I started a thread asking how to use an .obj model for a block. It didn't get any replies, so I tryed to code it myself. Using this tutorial as a reference: https://emxtutorials.wordpress.com/using-wavefront-obj-models-for-blocks/

 

It didn't render, leaving the only a blank spot in the world to indicate that it was even there:

 

I can't break it, there is no wire-frame thingy.

 

There is probably something I'm doing wrong, I wouldn't know. No one gave me any guidelines.

 

Honestly when I tested it, I expected it to crash.

 

Here's my code:

 

 

The Block:

public class LuminaOrb extends BlockContainer{

    public LuminaOrb(Material material) {
        super(material);

        this.setBlockName("luminaOrb");
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
    }

    @Override
    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World world, int par2) {
        return new TileEntityLuminaOrb();
    }
}

 

The TileEntity:

public class TileEntityLuminaOrb extends TileEntity {
    public float rotation = 0;

    @Override
    public void updateEntity(){
        if (worldObj.isRemote) rotation += 0.5;
    }

 

The TileEntitySpecialRenderer:

public class LuminaOrbRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {
    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float timeSinceLastTick) {
        ResourceLocation texture = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrbTexture");
        ResourceLocation objModelLocation = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrb");

        TileEntityLuminaOrb orb = (TileEntityLuminaOrb) te;
        float scale = 1F;
        float rotation = orb.rotation + (timeSinceLastTick / 2F);

        bindTexture(texture);

        IModelCustom model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(objModelLocation);

        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);
        GL11.glRotatef(rotation, 0F, 1F, 0.5F);
        model.renderAll();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }
}

 

My ClientProxy:

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy {
    public static void registerRenderers(){
        ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntityLuminaOrb.class, new LuminaOrbRenderer());
    }
}

 

 

 

If you need more code just ask!

All custom rendered blocks must have these methods (techne model or obj, doesn't matter) (in block class):

renderAsNormalBlock - return false;

getRenderType - return -1;

isOpaqueCube - return false;

I did that and it's still invisible:

Now to model rendering:

Wait, no, you're destroying 25 fps!!!! Correct this right now!!!

Make resource locations - fields in class and define them in constructor, like that, no need to reload them 120 times / second...

( i mean that each time you do new resourceLocation, it loads it from drive)

Do same thing with model...

 

Now to model:

Do you think that creating new model loader will render it? no

So - just call: model.renderAll, to render all... Seriously, couldn't you just look in ICustomModel

So, like this?

public class LuminaOrbRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {
    ResourceLocation texture = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrbTexture");
    ResourceLocation objModelLocation = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrb");
    IModelCustom model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(objModelLocation);

    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float timeSinceLastTick) {
        TileEntityLuminaOrb orb = (TileEntityLuminaOrb) te;
        float scale = 1F;
        float rotation = orb.rotation + (timeSinceLastTick / 2F);

        bindTexture(texture);

        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);
        GL11.glRotatef(rotation, 0F, 1F, 0.5F);
        model.renderAll();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }
}

Sorry, but do you now what constructor is???

This will also work, but better go like this:

public class TERenderer {
private ResourceLocation loc;
public TERenderer(){
loc = new ResourceLocation(Constructor.MODID, "this is constructor");
}

Oh, I see what you mean now. Yes I know what a constructor is, I just misunderstood I guess.

 

Ok, so you mean like this?

public class LuminaOrbRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {
    ResourceLocation texture;
    ResourceLocation objModelLocation;
    IModelCustom model;

    public LuminaOrbRenderer(){
        texture = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrbTexture");
        objModelLocation = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrb");
        model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(objModelLocation);
    }

    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float timeSinceLastTick) {
        TileEntityLuminaOrb orb = (TileEntityLuminaOrb) te;
        float scale = 1F;
        float rotation = orb.rotation + (timeSinceLastTick / 2F);

        bindTexture(texture);

        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);
        GL11.glRotatef(rotation, 0F, 1F, 0.5F);
        model.renderAll();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }
}

Yes. Try it.

 

, also i think that texture bind happens inside push/pop, outside will work too...

There's a crash now:

It says resource name invalid or something.

Ok, now, antoher thing that i forgot about resource locations: you need to precise file extension in the end of name, or it will not be found...

Still invisible, but now the block below it is dark:

Still invisible, but now the block below it is dark:

1) try to fly around and look in different angles from ddieffernt distance. Place block in midair...

2) Your final relevant code, if you can...

1) Nope. I have now tried flying at different angles. All sides are invisible.

