[Solved][1.8.9] Dynamically change the texture of the vanilla sign

[Aulig]

Hello,

 

Id like to change the texture of the sign (either only if its on a wall or in both states) if it says a specified text in line 3.

My mod is clientside only and id like to keep it that way; i know its possible to do it as "labymod"(a clientside mod) does it.

	if(world.getBlockState(BlockPosCurr).getBlock() == Blocks.standing_sign || world.getBlockState(BlockPosCurr).getBlock() == Blocks.wall_sign){

		TileEntitySign sign = (TileEntitySign) world.getTileEntity(BlockPosCurr);
		IChatComponent text = sign.signText[2];
		IChatComponent searched = new ChatComponentText("test");

		if(text.equals(searched)){
		//edit texture
		}
	}

You'll either need to create a new

TileEntitySpecialRenderer

that renders signs your way and register it for

TileEntitySign.class

using

ClientRegistry#bindTileEntitySpecialRenderer

or use ASM to modify

TileEntitySignRenderer

.

 

Side note: Why are you using 1.8.8? 1.8.9 has received far more updates and 1.9 is now the recommended version.

good thing you pointed that out, ive been using 1.8.9 for a bit now but kept naming my questions 1.8.8 by habit. sorry about that  . Does it make any difference in this case though? Also Im not using 1.9 as my mod is designed to help on minigame servers which mostly use 1.8 still. This feature is intended to make spotting servers that have a free slot available easier (If you have an easier idea than changing the signs color - Im open to suggestions  )

There's no difference in this case, no.

I can't think of any better way to do what you want.
