NBT help

[vtsman]

I'm not very good with nbt tags, so can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to make my tile entity to store some values a liquid stack and an ItemStack. For testing reasons, I've omitted the liquidstack and itemstack.

Here's the nbt stuff

 

@Override

public void readFromNBT(NBTTagCompound data)

    {

        super.readFromNBT(data);

        this.setType(data.getString("Type"), data.getInteger("Radius"), data.getInteger("Capacity"));

    }

 

@Override

public void writeToNBT(NBTTagCompound data) {

super.writeToNBT(data);

data.setDouble("energy", this.energy);

 

 

data.setString("Type", this.type.getType());

data.setInteger("Radius", this.type.getRange());

data.setInteger("Capacity", this.type.getCapacity());

}

What error are you getting?

[vtsman]

It's just not saving or loading, no error.

It's just not saving or loading, no error.

 

It's because of a client-server disparity.

 

You need to send a datapacket to all players with the information.

Try adding something like this in your write to NBT data and wherever else you try to set NBT.

if (stack.stackTagCompound == null)
{
stack.setTagCompound(new NBTTagCompound());

//insert NBT set thingies here
}

 

I know I had trouble whenever the stackTagCompound equaled null and I tried to read it the game would crash. I'm not sure if that's your problem, but it's worth a shot.

game would crash

 

He is not having that problem and I know it is an unhelpful suggestion as the problem he is actually having I've dealt with before.  The client can't load the data values from the save (because it's a client) but the server isn't sending the info because he hasn't told it to.

So how exactly would you tell the server to send the info?

send packet? make PacketHandler and PacketTypeHandler.If you dont know how to make them,then go to EE GitHub and take them from it

[Yagoki]

it's even simpler than that, in my code i just do this:

@Override
public void onDataPacket(INetworkManager net, Packet132TileEntityData pkt)
{
	NBTTagCompound tag = pkt.customParam1;
	this.readFromNBT(tag);
}

@Override
public Packet getDescriptionPacket()
{
	NBTTagCompound tag = new NBTTagCompound();
	this.writeToNBT(tag);
	return new Packet132TileEntityData(xCoord, yCoord, zCoord, 0, tag);
}

 

just put that into your TileEntity class, this gets called every time the block is marked for an update and automatically passes it from the server to the client.
