[1.7.2] I need help with my texturing, It's not working

[kennybenny]

Hello, I need help with my texturing, when test run it just shows the untextured texture.

 

 

Here is my main file's code:

 

package k3.moreMetals;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;


@Mod(modid = moreMetalsMod.MODID, version = moreMetalsMod.VERSION)
public class moreMetalsMod {

public static final String MODID = "moreMetals";
public static final String VERSION = "1.0";

public static Block orePlatinum;
public static Item chunkPlatinum;

public static CreativeTabs moreMetalsTab = new CreativeTabs("moreMetalsStuff"){

@Override
	public Item getTabIconItem() {
		return Items.emerald;
	} 
};

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent preevent){

	chunkPlatinum = new Item().setUnlocalizedName("chunkPlatinum").setCreativeTab(moreMetalsTab).setTextureName(MODID + ":" + "chunkPlatinum");
	GameRegistry.registerItem(chunkPlatinum, "chunkPlatinum");

	orePlatinum = new BlockPlatOre().setBlockName("orePlatinum").setCreativeTab(moreMetalsTab).setBlockTextureName(MODID + ":" + "orePlatinum");
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(orePlatinum, "orePlatinum");
}

@EventHandler
public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){

}
}

 

 

here's the BlockPlatOre code:

 

package k3.moreMetals;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class BlockPlatOre extends Block {

public BlockPlatOre() {
	super(Material.iron);

}

}

 

 

 

 

the orePlatinum texture is  in assets.moreMetals.textures.blocks and the chunkPlatinum is in assets.moreMetals.textures.items. Also, the images are png files.

Try setting the texutre name under the 'super' constructor, and not in the preInit. It would also be nice to do the same thing with your creative tab... Your block class should look like this:

 

 

 

package k3.moreMetals;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class BlockPlatOre extends Block {

public BlockPlatOre() {
	super(Material.iron);
                this.setBlockTextureName(MODID + ":" + "orePlatinum");
                this.setCreativeTab(moreMetalsTab);

}

}

                this.setCreativeTab(moreMetalsTab);

}

}

 

 

 

Okay, now it's giving me the errors "MODID cannot be resolved to a variable" and "moreMetalsTab cannot be resolved to a variable" Do you know how to fix that?

[jtmnf]

You need to import the class moreMetalsMod! Then you do this:

 

package k3.moreMetals;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import blablabla.moreMetalsMod; //Please do ask why blablabla.moreMetalsMod doens't work!

public class BlockPlatOre extends Block {

public BlockPlatOre() {
	super(Material.iron);
                this.setBlockTextureName(moreMetalsMod.MODID + ":" + "orePlatinum");

}

}

 

And leave the Creative tab in the preInit...

public class BlockPlatOre extends Block {

public BlockPlatOre() {
	super(Material.iron);
                this.setBlockTextureName(moreMetalsMod.MODID + ":" + "orePlatinum");

}

}

 

And leave the Creative tab in the preInit...

 

Well now the block isn't showing up in the creative tab when I test it, do you know why?

[Rokuw]

By MODID i meant your actual mod id, which i think is moremetals, idk... but, if can also do as jtmnf said, to prevent typing erros...

As for the creative tab, thats because you have to take it off of the preInit and put it in the 'super' constructor, as i said...

 

[jtmnf]

Rokuw, do you mean:

 

(...)
	orePlatinum = new BlockPlatOre().setBlockName("orePlatinum").setBlockTextureName(MODID + ":" + "orePlatinum");
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(orePlatinum, "orePlatinum");
(...)

 

and

 

public class BlockPlatOre extends Block {

public BlockPlatOre() {
	super(Material.iron);
                this.setBlockTextureName(moreMetalsMod.MODID + ":" + "orePlatinum");
                this.setCreativeTab(moreMetalsMod.moreMetalsTab);
}	
}

 

This?

[Rokuw]

The second one is right, but the first one is supposed to be like this:

 

(...)
	orePlatinum = new BlockPlatOre().setBlockName("orePlatinum");
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(orePlatinum, "orePlatinum");
(...)

