Hey there.  I have a block which extends BlockRedstoneWire and I'm trying to change the texture of it.  The normal methods of changing a texture don't seem to be having an effect; no matter what I name the new textures, it still always shows the normal Redstone textures.

 

EDIT:

The solution is to create a custom renderer.

So there's really no way to have a custom colored redstone wire other than using a resource pack?

Nothing is wrong with Resource Packs.  I was just hoping to keep the vanilla version and my version.

Derp me... I was misunderstanding your entire question.

You need to override registerIcons in your Block

 

That's what I've done, but it still shows up red for some reason.  Here's what the code looks like:

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon cross;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon line;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon cross_overlay;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon line_overlay;

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister registerer)
    {
        this.cross = registerer.registerIcon(ModReferences.MODID + ":redstone_dust" + "_" + "cross");
        this.line = registerer.registerIcon(ModReferences.MODID + ":redstone_dust" + "_" + "line");
        this.cross_overlay = registerer.registerIcon(ModReferences.MODID + ":redstone_dust" + "_" + "cross_overlay");
        this.line_overlay = registerer.registerIcon(ModReferences.MODID + ":redstone_dust" + "_" + "line_overlay");
this.blockIcon = this.cross;
    }

I've looked through the code to see where getRedstoneWireIcon is called, but the BlockRedstoneWire.class didn't seem to call it anywhere.

 

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static IIcon cross;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static IIcon line;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static IIcon cross_overlay;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static IIcon line_overlay;

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public IIcon getIcon(IBlockAccess world, int x, int y, int z, int meta)
{
		return this.blockIcon;
	}
    
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIcon(int par1, int par2)
    {
		return this.blockIcon;
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon func_149735_b(int par1, int par2)
    {
		return this.blockIcon;
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister registerer)
    {
        this.cross = registerer.registerIcon(ModReferences.MODID + ":redstone_dust" + "_" + "cross");
        this.line = registerer.registerIcon(ModReferences.MODID + ":redstone_dust" + "_" + "line");
        this.cross_overlay = registerer.registerIcon(ModReferences.MODID + ":redstone_dust" + "_" + "cross_overlay");
        this.line_overlay = registerer.registerIcon(ModReferences.MODID + ":redstone_dust" + "_" + "line_overlay");
this.blockIcon = this.cross;
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public static IIcon getRedstoneWireIcon(String icon)
    {
        return icon.equals("cross") ? cross : (icon.equals("line") ? line : (icon.equals("cross_overlay") ? cross_overlay :
                           (icon.equals("line_overlay") ? line_overlay : null)));
    }

 

Edit: This code didn't work either, by the way.

Ah thanks.  That makes sense.  Thanks for the help, buddy!

This class, if I am remembering correctly, is a modified version of the redstone renderer.

 

https://github.com/Draco18s/Artifacts/blob/master/main/java/com/draco18s/artifacts/client/RenderLaserBeam.java

 

It's got some alterations to handle "corners" as pluses and to render "into" glass and other transparent blocks that don't actually interrupt the beam (but in which it can't occupy due to the cellular automata nature of Minecraft).  But it might help you get started.

Oh, thanks very much Draco!  Very helpful!
