Hi all, i've been following tech freezers forge tutorials on youtube but i've hit a snag. i followed what he did exactly but my texture doesn't show up for my sword. instead i get a white square with a black rectangle at the bottom.

 

my mod source can be found here:

http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/388565/VanillaExpansion.7z

 

any help would be appreciated.

 

inside of your sword class, put in:

public String getTextureFile()
{
     return "";  //put the texture file in /MCP/eclipse/Minecraft/bin AND start with a /, end with .png
}

thanks for the quick reply. but by putting it inside the bin folder what happens if i want to publish my mod? won't whoever downloads it have to throw my textures into the bin folder?

I'm fairly sure you can just chuck the texture files inside your mod's jar - so if the texture file was /textures/terrain.png, you'd put the 'textures' folder inside your jar.

You can.

 

Just create a package inside Eclipse, then drag and drop your textures into it - accessing them after with "/packagename/texturename.png"

 

Requires no fiddling around and you can then edit directly without having to replace files or pop them in /bin or the minecraft.jar.

thanks guys.

i think that was the problem: "/packagename/texturename.png"

i had my textures inside my package but didn't add my package name so mine just read

"/myitems.png"

i'll try it a bit later.

 

EDIT/UPDATE: works. thanks guys.