2) Here's my new code:

 

 

Renderer:

public class LuminaOrbRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {
    ResourceLocation texture;
    ResourceLocation objModelLocation;
    IModelCustom model;

    public LuminaOrbRenderer(){
        texture = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrbTexture.png");
        objModelLocation = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrb.obj");
        model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(objModelLocation);
    }

    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float timeSinceLastTick) {
        TileEntityLuminaOrb orb = (TileEntityLuminaOrb) te;
        float scale = 1F;
        float rotation = orb.rotation + (timeSinceLastTick / 2F);

        bindTexture(texture);

        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);
        GL11.glRotatef(rotation, 0F, 1F, 0.5F);
        model.renderAll();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }
}

 

Tile Entity:

public class TileEntityLuminaOrb extends TileEntity {
    public float rotation = 0;

    @Override
    public void updateEntity(){
        if (worldObj.isRemote) rotation += 0.5;
    }
}

 

Block:

public class LuminaOrb extends BlockContainer{

    public LuminaOrb(Material material) {
        super(material);

        this.setBlockName("luminaOrb");
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean renderAsNormalBlock(){
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public int getRenderType(){
        return -1;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isOpaqueCube(){
        return false;
    }

    @Override
    public TileEntity createNewTileEntity(World world, int par2) {
        return new TileEntityLuminaOrb();
    }
}

 

ClientProxy (Where I register the renderer):

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy {
    public static void registerRenderers(){
        ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntityLuminaOrb.class, new LuminaOrbRenderer());
    }
}

 

Main class (calls registerRenderers()):

@EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        log.info(LOGPREFIX + " " + LangUtil.tranlate("log.init.text"));
        ClientProxy.registerRenderers();

        GameRegistry.registerBlock(luminaOrb, "luminaOrb");
    }

 

 

 

If you need more code just ask.

1) Nope. I have now tried flying at different angles. All sides are invisible.

2) Here's my new code:

 

 

Renderer:

public class LuminaOrbRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {
    ResourceLocation texture;
    ResourceLocation objModelLocation;
    IModelCustom model;

    public LuminaOrbRenderer(){
        texture = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrbTexture.png");
        objModelLocation = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrb.obj");
        model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(objModelLocation);
    }

    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float timeSinceLastTick) {
        TileEntityLuminaOrb orb = (TileEntityLuminaOrb) te;
        float scale = 1F;
        float rotation = orb.rotation + (timeSinceLastTick / 2F);

        bindTexture(texture);

        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);
        GL11.glRotatef(rotation, 0F, 1F, 0.5F);
        model.renderAll();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }
}

 

Tile Entity:

public class TileEntityLuminaOrb extends TileEntity {
    public float rotation = 0;

    @Override
    public void updateEntity(){
        if (worldObj.isRemote) rotation += 0.5;
    }
}

 

Block:

public class LuminaOrb extends BlockContainer{

    public LuminaOrb(Material material) {
        super(material);

        this.setBlockName("luminaOrb");
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
    }

ClientProxy (Where I register the renderer):

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy {
    public static void registerRenderers(){
        ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntityLuminaOrb.class, new LuminaOrbRenderer());
    }
}

 

Main class (calls registerRenderers()):

@EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        log.info(LOGPREFIX + " " + LangUtil.tranlate("log.init.text"));
        ClientProxy.registerRenderers();

        GameRegistry.registerBlock(luminaOrb, "luminaOrb");
    }

 

 

 

If you need more code just ask.

Hmm... I think... What will be easier for you: send me obj model or zipped src folder... or significant advancements has github repository???

Well, at the moment I'm not working on Significant Advancements, but the mod I am working on (Lumina) has a GitHub repository yes. Here it is: https://github.com/AwesomeSpider/Lumina

If you need anything else just ask.

Okay, i downloaded project and started debugging...

1) Proxys problems...:

  1. never do static method in proxys, always not static. And call them not from main method like ClientProxy.rr, because it will crash on server. Proxy anotation is made for it: you call proxy.rr and method will be called on good proxy (client-client, server-server), that's why you have client proxy extending server proxy (you have it! but not non static methods)

2) Material.air:

    Go look in WorldRenderer.class, and you will see that blocks with air material are not rendered at all. So why it wasn't rendering???

3) I had to GL11.glScaled(0.05, 0.05, 0.05); in order to fit in render zone. Why this happens: a) too big model (remember: 1 meter in blender = 1 block) b) that's normal...

