I need to learn how to do this - Auto-replace version

[American2050]

So, long time ago I asked and was told it was not easy, that I stick to doing it manually, but I think it's time to do it, and learn how to do it. Even if it's not easy, it can't be impossible and should there be someone that can explain it on an easy way step by step.

 

The question is easy, how do I make so I can change the version of my mode in only 1 place, and it gets updated on ModInfo.java / mcmod.info and build.gradle

 

I think it's the same Forge example that comes with a {$version} or something like that, but I never knew how to use it.

 

Thanks a lot for the help

It's actually pretty easy. Just look up the ModMetadata class, and then get an instance of it from FMLPreInitializationEvent#getModMetadata

I don't think that is what American means, I think he wants his ModInfo class (Which is presumably used for his @Mod annotation) and his mcmod.info file to be automatically updated from a gradle build property.

Yes I guess that is, gonna take a look to see if I figure out how this works.

That is basically what already comes with the example mod I believe, that I don't know how to get it working. So.... kinda lost here. There must be more than just those def and that replace line, because when I try to build I get

...post...your...code...

 

Like, your gradle.build file and your main mod class.

[American2050]

So today, I redid it, so I could post the error I was getting, and for some reason I don't get the error anymore. So not sure, if either I did something different today, or if the other day it was Gradle doing some weird stuff.

Now the problem is, that it's not doing anything. Not sure what I'm missing.

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'net.minecraftforge.gradle:ForgeGradle:2.2-SNAPSHOT'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle.forge'
//Only edit below this line, the above code adds and enables the necessary things for Forge to be setup.

def modVersion = "0.1.1"
def mcVersion = "1.11.2"


version = modVersion+"-["+mcVersion+"]"
group = "com.mramericanmike.karatgarden"
archivesBaseName = "KaratGarden"

sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = "1.8"
compileJava {
    sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = "1.8"
}

minecraft {
    version = "1.11.2-13.20.0.2296"
    runDir = "run"
    
    // the mappings can be changed at any time, and must be in the following format.

}

processResources {
    // this will ensure that this task is redone when the versions change.
    inputs.property "version", project.version
    inputs.property "mcversion", project.minecraft.version

    // replace stuff in mcmod.info, nothing else
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        include 'mcmod.info'
                
        // replace version and mcversion
        expand 'version':project.version, 'mcversion':project.minecraft.version
    }
        
    // copy everything else except the mcmod.info
    from(sourceSets.main.resources.srcDirs) {
        exclude 'mcmod.info'
    }
}

 

 

I see the "processResources" there, I assume it's related with what I want to achieve here, but again, not sure, and don't understand what's going on there, that's why I'm asking here. That is all default as it comes with Forge

 

I do believe 1 time it did replaced somewhere, because when I launch on a test environment the built jar I get this:

 

 

So a 0.1.1 from somewhere and somewhere, got replaced.

[American2050]

Anyone has a clear guide for this explaining step by step everything that is needed?

 

I see once again I wont learn how to do this

 

I guess it's not just 1 line of code as Draco posted, but I need more stuff somewhere for this to work
