[1.8.9] Mob Entity Invisible?

[DragonessAtHeart]

Okay guys. All of you smart people have helped me get this far.

 

Why is my entity invisible?

 

I'm not getting a texture not found error, and at first it was using some sort of block map texture file.

 

But now I get a shadow, and nothing else. It moves and everything.

 

What am I doing wrong?

[DragonessAtHeart]

Anyone?

 

 

[DragonessAtHeart]

How do I know which method to keep?

[DragonessAtHeart]

Do you know of any good tutorials for adding a mob to 1.8 and how to register and render it?

 

I clearly need a bit more direction but I'm not sure how to get it.

[DragonessAtHeart]

Okay, I don't see anything else that Eclipse is yelling at me about so? How is this?

 

The entity is still invisible. No crash, no missing texture file, I'm just confused.

Thanks very much in advance. I'd really like to learn how to do this.

[DragonessAtHeart]

Please, tell me how to make it do something.

 

Should I be calling it somewhere I'm not?

[coolAlias]

Please, tell me how to make it do something.

The render code in your very first post did something... why did you take it all out? Diesieben only said to remove the redundant #doRender methods, not strip out the entire contents of the one method you kept.

[DragonessAtHeart]

Oh. I thought he said to start over because it was a mess.

 

[DragonessAtHeart]

I have done that and am still messing something up. I really wish I could say I understood completely what my code is doing, but I really don't.

 

I hope you don't kick me off of the forums but this is why I am here. Because I don't know what the code is doing and I'm having a lot of trouble figuring it out. The examples in vanilla forge 1.8.9 that I have seem to use different methods than the ones you are telling me here. At least registering seems to be different.

 

I don't want to give up. When I get home I'm going to take the cow and trace through every call that seems to have to do with rendering to see if I can't figure things out more.

 

Thanks for all of your help. Let me know if you think of other reasons why the rendering just is very broken.

To really understand what your code is doing, you should look at all the functions called. Then look at the source code for those functions, go back till you understand what all the functions that are called inside that function. Then do the same for all the other ones.

[DragonessAtHeart]

That's what I meant.

 

I've been trying to do that, but it just is difficult if you can't figure out what one function is doing and it breaks the flow.
