Hello,

I have just started modding with Forge in 1.6.2. Before that I was using Modloader. Now when I switched, I, of course, had lots of issues, most of which I have solved. However I cant get my custom armor to work correctly. Before this I didn't even have an ItemArmor.java, I just had everything done in the main mod file. Now, I think I have created an Armor file that will work, but I don't know what I need in my main mod file. If you could help that would be great. Thanks

 

ItemSapphireArmor

 

 

package superninjaman45.elvesanddwarves;

import net.minecraft.item.EnumArmorMaterial;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemArmor;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

public class ItemSapphireArmor extends ItemArmor{

public ItemSapphireArmor(int par1, EnumArmorMaterial par2EnumArmorMaterial, int par3, int par4) {
	super(par1, par2EnumArmorMaterial, par3, par4);
}

public String getArmorTextureFile(ItemStack itemstack) {
	if(itemstack.itemID == ElvesAndDwarves.SapHelmet.itemID){
		return "elvesanddwarves:textures/armor/saparmor_layer_1.png";}

	if(itemstack.itemID == ElvesAndDwarves.SapBody.itemID){
		return "elvesanddwarves:textures/armor/saparmor_layer_1.png";}

	if(itemstack.itemID == ElvesAndDwarves.SapBoots.itemID){
		return "elvesanddwarves:textures/armor/saparmor_layer_2.png";}

	if(itemstack.itemID == ElvesAndDwarves.SapPants.itemID){
		return "elvesanddwarves:textures/armor/saparmor_layer_2.png";
		}
	else return null;

	}


}

 

Here is some bits and pieces from my mod file about the armor. (The entire thing is very large and cluttered with other things)

 

 

public static final Item SapBody = (new ItemSapphireArmor(2108, EnumArmorMaterial.DIAMOND ,5,1 ).setUnlocalizedName("spbd").func_111206_d("elvesanddwarves:spbd"));
public static final Item SapHelmet = (new ItemSapphireArmor(2109,EnumArmorMaterial.DIAMOND ,5,0 ).setUnlocalizedName("sphm").func_111206_d("elvesanddwarves:sphm"));
public static final Item SapPants = (new ItemSapphireArmor(2111,EnumArmorMaterial.DIAMOND ,5,2 ).setUnlocalizedName("sppt").func_111206_d("elvesanddwarves:sppt"));
public static final Item SapBoots = (new ItemSapphireArmor(2112,EnumArmorMaterial.DIAMOND, 5, 3 ).setUnlocalizedName("spbt").func_111206_d("elvesanddwarves:spbt"));


@EventHandler
        public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
                proxy.registerRenderers();
         // Sapphire Chest Armor

        				ModLoader.addName(SapBody, "Sapphire Chestplate");
        				ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(SapBody,1), new Object[]{
        					"* *", "***", "***", Character.valueOf('*'), Sapphire});
        				
        				// Sapphire Helmet Armor

        				ModLoader.addName(SapHelmet, "Sapphire Helmet");
        				ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(SapHelmet,1), new Object[]{
        					"***", "* *", "   ", Character.valueOf('*'), Sapphire});
        				
        				
        				// Sapphire Pants Armor
        				
        				ModLoader.addName(SapPants, "Sapphire Leggings");
        				ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(SapPants,1), new Object[]{
        					"***", "* *", "* *", Character.valueOf('*'), Sapphire});
        				
        				// Sapphire Boots Armor

        				ModLoader.addName(SapBoots, "Sapphire Boots");
        				ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(SapBoots,1), new Object[]{
        					"   ", "* *", "* *", Character.valueOf('*'), Sapphire});
        					
        				ModLoader.addArmor("saparmor"); 
}

 

 

Very sorry if this seems very easy or obvious. I has just been a long time since I have fiddled with the armor. Frankly, I am surprised I got this working in Modloader, I am not sure how the ModLoader.addArmor("saparmor"); got the armor set up correctly as I don't refer to "saparmor" anywhere. Also, sorry for using Modloader in my code.

Thanks for your help.

public String getArmorTextureFile(ItemStack itemstack)

I am pretty sure this method do not exist anymore in 1.6. Change to the following:

public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack stack, Entity entity, int slot, int layer)

Actually it is

public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack stack, Entity entity, int slot, String type)

Whoops. I had the texture in the wrong folder. Sorry about that. Though for some reason, when my character puts on boots it just makes a bigger pair of leggings. Working on that.
