Hi,

 

I want to be able to load vanilla a model, then update some properties (translation) before baking it. I saw in the code that VanillaLoader what the loader by default, and VanillaModelWrapper was the default created model. But both class are private.

 

Is there a method to that ?

Could you elaborate ?

Ok,

 

So actually I'm using a custom loader to wrap the vanilla IModel. It's a title ugly, but it seem to work.

 

public class OverSlabModelLoader implements ICustomModelLoader {
    public static boolean disableCustomLoader = false;

    @Override
    public boolean accepts(ResourceLocation modelLocation) {
        return !disableCustomLoader
                && Reference.MODID.equals(modelLocation.getResourceDomain())
                && modelLocation.getResourcePath().contains("plant");
    }

    @Override
    public IModel loadModel(ResourceLocation modelLocation) throws IOException {
        disableCustomLoader = true;

        final IModel model;
        try {
            model = ModelLoaderRegistry.getModel(new ResourceLocation(modelLocation.getResourceDomain(), modelLocation.getResourcePath().substring(modelLocation.getResourcePath().indexOf('/') + 1)));
        } finally {
            disableCustomLoader = false;
        }

        return new ModelOverSlab(modelLocation, model);
    }

    @Override
    public void onResourceManagerReload(IResourceManager resourceManager) {}
}

 

Do you know a better solution ?

 

My last problem is with the ItemBlock, or any model that use my previous block as parent. The getTexture method fail because the parent of a VanillaWrapper can't be a custom model. But I'm just wrapping a vanillaModel, so perhapt there is a way to get that block.

I tryed various solutions, with no success. I didn't find any way to set the parent of block BlockModel wrapped in the vanillaWrapper. Everything is private.

 

 

So, I'm curious, what I want to do seem pretty common (Load a vanilla model, wrap in an ISmartModel using generic unlisted properties). Am I missing something ?

Yeah, I will try that.

 

No idea for the second problem ?

Well... using different location solve both problem at once.

 

I make my blockstate JSON link to fictive model location (by adding a custom prefix)

My custom loader intercept that prefix, reconstruct the real location the call the getModel from the registry. Wrap the result in my ISmartModel.

Now I just have to make my item model use the real location as parent.
