My mod will not load textures, I have tried 3 times to re arrange the folder and my friend got it working on his system, but I got it back off GitHub and it doesn't work on my system. https://github.com/raginruffalo/BankMe

Personally, I'm not a fan of setTextureName. Just try using register icons in your safeBlock class instead. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna recommend redowloading the entire repository from GitHub without assuming anything you already have in your dev space is the same.

Wait, where are your assets placed in your file system? Under the BankMe folder, or just in mcp/src like they should be?

Well, how are they supposed to be, the current folder hierarchy is raginruffalo/BankMe/assets/BankMe/textures/blocks/{whatever texture is here}, so idk what to do if he said it was working with that hierarchy on his system

raginruffalo being under mcp/src which is where my mod classes and such are in the raginruffalo/BankMe folder, and i did try to set them in mcp/src/aseets and so on and that didnt work either

The correct place for them to be would be forge/mcp/src/assets/bankme(THIS MUST BE LOWERCASE, and don't forget to change that in the code if you haven't already)/textures/blocks/whatever the file is.png

You can't have the raginruffalo thing in front. The way your folder is identified is by looking for the part in front of the semi colon and going there, and then the rest of the path is determined by the object type and the actual name.

Oh no, my modid has to be lowercase!?

Actually, the folder doesn't have to match your modid. Most people like to, but you can just change the texture code to be lowercase and leave the modid in whatever you want.

Ok, I'll try it now and post back in a few minutes.

/minecraft/assets. I'm doing this away from my computer so I'm bound to forget stuff like that.

Lol it's ok, I got to work, but when I package a release now what folders do I take/ not take for packaging textures?

The .zip is just like being in the /src/Minecraft folder. It should directly open to the top package of your code and the assets, along with the mcmod.info

Ok, thanks I'll try a release now!

I followed this through (and many other texture tutorials) but I still get an error for block textures. Item textures work fine weirdly enough...

 

Anyway my path is \mcp\src\minecraft\assets\colorama\textures\blocks\blockName.png

and in my block code:

 

public blockCO(int par1, Material par2Material) {
	super(par1, par2Material);
	setUnlocalizedName("cStone");
	setTextureName("colorama:cStone");
}
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerIcons(IconRegister reg)
    {
    	this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon("colorama:cStone");
    }

 

I was looking for a way to just use vanilla textures, but gave up so decided to just copy the texture for now into my mods assets folder. Changed the cobblestone.png to cStone.png and changed my textureNames with it. Didn't work so I tried using Icon Registry, still no dice.

That's not the string I used, I used setTextureName(), so try that and see how it works, you can check ,my GitHub if you need "inspiration"

To dev909, the setTextureName takes a string without .png. The register icon method wants the string with .png at the end. Additionally, only one is needed, and it's also recommended to only use one.

Still didn't work. Well nearly every texture I want is vanilla, so how would I just use those textures instead of making a copy in my own assets folder?

I know, its just when none of the methods work I tend to try everything at once

Either:

In the registerIcons function use:

this.blockIcon = Block.dirt.getIcon(0,0); //for dirt

 

Or:

In the constructor use the unlocalized block name:

this.setTextureName("minecraft_dirt"); //I'm probably not right on the string, you'll have to look it up
