I am trying to create a custom sword model for a future mod, I manage to get the sword model to load in, and it is positioned correctly, but I can't get the texture to assign to it.  I always get this error:

If you want to see the item renderer code here it is:

package modding.tutorial;

import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraftforge.client.IItemRenderer;

public class ItemRenderSword implements IItemRenderer {

protected dagger SwordModel;

public ItemRenderSword() {
	SwordModel = new dagger();
}

@Override
public boolean handleRenderType(ItemStack item, ItemRenderType type) {
	switch (type) {
	case EQUIPPED:
		return true;
	case EQUIPPED_FIRST_PERSON:
		return true;
	default:
		return false;
	}
}

@Override
public boolean shouldUseRenderHelper(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item,
		ItemRendererHelper helper) {

	return false;
}

@Override
public void renderItem(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, Object... data) {

	switch (type) {
	case EQUIPPED:
	case EQUIPPED_FIRST_PERSON: {

		GL11.glPushMatrix();
		Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine
		.func_110577_a(new ResourceLocation(
				"/assets/tutorial/textures/model/dagger.png"));  //NEED TO FIX THIS

		float scale = 1.4F;
		GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);
		GL11.glRotatef(90, -1, 0, 0);
		GL11.glRotatef(85, 0, 0, 1);
		GL11.glRotatef(180, 0, 1, 0);
		GL11.glRotatef(135, 1, 0, 0);
		GL11.glTranslatef(-0.1F, -0.5F, 0.5F); // Left-Right
		// Forward-Backwards Up-Down
		SwordModel.render((Entity) data[1], 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F,
				0.0625F);

		GL11.glPopMatrix();
	}
	default:
		break;
	}
}
}

 

 

If you could help me at all, it would be useful.

i dont know why you want a model for an item but change your path to this

 

"tutorial","/textures/model/dagger.png"

Thanks, that got it working for me.  The reason I am doing this is so I can have a base that I can adapt further 3d modeled weapons from in the future

o ok
