Custom save data

[Yagoki]

I'm working on a warp system for my mod and need to be able to save the location, channel/frequency and dimension of all the "nodes" in the system. What I need to know is how to add this save data to the world or create a custom file to save these to. It would also be nice if this could be done in a way which the player can not mess with too easily.

You need to implement the.... IWorldSaveData interface, if I remember correctly.

 

I can't pull up the one project I used it in at the moment, so I can't be more helpful than that.

[Yagoki]

OK thanks I'll have a play around with that and see what I come up with.

Can't find anything under that name I'll carry on looking for something similar.

 

Just out of curiosity, do you know of any opensource mods on git hub or something which add save data like this? would probably speed up the process a bit.

net.minecraft.world.WorldSavedData

 

It basically only needs two functions:

 

@Override
public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound) {

}

@Override
public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound) {

}

No, I don't think that is quite right.

Questology uses it. Theirs is called QuestologyWorldData I think on their github repo.

I'm guessing I have to register this somewhere... can't find where that's done that in the questology code. I can see the class, but not how they let the game know that this needs to be included when they save the game. Sorry for being a bit slow to get all this.

Yeah, its not simple.  And I'm away from my implementation at the moment.

[Yagoki]

if you could let me know when you get back to it, that would be useful. 

 

For now i think I've found a way of doing it in my TileEntity class, but it requires at least one to be loaded for the information about the network to be remembered so it's not perfect (if one is created whilst all the others are in chunks which haven't been loaded then the information won't exist), also the method will be called in each tile entity when write/readFromNBT is called so it's not optimal.

 

[EDIT]

after a bit more googling with some stricter search terms i found this http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=8264.0 so going to have a go with it and see if it works

7+ hours from the time of this post.

 

And when I had it open last night, there wasn't much in it.
