Hello,

I m trying to use it in my code in 1.8 but i get errors like:

 

java:824: error: cannot find symbol IIcon icon = item.getIconIndex();

^

symbol: class IIcon

location: class NPC_BattleaxeRender

 

and

 

java:849: error: instance has private access in Tessellator

 

This is the code lines i used in 1.7.x to render a custom item.

It used to work then but not now of course.

 

 

 

public static class NPC_BattleaxeRender

implements IItemRenderer{

 

public boolean handleRenderType(ItemStack itemStack, IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType type){return true;}

public boolean shouldUseRenderHelper(IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, IItemRenderer.ItemRendererHelper helper){return false;}

public void renderItem(IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, Object... data){

 

IIcon icon = item.getIconIndex();

 

if (type == IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType.ENTITY){

GL11.glPushMatrix();

GL11.glTranslatef(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);

GL11.glRotatef(0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);

GL11.glScalef(2.0F, 2.0F, 2.0F);

ItemRenderer.renderItemIn2D(Tessellator.instance, icon.getMaxU(), icon.getMinV(), icon.getMinU(), icon.getMaxV(), icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight(), 16F / 256F);

GL11.glPopMatrix();} if (type == IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType.INVENTORY){

GL11.glPushMatrix();

GL11.glTranslatef(15.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);

GL11.glRotatef(225.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);

GL11.glScalef(21.0F, 15.0F, 2.0F);

ItemRenderer.renderItemIn2D(Tessellator.instance, icon.getMaxU(), icon.getMinV(), icon.getMinU(), icon.getMaxV(), icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight(), 16F / 256F);

GL11.glPopMatrix();} if (type == IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType.EQUIPPED){

 

GL11.glPushMatrix();

GL11.glTranslatef(1.0F, -0.02F, -0.05F);

GL11.glRotatef(180.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);

GL11.glRotatef(0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);

GL11.glScalef(1.0F, 1.0F, 1.5F);

ItemRenderer.renderItemIn2D(Tessellator.instance, icon.getMaxU(), icon.getMinV(), icon.getMinU(), icon.getMaxV(), icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight(), 16F / 256F);

GL11.glPopMatrix();} if (type == IItemRenderer.ItemRenderType.EQUIPPED_FIRST_PERSON){

GL11.glPushMatrix();

GL11.glTranslatef(30.0F, -45.0F, 35.0F);

GL11.glRotatef(180.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);

GL11.glRotatef(80.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);

GL11.glScalef(70.0F, 70.0F, 100.0F);

ItemRenderer.renderItemIn2D(Tessellator.instance, icon.getMaxU(), icon.getMinV(), icon.getMinU(), icon.getMaxV(), icon.getIconWidth(), icon.getIconHeight(), 16F / 256F);

GL11.glPopMatrix();} }}

 

 

 

 

1.8 has new rendering and model systems.

 

IIcon and IItemRenderer is no more. To have a peak at new rendering:

ISmartItemModel allows mdoel manipulation.

Code from 1.7 needs major overhauling before you have something that will work in 1.8. There are many threads here that already answer the issues you're displaying. However, they can be difficult to find using the site's own search (it tends to turn up massive logs). Try to Google as much as you can about:

 

Minecraft Forge "1.8"...

 

1) + blockstates

 

2) + tesselator

 

3) + mesher

 

And be ready to do the common and client proxies... they're now essential to all mods with items (including nearly all blocks, because they can drop or appear in inventory as items.

 

Finally, read about Forge's advanced blockstate format.

yes i figured out how it works. No need to make special render anymore, because 1.8 uses the json models and there you can define the position of the item.

The only problem/glich i face now is the partial transparensy of the item' thickness.

I have to find out how to fix that now.

Psh, that looks awesome.  Keep it.

(ok, ok, it only looks awesome to me)

We need code, assets. Did you use built in model?

Actually the code didnt had problems. The textures had some transparent pixels around the item and the 1.8 machine recognized them as empty space. In 1.7.10 there wasnt any problem like that. The thing i did was to use gimp to make a black border around my items and fill that empty space. I got 2 goods from that, 1 fixed the item appearance and 2 my items look more cartoon and awsome.

 

Solved!

1.7.10 doesn't allow for transparent pixels.  The png file gets thresholded (above a certain alpha -> 1, else -> 0).  1.8 looks like it'll allow for partial transparency in items, which is really cool.

Reminds me of time when I was like: "Wtf, why is this blade see-through?" Took me some time to actually look into .png, rather than my GL calls.

 

And indeed- it is pretty cool, you can make glassy-stuff.

Anyway just to give my lights to this problem, just take care to repair your items with black border around the item.

Like the one in png
