[HELP]Why do I get errors when I change the Mainmenu screen name

[pixelzee]

Why do I get errors when I change the Mainmenu name "Mutliplayer" to "Play"?

 

From

 

 this.controlList.add(this.PlayButton = new GuiButton(2, this.width / 2 - 100, var4 + 24, var2.translateKey("menu.multiplayer"))); 

 

To

 

 this.controlList.add(this.PlayButton = new GuiButton(2, this.width / 2 - 100, var4 + 24, var2.translateKey("Play"))); 

 

Errors

Firstly, there are no changes between your From and To codes. - You fixed that.

Secondly, what are you doing that makes you want to change the button anyways?

[Cutter]

perhaps you should look at the .translateKey method and make sure its not generating an actual key from the string. other than that, some piece of code must be looking specifically for the name that mojang placed in there since its being added to a list.

Me and a friend are making a multiplayer only game, so players could only connect to a servers, and we had an idea to have 1000s of people on one server at a time, i.e a mmorpg mod

 

 

Also im new to coding in java so my friend is doing all the complicated stuff, what do you mean "to" and "from" codes?

[Zero]

I meant the code you were changing from, and what you were changing it to in your main post... They were identical at first.

 

Also, if nobody replies before your next post, it's best to modify your previous post instead of double posting. It tends to annoy people around just about any forums site, and may end up earning you a slap on the wrist. Just letting you know for future reference.

you will also be infringing on a looooooooot of stuff if you do this and could get sued. the only reason mods are allowed to exist in the first place is because they do not release many of the base classes in the mods.

surely if those base classes are changed to a large scale then those classes are not made by mojang?

hah. take a look at the current front page of the minecraftforum.com. mojang are being sued by a company over software infringement for the exact same thinking, except mojang more than likely developed the whole thing from the start rather than copy pasting classes like you are.

The reason people sue is because Mojang is a big opponent, if i was to copy some of his code to create a mod for minecraft why would mojang sue me if the mod would increase sales and is a free way advertising?  I'm not planning of earning money since I own a media server and it is nearly all run of renewable power

well the way you put it to me is that your completely overwriting minecraft. and you do know about patch 1.3, which makes the game essentially multiplayer only right?

nope the basics of minecraft will still be there, it will be essentially like minez but a whole lot bigger, and yes I do , just wondering has the release date of 1.3 been announced?

Yes, it's scheduled for August 1st.

Also, this thread has gone way off topic in the last few minutes...

actually, what we have been talking about could well have been a solution to his problem as it would mean he would no longer have to do what he started the thread about.

do any of you guys know how to make a GUI?
