Glistre

I have fooling with this for hours and hours --I cannot get my custom arrow/projectile to render. .. The particle effects display but not the projectile. All my other entities render fine. At one point, after moving things all around I got a white cube but I don't even recall how I did that. Sorry my code is not formatted well, but if someone could point me in the right direction I will name my next child after you ... I am sure this is something so simple that I am doing wrong: EntityBlasterBolt class: package com.glistre.glistremod.projectiles.blaster; import java.util.List; import com.glistre.glistremod.GlistreMod;

Not sure what could cause this but when I enter my custom dimension, the game seems to stall ...takes seemingly forever to enter the dimension (actually a full minute) . . .and the chunks seem to load so slowly that you cannot hit entities. Not even sure where to look ...I created a provider class that uses WorldChunkProviderHell but no idea if that is even the place I should be looking I tried removing snow, entities, and ice from my biome and that did nothing Edit: well no sooner than I posted for help here I rewrote #decorate in the biome and created a custom generator and the lag is gone

gameRenderer == 53% display_update == 34% Edit: Found one problem in Renderer where I did not override @Override // 1.8 changed func_82422_c() transformHeldFull3DItemLayer() Now it seems to just stalls loading chunks 68% display_update, 28% gameRenderer

That seems to have helped a bit I am still very laggy in the custom biome / dimension ...for ex, I hit the entity after the fifth time the game literally freezes .... Is there a way to run a report on my mod to find out what is causing this ...ie,: how much is chunk generation, how much is entity , how much is errors from rendering or something like that ..?

As stated in subject line: my custom entity walks right into blocks. I have tried a few methods such as #getCollisionBox, #getEntityBoundingBox, and #getCollisionBoundingBox from AxisAlignedBB When my custom mob walks through any block the game lags, nearly stalls. Please let me know and I can post any code EntityBlackTobo class: I hope 1.8.9 still supported here , I really need to fix several bugs in my mod before updating to 1.10!

Thanks Choonster! that fixed THAT problem ...I have another one now so I will work on it next ..'execution failed for task ':retroMapSources " Edit: success ! ready to move on to 1.10 Thanks to everyone that has helped me with the updating

I am trying to build my mod for release (1.8 version) and then update it to 1.10.02 but when I run gradlew build I keep getting an error: It says: "bootstrap classpath not set in conjunction with -source 1.6" and "use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions" The thing is when I check my java compile settings in eclipse, they say that I am using java 1.8 as compiler Why is it trying to compile in 1.6?

That works great now thank you so much! And I learned some new things about git and renaming methods I have one more odd thing -- my chest does not show in inventory ... it shows in my hot bar but not under the tab . . . Would you happen to know why? Edited: forgot to add chest to my list in TabRegistry fixed with adding : list.add(new ItemStack(BlockRegistry.glistre_chest)); Working great now! Aside: were you at Minecon in September on the modding forum panel with LexManos?

thanks I will learn how to use it better then get back Edit: I have much to learn about git and code sharing. Meanwhile, I uploaded a zip file of all source and resources if that would be possible to access https://github.com/Glistre/GlistreMod3.0/upload/master Edit: I pushed the project to github now hope that is better https://github.com/Glistre/GlistreMod3.1/

Here's the code I hope you can fork it. please let me know if you would need anything else to try DELETED

When I place the second chest it renders the Large chest directly on top of the Small chest. When I log out and then back in everything is fixed and looks perfect bumping because I cannot figure out anyone?

It sure looks like its just rendering both the small and large textures until I log out and log back in. I added that line after modelchest.renderAll(); the console prints size : small over and over again

My custom large chest is not rendering correctly. If I place a small chest, then place a second chest adjacent, the original small chest texture z-fights with the large chest texture. If I exit the game and log back in, the effect is gone and everything is fine -- I see just the large chest texture. This is my render class for the chests. Does anyone know why this texture would not update until I log out and log back in?

