[1.7.2] Editing item names while ingame

[PeterRDevries]

Hello.

I'm trying to edit my item names in game using the localized system the en_US.lang file.

 

So i've tried this:

    	Set<String> example = GameData.blockRegistry.getKeys();
    	for (String s : example) {
    		PrintWriter out;
		try {
			out = new PrintWriter(
					   new BufferedWriter(
					       new OutputStreamWriter(
					           new FileOutputStream("assets/MolecularScience/lang/en_US.lang"),"UTF-8")));
			out.println("simpleString");
			out.close();
		} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
    		Sample = new ItemSampler().setUnlocalizedName(s + "sample").setCreativeTab(MolecularScience.Molecules);
            GameRegistry.registerItem(Sample, s + " Sample");
    	}
}

 

Sadly I get an error returning path not found.

Does anyone know the path or a better way to do this?

 

PS: without the use of the en_US.lang file i would need to do something like this            LanguageRegistry.addName(Sample, s + " Sample");

but since addname is probably going to be removed in 1.8 I can't seem to find anyother way to do this

 

Thanks.

[PeterRDevries]

Damn thanks I was looking for that.

 

Edit: i still can't get it to work somehow

[PeterRDevries]

I tried overriding it in the main itemclass:

 

        @Override
public String getItemStackDisplayName(ItemStack par1ItemStack) {
	return super.getItemStackDisplayName(new ItemStack(Items.arrow));
}

To test but nothing happened and I also noticed it only works with itemstacks.

How can I add an item for every existing block with a name like blockname + sample or anything like it?

 

Thanks for your help.

[PeterRDevries]

Well, if you look at the super method it doesn't actually care about the ItemStack you passed in. If you want the arrow name, you'll have to call Items.array.getItemStackDisplayName().

 

That doesnt seem to work because getItemStackDisplayName needs an ItemStack as parameter

[PeterRDevries]

What about editing the items subtext? and not the item name

[PeterRDevries]

PS: i'm trying to do something like forge microblocks theyre creating another block with the same block name as all the other blocks it had loaded.

[PeterRDevries]

Well I was trying that but that would just change the item name to Arrow and not Arrow sample as that is what I'm trying to accomplish

 

EDIT:

 

I tried something different:

 

the item file

 

package ModItems;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import molecularscience.MolecularScience;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;


public class ItemSample extends Item {

    public ItemSample()
    {
        super();
        this.setHasSubtypes(true);
        setMaxDamage(0);
        this.setCreativeTab(MolecularScience.Molecules);
    }
    
    public static final String[] names = MolecularScience.Namen.toArray(new String[MolecularScience.Namen.size()]);
    
    @Override
    public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack par1ItemStack)
    {
        int i = MathHelper.clamp_int(par1ItemStack.getItemDamage(), 0, MolecularScience.Namen.size());
        return super.getUnlocalizedName() + "." + names[i];
    }

    @SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "rawtypes" })
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void getSubItems(Item par1, CreativeTabs par2CreativeTabs, List par3List)
    {
        for (int x = 0; x < MolecularScience.Namen.size(); x++)
        {
            par3List.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, x));
        }
    }
}

    	for (String s : example) {

        Sample = new ItemSample().setUnlocalizedName("sample");
        GameRegistry.registerItem(Sample, "Sample");
}

@EventHandler

}

Still can't seem to set localized names

[Chibill]

set the unlocalized name to the one of the item you want the name of then its display name will be the name of that item. to change just change the display name or look at the anvil's code on how it renames.

[PeterRDevries]

Hi thanks for the reply but i can't seem to find the anvil src, atleast not the anvil tile entity do you perhaps know where i can find it?

[Chibill]

It would be the container you are looking for not the tileentity and its in net.minecraft.inventories

[PeterRDevries]

Wow thanks i finally got it working now!

[Chibill]

Your welcome I as going to try this in my mod so i had to find that stuff too.
