Custom Textures MultiItemBlock [1.3.2]

[Zhor]

hey guys,

 

i just made some custom fences with the help of the wiki-article MultiBlocks (see http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Tutorials/Multiblock).

 

for this i created a class "MultiFence" with the following code:

 

public class MultiFence extends BlockFence{

/* public MultiFence (int id) {

super(id, Material.ground);

 

setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabDeco);

}*/

 

public MultiFence(int par1)

    {

super(par1, Material.wood);

//this.blockIndexInTexture=

//super(par1, 0, Material.wood);

        setBlockName("multiFence");

        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabDeco);

    }

 

 

    public MultiFence(int par1, int par2, Material par3Material)

    {

        super(par1, par2, par3Material);

    setBlockName("multiFence");

        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabDeco);

    }

 

@Override

public int getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata (int side, int metadata) {

 

return metadata;

 

}

 

@Override

public String getTextureFile() {

    return "/blocks.png";

    }

 

@Override

public int damageDropped (int metadata) {

return metadata;

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void getSubBlocks(int par1, CreativeTabs tab, List subItems) {

for (int ix = 0; ix < 16; ix++) {

subItems.add(new ItemStack(this, 1, ix));

}

}

 

public static boolean isIdAFence(int par0)

    {

        return true;

    }

 

 

the class MultiItemBlock:

 

public class MultiItemBlock extends ItemBlock {

private final static String[] subNames = {

"white", "orange",  "magenta", "lightBlue", "yellow", "lightGreen",

"pink", "darkGrey", "lightGrey", "cyan", "purple", "blue", "brown",

"green", "red", "black"

};

 

public MultiItemBlock(int id) {

super(id);

setHasSubtypes(true);

setItemName("multiFence");

}

 

@Override

public int getMetadata (int damageValue) {

return damageValue;

}

 

@Override

public String getItemNameIS(ItemStack itemstack) {

return getItemName() + "." + subNames[itemstack.getItemDamage()];

}

 

 

and i even modified the BlockFence.java, i added my constructor to fit in the tutorial-parameters.

FYI, BlockFence doesnt have a contructor, that takes only the id and the material as parameters.

 

 

public BlockFence(int par1, Material par2Material){

    super(par1, par2Material);

    this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabDeco);

    }

 

 

 

I set the MultiFence as a subclass of BlockFence to get the typical Fence-behavior and the right texture-rendering. I dont think it is possible to manage it without being subclass of BlockFence.

I really followed all the other steps in the Tutorial.

So here the Problem:

 

While the textures of the fences are perfectly fine block, the inventory takes only one particular texture for all fences.

If i change the MultiFence class to extend Block (instead of BlockFence), the inventory works fine, but (ofc.) the Fences are normal Blocks.

How can i set the ItemBlock textures to fit the texture of the Block itself?

 

Below are 2 screenshots of exact the same situation. First having MultiFence extends Block, second extends BlockFence.

 

Thanks,

*push* need some help, guys Still wondering, why this happens.

Are you sure you registered a seperate item instance for your BlockFence?

[Zhor]

not quite sure what you mean

i only registered it like that:

GameRegistry.registerBlock(multiFence, MultiFenceItemBlock.class);

 

and for each color its own itemstack:

for (int ix = 0; ix < 16; ix++) {
		ItemStack multiBlockStack = new ItemStack(multiFence, 1, ix);
...}

You make a few mistakes,

1. When you use multiBlocks it use the Metadata to store the 16 diff Blocks, Crops, Stairs & Fences use the Metadata to store the direction, so it will not work.

2. in your Block Class:

public MultiFence(int par1, int texture)
    {   
      super(par1, Material.wood);
      this.blockIndexInTexture= texture
      //super(par1, 0, Material.wood);
        setBlockName("multiFence");
        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabDeco);
    }

Then you give the texture ID in the Block declaration.

then in :

   @Override
   public int getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata (int side, int metadata) {
      
      return blockIndexInTexture + metadata;
      
   }

but how i told you multi Blocks never work when the Block use the Metadata

 

The render in the Inventory not work, i think it´s because you render the Fence not a normal Block, you must say him how to render this in the Inventory. i hope this is correct, but think you must use some code like you do with custom Render Blocks
