Wanting to use assets from other mods?

[TheSgtPunishment]

I'm just wondering if it's possible to "borrow" assets from other mods? I don't mean extract the textures and pack them with my mod, I mean in a pseudo code example

 

If(chisel2.isLoaded) {

Use textures

}

 

I've spoken to the chisel2 author / maintainer and he said something like "use getIcon() on the block"

 

But I can't seem to find any documentation on how to go about doing this.

 

Thank you for your time.

When starting up your mod you can check if other is loaded and use it's assets by modid.

 

textures are pulled like:  modid:textures/...

So if you make sure that other mod has alredy registered its textures you can use them.

 

Unless I am wrong (speculating).

 

What's your forge version btw?

My forge version is 1.7.10-10.13.2.1232, and how would I go about making sure the mod I want to use the assets from has loaded fully before mine?

Loader.isModLoaded("Chisel2")

 

The modid for Chisel 2 might be different, check in the source code.
