How would I make and item that I could set the color with a hex value. (Like leather armor does.).

 

I have a basic item using a gray scale texture what would I need to add.

 

Notice! I have looking in ItemArmor and at how grass does it but no luck with it.

 

Not asking for the code just a step in the right direction.

there is a method for items called "getColorFromItemStack"

 

you then return the hex value you want (or the decimal conversion if it, but I find it easier to just use 0xFFFFFF or the likes)

 

the two params are itemstack and renderpass

That's the thing that does nothing even if you tell it to return a hex code no matter what.

Odd, because it works for me:

 

public class ItemCrossbowRepater extends Item
{
//A weapon that will use the player's stamina reserves to fire weak arrows
//It has different functions with different effects
//Will be reworked hard when a proper leveling system is created
//See notes on this.
private IIcon[] icons = new IIcon[2];

public ItemCrossbowRepater()
{
	setFull3D();
	setMaxDamage(0);
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IIconRegister ir) 
{
	/*for (int i = 0;i < textures.length; i++)
	{
		textures[i] = ir.registerIcon(Rot.MODID+":"+"relicLife_"+i);
	}*/
	icons[0] = ir.registerIcon(Rot.MODID+":"+"cbr");
	icons[1] = ir.registerIcon(Rot.MODID+":"+"cbr_overLay");
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public int getColorFromItemStack(ItemStack par1ItemStack, int par2)
{
	if (par2 == 0)return 0xFFFFFF;
	else
	{
		switch (par1ItemStack.getItemDamage())
		{
			case 0:
				return 0xFFFFFF;
			case 1:
				return 0xFF622E;
			case 2:
				return 0x4DC9FF;
			case 3 :
				return 0xFFE263;
			default:
				return 0xFFFFFF;
		}
	}
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public boolean requiresMultipleRenderPasses()
{
	return true;
}

@Override
public int getRenderPasses(int metadata)
{
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return 2;
}

@Override
public IIcon getIcon(ItemStack stack, int pass)
{
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	return icons[pass];
}

 

Maybe it only works with multiple render passed items?

I will post code when I get back from school. Maybe its because I don't have an over lay.

That crashes my game with a null pointer here icons[0] = ir.registerIcon(Main.MODID+":"+"ingot");

 

Code is at https://github.com/chibill/Additional-Weapons-Armor 

@Override

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void registerIcons(IIconRegister ir)

{

                icons = new IIcon[2];

icons[0] = ir.registerIcon(Main.MODID+":"+"ingot");

icons[1] = ir.registerIcon(Main.MODID+":"+"ingot");

}

 

define the array as the size you want also I wonder if you can trick it by not using two by overriding

 

@Override

public int getRenderPasses(int metadata)

{

return 1;

}

 

so it only does one pass, that way it will most likely be less hungry for double rendering for no reason

Still getting on NPE on  icons[0] = ir.registerIcon(Main.MODID+":"+"ingot");

Never mind got it working! : )
