Texture location in the filesystem

[TreetopFlyer]

Very noob question-- I can't figure out how to point the rendering engine to a texture in the filesystem.

As bindTexture is depreciated, apparently its now done like this with func_110577_a(?):

ResourceLocation rl = new ResourceLocation("path/to/rasterImage.png");

Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.func_110577_a(rl);

Anyway, where, in the filesystem, is the compiler(or is it the runtime?) looking for rasterImage.png?

 

When I run the above snippet with "textures/entity/arrow.png" as the argument

for the ResourceLocation constructor, (something I found in another class) it works, but I don't know why, or where it found that image, or how to supply my own image.

thank you!! you spelled that out perfectly! could not ask for more.

ERR wait a second, im following your guide very closely. At the very bottom it says:

ResourceLocation myImage = new ResourceLocation("genericmodid", "you/can/use/any/path/theImage.png");

 

So, I have in my code a static member of the class MyClass (implements IItemRenderer) as the resource like this:

private static ResourceLocation RL = new ResourceLocation("MyMod", "test.png");

 

And in the MyClass render routine I'm calling:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderEngine.func_110577_a(MyClass.RL);

 

and in the filesystem I have a png like this:

mcp/src/minecraft/assets/test.png

 

but  still get this runtime exception:

[WARNING] [Minecraft-Client] Failed to load texture: MyMod:test.png

[hydroflame]

src/minecraft/assets/*modid*/test.png

ok in the filesystem i added the extra folder (named after the modid) in the assets directory and moved the image in there like you indicated, but still no dice.

 

to re-cap, i have the filesystem setup like this:

mcp/src/minecraft/assets/MyMod/test.png

 

and the ResourceLocation code is unchanged:

private static ResourceLocation RL = new ResourceLocation("MyMod", "test.png");

caps are not allowed for mod ids

ok ok looks like that got rid of the exception! the item (this is for an item renderer) is invisible. test.png is a solid orange block, 32x32. if i change the path back to that factory arrow texture, i can see it show up on parts of the item. But this test texture, even though it is a solid color, never shows up. is 32x32 an illegal size?

ok seems to be a techne model issue of some sort. i was able to pull the test.png texture in and render it on the arrow geometry i ganked from somewhere else. I'll see if I can't fix it from here. Thanks Hydroflame for all your help!
