Hi,

i have a small problem with my TileEntitySpecialRenderer. Depending on how I look at the block, it switches between very bright and very dark. Any ideas?

GL11.glPushMatrix();

GlStateManager.translate(relativeX + centreOffsetX, relativeY + centreOffsetY, relativeZ + centreOffsetZ);

GlStateManager.scale(SCALE_FACTOR, SCALE_FACTOR, SCALE_FACTOR);

Tessellator tessellator = Tessellator.getInstance();
WorldRenderer worldrenderer = tessellator.getWorldRenderer();
this.bindTexture(nodTurretBaseTexture);         // texture 

worldrenderer.startDrawingQuads();
addBaseVertices(worldrenderer);
tessellator.draw();

GL11.glPopMatrix();

 

EDIT: I found out it has something to do with the item rendering. the switch depends on the lighting of the item I'm holding and

RenderHelper.disableStandardItemLighting();

turns it dark all the time. Does anyone know why the item affects the block?

 

Probably just the way the ordering is of the Minecraft code.

Can you explain what you mean with ordering of the code?

Well, lets assume blocks get rendered first, then entities, and then tile entities.

 

If Mojang enables the item lighting for the entities (since they hold items) and forget to disable it, then it'll carry over to the tile entities. This is all assuming the order is as described.
