Creating a ResourceLocation in a coremod

[voidzm]

I have a coremod that needs to load some image assets and draw them on the screen in a GUI. I'm using the OpenGL drawing functions, so I need to get a ResourceLocation for the images before I can bind the textures and draw them.

 

However, upon trying to bind the texture, an error occurs:

I'm using this code to create the ResourceLocation:

 

 

ResourceLocation resourceLocation = new ResourceLocation("mymodid:textures/gui/image.png");

 

 

And this code to bind it for drawing:

 

 

this.mc.renderEngine.func_110577_a(resourceLocation);

 

 

"image.png" is located at "/assets/mymodid/textures/gui/image.png". I did read that having an uppercase modid in the file path would cause this error to occur, but the modid is lowercase, so that can't be the problem.

 

Any ideas? I can't seem to make this ResourceLocation stuff work properly, and I don't know if the fact that I don't have a regular @Mod file has anything to do with it. If it does, then this is a really stupid way to have the texture system set up (requiring a @Mod file with a registered modid before the resource engine will find any of your textures.)
