I have the picture which is a .png in the correct folder named Items as is meant to. I Kepp getting these errors, however the bottom two occur as I do not have textures for them yet, but for the first one I do. Can anyone tell me what i`m doing wrong? Here are the errors I`m getting regarding the textures.

Hi

 

You need to set the texture name for the blocks and the item.

eg

  @Override

  public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

  {

    itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("generic:picturename");

  }

 

-TGG

In which class do I put that? And do I copy and paste that directly or must I edit it? (Sorry If I sound like a noob, this is my first mod and its a learning curve.)

Hi

 

No worries mate, we've all got to start somewhere and the documentation is a bit patchy to say the least :-)

 

Put it in your GenericItem and GenericBlock as is, you'll need to replace "generic:picturename" with the name of your mod ("generic" in this case I think) and the name of the file you're using for the texture.

 

If you're just starting out, this sample code might be helpful

http://greyminecraftcoder.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/sample-code-for-rendering-items.html

and especially

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/ItemRendering/blob/master/src/TestItemRendering/items/ItemSmileyFace.java

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/ItemRendering/blob/master/src/TestItemRendering/TestItemRenderingMod.java

 

For now ignore all the bits that aren't ItemSmileyFace, they use more advanced rendering methods that you probably don't need yet...

Hi

 

You need to set the texture name for the blocks and the item.

eg

  @Override

  public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

  {

    itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("generic:picturename");

  }

 

-TGG

 

You only need this if you use more than one texture per block/item.  If it's one texture you can do setTextureName("generic:picturename");

Thank you both for your effort to try and help me understand, but for some reason, the textures wont apper. (Also I have not yet added textures for the other two blocks) Here is the entire console log I get after I tried both your changes:

It can't find your texture.

Here is the code of the GenericItem class:

 

package tutorial.generic;

 

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

 

public class GenericItem extends Item {

 

        public GenericItem(int id) {

                super(id); 

                // Constructor Configuration

                maxStackSize = 64;

                setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);

                setUnlocalizedName("genericItem");

                setTextureName("generic:picturename");

        }

 

}

If you continued on through the Generic Mod tutorials, you would see there's a tutorial on textures:

http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Icons_and_Textures

That is out of date.......

Hi

 

These links might help...

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=11963.0

Also

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,13355.msg69061.html#msg69061

(Apparently - when you're using Eclipse (which I'm not) you should put it into the SOURCE folder, wherever that is :-).)

 

-TGG

That is out of date.......

 

It's actually not.

The icons sections is as it doesnt use the setTextureName("generic:picturename"); function, it uses an older one which is no longer in use.

The icons sections is as it doesnt use the setTextureName("generic:picturename"); function, it uses an older one which is no longer in use.

 

You know how a wiki works, right?

 

You can update the section yourself.

 

What's in that article still works even if there's a cleaner way of doing it in some situations.  As soon as someone needs two icons (say, logs), then setTextureName won't work and so the existing section would have to be added back again if it was removed.

As someone who is doing my first mod and am asking for help, I dont feel like im the most qualified to be updating the tutorial which I myself am using. When I tried doing what the article did I recieved an error, and some research later reveled that the method used is a bit outdated. Hopefully someone will update it but it will definitely not be me due to my inexperience.

The rest of us aren't updating it because we don't realize that it is out of date.  Whereas you do, and then you figure out what the problem is, you're in the unique position of both having the answer and knowing that the tutorial needs to be changed.

 

I'd do it myself (now that I'm aware of the problem), but I don't have the time.

Well a small update. I have successfully managed to get the program to locate the textures, but now these errors have cropped up:

2013-11-05 19:11:47 [sEVERE] [Minecraft-Client] Unable to parse animation metadata from genericmod:textures/items/genericIngot.png: broken aspect ratio and not an animation

 

To fix the previous error I used this coding which was given to me by TheGreyGhost (also after doing some research I also found out why the texture was originally not being found):

 

public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

        {

          itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("genericmod:genericIngot");

        }

 

 

}

 

Can anyone shed some light on what this error means? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I was looking at the wiki and realized my answer was there as well. Major derp on my part 

 

EDIT: I`d like to give a huge thank you to all who posted in this topic and helped me out as I have successfully added the textures Thank-you guys
