[demand12]

i am making a simple item and trying to make a config for ids thats follows the mod. but when i load the mod the id of the item is set to 0 (256 for items) and i have been trying diffrent approches on the problem. but cant seem to find the problem.

thanks for the help in addvance

a) Why are your EventHandlers static?

b) You create the Item before you load the config.

c) You should do all your Item creation and stuffs in preInit.

yea i can tell you none of that makes any diffrence. that was the first i tryied and did not work. i have made the event handlers not static anymore. but what ever the place i but the item creation it will not get the id from the config file

Maybe it's different in 1.6.4, but in my version (1.7.2) Configuration does not have the signature you used. It doesn't even have that method.

 

Code you use:

config.getItem("Talisman core id", 6244, "determens the id of the core").getInt(6244);

 

The code I found:

    public Property get(String category, String key, int defaultValue, String comment)

 

So, get vs getItem, and the argument order and types differ.

Show your new code.

here is what the code looks like right now: http://pastebin.com/JGSzCxAg

there is a get(String category, String key, int defaultValue) in 1.6.4 but i found the getItem method and that takes one less parameter than get, and that is the category

public static Item talismancore;

public static int talibaseID;

 

PRE INT:

Configuration config = new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile());

config.load();

talibaseID = config.get("Item", "Talisman core ID", theid).getInt();

config.save();

 

LOAD:

talismancore = new talismancore(talismancoreID - 256).setUnlocalizedName("talismancore");

 

Thats it!

It works fine for me on 1.6.4!

Don't know why he have to create items in preInit!

Yea i know right. I have a mod were i have done the same but have no config file. Is it the config that makes me need the preinit?

 

And i did not have the time yesterday to try it out, i will today when i get home.

look here why you should register your items / blocks in preinit:

well what happens when i put my item constructor inside preinit it make an error in init where i register my item.

[spoiler=Code not working]

public static int talismancoreID;

 

@EventHandler

public void modconfig(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){

Item talismancore = new talismancore(talibase.talismancoreID).setUnlocalizedName("talismancore");

Configuration config = new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile());

config.load();

 

talibase.talismancoreID = talibase.talismancoreID + config.getItem("Talisman core id", 6244, "determens the id of the core").getInt(6244);

 

config.save();

}

 

@EventHandler

public void Load(FMLInitializationEvent event){

 

 

Item talismancore; // <-- eclipse wants that there

//GameRegistry

GameRegistry.registerItem(talismancore, "talismancore");

 

//LanguageRegistry

LanguageRegistry.addName(talismancore, "Talisman Core");

 

}

 

 

and it does't want to be a public constructor. so what do i do now???

SanAndreasP:I know what order the forge uses to load up the mod.

 

demand12:CTRL+C and CTRL+V my code and you are basically done!
