Start new topic

Posted February 18, 201312 yr

I have a mod but would like to make a cape for dev team and testers,and then a seperate one for donaters but dont have a single clue as to how.I would also like to know the demensions for the cape texture and maybe even a template .png

I would like to know how to make a cape as well. I know the Industrial Craft 2 modders have an IC2 cape

February 18, 201312 yr

As far as altering the url for capes, no methods have really been found.

I've found a mod on the forums, brand new one, that renders capes. you could ask them.

I guess it was called rpg inventory or something. the capes ar a work in progress though.

but what would we put there? the image location? and it still doesn't tell us the dimensions of the cape.

and even how do we tell who gets the cape and what do we put,because just that one line will not suffice

and even how do we tell who gets the cape and what do we put,because just that one line will not suffice

you could use an if statement for the player's username. I did this

if(player.username == "USERNAME_ ONE" || player.username == "USERNAME_TWO" || player.username == "USERNAME_THREE")
	{
		player.playerCloakUrl = "";
	}

but I have no clue what the url should be.

player.username == "USERNAME_ ONE"

this is not how strings should be compared! http://stackoverflow.com/questions/513832/how-do-i-compare-strings-in-java

I believe it's just URL, so you put there something like "http://www.anirudh.net/courses/cse585/project2/results_runs/images/lenna.gif" (e.g. link to a picture on imageshack).

mnn.getNativeLang() != English

If I helped you please click on the "thank you" button.

Anyone have any progress on figuring it out??

March 7, 201312 yr

Just so you guys know, Mojang frowns on Capes mods.. You need to download the cape after you set the URL.

minecraftInstance.renderEngine.obtainImageData(URL, *IMAGE BUFFER*);

Oh endershadow, I like your avatar..

March 7, 201312 yr

Oh endershadow, I like your avatar..

I take it you like code lyoko?

EDIT: where is minecraftInstance?

March 7, 201312 yr

haha yeah.. minecraftInstance is the current minecraft instance. Minecraft.getMinecraft();

March 7, 201312 yr

I'm actually making a mod for minecraft based on code lyoko. and what's the buffer?

March 7, 201312 yr

Oh! I was gonna do that hahaha can i help? The buffer is an image buffer. you can just use the minecraft ImageBufferDownload class. just pass in new ImageBufferDownload().

March 7, 201312 yr

one last question, where do I put the code? do I put it in the client proxy. ya, you can help. depends on what you'd be able to help with though.

March 7, 201312 yr

Well, a tick handler.. I don't know, how far are you? PM me.

March 9, 201312 yr

I made an API for your Developer cape needs. It uses a txt file that has all the usernames you need in it. The txt file is hosted on a server like dropbox. The capes are also hosted there, and all the groups and urls are given in the txt file. Don't worry if that sounds complicated, a sample is given on the GitHub.

made a modpack but i get this error every time i try to launch minecraft

[main/ERROR]:Failed reading REFMAP JSON from : java.lang.NullPointerException Cannot invoke "org.spongepowered.asm.mixin.refmap.ReferenceMapper.setResourceName(String)" because "mapper" is null

this is the error message i keep getting when trying to launch minecraft from the launcher with my mods but i just can't figure out what this error message means. i'm new to making mod packs but i have tried making 3 separate mod packs with different mods but i still run into this issue and i am starting to think there might be a conflict between 2 different mods but again i have no idea since this is the only error message i get. any idea's?

Add the crash-report or latest.log (logs-folder) with sites like https://mclo.gs/ and paste the link to it here

How Do I Commission A Mod

There typically isnt a place to commission mods. Mods are made by hobbyist programmers in their spair time. You could try some general minecraft modding discords, but I dont have any to recommend.

jarJar not working

minecraftLibrary is required for dev time for it to load.
jarJar should be enough for runtime.
be sure you're running the latest forge. And make sure you post your debug log.
