Basically, I've been setting up this custom tamable mob, copying over code from the Wolf and other entities and then replacing it to what I need.

It works, except for two little details - firstly: baby mobs.

I'd like my mob to be able to breed, which it can - once I tame two and give them both fishes. They then engage to kiss and then a baby pops out...except it's not a baby and it's an adult...well the model is an adult, the bounds are for a baby, the shadow is for a baby etc... Basically it's a baby mob with the adult model. Here's my code for the createChild:

    public EntityPenguin createChild(EntityAgeable par1EntityAgeable)
    {
    	EntityPenguin entitypenguin = new EntityPenguin(this.worldObj);
        String s = this.getOwnerName();

        if (s != null && s.trim().length() > 0)
        {
        	entitypenguin.setOwner(s);
        	entitypenguin.setTamed(true);
        }

        return entitypenguin;
    }

 

And the other problem I have is the sounds. I've looked around a bunch and found some tutorials, but afaik, the sound system is different for 1.7.x, rendering all 1.6.x tutorials useless. The only one I found didn't get me too far. So if anyone has any knowledge of the sounds in 1.7.x, I'd greatly appreciate it.

 

EDIT: I have figured out the baby mobs, thanks to delpi. But I'm still unsure about the sounds, if anyone could help then that'd be awesome.

I'm guessing a bit, but I bet your model / entity isn't based upon something ageable and it isn't passing the baby variable onto the model or client.  That or your model isn't written to shrink a baby.

 

If you look at ageable, I think it will add the child variable to a datawatcher.  You might be able to jsut do that if your model is setup to render a child correctly.

Oh, I didn't even think of  that. I'll try it out.

After messing around a bit, I got the baby model working and babies are now babies

 

However I'm still wondering about the sounds.

I don't have my setup handy to give you a copy but I'll lay it out for you and you can probably find the right tutorial from there.

 

In your resources folder you need a sounds.json file which describes your sounds. Then you create a folder in your resources called "sounds" and put your .ogg files in there.

 

This video is pretty good on it if I'm remembering the right one.

Well, I have followed everything in this tutorial, but I cannot figure out how to implement it in the Entity code.

If I make it

    protected String getLivingSound() {
            return return SoundHandler.onEntityPlay("mob.penguin.say", event.player.worldObj, event.player, 1, 1);
    }

it just gives me an error

return return

 

Dude, seriously?! :-P

Yea I noticed that and fixed it, but it still gives me an error

Guess I should also say that the error is "event cannot be resolved to a variable".

I think most of your troubles are just basic Java. 

 

You want the entity to make the sound right? You might want to check out my entity custom sounds tutorial: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-forge-172-organizing-sound.html

 

From within an entity class, you should be able to play a sound simply with:

playSound("mob.bigCat.growl", getSoundVolume(), getSoundPitch())

 

And the if you extended wolf you'll want to replace the various sounds for whining and panting and such.  I think my tutorial can give you the idea.

Oh gosh, you have no idea how much you helped me.

I did go for a little work-around, which I'm not sure is necessary, but here's how I did it (for anyone else having issues).

For the living sounds I replaced getLivingSound() with this:

    public void playLivingSound()
    {
    	this.playSound(Strings.MODID + ":" + "mob.penguin.say", this.getSoundVolume(), this.getSoundPitch());
    }

And as I made the hurt/death sounds be the same as the living sounds, here's how I implemented them:

    public boolean attackEntityFrom(DamageSource par1DamageSource, float par2)
    {
    	if (this.getHealth() <= 0.0F)
        {
        	this.playSound(Strings.MODID + ":" + "mob.penguin.say", this.getSoundVolume(), this.getSoundPitch());
        }
        else
        {
        	this.playSound(Strings.MODID + ":" + "mob.penguin.say", this.getSoundVolume(), this.getSoundPitch());
        }
    }
