Backpacks Tutorial - by coolAlias

[Ne0NAfr0]

I was trying to follow the tutorial for backpacks by coolAlias here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/mapping-and-modding-tutorials/1571597-forge-1-6-4-1-8-custom-inventories-in-items-and

 

I was getting very frustrated and eventually just copy and pasted everything into a new project to test if it worked. I had followed all the extra steps at the bottom including the "update from x to 1.8, 1.7 and 1.6 etc..." The tutorial also included another one for sending packets found here: http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Packet_Handling

He said it was as simple as "Copy and paste into your project" but I can't do that because the packet handling tutorial is not for 1.8. I am very flustered and confused at the vast number of of tutorials for all the versions with slightly tweaked pieces of code left and right. I am only a new modder and I am not familiar with the Forge libraries let alone the Forge libraries for the numerous versions of Minecraft. There is currently not a single file other than the ClientProxy.java file that has no errors.

 

So, could someone PLEASE post a gitup link to a funcional project similar to what I am trying to do, so I can see what I am doing wrong. I would really appreciate it.

 

Yes I know, I am only a baby modder, and I still need to be spoon fed.

 

Anyway, thank you for any help you give, especially if it is from Mr. coolAlias himself.

Why would you go and try to do something that you have no knowledge of. I mean you said you was new with forge and its libs. Why are you creating a hard think like a backpack then? Do it step by step. Learn the basics first and try to tweak ou thinks to see the result. You have to see tutorials but copy-pasting code isn't the way to go. You wont be learning anything and you wont be able to fix errors because you have no idea whats going on.

So far I have done:

Items, blocks, armor, custom drops, world gen, tools, packets(using IMessage) and other things, all of which are working for 1.8 and I understand them. I want to move on to more advanced things like backpacks to get better, not because they are hard. You won't ever get better if you don't try.

 

What I want, simply, is a tutorial for backpacks and all of its components that work for 1.8 forge, rather than linking to other tutorials half way through that are for a different version of Forge that do not explain how to update. It would be easiest to compare with code that I know will work and what I have now to find out what is wrong so I can understand fully. I did read the step by step instructions made by coolAlias but still, I need more help than that.

I cant seem to find any backpack or anything related to it for 1.8 but here is an example for 1.7 https://github.com/Eydamos/Minecraft-Backpack-Mod

Hahaha, *Kry face*  :'( :'( :'(

 

This is my problem... Nothing is for 1.8

 

Thanks though!

This is my problem... Nothing is for 1.8

The tutorial explains how to update to 1.8 - there is hardly anything that changed with respect to this particular tutorial, so if you can create an Item in 1.8, you can pretty much create a backpack.

 

Also, the github link for the tutorial... there is a 1.8 branch...
