Hello, I am a bit new to modding and require knowledge on how to add a painting. I also would like to knowhow I could get it to display what another block is looking at, very much like the CCTV mod for 1.2.5

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated thanks.

The first one is fairly straight forward, but probably beyond your skill level.  The code that holds the painting IDs is called EnumPainting (IIRC).  You'd essentially have to insert new values describing the new painting.

 

The latter is far far more complicated of a question and requires manipulating the player's camera.

Besides injecting new enum values, you'd need to store some pixels somewhere... and then render them, and a frame, and the back. The vanilla paintings are all patches of a single 256x256 png file, and I don't recommend doing anything to it. Departing from that file probably means making a custom renderer.

 

There's another recent thread about paintings, and it has some java.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "what another block is looking at", but it sounds interesting. As long as what you want to display will fit into 16x16 pixels per cube face, there should be a way to get the world info and render it.

Security camera and tvs. He wants a rendered texture on a block.
