		super(name);
	}
	
	/**
	 * Gets the world saved data instance associated to a given world.
	 *
	 * @param world the world
	 * @return the data instance
	 */
	public static ProtectedAreaData getDataInstance(World world) 
	{
		MapStorage storage = world.getMapStorage();
		ProtectedAreaData instance = (ProtectedAreaData) storage.getOrLoadData(ProtectedAreaData.class, DATA_NAME);
		if (instance == null) {
			instance = new ProtectedAreaData();
			storage.setData(DATA_NAME, instance);
		}
		return instance;
	}
	
	/**
	 * Adds the area to the list of protected areas.
	 *

	public void addArea(ProtectedArea parArea)
	{

		markDirty();
	}
	
	/**

	 *
	 * @param parArea the par area
	 */
	public void removeArea(ProtectedArea parArea)
	{
		listAreas.remove(parArea);
		markDirty();
	}
	
	/**
	 * Clear the protected areas list.
	 */
	public void clearAreas()
	{
		listAreas.clear();
		markDirty();
	}
	
	/**

	 *

		while (iterator.hasNext())

NOTE: I have not tested this code yet. But I think the general approach should work well. It is very similar to the world data implemented for the ItemMap.

 

Now, when the player is changing things in your GUI you can use the methods to add the blocks and such as you need.

 

In summary, I think you need to have the informations in fields that are in the world save data class and you should furthermore implement the writeToNBT() and readFromNBT() to suit the information you want to save.

 

For syncing the client, you will have to send the world data yourself as a custom packet. The good news is that the minecraft packet can accept NBT directly as a payload.

 

I hope that helps. I need to go to be as it is past midnight ...

Okay, stavo giocando con questo un po ', codificandolo a modo mio e ho qualche suggerimento e suggerimenti.

 

Innanzitutto, la classe di dati salvata nel mondo dovrebbe contenere anche i campi che ti interessa cambiare. Questi campi possono infatti essere semplicemente un elenco di istanze di un'altra classe, ma il punto è che si dovrebbe fare la conversione tra NBT leggere da file e valori di campo di classe.

 

Quindi il modo in cui farò è che la classe di dati salvata nel mondo contenga un elenco delle istanze dell'area protetta. Ma la classe di dati salvata in tutto il mondo dovrebbe essere utilizzata anche per impostare i dati nelle istanze di zona in quanto è necessario sapere quando cambiano correttamente in markDirty ().

 

Inoltre, è necessario sviluppare i metodi writeToNBT () e readFromNBT () . Dovrebbero fondamentalmente utilizzare elenchi di tag per tenere l'elenco di aree che a sua volta tenere l'elenco di blocchi all'interno della zona.

 

Quindi, ad esempio, qui è l'esempio della mia categoria di aree protette (noti che ho solo memorizzato il nome e l'elenco di posizioni di blocco, nel tuo codice dovresti aggiungere altre cose come inquilino, tasse e simili):

 

public class ProtectedArea 
{
	private String name;
	private List<BlockPos> listBlocks = new ArrayList<BlockPos>();

	/**
	 * Instantiates a new protected area.
	 *
	 * @param parName the par name
	 */
	public ProtectedArea(String parName)
	{
		name = parName;
	}
	
	/**
	 * Gets the name.
	 *
	 * @return the name
	 */
	public String getName() { return name; }
	
	/**
	 * Adds the block position to the protected blocks list.
	 *
	 * @param parPos the par pos
	 */
	public void addBlock(BlockPos parPos)
	{
		listBlocks.add(parPos);
	}
	
	/**
	 * Removes the block position from the protected blocks list.
	 *
	 * @param parPos the par pos
	 */
	public void removeBlock(BlockPos parPos)
	{
		listBlocks.remove(parPos);
	}
	
	/**
	 * Clears the protected blocks.
	 */
	public void clearBlocks()
	{
		listBlocks.clear();
	}
	
	/**
	 * Gets the protected block list.
	 *
	 * @return the protected block list
	 */
	public List<BlockPos> getProtectedBlockList() { return listBlocks; }
	
