[1.8] [SOLVED]Custom mob - how to use a RenderManager

[Brickfix]

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom mob, and I want to know how to use a RenderManager or what this even is. I have only found tutorials and sourcecode from 1.7.10, and apperantly a RenderManager is something added in 1.8

 

Here is my ClientProxy:

package com.brickfix.roleplaymod;

import com.brickfix.roleplaymod.entity.EntityTestMob;
import com.brickfix.roleplaymod.rendering.TestMobRenderer;

import net.minecraft.client.model.ModelBiped;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.client.registry.RenderingRegistry;

public class ClientProxy extends CommonProxy
{
@Override
public void registerRenderThings()
{
	RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityTestMob.class,[u] new TestMobRenderer[/u](new ModelBiped(), 0));
}

}

 

Here is my TestMobRenderer

package com.brickfix.roleplaymod.rendering;

import net.minecraft.client.model.ModelBase;
import net.minecraft.client.model.ModelBiped;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.RenderLiving;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.RenderManager;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;

public class TestMobRenderer extends RenderLiving
{

private static final ResourceLocation testMobTextures = new ResourceLocation("textures/entity/testmob/testmob.png");

protected TestMobRenderer(RenderManager renderManager, ModelBase model, float f) 
{
	super(renderManager, model, f);
}

@Override
protected ResourceLocation getEntityTexture(Entity entity) 
{
	return this.testMobTextures;
}

}

 

I want to use ModelBiped for the mob.

 

I have underlined the error in the client proxy, and I know that I would have to add the RenderManager her. I just don't know what a RenderManager is, what is supposed to do and so on and so forth.

 

Thanks for any help (:

Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderManager()

 

It's a global manager that handles stuff, doesn't really matter.

Thanks, that was rather simple

 

But now I still have a box as an entity, but I think as I put new ModelBiped() in the argument I should get an entity looking simiular to the player ...

Where is my mistake now?

 

EDIT: Neverminde, I just found out I forgot to reference one thing. Stupid me

 

EDIT2: I think this belongs into another thread, but I will ask it here: How do I add a chat message when the player rightclicked the mob?

            I know it would go into the interact method of the entity, but how do I sent chatmessages in general? Thanks again in advance

EDIT3: And again I found it out by myself

This is an old thread, but this is on the topic.

 

I've noticed some issues with the rendermanager being null when I register the renderers. 

 

What is the recommended point to do this?  PreInit, Init?
