Hey!

So I'm struggling with one of my tile entities, which does save and write NBT-data, but on world reload or when exiting an then joining again the NBT-tags are overridden by the te and only then read. I know my code is super-messy right now and I am going to compact it when all kinks are worked out, but for the sake of my sanity while debugging I tried to write it in a way I understand it better in case of any problems.

There isnt anything helpful in the log as far as I know. The te is registered correctly and does practically write/save; just not in the right order.

 

Second problem is with the same te's tile entity renderer in which I try to render the items in the te, depending on how many slots are used. I wanted to render the te's items rotating around the block using sine and cosine functions and it does work for 2 items, however once a third one comes into play instead of the sine translating by a third of a revolution or two-thirds of a revolution this happens:

This is how it looks (and how its supposed to look) in the case of 1/2 items:

Extremely messy main class:

Block class:

https://github.com/ModernPatriotCode/Modern-Industry/blob/master/src/main/java/modepat/modernindustry/blocks/BlockGearBox.java

Tile Entity class:

TER class (yes, its compactable by a lot, because of current debugging i expanded it as much as possible):

https://github.com/ModernPatriotCode/Modern-Industry/blob/master/src/main/java/modepat/modernindustry/tileentities/ter/RendererGearBox.java

 

Container class (currently fairly unused):

Don't use GL11. Use the GLStateManager. Also consider de-duplicating all that code, you've got the same code 17 times. When your debugging, the first thing that you should do is isolate the issue. If you're repeating the same code many times and have a mistake in one of them, it becomes very hard to track down the issue.

Don't use TileEntityLockable or ISidedInventory. Do not use IInventory at all, Forge's ItemStackHandlers replace it entirely.

Tamed the TER code:

Problem persists but a bit differently. It doesnt render the third item anymore, it just renders the first, one rotating clockwise and the other counterclockwise.

Heres a picture:

(Edit:) Did not have enough time to change the te's code, will do.

(Edit^2:) Changed the te's code, issues still the same:

I’m not sure if this is exactly what you want, but this code renders items rotated around a point (clean up the code before using it if you decide to use it) https://github.com/Cadiboo/WIPTech/blob/2d7e3f1073ed5602944e35daccf18ced8ff4f40a/src/main/java/cadiboo/wiptech/client/render/tileentity/TESRAssemblyTable.java#L44-L55
