Blocks, Localized Names, Prepending To Them

[Draco18s 2414]

So I have a block class that I'm using to replace other blocks (it adds falling behavior per a small set of rules).  Rather than construct a unique class for each original block I'm replacing I have one class.

 

I'd like to be able to set the (un)localized name in such a way that I can utilize the original block's localized name and prepend an adjective (in this case, Unstable) so that the block has a unique name in-game.

 

As far as I can tell, I can't do this.  I can create an ItemBlock class which can take the block class's formatted unlocalized name and split into pieces and return some localization, but....

 

It's still considered unlocalized, gets ".name" appended to the end, and is run through the language dictionary again.

 

Is there some subversion I'm missing or am I going to have to suck it up and add all the localizations myself, rather than one line "adj.unstable=Unstable" and let the other half be done for its already existent localization?

You'll have to override getItemStackDisplayName in your Item and do the translation yourself. Something like this:

 

StatCollector.translateToLocalFormatted("mymod.unstable", someItemStack.getItem().getItemStackDisplayName(someItemStack));

 

And in your lang file:

 

mymod.unstable=Unstable %s

Ah ha, there we go.  I was trying to back-track the calls to figure out where the extraneous ".name" was coming from, should have gone down the stack trace a little more.

 

I know how to do the translation (I've used

StatCollector.translateToLocal

before), it was more a matter of which function to override where.  And this is for blocks, so it'll be in the ItemBlock class, ya?

Yes.

Being away from the codebase makes checking stuff hard.

Thanks again.  I'll....get back to it....eventually
