[1.8] TESR renders correct shape, but is solid black, no texture

[GalianRyu]

So I have a TileEntitySpecialRenderer set up and I did everything pretty much the same way I did my last TESR, but for some reason it renders the shape correctly, but doesn't have the texture, or even the purple/black default texture, its just solid black.  I have double and triple checked that the Resource Location is correct and there's no typo in the filepath, and I even made certain that it was seeing the correct textures after each drawing.

 

Here's the code for the renderer:

package net.rpcraft.rpcraft;

import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.GlStateManager;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.Tessellator;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.WorldRenderer;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.tileentity.TileEntitySpecialRenderer;
import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.rpcraft.rpcraft.RPSpikes.TileEntitySpikes;


public class TileEntitySpikesRenderer extends TileEntitySpecialRenderer
{
private ResourceLocation spikeTexture;
private ResourceLocation bottomTexture;

@Override
public void renderTileEntityAt(TileEntity tileEntityIn, double posX, double posY, double posZ, float partialTick, int damage) 
{
	if(!(tileEntityIn instanceof TileEntitySpikes))
		return;

	TileEntitySpikes tileEntity = (TileEntitySpikes)tileEntityIn;

	if(tileEntity.getBlockMetadata() == 0)
	{
		spikeTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesNormal.png");
		bottomTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesNormal.png");
	}
	else if(tileEntity.getBlockMetadata() == 1)
	{
		spikeTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesStained.png");
		bottomTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesNormal.png");
	}
	else if(tileEntity.getBlockMetadata() == 2)
	{
		spikeTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesDarkened.png");
		bottomTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesDarkened.png");
	}
	else if(tileEntity.getBlockMetadata() == 3)
	{
		spikeTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesDarkAndStained.png");
		bottomTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesDarkened.png");
	}
	else
	{
		spikeTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesNormal.png");
		bottomTexture = new ResourceLocation(RPCraft.MODID, "textures/blocks/spikesNormal.png");
	}

	Tessellator tess = Tessellator.getInstance();
    WorldRenderer worldrenderer = tess.getWorldRenderer();

	GL11.glPushMatrix();
    GL11.glPushAttrib(GL11.GL_ENABLE_BIT);
    
    this.bindTexture(spikeTexture);

So far the block is just extending blockContainer and the TileEntity is literally just

 

public static class TileEntitySpikes extends TileEntity {}

 

since I only needed it for the renderer.  Did I miss something?

[jeffryfisher]

I had something like that happen when I updated 1.7 to 1.8 for a renderer for custom paintings. It turned out to be light level (everything is black if your light level function returns zero).

 

I had been calling the wrong function to get the illumination level for each tile's pos. I ended up calling this.renderManager.worldObj.getCombinedLight(...). Find where you're setting light level and compare your light source to what's used in a comparable vanilla renderer.

[GalianRyu]

Well, as you can see from my code, I haven't overridden any functions that control light level.  Do you know where the light level is usually controlled from so I can attempt to locate the default function or emulate it?

 

I checked the vanilla code for chests and skulls, but found no functions that resembled yours or looked obviously related to light level.

[GalianRyu]

Found what I was missing!

 

Even though blockContainer overrides the standard render rules with getRenderType() return -1...

 

You still have to override IsOpaqueCube yourself to return false.  Seems like BlockContainer should do that as well, since your only going to use a TESR for something not cube-like lol.

since your only going to use a TESR for something not cube-like lol.

 

Just for reference, I have a TESR block which is a full cube but just renders an item floating above it