I got a bit confused trying to do that . . .but I added #ticksExisted%400 and seems to give me the desired effect of only showing in chat & console every 20 seconds or so. I also added this to only when the player has an item in hand and that helps, so I think it would be best to make a custom compass and only display when the Player has the item in inventory ....even though I never completed the nbt part and the tick method I am going to mark this solved. Thanks for the help Here's what I came up with for my EntityTobieKing class if anyone else is curious: @Override public void onUpdate(){ super.onUpdate(); if (!(worldObj.isRemote && this.ticksExisted < 400)){ /* NBTTagCompound nbt = new NBTTagCompound(); nbt.setBoolean("spawned", true); if (nbt.getBoolean("spawned") == true && nbt.hasKey("spawned") ){*/ //gets list of players within 55 blocks - -very large radius // int r = 35; //radius List<EntityPlayer> playerList = worldObj.getEntitiesWithinAABB(EntityPlayer.class, this.getEntityBoundingBox().expand(155.0D, 75.0D, 155.0D)); Iterator<EntityPlayer> i1 = playerList.iterator(); EntityPlayer entityplayer; while (i1.hasNext()) { entityplayer = (EntityPlayer)i1.next(); double inRange = this.getDistanceSqToEntity(entityplayer); // && !nbt.getTagCompound().getBoolean(KEY)) if ( inRange < 1600.0D & inRange > 1580.0D) if(entityplayer.getHeldItem() !=null && entityplayer.getHeldItem().getItem() == ItemRegistry.mighty_sword){ entityplayer.addChatComponentMessage( new ChatComponentText(EnumChatFormatting.DARK_GREEN + "Toby King in Range, Tower location" + EnumChatFormatting.DARK_RED + " X: " + (int)Math.round(this.posX) + EnumChatFormatting.GOLD + " | Y: " + (int)Math.round(this.posY) + EnumChatFormatting.DARK_AQUA +" | Z: " + (int)Math.round(this.posZ))); } } } //DEBUG this below just tells me if its generating or not //get and print location of Toby king when it spawns in world // System.out.println("Toby King spawned in Tower in Freon Biome location X: " + (int)Math.round(this.posX) + " | Y: " + (int)Math.round(this.posY) + " | Z: " + (int)Math.round(this.posZ)); }

I don't understand how to check for the actual spawning of the entity, so I thought I had to use an event

Could you possibly help me out a bit with the nbt saving? I sometimes have trouble with that Here's what I have: (moved this to an event): @SubscribeEvent public void onEntitySpawnsTobieKing(LivingSpawnEvent event) { if (event.entity instanceof EntityTobieKing) { List<EntityPlayer> playerList = event.entity.worldObj.getEntitiesWithinAABB(EntityPlayer.class, event.entity.getEntityBoundingBox().expand(155.0D, 75.0D, 155.0D)); Iterator<EntityPlayer> i1 = playerList.iterator(); EntityPlayer player; while (i1.hasNext()) { player = (EntityPlayer)i1.next(); NBTTagCompound nbt = event.entity.getEntityData(); // NBTTagCompound nbt = new NBTTagCompound(); nbt.setBoolean("spawned", true); if(nbt.hasKey("spawned")){ player.addChatComponentMessage( new ChatComponentText(EnumChatFormatting.DARK_GREEN + "Toby King in Range, location" + EnumChatFormatting.DARK_RED + " X: " + (int)Math.round(event.entity.posX) + EnumChatFormatting.GOLD + " | Y: " + (int)Math.round(event.entity.posY) + EnumChatFormatting.DARK_AQUA +" | Z: " + (int)Math.round(event.entity.posZ))); } } } } So the spamming the console slowed down a bit but it still continues to cycle over and over every couple of seconds . What I trying to do is 1) get the entity that spawns when it spawns; 2) check for players close to the entity; 3) add a chat message one time to the player.

I already have a playerList that I iterate through ... is there a way to just change what I have so it won't send the message if it already sent? I added a range which at least stops the spamming in chat and console of the message, but seems to add lag to the game double inRange = this.getDistanceSqToEntity(entityplayer); if ( inRange < 1000.0D & inRange > 900.0D){

Not exactly sure where to start ...would that be player.capabilities. some code? Also, I thought that adding a check for a player held item might work to turn off the message so I added this but nothing happened: if(!(worldObj.isRemote && entityplayer.getCurrentEquippedItem() !=null && entityplayer.getHeldItem().getItem() == (ItemRegistry.compass)));

