Hello,

I am sorry if the topic discussion/location is misleading in any way, this is my first post here.

To the point:

I am trying to create an entity using Eclipse and forge (Minecraft version 1.7.2). I have created the Entity class correctly, as well as registered it, because on test launching I successfully created a white box that panics like heck. I wanted to give it a model, so I followed a tutorial on creating the Render class, the Model class, and editing the ClientProxy class. That is where I am stumped, completely. Basically, when I try to do the RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler code, it errors saying its not applicable.

This is the ClientProxy class:

 

package anuwa.modGorebiscus.client;

import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import cpw.mods.fml.client.registry.RenderingRegistry;
import anuwa.modGorebiscus.EntityGorebiscus;
import anuwa.modGorebiscus.ModelGorebiscus;
import anuwa.modGorebiscus.RenderGorebiscus;
import anuwa.modGorebiscus.ServerProxy;

public class ClientProxy extends ServerProxy {
        
	@Override
	public void registerRenderThings() {
		RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityGorebiscus.class, new RenderGorebiscus(new ModelGorebiscus(), 0.0F));
        }
        
}

 

 

I also have an error in the EntityRender class. For some reason, the last part of code says "Cannot cast from Entity to Entity Gorebiscus"

This is the code:

 

package anuwa.modGorebiscus;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.client.model.ModelBase;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.RenderLiving;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import anuwa.modGorebiscus.EntityGorebiscus;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public class RenderGorebiscus extends RenderLiving
{
    private static final ResourceLocation mobTextures = new ResourceLocation(Strings.MODID + ":" + "entityGorebiscus");
    private static final String __OBFID = "CL_00000984";

    public RenderGorebiscus(ModelGorebiscus par1ModelGorebiscus, float par2)
    {
        super(par1ModelGorebiscus, par2);
    }

    /**
     * Returns the location of an entity's texture. Doesn't seem to be called unless you call Render.bindEntityTexture.
     */
    protected ResourceLocation getEntityTexture(EntityGorebiscus par1EntityGorebiscus)
    {
        return mobTextures;
    }

    /**
     * Returns the location of an entity's texture. Doesn't seem to be called unless you call Render.bindEntityTexture.
     */
    protected ResourceLocation getEntityTexture(Entity par1Entity)
    {
        return this.getEntityTexture((EntityGorebiscus)par1Entity);
    }
}

 

 

And heres the Entity class just in case:

 

package anuwa.modGorebiscus;

import net.minecraft.entity.EntityList;
import net.minecraft.entity.EnumCreatureType;
import net.minecraft.world.biome.BiomeGenBase;
import anuwa.modGorebiscus.modGorebiscus;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.EntityRegistry;

public class EntityGorebiscus {

public static void mainRegistry() {
	registerEntity();
}

public static void registerEntity() {

	createEntity(EntityGorebiscusMob.class, "Gorebiscus", 0xFFFFFF, 0x7A0000);

}

public static void createEntity(Class entityClass, String entityName, int solidColor, int spotColor) {
	int randomId = EntityRegistry.findGlobalUniqueEntityId();
	EntityRegistry.registerGlobalEntityID(entityClass, entityName, randomId);
	EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(entityClass, entityName, randomId, modGorebiscus.modInstance, 64, 1, true);
	EntityRegistry.addSpawn(entityClass, 3, 0, 1, EnumCreatureType.creature, BiomeGenBase.plains);
	createEgg(randomId, solidColor, spotColor);
}

private static void createEgg(int randomId, int solidColor, int spotColor) {
	EntityList.entityEggs.put(Integer.valueOf(randomId), new EntityList.EntityEggInfo(randomId, solidColor, spotColor));
}

}

 

 

And the main mod class:

        public static ServerProxy proxy;
        
        public static Item ItemRuby;
        public static Block OreRuby;
        public static CreativeTabs tabGorebiscus = new CreativeTabsGorebiscus("Gorebiscus");
        
        @EventHandler // used in 1.6.2
        //@PreInit    // used in 1.5.2
        public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
        		EntityGorebiscus.mainRegistry();
                ItemRuby = new ItemRuby().setUnlocalizedName("ItemRuby").setTextureName(Strings.MODID + ":" + "itemRuby");
                OreRuby = new OreRuby().setBlockName("OreRuby");
                GameRegistry.registerItem(ItemRuby, ItemRuby.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
                GameRegistry.registerBlock(OreRuby, OreRuby.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
                proxy.registerRenderThings();
        }
        
        @EventHandler // used in 1.6.2
        //@Init       // used in 1.5.2
        public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
            proxy.registerRenderThings();
        }

        public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {

        }
        
}

The model was made in Techne.

Thank you in advance, and once again, I apologize for anything wrong I did.

Hm... I seem to be just one step ahead of you. I used different methods and got no errors, but my Penguin only renders as a textureless white rectangular prism. Feel free to check out mine to see how to fix your errors. (It's the post right below!)

I looked at your post and I don't see how it was fixed.

Your entity class doesn't seem to extend any Entity class.  That is why you can't cast an Entity to it.

Agreed. My EntityPenguin has the following code:

public class EntityPenguin extends EntityAnimal {

//all of the code here

}
