[1.8] Mixing items' textures

[ElDome]

Hello gurus 

 

Did a quick search, but found nothing on this topic, that's why i'm opening this thread. Obviously i beg for pardon in advance, in case of duplicate argument.

 

I'm almost finished with my mod, and obviously i started thinking at extensions. There's a an element of trouble that's worrying me: during development i experimented a mix-mess with textures. Installing a newer items set (by installing a newer version of the mod) on an old test world, it always pops out mixing old and new textures. Not such a problem, unless you don't think to release extended versions of the mod: didn't test on my server yet, but i'm almost sure about the fact installing a newer version would crap off my world.

 

Did it happen to anyone else?

 

Is it just me?

 

Is there any fix/workaround to make the textures rendering stable across different releases?

 

Thanks a lot

Hi

 

Are you using the latest Forge 1.8?  This happened to me as well and it was a bug in forge that they fixed at least a month ago.

Well, to be honest don't remember if i dloaded the new version of forge before or after  a month ago.

 

I will surely give a try updating it.

 

I never updated forge (i'm an almost total n00b). Is there any easy way to update clients/servers/workspace, or should i erase all (except for worlds) and reinstall?

What I've done that worked for me:

 

In the build.gradle file, you'll find a version number

eg

minecraft {
    version = "1.8-11.14.0.1285-1.8"  

Change it to the version number you want, re-run

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace eclipse

or

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace idea

 

and you're done.  Backup first if you're not using github or similar.

You're saving my life, pal

 

I'll try.

 

Next step: understanding how to update forge on clients/server but i guess rerunning latest forge installer on both sides could do the trick. Am i wrong?

Well, saving you a few frustrating hours maybe

 

By the way - forge 1.8 is out of beta now!

I'm a professional programmer. I "stay frustrated" a significant amount of my lifetime, so any little help about instantly raises to the "LIFESAVIOUR" gratitude level. Believe me

 

Thanks a HUGE lot