Now it's rendered more or less correctly. Do you want me to fork on github, or send you modified src???

I think I can fix it myself. If I can't you can fork the repository.

Okay, i'll fork it (because i made some more changes, that i forgot to mention, like not registered tile entity, not made item renderer...)

 

Edit: nope, forking isn't what i want. And i think i can't contribute to it too... (i'm not familliar with github). So tell my if you will still need working version...

Ok, using what you said, I sort of fixed it:

 

But as you can see it has no texture. It also follows my screen which is extremely weird.

 

Here's the new code:

 

 

The Renderer:

public class LuminaOrbRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {
    ResourceLocation texture;
    ResourceLocation objModelLocation;
    IModelCustom model;

    public LuminaOrbRenderer(){
        texture = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrbTexture.png");
        objModelLocation = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrb.obj");
        model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(objModelLocation);
    }

    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float timeSinceLastTick) {
        TileEntityLuminaOrb orb = (TileEntityLuminaOrb) te;
        float scale = 0.05F;
        float rotation = orb.rotation + (timeSinceLastTick / 2F);

        bindTexture(texture);

        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);
        GL11.glRotatef(rotation, 0F, 1F, 0.5F);
        model.renderAll();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }
}

 

ClientProxy:

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy {
    public void registerRenderers(){
        GameRegistry.registerTileEntity(TileEntityLuminaOrb.class, "tileLuminaOrb");
        ClientRegistry.bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer(TileEntityLuminaOrb.class, new LuminaOrbRenderer());
    }
}

 

Main class:

@Mod(modid = Lumina.MODID, version = Lumina.VERSION)
public class Lumina {
    public static final String MODID = "lumina";
    public static final String VERSION = "0.0.1";
    public static final String LOGPREFIX = "[Lumina]";

    @SidedProxy(clientSide = "awesomespider.lumina.ClientProxy", serverSide = "awesomespider.lumina.CommonProxy")
    public static CommonProxy proxy;

    public static Logger log;

    public static File dataFolder;
    public static File configFile;

    public static BlockContainer luminaOrb;

    @EventHandler
    public void preinit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
       log =  event.getModLog();
       log.info(LOGPREFIX + " " + LangUtil.tranlate("log.preinit.text"));
        dataFolder = event.getModConfigurationDirectory();
        configFile = event.getSuggestedConfigurationFile();

        try {
            ConfigUtil.initialize();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        //Initialize Blocks
        luminaOrb = new LuminaOrb(Material.rock);
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        log.info(LOGPREFIX + " " + LangUtil.tranlate("log.init.text"));
        proxy.registerRenderers();

        GameRegistry.registerBlock(luminaOrb, "luminaOrb");
    }

    @EventHandler
    public void postinit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
        log.info(LOGPREFIX + " " + LangUtil.tranlate("log.postinit.text"));
    }
}

 

 

 

Oh and by the way, I'm not very experienced with GitHub either, but I think it's a pull request you want.

I was able to make it smaller (what I want), but it still follows my screen:

[/img]

And the texture is still not working.

Hint: when modding/debugging , look in console, because some times there are some usefull stuff... Like FileNotFoundException...

Well, I fixed the texture, it was named lightOrbTexture.png instead of luminaOrbTexture.png. But it still follows my mouse.

What would cause this? Here's the code I changed:

 

Renderer:

public class LuminaOrbRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer {
    ResourceLocation texture;
    ResourceLocation objModelLocation;
    IModelCustom model;

    public LuminaOrbRenderer(){
        texture = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrbTexture.png");
        objModelLocation = new ResourceLocation(Lumina.MODID, "models/LuminaOrb.obj");
        model = AdvancedModelLoader.loadModel(objModelLocation);
    }

    @Override
    public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity te, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float timeSinceLastTick) {
        TileEntityLuminaOrb orb = (TileEntityLuminaOrb) te;
        float scale = 0.02F;
        float rotation = orb.rotation + (timeSinceLastTick / 2F);

        bindTexture(texture);

        GL11.glPushMatrix();
        GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);
        GL11.glTranslatef((float) posX, (float) posY, (float) posZ);
        GL11.glRotatef(rotation, 0F, 1F, 0.5F);
        model.renderAll();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }
}

        model.renderAll();
        GL11.glPopMatrix();
    }
}

Well, this is the one problem that i couldn't debug... How ever other models are working for me in another mod... Try to change orb to cube model and see if it changes... If not - i did what i could, sorry... Try to google then...
