1.7.2 custom block render help

[josh_iz_beast]

i'm trying to make a custom rendered block but when i place the block it shows up invisible and i have no idea whats wrong with the code so please help

 

the block class

 
package com.electric.craft.block;

import com.electric.craft.MainMod;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.BlockContainer;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

public class BlockBatteryPack extends BlockContainer {

public BlockBatteryPack(Material material) {
	super(material);
}
public boolean shouldSideBeRendered(IBlockAccess iblockaccess, int i, int j, int k, int l) {
        return false;
}
public boolean isOpaqueCube() {
        return false;
}
        public int getRenderType() {
                return -1;
        }
@Override
public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World var1, int var2) {
	return new EntityBatteryPack();
}
}

 

the tile entity class

package com.electric.craft.block;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.tileentity.TileEntitySpecialRenderer;
import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound;
import net.minecraft.network.Packet;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

public class EntityBatteryPack extends TileEntity {

public EntityBatteryPack() {

}
}

 

the render class

package com.electric.craft.block;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.tileentity.TileEntitySpecialRenderer;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;

import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;

import com.electric.craft.MainMod;

public class RenderBatteryPack extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {

    private ModelBatteryPack model;
    public static final ResourceLocation texture = new ResourceLocation(MainMod.modId, "textures/models/batteryPack.png");
    
    public RenderBatteryPack() {
            this.model = new ModelBatteryPack();
    }
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileEntity, double x, double y, double z, float scale) {
    	GL11.glPushMatrix();
    	GL11.glTranslatef((float)x + 0.5F, (float)y + 1.5F, (float)z + 0.5F);

I hope you know - if getRenderType() returns -1, it will render as BlockSign.

 

getRenderType() - render types

- K, let's get on topic (well more on topic) -

Have you registered your block - with your render stuff?

[josh_iz_beast]

i registered the entity and the block with GameRegistry

[zacharyjaiden]

have you registered it in your proxy?

 

        ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntityYOURTILEENTITY.class, new TileEntityYOURTILEENTITYRender());

[josh_iz_beast]

yes i have

Hi

 

  -1 means "don't render anything"

 

RenderBlocks::

  /**

    * Renders the block at the given coordinates using the block's rendering type

    */

    public boolean renderBlockByRenderType(Block par1Block, int par2, int par3, int par4)

    {

        int l = par1Block.getRenderType();

 

        if (l == -1)

        {

            return false;

        }

 

That's fine because you want your TileEntitySpecialRenderer to do the rendering, not the block.

 

You're probably not registering the TileEntity or the Special Renderer properly.

 

I would suggest you put a few breakpoints in your code (or System.out.println) to see which bits are being called properly, and which bits aren't - eg the constructor, the calls to ClientRegistry, the renderer, etc.  That will help you narrow it down.

okay i found out the methods that register the tile entity and bind the tile entity to the render were not being called and now i fixed that but the block is still invisable

[josh_iz_beast]

anyone know what the problem could be

Hi

 

If you put a breakpoint in this method:

    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileEntity, double x, double y, double z, float scale) {

does it ever get called?

 

If not; you could try

(1) creating a flat world

(2) putting your TileEntity into it, then

(3) putting breakpoints into the vanilla code

TileEntityRendererDispatcher:

    /**

    * Render this TileEntity at a given set of coordinates

    */

    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity p_147549_1_, double p_147549_2_, double p_147549_4_, double p_147549_6_, float p_147549_8_)

    {

        TileEntitySpecialRenderer tileentityspecialrenderer = this.getSpecialRenderer(p_147549_1_);

 

and

    /**

    * Render this TileEntity at its current position from the player

    */

    public void renderTileEntity(TileEntity p_147544_1_, float p_147544_2_)

    {

        if (p_147544_1_.getDistanceFrom(this.field_147560_j, this.field_147561_k, this.field_147558_l) < p_147544_1_.getMaxRenderDistanceSquared())

 

and

RenderGlobal::renderEntities

 

            this.theWorld.theProfiler.endStartSection("blockentities");

            RenderHelper.enableStandardItemLighting();

 

            for (i = 0; i < this.tileEntities.size(); ++i)

            {

                TileEntity tile = (TileEntity)this.tileEntities.get(i);

                if (tile.shouldRenderInPass(pass) && p_147589_2_.isBoundingBoxInFrustum(tile.getRenderBoundingBox()))

                {

                    TileEntityRendererDispatcher.instance.renderTileEntity(tile, p_147589_3_);

                }

            }

 

This should help you narrow down whether

(1) your TileEntity is never being created, or

(2) your TileEntity exists, but the renderer is incorrectly registered, or

(3) your model rendering is being called but is invisible.

i put a break point on that method and debugged it and when i placed the block the game froze

Hi

 

I sent you a private message yesterday, let me know if it doesn't help?

You're calling a method model.renderModel(float) but in your definition of that method, you have no rendering code. That's why your model isn't rendering in-game.
