[Solved]Loading Ores/ Materials from other mods.

[Jade_Knightblazer]

Looking for a way to use other Ores and materials from outside mods, in custom crafting recipes.

 

Do I have to use a string variable approach?

 

Or do I have to have the other mod in my Eclipse work station? Then just make sure Users have both mods installed else they will crash.

Is this the general idea of what you're thinking of?

Yes that is what I am looking for

 

However I seem to not be able to use it how I like. I am trying to use this code to make sure a certain Item is in the Players inventory. In this case its an item for my other mod. HSSoul.

 

if (livingmetalAura <= 0 && entityplayer.inventory.hasItem(OreDictionary.getOreID("HSSoul")))
{
for (int BD = 0; BD < 1; BD++)
{
	roll = diceRoller.nextInt(100) + 1;
	}
	if (roll >= 0)
	{
		System.out.println("Ate a Soul");
		livingmetalAura = 30;
	}
}

 

However that code does not work =/

 

I do have my OreDic setup like this on my mod_HarkenScythe. in my @Init

OreDictionary.registerOre("HSSoul", new ItemStack(HSSoul));
        OreDictionary.registerOre("HSLivingmetalIngot", new ItemStack(HSLivingmetalIngot));

 

Normally I could use this. mod_HarkenScythe.common.mod_HarkenScythe.HSSoul.shiftedIndex, but that is only if the mods are already together.

 

Which if mod_HarkenScythe is not in my Eclipse Work Project or install with my mod_AsgardShield. The game will crash. (expected)

 

I wish to allow both mods to be stand alone, and have mod_AsgardShield check if the item from the other mod is in the inventory w/o Hard Coding.

 

Maybe I am just linking them wrong or OreDic can only be used in crafting? Not as a way to see if other items are around.

Figured it out, I just did a back door way .

 

I have a special AddonsConfig.java that holds all my ItemIDs and such... well.... I just placed an Empty Item in there.

 

Then I have my ASAddonHarkenScythe.java, load a simple line:

ASAddonConfig.ASAddHSSoul = mod_HarkenScythe.common.mod_HarkenScythe.HSSoul; In its @Init. Since this mod addon has to be installed with the Mod HarkenScythe anyways.

 

That that in my Mod AsgardShield I simply reference the ASAddonConfig.ASAddHSSoul. Now I just have to be sure to catch any null pointers
