yo, i am pretty sure the experienced guys on this forum hear this alot, "oh no rendering isnt working". i myself have read at least 10 posts on that, but for some reason none of them seem to work in my situation. everything about my projectile is running smooth, except that my registerEntityRenderingHandler is deprecated, and i know i am supposed to add either a new renderer or IrenderFactory, its probably a few lines of code fix, so just help me out and move on with your day

 

 

Client proxy; named just pure Client: http://pastebin.com/KN1eGBvy

- note in actual code registerEntityRenderingHandler is crossed out

 

oh btw if you want more code bits, let me know, but im pretty sure the error is just here

time to read, did not find those, i think i am blind

okay i am targetting java 1.8, and i believe i should do the RenderSnowball::new, way but when i convert my new rendersnowball() into that i get multiple errors

okay i ran it how it was with RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EssenceSplashEffect.class, RenderSnowball::new);

 

which had an error that the thing couldnt figure out on the left side

 

 

heres the report:

http://pastebin.com/gaaG681j

 

 

 

what i think i am supposed to do is copy RenderSnowball and just rename everything into RenderEssenceSplash

 

my idea came from this post which basically stated that they were trying to do the same thing:

http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=8064.0

RenderSnowball

doesn't have a constructor with a single

RenderManager

argument, so you can't use

RenderSnowball::new

as an

IRenderFactory

. Use a lambda or subclass of

RenderSnowball

(anonymous or named) instead.

so i should make a renderer that extends render snowball and make a method that returns the rendermanager?

 

note: trust me, i am very new to program lingo

 

i am currently testing using RenderArrow as it doesnt give me the same error as render snowball

 

can someone affirm that i am moving in the correct direction by making a new class that extends rendersnowball then adding in the rendering thats like render arrow

so i should make a renderer that extends render snowball

That was one of the options I presented, yes.

 

and make a method that returns the rendermanager?

No.

 

Create a class that extends

RenderSnowball

and has a constructor that takes a single

RenderManager

argument. Call the super constructor with this argument, the

Item

to render and the

RenderItem

instance. Use a method reference to this constructor (i.e.

RenderFooBar::new

) as the

IRenderFactory

implementation.

 

Alternatively, use a lambda as the

IRenderFactory

implementation. In this lambda, create an instance of

RenderSnowball

with the appropriate arguments. You could also use an anonymous class instead of a lambda.

i think i got it, let me test and if i works out i will repost my code back here so that future individuals wont be as confused as me

okay i got the rendering to work, but i got an error upon testing

the renderer doesnt seem to have any errors, neither does the main class, not sure if registering the entity in the preInitialization has anything to do with this

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: net.minecraft.src.EssenceSplashEffect.<init>(net.minecraft.world.World)

Every

Entity

class must have a constructor that takes a single

World

argument. This is used to create the entity on the client.

 

Side note: Why are you creating classes in the

net.minecraft.src

package? Use a package unique to your mod, e.g.

com.<yourname>.<yourmod>

.

sorry didnt know how i was supposed to name it, trust me i am really new, like i learnt all my basic java skills out of a modding minecraft book

 

 

also a bit of it by pure research into specific areas

choonster, hopefully this is the final time, man i really appreciate what you have done for me, without you this wouldve taken at least 2 days to get right. man i am so happy that im getting 1 step closer to doing something cool and developing this mod im working on, so just plz help me figure out what this all means one last time

Minecraft is trying to render an

ItemStack

with a

null

Item

. This is because you passed

null

as the

Item

argument of the

RenderSnowball

constructor.

public class RenderEssenceSplash extends RenderSnowball

{

 

public RenderEssenceSplash(RenderManager renderManagerIn) {

super(renderManagerIn, Main.EssenceSplash, Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem());

 

}

 

 

}

 

 

im not sure which on is the item render constructor, but can you plz quickly explain how to make it alright, come on, i almost got it

public class RenderEssenceSplash extends RenderSnowball

{

 

public RenderEssenceSplash(RenderManager renderManagerIn) {

super(renderManagerIn, Main.EssenceSplash, Minecraft.getMinecraft().getRenderItem());

}

}

 

 

im not sure which on is the item render constructor, but can you plz quickly explain how to make it alright

 

Main.EssenceSplash

is the

Item

argument, so it was

null

when the constructor was called. Either you're assigning the field a value at some point after the constructor is called or you're never assigning it a value.

 

In future, use [nobbc]

[/nobbc] tags when posting code.

okay think i found the error, was registering the item after the proxy, and its rendering sorta fine, except not it shoots out a pure white block texture thing, if you need screenshots ill provide

Post your latest entity and rendering registration code and FML log using Pastebin/Gist.

http://pastebin.com/VgqXX3WZ

 

i believe this is what you want

Let me be a bit more specific: Post the class where you call

EntityRegistry.registerModEntity

, the class where you call

RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler

, the class that calls those classes and your

Render

class. Also post your FML log.

didnt know how to get the fml log, but got everything else, probs did something wrong that is screwing the texture loading up

 

 

http://pastebin.com/jYs7tPxp

 

 

you know whats funny, i thought this would be a quick fix

The FML log is saved to logs/fml-client-latest.log in the game directory.

 

Things you need to fix:

• RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler

  must be called in preInit.
  

• Block

  s,

  Item

  s and other

  IForgeRegistryEntry

  implementations should be registered in preInit. The same goes for entities.
  

• Item models should be registered in preInit from your client proxy (not your

  @Mod

  class, you'll crash the dedicated server) with

  ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation

  /

  setCustomMeshDefinition

  rather than in init with

  ItemModelMesher#register

  .
  

• GameRegistry.registerItem

  and

  GameRegistry.findItem

  are deprecated, look at their doc comments for the replacements.
  

 

Event handler registration can be done in any phase, so that can stay where it is.

 

I did notice the

MormonBook

item.

so move everything in the int phase to preinit except event busses

 

okay did some research, gameregistry is not deprecated in 1.8.9 but has some deprecated commands which im not using

 

okay did some research, gameregistry is not deprecated in 1.8.9 but has some deprecated commands which im not using

 

Ah, I didn't notice that you were using 1.8.9. I'd recommend updating to 1.9.4.

this mod is mostly in development for mainly me and my friends, i am not really confident in my skill to update it as such, btw i defined modelloaders in the preinit of client-my client proxy. how would i load those onto an item

 

 

Item CowEssenceItem = GameRegistry.findItem("essence", "CowEssence");
	ModelResourceLocation CowEssenceModel = new ModelResourceLocation("essence:CowEssence", "Inventory");
	ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(CowEssenceItem, 0, CowEssenceModel);

 

these dont auto-attach to the item

 

 

wow second page already for a 'simple fix'

okay, i converted to modelloader and the textures arent being loaded, why?
