[1.7.10] creating bookshelfs

[winnetrie]

I have succesfully added alot of simple blocks and item to my mod.

Things like: bricked blocks, stairs, slabs, walls, fences, buttons, tools, items, recipes and also made an addon for BOP.

I had alot of help here on this forum, but once again i need help again.

I now want to make bookshelfs in all 6 wood types and also in the woodtypes of BOP (later)

 

i found the bookshelf class and changed it to this:

public class CustomBookShelves extends BlockBookshelf {
    private final Block planks;
    private final int meta;
    @SideOnly(value=Side.CLIENT)
    private IIcon overlay;
    @SideOnly(value=Side.CLIENT)
    public CustomBookShelves(Block block, int meta)
    {
        this.planks=block;
        this.meta=meta;
        this.setHardness(1.5F);
        this.setBlockName("bookshelf_"+planks.getUnlocalizedName());
        this.setCreativeTab(TemBlocks.extrafences);
    }

    /**
     * Gets the block's texture. Args: side, meta
     */
public float getEnchantPowerBonus(World world, int x, int y, int z) {
        return 1.0f;
    }

@Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIcon(int side, int meta)
    {
	IIcon plankIcon = this.planks.getIcon(side, this.meta);
        return side != 1 && side != 0 ? (renderOverlay ? this.overlay : plankIcon) : plankIcon;
        //return side != 1 && side != 0 ? super.getIcon(side, meta) : Blocks.planks.getBlockTextureFromSide(side);
    }
@Override
@SideOnly(value=Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister reg) {
        this.overlay = reg.registerIcon("tem:bookshelf");
    }

    
@Override
    public int quantityDropped(Random rand)
    {
        return 3;
    }

@Override
    public Item getItemDropped(int par1, Random par2, int par3)
    {
        return Items.book;
    }

}

So ingame my custom bookshelf has the right woodtype texture but there aren't bookshelfs drawn on it.

While the bookshelf does do his task as a bookshelf (enchantmentlevel get increased), i don't see the effect (those weird signs flying from the bookshelf into the enchantment table)

So how do i do it right?

add this at top

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    private IIcon field_150035_a;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    private IIcon field_150034_b;
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    private IIcon field_150034_c;

 

and this some where

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public IIcon getIcon(int side, int met)
    {
        return side == 1 ? this.field_150035_a : (side == 0 ? field_150034_c : (side != 2 && side != 4 ? this.blockIcon : this.field_150034_b));
    }

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void registerBlockIcons(IIconRegister p_149651_1_)
    {
        this.blockIcon = p_149651_1_.registerIcon("side");
        this.field_150035_a = p_149651_1_.registerIcon("top");
        this.field_150034_b = p_149651_1_.registerIcon("side");
        this.field_150034_c = p_149651_1_.registerIcon("bottom");
     	 	   
    }

 

then replace "side" with you side texture "top" with your top texture and "bottom" with your bottom texture

 

then it will render properly like a bookshelf

This works fine ofc, but i wanted to draw the bookshelves over the the other texture.

So i won't need to make extra textures for my custom bookshelf, but instead i use existing textures

[NEG2013]

O sry I don't know how to draw textures on top of each other

[winnetrie]

nvm i made all the texture now 

Thank you anyway!

Combining textures is a pain in the ass doing it runtime.  Possible, but a huge pain.

This class comes with no warranty and if something goes wrong I will not help you figure out what because the errors will not occur in this class.  I had to solve several myself when writing it and it involved a lot of backtracking through the stacktrace and examining obfuscated code to figure out what value hadn't been correctly set in order for Vanilla to properly handle the custom sprite loader.

When setting IIcons, you should be able to refer to vanilla textures for the sides you want to look like vanilla (e.g. the books).

 

As for the animated particles flowing to an enchanting table, you are probably hosed. Those are generated by the table itself. If the table's client-side particle generator doesn't recognize extensions of BlockBookshelf (using instanceof for its comparison), then you might not have an easy fix.

 

One workaround would be for your bookshelf to generate particles aimed at any nearby enchanting table. Look at how the enchanting table generates its particles, and then see about mirroring the effect.
