Gun Boxes
jamioflan opened this issue · 25 comments
Gun box client-server communication needs to be set up. Some packet classes have been made but need filling in.
Before doing this, I recommend we compress the gunbox blocks into a single Block and TileEntity setup to save on IDs.
hmmm I don't think thats necessary. There is a small chance that we need a separate TileEntity for each type of gunbox, but I really don't think thats necessary.
here is what I propose.
1 gunbox block. We use metadata to decide what type. And we display a separate gui depending on the metadata. No TE required at all I think...
I agree. Everything is achievable it metadata!

I can help with metadata and tile entities, that's where I excel. Just tell me what to do.
I am a self-proclaimed master of Blocks :) The SecretRoomsMod wasn't a fluke :P
im not to great at gui's though...
I suck at GUI or graphics in general. Did you make secret rooms mod?

lol aidan.. and I felt bad cuz you did all the work over the summer :P
lol ok.. so here is the story of my life XP
I like programming. I programmed Flansmod.. for the past two weeks, because atm, I have nothing else to program. Also because that when I start something, I don't feel complete till ive finished it to a certain point. Anyways.. Ive mostly finished what I was working on with Flans mod.. and am too lazy to start the annoying next part. So expect me to disappear from this project for a few weeks, while my mind wastes away playing my steadily growing collection of unplayed games. XP
LOL, im not doing it to make you guys feel bad XD I was actually trying to resolve all the errors I caused with my work. compile errors atleast. anyways, its all yours now :P
Main reason I want to do the gun boxes is because AbrarSyed is doing too much work, and it's getting on my nerves. It's almost as if he intentionally does all the work so me, Daniel, and cebarks feel bad :)
Just kidding, but I'd love to pitch in.

You are the total opposite of me. I have trouble finishing a things. But I've gotten better with programming.

Oh god, I didn't mean it that way. You're awesome Abrar, I was just fooling around because you've been such a great help here with updating. I look up to you, and I'll let you handle me :)

Guys, we can't do metadata because that only gives 16 types of Gun Box and if people change their packs around, the IDs will change.
We need a TileEntity which stores the shortName of the GunBoxType
Damn he's right!

ahhh good point. i thought we only had to deal with 3, the country ones. TE it is.
Can someone explain tile entities to me?

But the current GunBoxes do not use metadata and I have working the guis for each one. I still don't understand the need of the TE.
well.. how else are you gonna differrentiate between the types of gunboxes? unless we have a one-box-for-all method... and all gunboxes reload everyone.. and everything...
Add it to a hash map based on its block Id......

but then we waste lots of blocksIDs. when it would be a little easier, in my opinion, to just use a single BlockID for ALL potential types of gunboxes. And frankly... saves RAM as well...
He's right :/

What about use 16 gun boxes per blockid that would save ids ;)

or we could just do 1 BlockID. for an infinite number of boxes. and a TileEntity :)
How is one id for unlimited blocks possible???
