[1.7.2] Updating to 1.7.2 - All sorts of Questions

[Mecblader]

Hello I am updating my mod to 1.7.2 and my mod is not do to well right now. I have a few question about things that have been changed in forge and minecraft in general.

 

 

Simple Questions

1.How do you initialize textures now

2.What happended to player.username, should I use player.getDisplayName() as an alternative?

 

A Bit More Complicated Questions

1. I heard that the packet handling system is completely different now, if so what are some good tutorials that can help me with rewriting a basic packet handler or at least tell me how they work.

2. What happened to PlayerTracker and is there a replacement?

3. What happened to @ForgeSubscribe for event handlers?

4. What about Tick Handlers?

 

 

Basically I would like references or tutorials or even brief explanation of these questions

Please put what number and the section you are answering about because this may be useful to others updating

 

All Help is Appreciated, Thank You
