Heyho guys!

 

I have some problems updating my Mod to 1.8.

I need a function to render an image with a special thickness, just like Items are rendered. The shape should adjust to the texture of the item.

In 1.7 this was easy using the method

ItemRenderer.renderItemIn2D(tessellator, u, v, U, V, thickness);

In 1.8 I cannot find anything similar to this. Does anyone know how to get this to work in 1.8?

Additionally: is there a way to render this with the vanilla enchantment effect on the texture?

 

Any help is very much appreciated...

Hi

 

The "builtin/generated" items are generated using this code

ItemModelGenerator.makeItemModel() and especially func_178394_a()

 

the thickness comes from here which creates the two large flat faces:

        arraylist.add(new BlockPart(new Vector3f(0.0F, 0.0F, 7.5F), new Vector3f(16.0F, 16.0F, 8.5F), hashmap, (BlockPartRotation)null, true));

(8.5F - 7.5F = 1 texel wide)

and then func_178397_a() for all the thin "sideways" faces that make up the edges

 

I think you would need to use this code to generate your own block model for your item, probably using ISmartItemModel and perhaps ICustomModelLoader

I think it will be fairly tricky...

Thanks a lot!

I'll try to find out what I can achieve with this information.

OK, I now used the makeItemModel method directly to get a model from a resource location.

One problem: This method returns a BlockModel. How can I render this model?

I don't know myself, but If you just dig around in the code a bit you should be able to find how vanilla does it.

Oh, I have a better Idea: I do the rendering stuff myself. But I need to know, how can I get the size of a texture provided as a ResourceLocation in pixels? Any ideas?

There are various different ways of accomplishing that, but if you can convert the ResourceLocation to an IIcon, you can use IIcon.getItemHeight() and IIcon.getItemWidth()

 

EDIT: If you can retrieve an instance of the IIconRegister, you can use:

 

IIcon icon = (IIcon)IIconRegister.getAtlasSprite(ResourceLocation.toString());

I am in 1.8, there are no IIcons any more.

Oh O_O Kden, this is beyond my expertise then. have fun!

If you want to look for a file image height, see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/672916/how-to-get-image-height-and-width-using-java

if you have a resource location, you can use that to find the file, non?

OK, thanks a lot!
