I got the tab working. Got the right picture and name on it.

But I can't figure in a way to substring this

itemGroup.The Basic Elements

 

Anyone got an idea?

I was able to find this really old deprecated stuff but it didn't help...

 

<source lang="java">LanguageRegistry.instance().addStringLocalization("itemGroup.tabCustom", "en_US", "My Custom Tab");</source>

I have a lang file, what do I need to do?

 

Example?

 

It goes from TheBasicElements to The Basic Elements with the fancy spaces and all...

@SidedProxy(clientSide = Reference.CLIENT_PROXY_CLASS, serverSide = Reference.SERVER_PROXY_CLASS)
public static CommonProxy proxy;
@Instance(Reference.MOD_ID)
private static Guru instance;
@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event)
{
	proxy.preInit();
	GuruItems.init();
	GuruItems.register();
	GuruEntities.registerEntities();
	ModCreativeTabs.load();
	initRecipes();
}

 

 

package guru.tbe;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

public class ModCreativeTabs {

public static CreativeTabs TheBasicElements;

public static void load(){

	TheBasicElements = new TBECreativeTab(CreativeTabs.getNextID());
}
}

 

package guru.tbe;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.init.Items;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class TBECreativeTab extends CreativeTabs {

public TBECreativeTab(int id) {
	super("The Basic Elements");
	//this.setBackgroundImageName("item_search.png");
}

@Override
public Item getTabIconItem() {
	return guru.tbe.init.GuruItems.NetherOrb;
}

}

 

 

item.AirOrb.name=Air Orb
item.EarthOrb.name=Earth Orb
item.FireOrb.name=Fire Orb
item.WaterOrb.name=Water Orb
item.NetherOrb.name=Nether Orb
item.InvisibleOrb.name=Invisible Orb
item.CreativeOrb.name=Creative Orb

itemGroup.TheBasicElements.name=The Basic Elements

 

didn't work

why the hell can't I just

 

public TBECreativeTab(int id) {

super("The Basic Elements")substring(9);

//this.setBackgroundImageName("item_search.png");

}

 

 

This sucks...

itemGroup.The Basic Elements=The Basic Elements

 

 

Alright i got it.

 

Cool beans man thanks to ya.

 

itemGroup.The Basic Elements=The Basic Elements
item.AirOrb.name=Air Orb
item.EarthOrb.name=Earth Orb
item.FireOrb.name=Fire Orb
item.WaterOrb.name=Water Orb
item.NetherOrb.name=Nether Orb
item.InvisibleOrb.name=Invisible Orb
item.CreativeOrb.name=Creative Orb

Proptip when doing language files, spaces in the key is not advised, it can mess with a lot of parsers. And just doesn't fit the standard programming practices.

CamelCase: someNameHere

Or Underscores: some_name_here

 

I fixed it shortly after. Was finally able to get my account back too! google won't allow you to sign in if you are in a different state... -.- ... which is very helpful

 

itemGroup.TheBasicElements=The Basic Elements
