[1.7.2] Localization (Language Files)

[vandy22]

In the new update I'm making a simple mod, and right now the problem is I cant get the language file to work. Heres how I have it saved:

 

src/main/resources/assets/colormod/lang/en_US.lang

 

here is my lang file:

item.greenPickaxe.name =Green Pickaxe

 

and here is my mod file:

package com.mjj.colormod;

import com.mjj.colormod.handler.ItemHandler;
import com.mjj.colormod.items.GreenPickaxe;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.Item.ToolMaterial;
import net.minecraftforge.common.util.EnumHelper;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

@Mod(modid = ColorMod.modid , version = ColorMod.version)
public class ColorMod 
{
public static final String modid = "colormod";
public static final String version = "1.7.2";


        @EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
{
	//Item handler, handles all items
		ItemHandler.loadItems();
}
}

 

Heres my pickaxe code:

package com.mjj.colormod.items;

import com.mjj.colormod.ColorMod;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemPickaxe;

public class GreenPickaxe extends ItemPickaxe
{
public GreenPickaxe(ToolMaterial material) 
{
	super(material);
	setUnlocalizedName("greenPickaxe");
	setTextureName(ColorMod.modid + ":" + getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
	setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabTools);
}
}

 

And just in case you need it here is my ItemHandler:

package com.mjj.colormod.handler;

import com.mjj.colormod.items.GreenPickaxe;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraft.item.Item.ToolMaterial;
import net.minecraftforge.common.util.EnumHelper;

public class ItemHandler 
{
//Tools
public static Item greenPickaxe;

//Items

//Armor

//Materials
static ToolMaterial greenMaterial = EnumHelper.addToolMaterial("greenMaterial", 2, 255, 6.0F, 2.0F, 15);

public static void loadItems()
{
	//Tools
	greenPickaxe = new GreenPickaxe(greenMaterial);

	GameRegistry.registerItem(greenPickaxe, "greenPickaxe");

	//Items

	//Armor

}
}

 

The problem is in game the weapon name is: item.greenPickaxe.name

 

As far as I know I have everything correct, thats why im confused. If you need anymore of my code posted please respond and I will send it. Thanks

item.greenPickaxe.name =Green Pickaxe

 

Have you tried

item.greenPickaxe.name=Green Pickaxe

(without the space before the equals).

Thank you it worked  . Such a dumb mistake

Thank you it worked  . Such a dumb mistake

 

Actually it is a dumb implementation -- it shouldn't be sensitive to final white space near the = assignment.  Pretty much every person does this wrong the first time, and then again later when they forget.

[Kwibble]

Yes, it is quite annoying. But then again...

 

At any rate, it could be implemented a bit better, that is for sure.