I am able to get it to work reliably by overriding #updateEntity in my tileentitychest class but I still have two questions: 1) the chat message spams the console and the chat instead of just playing just one time; and 2) how would I just detect my custom mob ... outside of worldgen that is, so I don't have the probably of only showing when the world is generated? Edit: I tried a different way of doing this I used #onUpdate in my custom mob class. That works, but again spams the chat and console. Should I try to limit the chatmessage to display only once in chat or should I try using a different message? Maybe I should just create a custom item like a compass and call #getCurrentEquippedItem? This is what I tried: @Override public void onUpdate(){ super.onUpdate(); //gets list of players within 55 euclidian distance blocks - -very large radius List<EntityPlayer> playerList = worldObj.getEntitiesWithinAABB(EntityPlayer.class, this.getEntityBoundingBox().expand(55.0D, 25.0D, 55.0D)); Iterator<EntityPlayer> i1 = playerList.iterator(); EntityPlayer entityplayer; while (i1.hasNext()) { entityplayer = (EntityPlayer)i1.next(); // if(!(world.isRemote && entityplayer.getCurrentEquippedItem() !=null && entityplayer.getCurrentEquippedItem().isItemEqual))) if(!(worldObj.isRemote && entityplayer !=null)) entityplayer.addChatComponentMessage( new ChatComponentText(EnumChatFormatting.DARK_GREEN + "Toby King in Tower location" + EnumChatFormatting.DARK_RED + " X: " + (int)Math.round(this.posX) + EnumChatFormatting.GOLD + " | Y: " + (int)Math.round(this.posY) + EnumChatFormatting.DARK_AQUA +" | Z: " + (int)Math.round(this.posZ))); } //DEBUG this below just tells me if its generating or not //get and print location of Toby king when it spawns in world // System.out.println("Toby King spawned in Tower in Freon Biome location X: " + (int)Math.round(this.posX) + " | Y: " + (int)Math.round(this.posY) + " | Z: " + (int)Math.round(this.posZ)); }

Do you know how the distance from the entity to the player would be measured? I wonder if my y component could be a problem as well? I have it x = 155, y = 95, z = 155 ...would that be 47 1/2 blocks above the player, and 155 blocks in any direction when generated?

public boolean generate4(World world, Random rand, int i, int j, int k) { if (!(world.isRemote)){ //spawn Tobie King on tower EntityTobieKing entity = new EntityTobieKing(world); entity.setPosition(i + 20, j + 34, k + 11); entity.setLocationAndAngles(i + 20, j + 34, k + 11, 0.0F , 0.0F); world.spawnEntityInWorld(entity); entity.onUpdate(); //gets list of players within 155 blocks - -very large radius // int r = 35; //radius List<EntityPlayer> playerList = world.getEntitiesWithinAABB(EntityPlayer.class, entity.boundingBox.expand(155.0D, 95.0D,155.0D)); Iterator<EntityPlayer> i1 = playerList.iterator(); EntityPlayer entityplayer; while (i1.hasNext()) { entityplayer = (EntityPlayer)i1.next(); if(!(world.isRemote)) entityplayer.addChatComponentMessage( new ChatComponentText(EnumChatFormatting.DARK_GREEN + "Toby King in Tower location" + EnumChatFormatting.DARK_RED + " X: " + (int)Math.round(entity.posX) + EnumChatFormatting.GOLD + " | Y: " + (int)Math.round(entity.posY) + EnumChatFormatting.DARK_AQUA +" | Z: " + (int)Math.round(entity.posZ))); } //DEBUG this below just tells me if its generating or not System.out.println("Toby King spawned in Tower in Freon Biome location X: " + (int)Math.round(entity.posX) + " | Y: " + (int)Math.round(entity.posY) + " | Z: " + (int)Math.round(entity.posZ)); } return true; }

Want the chat message to display to any players within X # of blocks from a custom mob ... trouble is, it only seems to display when you quit the game and re-enter the game Any ideas? I've seen this happens a few other times on events but never was sure what caused the problem

Not exactly sure how to use that method, I added the following to my RudBlock code and nothing changed. @Override public boolean canCollideCheck(IBlockState state, boolean hitIfLiquid){ //return hitIfLiquid && ((Integer)state.getValue(LEVEL)).intValue() == 1; // return false; return this.isCollidable(); } @Override @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT) public boolean isCollidable() { return true; }

bump Help please ...just a couple more problems to fix with my 1.8 mod update then I can move on to a newer version ..what is wrong with my coding? neither #onEntityCollideWithBlock with IBlockState parameter or without is working I have no errors in Eclipse, and no crash. The method is simply not being called.

Edited: #onEntityWalk not coming up for me as a method...perhaps that's a 1.8.9 or later version not 1.8? The other method Block#public void onEntityCollidedWithBlock(World worldIn, BlockPos pos, IBlockState state, Entity entityIn)is not working for me either maybe something wrong with my coding?
