Hey everyone,

 

I am having trouble while creating a new ResourceLocation using a 64x32 file and then rendering that into a Gui. As far as I am aware, a Gui can only use 256x256 ResourceLocation objects, otherwise your whole Gui could possibly get messed up, and nobody wants that. So my question is, what is the equivalent to a ResourceLocation for non 256x256 files, and why is a Gui not capable of rendering smaller?

 

I know it's probably extremely simple, but thanks in advance,

You can just use the 256x256 texture and past the GUI into the center.  Anything not filled in is transparent in GUI's.

The means of acquiring the texture doesn't allow me to do this. I'm rendering parts of player skins into the GUI, and their files are 64x32.

You could overlay the texture onto the GUI.  I'm not sure how that would work, but you could render the player skins into the foreground of your GUI, in the drawGuiContainerForeground method, and have the background be just an empty 256 x 256 texture.

Take a look at the code for the player inventory GUI; the player model is rendered (skin and all) is rendered within the larger gui screen.
