[[Solved] [1.7.10] Dynamically combine textures]

Blocks can have multiple render layers.

These are also called rendering passes.

In your iicon register method, register icons for all layers.

Now, there's big good method getIICon with world, position and render layer parameters. Here you can check if your block is forming multiblock, and return textures based on rendering pass...

Note: you have to override some methods in order for multiple layers to work...

[[1.7.10] Get item and color from tool material...]

Then you should not support those mods and if people complain send them to the mod authors. It's not your job to fix that

Ok, got it... I'll report to all of them one by one ...

Yes, the Java 2d image classes should be fine.

Wait, but isn't texture sheet generated from iicons?

Fo items with single layer, i can just get their texture location and that's it (this is probably like 99.9% of cases for material items), fo colored items with color mutiplier method, i can apply this multiplier to medium color, but what for items with multiple layers? They are generated from multiple iicons, and where i can find them is on generated texture sheet... Or should i consider not coding them???

[[1.7.10] Get item and color from tool material...]

I was meaning "repair" item, item which is used to make/repair tools. For example, for

ToolMaterial.WOOD

it's planks, for

ToolMaterial.IRON

it's iron ingot...

That is what getRepairItemStack does...?

I'm still using

material.getRepairItemStack()

, but this only works for vanilla items, as

I found that there's no single mod that cares about specifiyng repair item stack in tool material.

So what should i do in this case???

My guess is only to scan over all items, find tool instances with this material and apply pattern recipe "cutting" to determine item used...

 

So there's no way i can "scan" texture (of let's say repair item, which i found above) and determine "average" color??? (Yes, this will not work if item is special rendered)...

Sure, you could do that.

Ok, so it's possible...

I'm not experienced with graphics or open gl, so how can i proceed when i get texture file location? I heard of java image classes, is that what i can use?

[[1.7.10] Get item and color from tool material...]

- There is no way to get the color, so you have to specify it yourself.

[[1.7.10] Get item and color from tool material...]

Hello everybody,

I'm here with 2 interesting questions:

-Can we get material's item (or itemstack), another way than using

material.getRepairItemStack()

?

--Why?

--Because i found that there's no single mod that cares about specifiyng repair item stack in tool material. And when recipes for mod items are generated, recipes for items based on modded tool materials have no recipe...

-How can i get tool material's color?

--Rgb or hex, both will work.

--For example, wood color is 110:65:43 (r:g:b) and iron is 153:153:153 (r:g:b), but these i found manually...

--I have not tried anything yet, i'm just asking about it, if anybody has done it already or knows approximative way to do it.

--Note: color option is client only, so i can "scan" textures...

 

Thanks for help!

[[1.8] Problem syncing animations to sounds]

1) Sounds are indeed separate thread. In eclipse, you can see it when switch perspective to "Debug" mode. (It's LWJGL thread. LWJGL is java connector to OpenAl and OpenGl).

2)

playSound

sends packet (i think you know that) to everybody and then clients play convenient

ISound

in

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getSoundHandler().playSound(ISound)

This means, that you can play sound on client directly by creating new

ISound

and passing it to sound handler.

Note that vanilla mc has already created helper classes such as

PositionedSound

,

ITickableSound

and

MovingSound

. You can use them too, or extend/implement your own (needed in certain cases, for example repeating sound like riding in minecart, which has it's own

MovingSoundMinecart

implementation).

[[1.8] Fill Block with Fluid]

[[1.7.10] [SOLVED] Turn off Backface Culling?]

SOLVED!

 

RenderBlocks has a method called setRenderFromInside(). Set it to true to draw the inside of a block! (Overriding shouldSideBeRendered from Block to always return true may also be a good idea).

Note on RenderBlocks.setRenderFromInside(): you should only set it to true only when your block is rendered. And after - back to false... Because otherwise ALL blocks will be rendered from inside... Which will decrease fps a lot...

[[1.7.10] [SOLVED] Turn off Backface Culling?]

Are you using default block model? Not default? Custom?

When wearing a part of an armor.

Then there's tick method which is called every tick when armor is worn. It is called something like onArmorTick. Do player.motionY manipulations there...

When do you want to do this? (when wearing armor, holding item, next to the chicken, next to your mob...)...

[Render OBJ model as item[1.8]]

In MC

From json or dynamic model?

Seriously, from here you can google it...

[Render OBJ model as item[1.8]]

Okay - how to load it up?

Where? In mc? In 3d modelling software?

[Render OBJ model as item[1.8]]

So, B3D - does it work the same way?

Yep. Very similar to how it was with OBJ in 1.7.10. Also, B3D has something special: you can specify it in json...

 

YAYYY...which means i can animate it? And which programs can create B3D models?

I know that blender will work (i use it)... Probably also maya, cinema4d...

[[1.8] Copy Paste section of worlds]

Yes, you are right. Before reading from nbt to te, change integers in nbt: "x", "y", "z" to valid values (pos of new te).

Yep. Very similar to how it was with OBJ in 1.7.10. Also, B3D has something special: you can specify it in json...

[Render OBJ model as item[1.8]]

But somehow forge must did it before. Isn't there a possibility called AccesTransformer - i think NoCubesMod uses that.

1.7.10, obj - yes.

1.7.10, b3d - no.

1.8, obj - no.

1.8, b3d - yes.

[[1.8] Custom Potion]

I just found the NBT thing before your edit.  I got a potion that delivers my effect.  Name is wrong and color is wrong, but I'm sure I could fix that.

 

All that being said, surely there is a built in way to do it??  Anyone got experience with this?

The way to fix the color is to use metadata. That's all...

[Render OBJ model as item[1.8]]

OBJ - No.

B3D - Yes.

[[1.8] Custom Potion]

Thanks, that explains that.

 

I'm not the best with bit calcs. 

 

How do I specify my new custom potion for a new Itemstack?

Actually, me neither... But you can take a look at PotionHelper class, it must have a method convert effect in to meta, because it has method to convert it back...

 

EDIT: Also, you can add effects by wrting those in to compounds in to tag list called CustomPotionEffects in stack's tag compound...
