[1.6.4] External textures, Icon object

[Sanquira]

Hi I want to use some textures from external source. I's image downloaded everytime i run minecraft.

 

There is no problem with downloading part, but i have only Image or ImageIcon object. I don't know how to get minecraft Icon object. Is possible to convert it?

 

Thanks for help

Hi

 

Minecraft takes the image for each icon and stitches it into a single texture sheet (one for items, one for blocks).  You can do this yourself I think, by overriding TextureAtlasSprite and registering that instead of a vanilla icon - overriding loadSprite and/or getFrameTextureData.  (not sure of the details - try digging into TextureMap.loadTextureAtlas to watch what happens with each vanilla icon (->TextureAtlasSprite.loadSprite)).

 

Alternatively, bind the texture yourself and use the Tessellator to render the texture.  (Do you know what I mean there?)
