[1.7.10] [SOLVED] Direct Block Rendering Not Visible?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So, as an experiment I thought I'd try to make the most basic possible rendering Tile Entity. It took a bit to get error free (for whatever reason blockAccess was never set in the RenderBlocks no matter what I gave to the constructor), but even now that it is it doesn't actually seem to render anything...

 

For info: TEBase most only consists of a method to split the updateEntity method into a server and client version.

 

public class TEBox extends TEBase{
private RenderBlocks renderer = new RenderBlocks();

@Override
void updateClient(World world, int x, int y, int z) {
	renderer.blockAccess = world;
	renderer.renderBlockAllFaces(Blocks.glass, x, y, z);
}
}

 

Is there anyone who can see anything blatantly wrong here, or otherwise correct my course to what I should be doing instead?

If anyone has a comprehensive, visual guide to GUIs - don't hesitate to message me. They make my head spin.

You should not render your tileentity on updateEntity. (Even on clientside)

Just use TileEntitySpecialRenderer for that.

But I thought TESR was still called on update?  ???

This code would otherwise work on a TESR extension?

 

EDIT: After moving the code over to a TESR extension AND registering (I confirm through the log that the code runs), it is still invisible.... Current code block:

public class RenderBox extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer{

private RenderBlocks renderer = new RenderBlocks();

@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileentity, double x, double y, double z, float f) {
	LogHelper.info("RENDERING BOX!");
	renderer.blockAccess = tileentity.getWorldObj();
	renderer.renderBlockAllFaces(Blocks.glass, (int)x, (int)y, (int)z);
}
}

x, y, z is just the entity's relative position..

You should get the position from the tileentity.

 

& you cannot just use 'renderBlockAllFaces' in TESR.

There are plenty of tutorials there, find and follow them.

Uhm, okay. I got that last bit. Makes sense. Rendering != Logic.

 

I've been looking for tutorials, but they all go into much more complicated things, while all I want to do is render a block!

They also all directly seem to call out the opengl library without much explanation of what any of the calls actually mean.

 

...Maybe I'm trying to do too much... Apologies if I'm trying anyone's patience too much.

I managed to figure it out through ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler instead of TESR.

 

Still, thanks for the pointers. Sure to be useful in the future.

 

EDIT: Now I try to only have it render in pass 1 (I applied a semi-translucent texture), and it goes invisible again... in random chunks? It's perfectly visible and transparent in others... Is there any known behavior that makes render pass 1 skip certain chunks?

 

EDIT 2: placing ice or any other 'natural' block that renders in pass 1 in the same chunk makes all my blocks visible too... Is there somesort of trigger I've missed?

 

EDIT 3: turns out I was using the entirely wrong method to set the render pass: canRenderInPass instead of getRenderBlockPass. All good now!

    • The crash points to moonlight lib - try other builds or make a test without this mod and the mods requiring it
    • Do you have shaders enabled? There is an issue with the mod simpleclouds - remove this mod or disable shaders, if enabled
