Hi,

I've finally got to work my custom minecart entity called EntityTramc which extends EntityMinecart and for testing purposes, it has ride ability turned off and does nothing besides that. And it got to work. To replace a model of minecart into a testing box (which will become a tram soon), I created a class called RenderTramc:

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public class RenderTramc extends RenderMinecart<EntityTramc>
{
    public RenderTramc(RenderManager renderManagerIn)
    {
        super(renderManagerIn);
        this.modelMinecart = new ModelTramc();
        System.out.println("RenderTramc loaded");
    }
  ...

and ModelTramc() is a function in a ModelTramc.class which is auto-generated model class (made by some model creator).

 

To register RenderTramc I created a render handler:

public class RenderHandler {
	public static void registerEntityRenders()
	{
		RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityTramc.class, new IRenderFactory<EntityTramc>()
		{
			@Override
			public Render<? super EntityTramc> createRenderFor(RenderManager manager)
			{
				return new RenderTramc(manager);
		});
	}
}

and called it in a registry handler by subscribe event:

@SubscribeEvent
	public static void onItemRegister(RegistryEvent.Register<Item> event)
	{
		event.getRegistry().registerAll(ModItems.ITEMS.toArray(new Item[0]));
		event.getRegistry().registerAll(ModItems.ITEMS.toArray(new Item[1]));
		RenderHandler.registerEntityRenders();
	}
...

I know it's very ugly to call it in that way but I just want to get it work, optimization will come next.

A RenderTramc() function is being called at the very beginning of the game (I got the System.out message) but it doesn't change a minecart model at all. I know I've messed up with something but I don't really see where is it. So, any help will be appreciated.

Your rendering registry code should probably be in the client side modelLoad event. Also can you show it?

Hello again; so I'm back into Minecraft modding. I analyzed my code a bit and it seems like an overriding function for rendering function is never being called. And why I think it is so - it's because when I create my own minecart entity, it spawns a regular modelled minecart, without null pointer exception or any graphical issues - and a default minecart model in my entity is never replaced by my mod (I don't mean replace original minecart model, but my modded entity model - default is minecart).

 

So, am I thinking right? Also, I tried to register entity renders in model loader with no luck:

@SubscribeEvent
	public static void modelRegister(ModelLoader event)
	{
		if(Minecraft.getMinecraft().world.isRemote)
		{
			RenderHandler.registerEntityRenders();
		}
	}
...

But I think that it just couldn't work. Can anyone help?

Cool! What's this do?

 

Also:

ModelLoader event

Seriously?

1) You don't use it

2) Where did you get it

3) Any method you might want is static

As I wrote in my first post, this is my RenderHandler class:

public class RenderHandler {
	public static void registerEntityRenders()
	{
		RenderingRegistry.registerEntityRenderingHandler(EntityTramc.class, new IRenderFactory<EntityTramc>()
		{
			@Override
			public Render<? super EntityTramc> createRenderFor(RenderManager manager)
			{
				return new RenderTramc(manager);
		});
	}
}

And RenderTramc() :

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public class RenderTramc extends RenderMinecart<EntityTramc>
{
    public RenderTramc(RenderManager renderManagerIn)
    {
        super(renderManagerIn);
        this.modelMinecart = new ModelTramc();
        System.out.println("RenderTramc loaded");
    }
  ...

I know I messed up with something but I still don't get the point. Entities are still quite puzzling to me.

 

EDIT:

Note that RenderTramc class is not fully pasted but it's (I think) not needed for help purposes.
