Dynamic-Size Container

[Reika]

I have a chest whose inventory size changes depending on the variables in the TileEntity. While it runs perfectly at "open time", the container only ever gets that one chance to calculate the number of slots to draw. Trying to reload the container failed horribly (Java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBounds with Index = NaN) and I know of no way to "refresh" it, seeing as all calculations are called from the constructor. Is there a way to do what I want to do, without simply forcing the GUI to closeGui (which is annoying and impractical)?

My Container:

public ContainerScaleChest(IInventory par1IInventory, TileEntityScaleableChest par2IInventory)
{
	lowerScaleChestInventory = par2IInventory;
	chest = par2IInventory;
	size = par2IInventory.getSizeInventory();
	par2IInventory.openChest();
	this.setSlots(par1IInventory, par2IInventory);
}
private void setSlots(IInventory par1IInventory, TileEntityScaleableChest te) {
	int var3 = 0;
	int var4 = 8;
	int var5 = 18;
	int page = chest.page;
	int rowsize = size;
	if (rowsize > chest.MAXROWS*9)
		rowsize = chest.MAXROWS*9;
	if (page == chest.getMaxPage()) {
		rowsize = size-(page*9*chest.MAXROWS);
	}
	int rows = (int)Math.ceil(rowsize/9D);
	int x = 0; int y = 0;
	//ReikaJavaLibrary.pConsole(size);
	//ReikaJavaLibrary.pConsole(rowsize);
	//ReikaJavaLibrary.pConsole(page);

	for (var3 = 0; var3 < rowsize; var3++) {
		y = var5+var3/9*18; x = var4+18*(var3%9);
		//ReikaJavaLibrary.pConsole(var3+"  ->   "+x+", "+y);
		this.addSlotToContainer(new Slot(te, var3+page*9*chest.MAXROWS, x, y));
	}
	var5 = chest.MAXROWS*18+31;//rows*18+31;
	//var4 = 44+18*(rows-1);
	int k;
	for (k = 0; k < 3; ++k) {
		for (int m = 0; m < 9; ++m) {
			var3 = m+9*k;
			y = var5+k*18; x = var4+18*m;
			this.addSlotToContainer(new Slot(par1IInventory, m + k * 9 + 9, x, y));
		}
	}
	var5 += 58;
	for (k = 0; k < 9; ++k) {
		y = var5; x = var4+18*k;
		this.addSlotToContainer(new Slot(par1IInventory, k, x, y));
	}
}
public void reset(IInventory par1IInventory, TileEntityScaleableChest te) {
	//inventorySlots.clear();
	//this.func_94533_d();
	//this.setSlots(par1IInventory, te);
}

...Nothing?

My guess is client/server disparity.

My guess is client/server disparity.

Containers are only loaded server-side, so how I could get a disparity within itself is beyond me.

But the GUI is client side!

(And the tile entity is on both)

The GUI works fine. The item slots (that is, what index slots correlate to what index in inventory[]) are controlled by the Container alone.

Um...bump?

[Reika]

I really hate doing this, but I am desperate for a solution to this...

[Reika]

One last bump.

 

I would have done this earlier, but the forum page was down for two weeks...

I doubt what you're trying to do is possible. I would recommend posing your problem to Lex (i.e. suggest a Forge hook for it), but be warned of flame.

That thing is something what i want to know too.

 

Is it possible to change the container with a number inside of an tile?

 

i mean if in the tile is something like that:

 

int containermode = -1;

 

if(containermode == 0)

{

  loadContainerSize1;

}

else if(containermode == 1)

{

  loadContainerSize2;

}

else

{

loadContainerSize0;

}

 

is this possible?

Easily. Put a check in getClientGUIElement(TE).
