I'm working on a 1.8 mod and I want to use B3D models because the JSON models can't do triangles.

 

I have used the code from here:

https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/blob/b45fd787f36626ef84f26e881848167fec5957b5/src/test/java/net/minecraftforge/debug/ModelLoaderRegistryDebug.java

 

But when I start the game it tells me there are no models defined

[16:02:38] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location appliedautomation:block_analyzer#facing=up not found

[16:02:38] [Client thread/ERROR] [FML]: Model definition for location appliedautomation:block_analyzer#facing=down not

..and so on for every side

 

I have a b3d file in appliedautomation and appliedautomation#model#block but neither seem to work.

 

Is this a thing with my code or with my model file? (which is saved as block_analyzer.b3d )

BlockAnalyzer:

The model file is this, converted into b3d through Blender. Yes, it is a model from EnderIO, I will not be using this model in the mod, it's just to test with.

It is just a bunch of numbers - it's an Obj file.

 

Thanks for any help

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you got a blockstates file that specifies the model for each variant? Forge's blockstates format may be handy here.

Ok well that works... but it only works with json files, and I want it to use B3D files (Or even better, Obj files)

Blockstates files work with any format of baked model. Just specify the .obj or .b3d extension in your model paths to use an OBJ or B3D model.

 

If you want to use OBJ models, you need to tell the loader to look in your domain like you did for the B3D loader.

You mean like this in the blockstates file? Because this doesn't work:

 

{

    "variants": {

        "normal": { "model": "appliedautomation:ModelTest.b3d" }

    }

}

 

If there is a decent tutorial on this for 1.8 that would be great.

You haven't defined a variant for each value of the

facing

property. The

normal

variant is only used if your block doesn't have any properties.

 

I don't know of any tutorials, only Forge's debug code.
