Well, I'm starting up with probably less-than novice forge modding, and decided I'd give using texture sheets a shot. I quickly realized that counting was going to be a problem as I have blocks with separate purposes positioned away from each other. So instead of counting every time, I made a numbered texture sheet. This has probably been done before, but I couldn't find one that wasn't either numbered incorrectly or some other thing I'm picky about...

 

I figured that it might come in useful to someone besides myself, and wanted to share it.

 

 

0-255

 

00-FF

 

Protip, use hex.

I figured there was probably a better way... Thanks for the tip.

It'll still be up for grabs if someone wants it though.

 

 

Edit: Though, I won't lie. I really have no idea how I'd do that... I only know what hex is, really.

i do (r*16) + c

 

where r = row (0 - 15)

and c = column (0 - 15)

I understand what that's do, but I mainly only know about Visual Basic. I'm still reading up on the very basics of java, so I don't know exactly how to implement what you've mentioned.

 

Would an example of how you use it be a lot to ask? I'm a somewhat fast learner if you're willing to show a nub like me how it's done.

number all your blocks in hex, you'll see a pattern. It's quite easy.

well, in your block 2nd parameter you would have the block texture index (there is a nice tutorial for this on the forge wiki) and where you need to put the number of the texture index, you would put the 'formula' that i said (i really dont like calling it a formula...)

Oh! I see what you mean now.

Thanks very much for that. That does make it a ton easier. >.>

I will also try this method to see how I find it. Thanks to the both of you.

i like this textures, i add it to my github tutorial site

Go for it.