(no set block texture name)

 

I hope it works this way

[jtmnf]

Yeah, forget... I copy/paste that and forgot to take the Texture

[Rokuw]

Rsrsrs, thats fine, i always make something like that too

 

So anyways, Kennybenny, your block class should look like this:

 

 

package k3.moreMetals;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class BlockPlatOre extends Block {

public BlockPlatOre() {
	super(Material.iron);
                this.setBlockTextureName(moreMetalsMod.MODID + ":" + "orePlatinum");
                this.setCreativeTab(moreMetalsMod.moreMetalsTab);

}

}

 

 

And your main class should look like this:

 

 

package k3.moreMetals;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;


@Mod(modid = moreMetalsMod.MODID, version = moreMetalsMod.VERSION)
public class moreMetalsMod {

public static final String MODID = "moreMetals";
public static final String VERSION = "1.0";

public static Block orePlatinum;
public static Item chunkPlatinum;

public static CreativeTabs moreMetalsTab = new CreativeTabs("moreMetalsStuff"){

@Override
	public Item getTabIconItem() {
		return Items.emerald;
	} 
};

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent preevent){

	chunkPlatinum = new Item().setUnlocalizedName("chunkPlatinum")
	GameRegistry.registerItem(chunkPlatinum, "chunkPlatinum");

	orePlatinum = new BlockPlatOre().setBlockName("orePlatinum");
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(orePlatinum, "orePlatinum");
}

@EventHandler
public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event){

}
}

Also, as you're not using fml init, you can just delete it, but that's up to you, since it makes no difference...

 

I also noticed that you have an item called 'chunkPlatinum' and i bet that its texture isn't working aswell (i think you mentioned it, i don't remember)... I already fixed it in the preInit, just don't forget to set the texture name and creative tab in the 'super' method....

[kennybenny]

The second one is right, but the first one is supposed to be like this:

 

(...)
	orePlatinum = new BlockPlatOre().setBlockName("orePlatinum");
	GameRegistry.registerBlock(orePlatinum, "orePlatinum");
(...)

(no set block texture name)

 

I hope it works this way

 

Nope, still not working, just a checkered purple and black block, the images are 16x16, just saying, it might help.

[Rokuw]

Did you set the texture name in your block class as it is in my spoiler tag?

(if you don't know, just click the 'hidden' button and you'll see the code that works)

[kennybenny]

Yeah, I copy-pasted it all. I'll take some screenshots and if somebody can tell me how to use the insert image thing on the forum (I'm a big noob on the forum) then I can post them.

[jtmnf]

 

You might have this setup wrong (this is how I did to texture a block and it worked fine)!

[kennybenny]

I think I have the same setup,

there it is

[Rokuw]

I could post my code, but i use internal classes, and you're using public ones, and that would confuse you, i think.... If you want so, just say...

 

As for your problem, could you post your "new" classes, please?

[jtmnf]

Can I see a printscreen of your package explorer, please? I cannot see the end of the assets.mod.textures...

[kennybenny]

Here you go: http://i.imgur.com/00zvEF3.png

[jtmnf]

I'm not tracking the error there :\ Tomorrow I'll see with other eyes if the error wasn't founded yet!

I'll check during the day what kind of problems might cause that... For now I'm not really seeing what's wrong :\

[kennybenny]

Well, thanks, hope you can look tomorrow.

[jtmnf]

This is my code (I'll only paste the important ones):

 

MainClass

 

public class MainClass
{
    public static final String MODID = "techmodcraft";
    public static final String VERSION = "1.0";

    public static CreativeTabs testTab = new CreativeTabs("techmodcraft") {
        @Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	return Items.diamond;
}
    };

    public static Block blockTest;
    
    @EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event){
    	blockTest = new BlockTech().setBlockName("blockTest").setCreativeTab(testTab);
    	GameRegistry.registerBlock(blockTest, "blockTest");
    }

 

BlockTech

 

public class BlockTech extends Block{

public BlockTech() {
	super(Material.rock);
	this.setBlockTextureName(MainClass.MODID + ":" + "blockTest");
}
}

 

In the Package Explorer I have:

- Forge > src/TechModCraft:

    > assets.techmodcraft.textures.blocks > (this has the images of blocks)

    > net.techmodcraft.mod.block > (this has the .java classes)

 

If you don't find any error by comparing with my setup, try to re-create the project... That might help!

 

I'll continue to see this...

It's still not working, do you have any tutorials that are any different from what I was already doing?

 

[jtmnf]

No :\I have made exactly like you...

 

Video:

I picked up parts of the video and they worked well...

[kennybenny]

Hmmmmm... When you said net.techmodcraft.mod.block, what did the "mod" and "block" mean?

[jtmnf]

Nothing at all... .mod says that this is the mod, .block says that this is the package of blocks...