	/**
	 * Gets the block list tag.
	 *
	 * @return the block list tag
	 */
	public NBTTagList getBlockListTag()
	{
		NBTTagList tagList = new NBTTagList();
		Iterator<BlockPos> iterator = listBlocks.iterator();
		while (iterator.hasNext())
		{
			BlockPos pos = iterator.next();
			NBTTagCompound posCompound = new NBTTagCompound();
			posCompound
		
		
	

 

E il mio esempio della classe che estende WorldSavedData è:

 

public class ProtectedAreaData extends WorldSavedData
{
	private static final String DATA_NAME = MainMod.MODID + "_data_aree";
	private List<ProtectedArea>  listAreas = new ArrayList<ProtectedArea>();
	
	/**
	 * Instantiates a new protected area data.
	 */
	public ProtectedAreaData() 
	{
		super(DATA_NAME);
	}

	/**
	 * Instantiates a new protected area data.
	 *
	 * @param name the name
	 */
	public ProtectedAreaData(String name) 
	{
		super(name);
	}
	
	/**
	 * Gets the world saved data instance associated to a given world.
	 *
	 * @param world the world
	 * @return the data instance
	 */
	public static ProtectedAreaData getDataInstance(World world) 
	{
		MapStorage storage = world.getMapStorage();
		ProtectedAreaData instance = (ProtectedAreaData) storage.getOrLoadData(ProtectedAreaData.class, DATA_NAME);
		if (instance == null) {
			instance = new ProtectedAreaData();
			storage.setData(DATA_NAME, instance);
		}
		return instance;
	}
	
	/**
	 * Adds the area to the list of protected areas.
	 *
	 * @param parArea the par area
	 */
	public void addArea(ProtectedArea parArea)
	{
		listAreas.add(parArea);
		markDirty();
	}
	
	/**
	 * Removes the area from the list of protected areas.
	 *
	 * @param parArea the par area
	 */
	public void removeArea(ProtectedArea parArea)
	{
		listAreas.remove(parArea);
		markDirty();
	}
	
	/**

	 */
	public void clearAreas()
	{
		listAreas.clear();
		markDirty();
	}
	
	/**

	 *
	 * @param parName the par name

	@Nullable
	public ProtectedArea getAreaByName(String parName)
	{
		Iterator<ProtectedArea> iterator = listAreas.iterator();
		while (iterator.hasNext())

			ProtectedArea area = iterator.next();

NOTA: non ho ancora provato questo codice. Ma penso che l'approccio generale dovrebbe funzionare bene. È molto simile ai dati del mondo implementati per l'ItemMap.

 

Ora, quando il giocatore sta cambiando le cose nella tua GUI, puoi utilizzare i metodi per aggiungere i blocchi e come hai bisogno.

 

In sintesi, penso che devi avere informazioni in campi che sono al mondo salvare la classe di dati e si dovrebbe inoltre implementare writeToNBT () e readFromNBT () per adattarsi alle informazioni che si desidera salvare.

 

Per la sincronizzazione del client, dovrai inviare i dati del mondo come un pacchetto personalizzato. La buona notizia è che il pacchetto miniera può accettare NBT direttamente come un payload.

 

Spero che aiuti. Devo andare per essere come è passato la mezzanotte ...

 

 

Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it very much.
Conceptually your work is perfect, but my problem is another one.
I can not call the "writeToNBT ()" and "readFromNBT ()" methods. I will probably abandon WorldSaveData and implement a system that stores NTBCompaund directly on Disk

Why not?

I do not know. I can not run the code inside them. Even though I call "markDirty ();"

I've implemented a simple class like this and I can not get it running. I'm desperate are 7 days trying to run WorldSaveData, I'm tired

You should never need to call those functions. You should just need to markDirty(). If you look in my example, the whole point is that all the methods that can change data also do the markDirty().

 

You need to have the data in (or directly accessible from) the class that extends WorldSaveData, and then you should only change the data through that class -- you'll notice that I have methods in my data class that are used to access the data within the contained area classes -- you should not change the area information directly.

 

So, as long as: 

1) your world data is properly appended to the vanilla world data with the set method

2) you only change data through the world data class

3) you mark dirty every time there is a change.

 

Then you should be good.

 

Once you have that working, the next topic is to sync to client!
