Goal ~ Messages Outlined

[Exerosis]

We need to outline all of the messages we will need to make the server function correctly... so the message class name.... what it extends... and what fields it has... however we can start with just a list of what messages we have... As soon as this is done, other devs can create said messages.

Might sound easy, but after you take a look you will find it very difficult, remeber that some logic can be involved. For example, the MessageBlockRemoved will be a BlockRemovedPacket on PE, and for PC it will be a BlockChangePacket with the value of air.(just an example)

Protocol:
http://wiki.vg/Protocol
http://wiki.vg/Pocket_Minecraft_Protocol

wiki.vg of PE is outdated

@Exerosis that doesn't matter, leave the translations to the converters

[Exerosis]

What do you mean? Lol the converters need to be made and I promise you need
an outline. Also is there a new wiki.vg

@Exerosis the message names don't matter, name them of what they represent such as BlockPlaceMessage for placing a block.

[Exerosis]

Yea IK... but what happens when somebody does networkmodule.sendMessage(blockPlaceMessage)? obviously that need to be turned into a packet for PC and a packet for PE... IK those packets AREN"T the same... so what about the packets that PE doesn't even have? or PC doesn't even have?

That's why the request/response system is good ;)

I'm so confused... as far as IK there is ONLY one way to get info to clients :|

[alejzeis]

You still don't get it, message names do not matter! The converter checks
what instance of message it is and translates it. If there are no packets
for it, it is dropped.

WTF????? I mean what message classes will we have??

[PEMapModder]

@jython234 a message refers to a type of info, which will be converted into PE/PC protocol when being sent. Correct?
