[1.8.9] Custom Sounds?

Posted April 10, 20178 yr

After scouring the internet for hours hoping to find a tutorial that would moderately work for adding custom sounds to a custom mob, I finally came across a video tutorial that made sense. However, it was for 1.10.2/1.11.2, and eclipse is throwing errors I don't know how to fix.

The mob is called a New Guinea Singing Dog, and it is virtually a copy of the Minecraft wolf. The only difference is in place of barking like a minecraft wolf in its LivingSound, it howls. Or at least, that's what I would like it to do.

EnityNewGuineaSingingDog.java

Note that the class is so short because it inherits all of its wolf code from EntityVariedWolf.

package slvr.LupineMod.entities;

import net.minecraft.world.World;
import slvr.LupineMod.Reference;

public class EntityNewGuineaSingingDog extends EntityVariedWolf{
	
	public EntityNewGuineaSingingDog(World dWorld){
		super(dWorld);
	}
	
	protected void entityInit(){
		super.entityInit();
		this.setWolfType(14);
	}
	
	@Override
	protected String getLivingSound()
    {
        return this.isAngry() ? "mob.wolf.growl" : (this.rand.nextInt(3) == 0 ? (this.isTamed() && this.dataWatcher.getWatchableObjectFloat(18) < 10.0F ? "mob.wolf.whine" : "mob.wolf.panting") : "mob.newguineasingingdog.singer_howl");
    }

}

sounds.json

{
"mob.newguineasingingdog.singer_howl":{
"category": "hostile",
"sounds":[{"name":"slupinemod:mob/newguineasingingdog/singer_howl","stream":true}]
}
}

SingerSoundHandler.java

package slvr.LupineMod;

import java.io.File;

import net.minecraft.client.Minecraft;
import net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.sound.SoundEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.client.event.sound.SoundLoadEvent;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.eventhandler.SubscribeEvent;

public class SingerSoundHandler {
	
	private static int size = 0;
	
	public static SoundEvent SINGER_HOWL;
	
	public static void init() {
		size = SoundEvent.REGISTRY.getKeys().size();
		
		SINGER_HOWL = register("mob.newguineasingingdog.singer_howl");
	}
	
	public static SoundEvent register(String name) {
		ResourceLocation location = new ResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID, name);
		SoundEvent e = new SoundEvent(location);
		
		SoundEvent.REGISTRY.register(size, location, e);
		size++;
		return e;
	}
}

My problem lies in the SingerSoundHandler.

At this-

public static void init() {
size = SoundEvent.REGISTRY.getKeys().size();

it says "REGISTRY cannot be resolved or is not a field."

At this-

ResourceLocation location = new ResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID, name);
SoundEvent e = new SoundEvent(location);

It says "the SoundEvent ResourceLocation is undefined."

And at this-

SoundEvent.REGISTRY.register(size, location, e);

It just says that "REGISTRY cannot be resolved or is not a field" again.

I'm assuming a lot of this is technical naming detail, but I am still pretty new to modding, and no tutorials I have found have seemed to clear this up at all. I would be EXTREMELY grateful for some help!

Is it private? Look for a getRegistry method.

The debugger is a powerful and necessary tool in any IDE, so learn how to use it. You'll be able to tell us more and get better help here if you investigate your runtime problems in the debugger before posting.

Minecraft only added the SoundEvent system in 1.9, it doesn't exist in 1.8.9. The SoundEvent class you're referencing is the base class for Forge's sound-related events.

I don't remember exactly how the sound system worked in 1.8.9, but I'm pretty sure you just needed the sounds.json file; all the registration was handled automatically.

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

I recall reading something like this yet when I attempted to run the game, the mob would attempt to make the sound but would spit an error out in console. I'll revert it to that code and see exactly whatit does again.

Thank you for yalls help, I did figure out that it was because I didn't do "slupinemod: before the file name in the mob's class! However, now Im having another small issue... I just don't quite know how to do this, haha.

I want the New Guinea Singing Dog to howl, but he howls very frequently. So I was thinking it would also be nice if he would bark instead of howl sometimes too. However, this mess here:

@Override
	protected String getLivingSound()
    {
        return this.isAngry() ? "mob.wolf.growl" : (this.rand.nextInt(3) == 0 ? (this.isTamed() && this.dataWatcher.getWatchableObjectFloat(18) < 10.0F ? "mob.wolf.whine" : "mob.wolf.panting") : "slupinemod:mob.newguineasingingdog.singer_howl");
    }

makes my brain hurt. I want the NGSD to sometimes bark as well as howl. How would I go about writing that in?

Again, any help is greatly appreciated. thanks all

I suggest using a series of if statements here, it will be easier to read than three nested ternary statements.

Try replacing implementation with minecraftLibrary. Dependencies in the minecraftLibrary configuration are added to your compile and runtime classpaths in ForgeGradle 6.

Failed loading villager cartographer registered at cartographer - frozen tick

Allocated 10 Gb of ram. Could try again with more but I read using too much can slow things down as well. Going to try another big modpack and see if i can replicate the problem. It seems like this cartographer problem is kind of popular and doesn't have a solid solution yet, but i suspect its some generation mod since it's a crash that happens when specific chunks are being loaded. so i'll still try to lookout for what mod it could be as i add. i'll report back after testing as you suggested for a bit
