[NetworkMod - Gui]

so you can do Reference.modID whenever you need the modID, if it ever changes you only need to change one line

 

well .. i mean you should just keep it static, not necessarelly in a separate file

 

public class Reference{
    public static String modid = "theforgerevolution";
}

 

i mean this class is kindof useless

 

 

 

@op: keep in mind that your mod id and your mod NAME are 2 different things, players rarelly get to see the modid

 

ex:

my mod name: "The Forge Revolution"

my mod id: "forgerev" (i think, or something similar)

[How to make an API]

woups, i didnt read that correctly..

 

in any case you could use reflection and the guava library to detect all class with the ex: @tlr38usdMod and then add all those class/submods to the main

 

but it seems kindof redundant, why don't mod B just add its weapon by itself ?

[Electricity/Item transfer system]

I'm not sure i understand, but couldn't you just make a tileentity for every block in your network and eachtime a object wants to travel in the network, each TE would receive the information from where it comes from and from there pick a destination. Then pass the information to the next TE ?

 

[Toggle visibility of a block based on equipped tool]

And is there an easy way to get the camera vector to orient the texture perpendicular to the looking direction of the player?

"billboarding" is the word you are looking for

heres how to do it (in minecraft, in an actual opengl program there are better way to do this):

 

 

EntityPlayer p = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;
GL11.glRotated(-p.rotationYaw, 0, 1, 0);
GL11.glRotated(p.rotationPitch, 1, 0, 0);

 

i only did a small amount of research on particle but i can tell you this

 

every particle are child class of Entity and they can only spawn in client world (as the server doesn't give a **** about particle and doesn't want to update+sync them) and they are spherically billboarded.

 

i never tried to actually create a new EntityFX (a new particle), might be possible, might not be

 

but what I personally did for one of my TESR (TileEntitySpecialRenderer) was to have an internal list of particle inside the TESR and render+update them inside the TESR. Might not be the best way but for my case it was good enough

 

edit: btw the billboard "technique" i show earlier is fake billboarding, which is 99% of the minecraft case "good enough" true billboarding is a biiiiit more compilcated

[[SOLVED] Tessellator Troubles]

*hydroflame looks at the code in terror*

WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS!!@!@!?!@??!?!?@%^@%?!

 

 

ok sreiously im going to do my research+tutorial on ISBRH because this is getting crazy ?!

[Block file needing EnumBody]

which line ? i cant find anything wrong (maybe i have bad eyes )

[How to make an API]

i know that what you want is "soft dependencies" but im not sure exactly how to set it up, probably check the "Mod" annotation file and you will find it easily

[Another texture problem :/]

Did you push a self-destruction button or what ?

im pretty sure forge has a script that does that

[EntityThrowable/Entity working but invisbile]

if you want me to check, sure

[Tile Entity NBT not saving when the game is quit]

ok ok dont take it wrong, youll probably lol too when you understand whats goign on

 

public GravestoneChangePacket(int facing, int type, TileEntityGravestone par2, int x, int y, int z)

{

this.facing = facing;

this.type = type;

tileEntity = (TileEntityGravestone)par2.worldObj.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z);

}

 

you see this, the method is giving you a reference to a tile entity and the coordinates of that TE, basicly what you are doing is saying

par2.worldObj

get me the world reference of that TE

worldObj.getBlockTileEntity

then on that world get me the tile entity at the x y z location

which obviously return the same TE you have in the begining

par2

so you could just say

tileEntity = par2

and everything would work fine

 

dont worry i wasnt trying to imply you suck or anything, i do stupid shit sometimes too

[Use items from other mods]

just import them in your workspace and code

[Tile Entity NBT not saving when the game is quit]

@gotolink are we talking about the same thign?

(TileEntityGravestone)par2.worldObj.getBlockTileEntity(x, y, z);

bahahahah

[[Solved] Rotation of a model resets after reloading world]

yeah but what im saying is that TESR are rendered every frame (typicly 60 times per second)

you can see this by printing something during the rendering method

 

can you check that the value is actually messed up in the rendering emthod ?

 

like

 

System.out.println("value of rotation "+cannonTE.getRotation());

[Block metadata & texture when rendering]

ISBRH is hydroflame way of calling ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler.

 

ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler

ISBRH ... i wouldnt say its my way but i probably should be more clear whenever someone might not know about it

[EntityThrowable/Entity working but invisbile]

is your mod open source, its one of those case id like to just import and check for myself

[[SOLVED] Tessellator Troubles]

*stares blankly at the screen*

 

... what the fuck

 

 

you remove ONLY

 

GL11.glTranslated(0, 1, 1);

 

right ?

[[Solved] Rotation of a model resets after reloading world]

TESR*

[[SOLVED] Tessellator Troubles]

your model is probably lying around, try like placing this block, and removing all block aroudn it, you will probably see them floating around

[[Solved] Is it possible to use unpacked textures with Eclipse…]

1, lol i havnt heard those in a while

foo:bar

 

2 yes, i dont see any errors in your path but yes

 

when you say an item

you mean iconRegister right ? because if its for a resourcelocation it would be different

[1.6.2 models made have invisible parts]

no no search google/youtube for  "blender texture unwrapping", fortunatelly minecraft is using the same convention as everyone on earth for rendering triangles, so if you unwrap your texture in blender your obj will keep the data on how to unwrap the texture, after that just bind and render

[Block metadata & texture when rendering]

ok

1, if you're not doing any animation and only renderign based on metadata, use ISBRH not TESR

2, dont use this, "@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)" ever, it only causes confusion

nothing good ever came out of that

3, dont override this method: "public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World var1) "

3, to read/write from TE you need to implement readFromNBT and writeToNBT

[config file]

*pulls out code*

*tries it*

 

mfw ?!

 

ah ok, its not in the configuration object that you do that, its on the Property value,

 

yeah it seemed really weird that you wold be able to read but not write

 

thx dies ^^

[1.6.2 models made have invisible parts]

well i approve the part where you scale, because in blender you could shit models that are like 250 block tall so you would have to use scale, but what i dont get it why -1, -1, -1, that implies you want the model to be flipped on all axis :\

 

and to texturing is not hard in blender, just go on youtube there will be a lot of tuts to help you

[1.6.2 models made have invisible parts]

might be due to the fact that you (unexplicably) glScaled(-1, -1, -1);

[[Solved] Rotation of a model resets after reloading world]

Also, it reads fine from NBT, but for some reason it doesnt re-render the model when i reload the world.

TEST are rendered every frame
