I am having problem trying to figure out how to put my Techne file into Forge to let Forge render my entity model properly.

In Techne: File -> Export -> Java

Name it something intelligent.

Move the file into your source files directories, somewhere intelligent.

Refactor the code so it stops throwing errors (Techne assumes that you plan to put this file in the net.minecraft.client.entities package, which is Wrong with a Capital W, so it throws a ton of errors that are easy to fix, provided you know anything about Java).

Register a new rendering doodad as appropriate for the kind of model you wish to render in your client proxy.

Bam, done

...

...

Yeah but what was that?

I am having trouble there

I have been successful in resolving the errors and exporting.

It depends on what you're trying to render.

 

What are you trying to render?

 

And don't say "a techne model" because that's the visual representation, not what it is.

Then Maybe I need to clarify and or need to be clarified...

 

I am planning to make a gun that shoots small bullets from it.

Then I was thinking if I could use Techne to make a model for it.

I completed the making and the export step, and solved all errors while moving into Forge.

But my entity (the bullet) dont show up , but still exists. (I saw my test subject creepers die before me.)

 

BTW do you guys need the source code?

Just in case:

 

Entity class

Render class

Model (generated from Techne) class

http://pastebin.com/S8Us219C

 

Can someone figure out how it works?

And your client proxy?

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy {

@Override

    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent e) {

RenderRegistry.RegisterRender(); // Another class in my mod. The problematic line is below:

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityTesterBolt.class, new RenderFireball(0));

        super.preInit(e);

    }

 

    @Override

    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent e) {

        super.init(e);

    }

 

    @Override

    public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent e) {

        super.postInit(e);

    }

}

Aside from having used the main mod file events...

 

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityTesterBolt.class, new RenderFireball(0));

 

RenderBolt != RenderFireball

Aside from that

Do my RenderTesterBolt have any problem?

 

I need an example for such entities.

 

EDIT: Still I cant see the bolt, but the explosion left behind.

public void renderBolt(Entity entity, double x, double y, double z, float u, float v) {
                super.doRender(entity, x, y, z, u, v);
        }

You should be rendering here. The super class isn't going to do it for you.

According to my available code, I need one more parameter to actually render the model from Model Class.

What would that be?

 

(Entity entity, float f, float f1, float f2, float f3, float f4, float f5)

(Entity entity, double x, double y, double z, float u, float v)

f5 is not paired up.

Try

0.0625F

as that is what I always use as the last parameter when doing models.

It's a scale value.  It just so happens that all models need the same scale value (1/16th) to be the right size.

I am OK with Java codes, but new to those "constants"

So what value do modders use for those "scale"?
