Hey guys, I was curious if there is something I can check using an if statement in order to draw a string ONLY on the main menu, without editing base classes (because that's a no no ) Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks a ton guys!

I seem to remember a "currentScreen" variable in the minecraft instance (Minecraft.getMinecraft() which should provide the functionality you're looking for.

Alright, I'll see if I can find it and if so I'll try it. Thanks!

I could help you draw the string! Because i did that on the menu aswell

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated at this point. I got to here:

    private FontRenderer fontrenderer;
    private String line;
    
    public Wimmp(FontRenderer font) {
        this.fontrenderer = font;
    }

    //PreInitialization
    @EventHandler
    public void PreInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
        WimmpConfig.loadConfig(new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile()));
    }
    
    //Initialization
    @EventHandler
    public void Init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        line = WimmpConfig.strings.get(0);
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void onChangeGUI(GuiOpenEvent event) {
    	if (event.gui instanceof GuiMainMenu) {
    		//fontrenderer.drawString(line, 2, 2, 0xffffff);
    		System.out.println("[DEBUG] [WIMMP] Current Screen is Main Menu.");
    	}
    }

 

Which should work, theoretically of course, but then I get this error, which I have been getting no matter what method I've used to detect the gui. Am I calling the event (listening?) the wrong way?

 

I'm not even going to post the whole error log because I just realized I'm giving it a bad annotation. I've also tried @ForgeSubscribe, but that isn't recognized as a valid annotation at all... any suggestions?

[16:37:58] [Client thread/ERROR] [wimmp]: The mod wimmp appears to have an invalid event annotation EventHandler. This annotation can only apply to methods with recognized event arguments - it will not be called

In 1.7.2, @ForgeSubscribe has changed into @SubscribeEvent. Then you need to register the class where the method in is, in the proper event bus.
