Guis and Slots?

[TLHPoE]

Does anyone know of a good tutorial on creating interfaces and displaying them?

[hydroflame]

how you even looked at the wiki ?

[TLHPoE]

Oh, thanks.

[hydroflame]

but feel free to come ask question if theres something you dont understand, its just that someone took time to actually write that tutorial

Well... It depends what you are wanting to do. Like do you want to have a GUI that has a scrolling area? A GUI that can be dragged around?

 

Something I can't think of? All of the above?

 

Or are you wanting to do stuff with containers, and inventory GUI's?

[TLHPoE]

What's the usage of a Container class?

 

What I'm planning on doing is adding some extra slots to the inventory when the player presses a key and if the inventory is open.

[hydroflame]

you mean the E menu ? the main inventory ?

Containers are used with GUI's and are what hold the slots. GUI is just the visuals, the container is pretty much what it says. It holds all the extras and such. Like you can't DRAW a slot, its more of an object (literal sense).

I'm looking through the ContainerTiny class, is TileEntity needed for my situation? I thought it was only used for block to GUI type things.

[hydroflame]

not if you dont have a physical block, you can just link the container to the gui and that will be fine

[TLHPoE]

int texture = mc.renderEngine.getTexture("/gui/trap.png");

 

The method getTexture(String) is undefined for the type TextureManager

 

this.mc.renderEngine.bindTexture(texture);

 

The method bindTexture(int) is undefined for the type TextureManager

search for "hydroflame guide to textures" on the wiki, the gui tutorial apparently uses 1.5.2 so there are some outdated stuff
