Hello everybody

 

While trying to make a cable block, I wanted to make the itemblock for the cable, so it could render in the inventory (because the bock has a special rendering). But whatever I do, the texture doesn't seem to wanna work. I checked if the texture was recognized, it was, but why isn't it being used?

 

ItemBlockCable

package com.invizzble.SC.item;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemBlock;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import com.invizzble.SC.lib.Info;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class ItemBlockCable extends ItemBlock{

long hexaString;

public ItemBlockCable(Block block, Long red, Long green, Long blue) {
	super(block);
	hexaString = Long.valueOf(Long.toHexString(red)+Long.toHexString(green)+Long.toHexString(blue), 16);
}

//	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
//	@Override
//	public int getColorFromItemStack(ItemStack stack, int par1) {
//		return (int)hexaString;
//	}
//	
@Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerIcons(IIconRegister iconRegister)
    {
        itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon(Info.MOD_ID+":cable");
    }
}

registering

		GameRegistry.registerBlock(copperCable, ItemBlockCable.class, "copperCable", (long)255, (long)255, (long)255);

 

Anyway, thanks for reading.

Thanks man, that worked! I feel such a noob right now.
