I have followed several tutorials and I have my armour working as intended, the only issue is - when worn, the armour is not being displayed on the player.

The item icons work properly, and MC recognises each armour piece as either helmet, boots, etc. But I can't work out why the armour is not displayed on the player when worn.

 

This is the code I am using, based on the tutorials I have followed. This is for 1.7.10 and it is the first time I have tried to do armour.

 

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack par1ItemStack, Entity par2Entity, int slot, String type)
{
	if (par1ItemStack.getItem() == DungeonTacticsItems.goldplateHelmet || par1ItemStack.getItem() == DungeonTacticsItems.goldplateChestplate || par1ItemStack.getItem() == DungeonTacticsItems.goldplateBoots)
	{
		return Reference.MOD_ID.toLowerCase() + ":textures/armor/" + Names.Armor.GOLDPLATE_ARMOR + "_layer_1.png";
	}
	if (par1ItemStack.getItem() == DungeonTacticsItems.goldplateLeggings);
	{
		return Reference.MOD_ID.toLowerCase() + ":textures/armor/" + Names.Armor.GOLDPLATE_ARMOR + "_layer_2.png";
	}
}

 

 

In my client proxy I have 'registerRenderThings', for registering some entities, but none of the tutorials have mentioned using that for rendering the armour on the player. Not sure if that is relevant or not.

 

Also, I get this in the system log, when I open the inventory with the armour equipped.

Could we see all of your item, render, and main classes?

I don't have my own renderer, because none of the tutorials I followed even hinted that I needed one, and I don't call a vanilla renderer specifically for the armour for the same reason.

I am presuming that is the problem, but I am still unfamiliar with many methods, as I'm still fairly new to MC modding (and never done armour before).

The issue is in this and the other 3 lines of code.

public static Item goldplateHelmet = new ArmorGoldplate(Material.Armor.GOLDPLATE, 27, 0).setUnlocalizedName(Names.Armor.GOLDPLATE_HELMET);

You should have looked into the ItemArmor class before you started tossing in arguments for the hell of it. That argument is not item id or armor id, it is the render id.

Here is the comment for the integer as found in ItemArmor.class.

 

Used on RenderPlayer to select the correspondent armor to be rendered on the player: 0 is cloth, 1 is chain, 2 is

iron, 3 is diamond and 4 is gold.

 

Based on more than one tutorial, I was under the impression that in "(Material.Armor.GOLDPLATE, 27, 0)" was "amour material, unique model id, armourslot(helmet, boots, etc.)".

From what you say, I presume, if I change the '27' to '0' my armour would render as vanilla cloth armour? or would it render my specified textures?

 

I do apologise for what is probably a dumb question, but I'm still fairly new to making an MC mod and just lack some experience.

It should render your custom armor texture assuming that you set it properly. You need to set 27 to be 0-4 because the item will only allow 0-4, anything else will crash the game.

Haha. I can't believe it was something simple. I'll admit, I probably misunderstood one of the tutorials I used, but the trouble I find is that most people tell you what to do and not why.

Never the less, it is working now. Thank you.
