Overwriting Tooltips

[BeardlessBrady]

My mod adds some information to the tool tips of ItemStacks well they are in one of my Containers. Well I have NEI installed it seems to overwrite it.

 

Container Class: https://github.com/BeardlessBrady/Currency-Mod/blob/master/src/main/java/gunn/modcurrency/client/guis/GuiBuySell.java

 

Before NEI is Installed

 

With NEI

 

Any ideas how to fix this?

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
list.add(String.valueOf(currStack.getDisplayName()));
list.add("$" + (String.valueOf(tile.getItemCost(slot))));

FontRenderer font = stack.getItem().getFontRenderer(stack);
net.minecraftforge.fml.client.config.GuiUtils.preItemToolTip(stack);
this.drawHoveringText(list, x, y, (font == null ? fontRendererObj : font));
net.minecraftforge.fml.client.config.GuiUtils.postItemToolTip();

Try adding the cost after the tooltip event, as NEI might tinker with that.

 

Also, not that you should, but you should probably use JEI instead of NEI, because NEI is doing some unnecessary core-modding which JEI doesn't. And as we all know, core-modding is bad.

I think, however, that WAILA relies on NEI, and there is not a WAILA equivalent for JEI.

It's not really me using NEI, was a user of the mod. Just trying to fix it for them

Also I tried adding the cost after the post, didnt work either. Thanks though!

Waila converted NEI to an optional dependency towards the end of 1.7.10 (here) and then removed entirely in 1.8.8 (here).

 

Unfortunately Waila isn't really being actively developed any more, but there are two main alternatives:

• Hwyla (GitHub), a fork of Waila that's being actively developed by TehNut
  
• The One Probe (GitHub), a completely separate mod developed by McJty

I'll let the user know thanks
