[1.7.10] Colorizing armor texture.

[deerangle]

I am trying to make an armor, that has a grayscale texture, and gets colorized into for instance pink, (I want to colorize the armor, not the items)

but I couldn't find any methods in the leather armor, except for these:

@Override
public int getColor(ItemStack item){
	return color;
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public boolean hasColor(ItemStack item){
	return true;
}

but it is still not working.

Those are the methods that you need to use, take a look at LayerArmorBase

What is "LayerArmorBase"? I didnt find a class/method/object anywhere

In MC 1.8, it's a class in <Forge>\build\tmp\recompSrc\net\minecraft\client\renderer\entity\layers

I am using minecraft forge 1.7.10

Then you'll need to search for it. It should be nearby, if not the same.

Render layers were added in 1.8. In 1.7.10 and earlier, armour rendering (including colours) is handled directly in the appropriate

Render

class (

RenderBiped

for biped mobs,

RenderPlayer

for players).

 

Those are the right methods, though only

getColor

is used for rendering.

hasColor

is only used for armour dyeing recipes.

So how would i do that in practice, without changing the RenderPlayer class?

i tried the getColor method, returning my given color, but it isnt working  :'(
