JSON Model and triangles


tarig

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

I am working on adding slopes into 1.8 and I want to challenge myself to use the new model system, to allow for easier swapping of shapes.

 

Problem is I can't find a way to load triangles using the built in json loaders. I know there is a way to override the loaders but I would rather not if possible and if not I have no idea how to start writing one.

 

TL;DR

How can I create json files with triangle faces?

 

Thanks

T

Hi

 

The vanilla JSON can't generate triangles because there is no way to specify two of the four vertices to be the same.

 

I reckon your best bet is to use B3D.  BDcubik is apparently a useful tool for that, never used it myself.  Mr Crayfish does great stuff so maybe Lothrazar's idea is good too.

 

If you want to go the custom loader route, look at MBE04, MBE05, MBE15 here: (working examples)

    • so i just got this crash report and i dont mod a lot so i literally have no idea what to do to fix this
    • Hello, I was trying to play a MOD in my preferred language, but I see that only some items are translated, and I go to debug and I get this information (the only thing that is translated is the bestiary):   [14sep.2024 17:14:36.415] [Render thread/WARN] [net.minecraft.client.resources.language.ClientLanguage/]: Skipped language file: mowziesmobs:lang/es_es.json (com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Expected name at line 394 column 2 path $.config.mowziesmobs.ice_crystal_attack_multiplier) [14sep.2024 17:14:36.421] [Render thread/WARN] [net.minecraft.client.resources.language.ClientLanguage/]: Skipped language file: iceandfire:lang/es_es.json (com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Unterminated object at line 1349 column 4 path $.iceandfire.sound.subtitle.dragonflute)   Is that the reason why everything is not translated? , and is there any way to fix it? Thanks
    • I got my model to render from the models renderToBuffer method. But still not quite what I want. I want to render the model from my renderer's render method. I feel that having access to the renderer and its methods will open some doors for me later down the line. //EntityRendererProvider.Context pContext = ; I want this //ToaPlayerRenderer render = new ToaPlayerRenderer(pContext, false); // if I can get the above line to work, having the methods from the renderer class would be incredibly helpful down the line RenderType rendertype = model.renderType(p.getSkinTextureLocation()); // this should be something like render.getTextureLocation() VertexConsumer vertexconsumer = buffer.getBuffer(rendertype); model.renderToBuffer(stack, vertexconsumer, paLights, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1); // I don't want the render to happen here since it doesn't use the renderer //model.render(p, 1f, pTicks, stack, buffer, paLights); I want to render the model using this It is certainly getting closer though. Probably. I am still worried that even if pContext is initialized this new instance of the renderer class will still hit me with the classic and all too familiar "can't use static method in non-static context"
    • Hello, I am learning how to create Multipart Entities and I tried creating a PartEntity based on the EnderDragonPart code. However, when I tested summoning the entity in the game, the PartEntity appeared at position x 0, y 0, z 0 within the game. I tried to make it follow the main entity, and after testing again, the part entity followed the main entity but seemed to teleport back to x 0, y 0, z 0 every tick (I'm just guessing). I don't know how to fix this can someone help me?
