how would I add textures to an item in 1.7.2?

Folder setup:

\forge 1.7.2\src\main\resources\assets\futureweapons\textures\items

 

That didn't work

code:

 

 

package FutureWeapons;

 

 

import Items.ItemPlasmaRifle;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

 

 

/**

* This @Mod annotation tells forge that we are creating a new mod. Without this, forge wont

* find your mod. This takes 2 values, a modid, which is a "name" for your mod. This cant be the

* same for ANY mod. So find a name which is new. Version is the current mod version.

*/

@Mod(modid = Reference.MODID, version = Reference.VERSION)

public class FutureWeaponsMain

{

 

 

  public static Item Plasma_Rifle;

@EventHandler

public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)

{

        //Block handlers, handles all blocks

 

 

 

        //Item handlers, handles all items

Plasma_Rifle = new ItemPlasmaRifle();

 

RegisterHelper.registerItem(Plasma_Rifle);

Plasma_Rifle = new ItemPlasmaRifle().setUnlocalizedName("ItemPlasmaRifle").setTextureName("Future Weapons:plasmarifle");

 

 

 

        //Register handler, adds all the recipes

 

}

}

 

 

folder setup:

C:\Users\ijhpp_000\Desktop\forge 1.7.2\src\main\resources\assets\Future Weapons\textures\items

The folder name should be the same as your mod ID, and afaik your mod ID shouldn't be capital or have spaces.  Also you should do setTextureName(Reference.MODID + ":texturename"), fetching from that one central variable makes it easy to modify your mod ID and ensures you never misspell it by accident.

still isn't working. I made the modID futureweapons

 

changed code:

 

 

package FutureWeapons;

 

 

import Items.ItemPlasmaRifle;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;

 

 

/**

* This @Mod annotation tells forge that we are creating a new mod. Without this, forge wont

* find your mod. This takes 2 values, a modid, which is a "name" for your mod. This cant be the

* same for ANY mod. So find a name which is new. Version is the current mod version.

*/

@Mod(modid = Reference.MODID, version = Reference.VERSION)

public class FutureWeaponsMain

{

 

 

  public static Item Plasma_Rifle;

@EventHandler

public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)

{

        //Block handlers, handles all blocks

 

 

 

        //Item handlers, handles all items

Plasma_Rifle = new ItemPlasmaRifle();

 

RegisterHelper.registerItem(Plasma_Rifle);

Plasma_Rifle = new ItemPlasmaRifle().setUnlocalizedName("ItemPlasmaRifle").setTextureName(Reference.MODID + ":plasmarifle");

 

 

 

        //Register handler, adds all the recipes

 

}

}

 

 

thoughts?

Fixed!
