Hello!

 

First of all, i'm new to Java, i just started about a week ago, but i've been following tutorials but it still doesnt seem to work (I tried several different ones and they all gave me this problem)

 

After searching the forums and trying to google an aswer to my problem to no result. I decided i'll try to ask for help here.

 

The problem seems to be a very common one, i might have done something wrong. And happen to be blind.

 

TL;DR : My custom textures refuse to load. They only show up as purple and black squares. There is no error about missing textures in the console. The problem appears while running via Eclipse and also when running via startclient.bat

I have placed the textures in mcp/scr/minecraft/assets/tutorial/textures/blocks/tutorialBlock.png

 

Here's the code for the Tutorial.class : http://pastebin.com/f2K0t011

And here's the code for the BlockTutorialBlock.class : http://pastebin.com/pjrqhhum

 

I'm running Forge 965.

 

I hope someone is able to help me with this as i really want to make some mods

remove your registerIcons function and add this to the constructor:

 

setTextureName(Tutorial.modid+":tutorialBlock")

I use this and it works:

in block file change

@Override
        public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister)
        {
                this.blockIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon(Tutorial.modid + ":" + (this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)));
        }

 

to

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister)
    {
        this.blockIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("tutorial:tutorialBlock");
    }

 

And write

.setTextureName("tutorialBlock");

 

 

instead of

.setTextureName("tutorial:tutorialBlock");

 

Hope it will help

Tried that too now, but it still doesnt work

 

Is it possible that my assets folder is in the completely wrong place?

 

Here's where it's placed: http://i.imgur.com/htgUtJn.png

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister)
    {
        this.blockIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("tutorial:tutorialBlock");
    }

 

And write

.setTextureName("tutorialBlock");

 

Ok two things wrong here:

 

1) You don't need to do both.  The second (setTextureName) only means anything if you're not overriding registerIcons.

2) setTextureName("tutorialBlock") tells Minecraft (if you weren't overriding registerIcons) to look in the default minecraft assets directory which is wrong.  It should look in your asset directory.  That's what the "tutorial:" part of your registerIcons method is doing.

Try changing everything to all lower case.  Instead of tutorialBlock, use tutorialblock.  Do the same to all folders and files from /assets on down as well as all references in your code.

Can you take a screenshot of your folders and files?

Eg.

 

 

There you go

 

I also renamed tutorialBlock to block

 

and changed the Tutorial.class to main.class and the BlockTutorialBlock.class to tutorialblock.class (Removed Tutorial.class & BlockTutorialBlock completely + edited the .setTextureName to main.modid + ":block")

Class names can stay with capitals (it's good practice that class names are CamelCase with InitialCaps).

 

Anyway, is it still not working?

You Said you were following a tutorial I am interested to know which one it was so if you could link it to me it would be greatly appreciated

Ah, okey.

Still isn't working, starting to think there might be some odd problem with this build so i'm going to try downgrading

I was following these one: http://www.wuppy29.com/minecraft/modding-tutorials/forge-modding-1-6/

 

Then when i got the texture problem i started following the one on the forge wiki

Update:

 

I got it working by downgrading from 965 to 964!

 

I just wish i had tried it a few hours earlier.
