[1.10.2] ["SOLVED"] TE Model with "tinted" texture in some parts

[JoseluGames]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out how to add color to some of the boxes of custom Model for a TileEntity, I can do GL11.glColor3f() on the renderTileEntityAt() method but that as you suppose tints all the model, I though of spliting the model on colorable/not coloreable models but some of the boxes are childs of anothers and It's going to be a mess, so, is there a way to tint some parts of the texture or to tint some parts of the model??

Does your TE render dynamically?

[JoseluGames]

If you mean that it can change color in middle of the game yes, it will

[Animefan8888]

You will need to do this in your model file where the rendering actually happens or create multiple models and do it in renderTileEntityAt ()

[JoseluGames]

So I just have to split the model right? No other option? As I said the model it's a bit complex and it'll help not to split it

[Animefan8888]

I haven't looked at a models code for a while but in there is where the rendering happens find the "cube" that changes color and use gl11.whatever to change the color of that model then afterwards gl11.whatever to change it back.

[JoseluGames]

Yeah, you use GL11.glColor3f(r, g, b) to change color and GLStateManager.resetColor() to change it back for the next rendering, but this change the color of all the model, so what I did to fix it is render the model two times, each with the textures that need to be colored or not like this: http://pastebin.com/Qy8SJVd4

Don't do that it may work and all but serious lag can happen from that. Instead please post your code for your model.

[JoseluGames]

http://pastebin.com/kbebrB1K Ymov, Head1, Head2 and Head3 should NOT be colored, and I know it can be a bit of an overkill but it's the only way I can think this can be done as we don't have RenderLayers as with Entities

[Animefan8888]

I see you are using addChild to add the existing models to render with the other models. If you remove the ones that you want to color from being a child and add them to the render method you can call Gl11.glColor3f(...) and then after the model.render you can call GLStateManager.resetColor().

[JoseluGames]

Yeah, but then I have to move each one individually when I animate it

[Animefan8888]

Yeah, but then I have to move each one individually when I animate it

Then here is where you ask yourself Increased lag and easier programmed animations or Normal Frame Rates and harder to program animations?

I'm talking about others that have low end computers. But then again, are players likely to have many in one area? If not I guess it is fine, but I would still make the changes at some point.

It's not supposed to have that much on the screen at the same moment as they will need to have other blocks surrounding them, but yes, once I released it I'll see the feedback
