I am currently making a mod that reads a text file, creates blocks specified in it and uses the aproppriate texture. The first part is done, but I can't get to make it load the texture. I tried copying the texture file at load into .minecraft/assets/SimpleBlockAdder/textures/blocks/.... but it will not work.How can I make Block.setBlockTextureName() take an absolute/realitve path/a File object?

 

BTW: Code is here https://github.com/MRebhan/SimpleBlockAdder/

Hi

 

What I did for a couple of textures:

put file in

resources/assets/mymod/textures/other/mytexturename.png

and in my class

  private final ResourceLocation ringTexture = new ResourceLocation("mymod", "textures/other/mytexturename.png");

 

-TGG

That puts it into the jar on compile. I want that you can dl the mod with no textures at all and you can put textures and block definitions into the sba/ directory.

You need to do something with reflection to add a new IResourcePack to the default resource pack list, but I forget where, what, and how.

Hmm.. I've made that it creates jar file on preInit, puts it into the mod list of Forge. The directories of the files in the .jar are /assets/simpleblockadder/textures/blocks/*.png. That SHOULD work right? What have I done wrong? Code is here: https://github.com/MRebhan/SimpleBlockAdder/blob/master/java/defence/mc/sba/SimpleBlockAdder.java at ~line 50

Tried some more, still doesn't work D: It just doesn't realise the texture is there

Instead of making a jar, try making a resource pack. That should work better. I hope.
