The reason for my question is that you used to be able in a TickHandler to specify capes by changing the cloakUrl in EntityPlayer and then using "Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.obtainImageData(player.cloakUrl, new ImageBufferDownload());" to download the image.

 

cloakUrl seems to have moved, or minecraft has changed the way it handles them. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

I was wondering this as well.

It does seems strange, I'll keep looking and if I find anything I'll post it here.

Ok.

Looks like it has been moved to AbstractClientPlayer and is field_110313_e and that is a ResourceLocation. But it is not public and hence inaccessible.

May be another way to change this, but I am not good at reading (even mildly) obfuscated code.

I do know that some people are using core mods for it.

Yes, but it seems like a simple setter and getter would be all that is needed, shame. Used to be a really nice feature

Ya.

Well it may be possible to use reflection to change it//

you could replace the whole class and add a setter and getter as a cape core mod that's a API.

Very true (to both the reflection and the overwriting), but either requires additional downloads by the player or for the mod to be installed as a coremod vs the old method where any mod could easily add capes. Perhaps a pull request in Forge, to make the field public?

 

I imagine reflection is the way to go, unless their is a simplier way that I am overlooking

I may look at this more maybe you could copy the function and recreate it in your own class.

Where is abstractclientplayer?

net.minecraft.client.entity.AbstractClientPlayer

how would we render and show them oh smart one?

also helps if there was a event named that!

also helps if there was a event named that!

 

there is...

I check all the net.minecraftforge.event packages there was none.

found it but it does not help us who are trying to work with capes.

no it doesn't

do we need to be a coremode to use ASM?

Sorry to be a pain, but where is the Cape render code located (unless it is       

ModelBiped.bipedCloak = new ModelRenderer(this, 0, 0);
        ModelBiped.bipedCloak.addBox(-5.0F, 0.0F, -1.0F, 10, 16, 1, par1);

 

Ignore me I am an idiot, it is obviously located in RenderPlayer.renderSpecials (P.S. check out the DeadMau5 stuff)

Okay so I got around half way then hit a lot of trouble with event.renderer.anything being private, any advice?
