Okay I already realize that I may get shot for asking this but fuck it :P

Is it possible in a simple way to load a texture from an external file in such a way that it could be used normally as a blockIcon?

By normally I mean that you don't have to create a special render for the block using the texture, that it would be stiched into the texturemap along with all the other mod block textures.

Is this possible?

 

 

Now I do see two alternatives, one is to simply create a render which uses this image for the block by handling the drawing it's own way, that could work but it's not what I'm after.

 

The second way would be to copy the external files into the .Zip file at runtime, which I'm pretty sure would be even dumber than what I'm attempting to do :P

But I may end up attempting it, so does anyone know if it's possible to manipulate the assets folder of the .Zip from which the mod it's self is running? I would assume that it's not advisable to do so :P

If you guys dont get it.. then well ya.. try harder...

Hi

 

I would be very surprised if you couldn't use GL11 to replace part of the texture sheet with a new texture (not that I know how to do it) - that might be a third option. 

 

Or a fourth - the TextureStitchEvent might also be a good place to look, you could search the hashMap for the texture you're interested in replacing, then overwrite it with a path to a different asset.

 

Disclaimer: this is just guessing on my part.  And last time I tried to delve into textures and resourcelocations it properly did my head in.

      Immediately forceloading chunks? [1.18.2]

      By JayZX535 · Posted

      That's basically what the failure does, my apologies for failing to specify.  It just tries again on the next tick until it detects the entities for that chunk are loaded, and then tries to load the entity.  From there it gets into different failure states depending on what goes wrong, but in short, if the entity fails to load once the entity list becomes available, the request is cleared and must be resubmitted by the end user.  There should be few cases where that actually happens. Yes, that is my understanding of forceloading.  That's why on a successful summon, it removes the forceload.  Otherwise it does just leave the chunks loaded long term. Thank you for your help, any knowledge is useful!  I don't often mess with forceloading and my prior experience is 1.16 so I'm also a bit out of my depth haha.

      I will have to do more research about 1.18 chunk loading. You were unclear about how your code manages with the entity load failure. If you simply used a loop, I suggest submitting a tick task to the next tick which does the same thing, checking if the entities are loaded and if so teleporting the right one else submitting another tick task etc. Also I think forceloading permanently force loads the chunk, and it only starts to unload when you make a subsequent call to mark the chunk as not forceloaded. I may be completely wrong, I dont know much about 1.18, most of my experience is 1.20. Good luck I hope you figure it out after all this time 😅

      Crash during "loading mods"

      By zz4163 · Posted

      i managed to fix it by reinstalling the modpack and re-add all the extra mods I've had previously.
