[1.7.2] How to make custom Glass panes

[Copinman]

Hi everybody

 

Can anyone please tell how to do custom panes like glass and iron panes, I try with getRenderType 2 but panes can connect each other

 

Thanks 

[TheGreyGhost]

Hi

 

I don't really understand your question, could you perhaps explain with a few screenshots what you want, compared with what you're currently getting?

Would it not be easier to extend GlassPane and just overwrite the material and texture?

[Copinman]

sorry, about my bad explanation

 

Here's a screenshot

I want that my panes connect each other, you can see in the pic that panes don't connect

 

Thanks

Please give me a example how to do it

[hugo_the_dwarf]

Thinking about it you might not even need a new class (unless you want it to have custom properties/functions)

 

Static Block newGlassPane;

 

newGlassPane = new BlockPane("glass", "glass_pane_top", Material.glass, false);

//First String 'glass' is the side textures, Second String 'glass_pane_top' is the top and bottom, maybe even rims, then the Material, the boolean i'm not sure but leave it as false. I haven't looked into the class too much to see it's use.

 

so you could so your own with this:

 

Static Block myPaneClone;

myPaneClone = new BlockPane("stone", "cobblestone", Material.rock, false).setHardness(1.5F).setResistance(10.0F).setStepSound(soundTypePiston).setBlockName("stoneSheet");

 

but like I said if you need to have custom functionality you can create a new class that "extends BlockPane" and overwrite the methods you need

Hi, I try it doing that way

 

  @EventHandler

    public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event){

  newGlassPane = new BlockPane("glass", "glass_pane_top", Material.glass, false);

    }

 

But eclipse give me an error "The constructor BlockPane(String, String, Material, boolean) is not visible"

 

How can I fix this?

 

[hugo_the_dwarf]

I tried it, saw the same issue, for some reason BlockPane's constructor is "protected" not sure if that is a forge 'oops' or what.

 

so what I had to do was extend BlockPane then use that like so:

 

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

public class BlockPaneRot extends BlockPane
{
        //NOTE when you have eclipse make the constructor for you it *WILL BE 'protected'* so make sure to make this public like below.
public BlockPaneRot(String flatFaceTextureName, String rimTextureName,
		Material mat, boolean bool) {
	super(flatFaceTextureName, rimTextureName, mat, bool);
	// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

}

 

now you can call your mimic of BlockPaneXYZ toss in the textures and set the values of what you want.

 

defining it:

public static Block myPane;

-----

myPane = new BlockPaneRot("stone", "cobblestone", Material.rock, false).setHardness(1.5F).setResistance(10.0F).setBlockName("stoneSheet");

-----

GameRegistry.registerBlock(myPane, 
			myPane.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

Hi, hugo_the_dwarf

 

I did the same as you type here But the game crashes

Maybe Forge Team need to fix this problem

[larsgerrits]

You are using the GameRegistry.registerBlock with a null object. That's not a forge bug.

[coolboy4531]

This can happen if you call GameRegistry#registerBlock before you actually initialize your object.

[Copinman]

Can anyone help me with that... Im very new on modding minecraft

 

Thanks

[Copinman]

This can happen if you call GameRegistry#registerBlock before you actually initialize your object.

 

How can I register it without any crash? Please

[hugo_the_dwarf]

What he means is you are registering the block before you actually make it.

 

like GameRegister(MyBLock,"name")

then you try to say MyBlock = newBlock;

 

can't do that. define the object then register it.

 

Look at the order of this:

public static Block myPane;

-----

myPane = new BlockPaneRot("stone", "cobblestone", Material.rock, false).setHardness(1.5F).setResistance(10.0F).setBlockName("stoneSheet");

-----

GameRegistry.registerBlock(myPane, 
			myPane.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));

why is the myPane the only one tossed into Load? put it up with the rest

Remove construct MainClass()  - the thing below

public MainClass() {}

 

First things first, you should always initalize your stuff in PreInit, never in Init (in your case, load).

Move all the block registration methods (GameRegistry#registerBlock) from your construct MainClass() to PreInit, be sure to put it after you initialize the object (which is myPane)!

Hi  , what did you mean about initialize stuf in PreInit you mean my block registration methods ?

I use BlockPaneRot as a separated class and imported here

 

Here's BlockPaneRot.java

 

package com.copinman.MoreBlocks.block;

 

import net.minecraft.block.BlockPane;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

 

public class BlockPaneRot extends BlockPane

{

        //NOTE when you have eclipse make the constructor for you it *WILL BE 'protected'* so make sure to make this public like below.

public BlockPaneRot(String flatFaceTextureName, String rimTextureName,

Material mat, boolean bool) {

super(flatFaceTextureName, rimTextureName, mat, bool);

// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

}

 

}

 

But still can connect panes each other

 

 

//5 Minutes After UPDATE 

 

Finally Works!!!!!!!!!!  

 

I was very confused with much code... 

 

I find my custom pane on decorations tab and Yes it can connect each other and with other kind of glasses

 

Thank you so much guys for all support you give me

 

And for new users like me that want to make custom panes, here's the way to do it
