I dont really understand why you are insulting what I do for work, but anyways... Thanks for the advice! Really appreciate it, I'll try this out later and report back if it works.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses Yes I have tried this. While I can run the commands from the USB and run the actual workspace from it, it usually ends up preforming poorly and taking a long time to build. Also some of the kids dont have their own USBs, so they borrow mine, so I can't have just 1 kid using my USB since I need it for other kids/things. Also, the way to automated Gradlew app we use works is the documents folder is pretty much hard coded in, so this would also add other complications. However, I will try this probably tomorrow and see if manually building the app on a flash drive is workable for some of the kids. Thanks for the advice! Just as I thought. However, my problem is that recently, when I have been running the gradlew setupDecompWorkspace eclipse command, I'm still getting the same "Missing .project for Minecraft" error. I used to do this as a solution, but it seems to have stopped working. That point may have been unclear in my original post. As far as Git goes, that isn't really possible for us. For one, we teach classes called workshops, which are usually about an hour long and teach some programming concept via Minecraft mods (like what inheritance is by making a custom block for example), so just logistically, having to have kids create/use a Git repo is too much of a burden for a single workshop. Also, not every kid has an email address, and we can't help them make one (parent/privacy issue). And honestly, its much too complicated a solution to fix the problem im having, as Git repos would add more of a headache for us than simply doing the temporary solution I've been using. However, I may pursue Git hub for some of the more advanced/older kids. Maybe turn it into a workshop or something. Thanks for the idea. So anyways, just to make it clear, I have been trying to run the gradlew setupDecompWorkspace eclipse command to fix my forge projects, but this has not been working.

My problem is, when moving a forge folder from a USB to a computer, and opening in eclipse, I get a missing.project for Minecraft error and all the code/assets of the Mod are unavailable. A little backstory as my problem is a but unique: So at my job we teach kids how to mod. Each kid, when wanting to mod, creates a mod folder using the normal process with gradlew (that we automatefor them with a java program I created) That all works fine. However, the kids arent guarenteed to be able to use the same computer each visit, so They put their mods on a flash drive. Now what happens when they try to simply copy this folder to the desktop of whatever computer they are using is a workspace that doesnt work because, apparently, the workspace from their flash drive is missing a .project file for Minecraft. I have tried taking the steps detailed here: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/ForgeGradle/issues/27 to no avail. Although interestingly, I did get around this problem by creating an applescript program that essentially just runs the gradlew setupDecompWorkspace and then gradlew eclipse commands through terminal automatically, and this worked for a while but stopped working a few weeks ago. I still cant even manually type the commands through terminal either, as the workspace still has the "Missing .project folder for Minecraft" error. What I have to end up doing is creating a whole new forge project folder, and simply copy/pasting their src folder into this one so its basically the same mod they can continue working on. This solution is ok for a temporary solution, but is annoying and time consuming, and would love to be able to not have to do this for each kid. A bit of information on the environment we are using: We use only Mac books for the kids, which is running OSX yosemite ( 10.10.1) with Java of course installed and working. We are using forge for 1.7.10, FML version 7.10.18.1180 MCP version 9.05 (I think these are a little out of date, but upgrading to new versions of forge is quite a hassle since we use a custom made Java program to handle the terminal commands and give the kids a much more robust starter mod that has many classes to help them, so I would rather avoid a solution that involves having to upgrade to the very newest version of forge for 1.7.10) I'm wondering if people have run across a similar issue, basically trying to use a forge folder from a USB, and the steps to take to making this workspace work without having to create a whole new workspace and pasting the src folder into it. Sorry for the long text, and sorry if this questions been asked before. tried searching and didnt come up with anything. Thanks for any and all responses, and please let me know if you need any more information

This was it exactly, thank you very much!

do you mean this function? @Override protected boolean isAIEnabled() { return true; } or a different one? I tried this and it didn't work. still won't attack cows. I've noticed that they will only attack villagers and the player, and won't attack spiders, creepers, zombies, themselves, etc. I haven't tried EVERY mob, but that ones I have tried its all the same. Also, if you do have the ai targetting a mob, and its a higher priority than villager/player, it will be docile. If you put its priority above the HurtByTarget AI task, it basically becomes passive (but doesn't panic).

I made a custom mob (called an infected) which is essentially a zombie that does't burn in the sun. Im trying to get it to attack passive mobs (like cows, sheep, etc.) as well as players and villagers. However, nothing I do seems to be working. I've tried adding the following code into the constructor : this.targetTasks.addTask(2, new EntityAINearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityCow.class, 0, false)); But that doesnt seem to work. I have tried using different priorities, removing all the target tasks but that one, and looked though the various classes that make up AI. I'm at a loss for what to do at this point. My Mob is extending the EntityMob class.

Well glad another person got help in my thread as well. Just wanted to report that the problem was solved for me as well. Thanks everyone!

I understand now. The zip is wrong. On a mac, it doesn't show me the root folder with the tutorial folder, but shows me the root folder as the folder with both the mods and generic folder. Not sure why. I opened my zip up in a PC, and saw the error. Thanks for the help guys, I should be able to fix this now. I'll report later with progress when I have some time.

I have the mods folder in the root. Its next to the generic folder (which hold all the classes), and I can't bring it any higher unless I bring it out of the zip. I tried bringing it out of the zip folder (which obviously didn't work) and double/triple checked the mods folder was in the root. I also downloaded the zip i uploaded and made sure this was true for it as well. I actually didn't start modding until after the 1.5 changes, and none of my code is for 1.4.7. I don't attempt to preload any textures in the code, and my folder structure is exactly as you (and all the other resources) say it should be in. I'm not sure what you mean by organizing my information into like areas? Well i understand the concept, but not what you mean about registers with registers. Think you could explain further?

Hello there, thanks for the feedback. I downloaded MultiMC, and have been looking at the console. So I did see that it is indeed failing to find the files, but where it is looking exists, as do all the files. I have a folder called mods, which has a folder called generic (the folder with all the textures) as, as far as I can tell from what I've been reading, its in the correct format and folder hierarchy. This folder is of course in my zip file. The errors that I'm getting in the console are as follows (general format): 2013-06-15 18:14:25 [WARNING] [Minecraft-Client] TextureManager.createTexture called for file mods/generic/textures/items/icesword.png, but that file does not exist. Ignoring. but this file and the directories DO exists. I have double, triple, and quadruple checked. The case matches and everything (though case doesn't matter in the mac file system) I uploaded my zip to media fire, which you can download here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/oqty1bb2lry6bke/tutorial.zip I'm pretty much at a loss for what to do next, so I guess i'm pretty much stuck waiting for an answer. Thanks in advance to anyone who answers

So, I created a mod that adds a few custom weapons and items, (and 1 block) by following various tutorials. The development went fairly alright, and I finally got all the stuff I wanted to work working, including the textures. However, when I recompile and reobsficate my mod, and put it into a Minecraft with forge, the textures do NOT work, though all the code and stuff related to the mechanics of the weapons do indeed work. It just seems to be the code that doesn't work. My mod zip folder is like so: tutorial - generic - class files mods -pixelmod (name of my mod) - textures - blocks - items with my block and texture items being in the blocks/items folders. However, the textures just won't work. I've tried a bunch of different names for the pixelmod folder, uninstalling and reinstalling minecraft, recompiling the mod, and more. I just don't know what else to do at this point. I'm on a Mac if that helps, and using eclipse. Anyone think they can help me?
