getTextureFile with Metadata?

[calclavia]

What if I wanted to use the function getTextureFile but I need to know the metadata of the block? Is there a metadata sensitive version of getTextureFile?

i don't think so but you could just get the blocks meta data using  IBlockAccess.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z); or something similar.

If you look at the Universal Electricity hook for addMachine you will understand what I mean. For different metadata blocks, they use different textures.

I tried using ModLoader.addOverride for this problem, but it didn't seem to work. An error keeps saying

 

java.lang.Exception: No registry for this texture: /UniversalElectricity/ores.png

 

How would I register my texture file so that it can be overridden? What I am trying to do is to have different texture files used for different metadata in a block. I need this because my API uses different texture files from different people.

 

Forge getTextureFile seems to not be metadata sensitive. Is there a a way around this?
