Variable Fluid Textures

[STEENBRINK]

So I am updating my mod from 1.7.2 (haven't had time for a while). 
In that mod I used a crafting fluid for a crafting part of my mod. 

I rendered the crafting fluid with the mbt tags of the fluids that went in like this:

@Override
	public IIcon getIcon(FluidStack stack) {
	NBTTagCompound nbtTagCompound = stack.tag;
	if (nbtTagCompound.hasKey("FluidPrimary")) {
	FluidStack primaryFluid = FluidStack.loadFluidStackFromNBT(nbtTagCompound.getCompoundTag("FluidPrimary"));
	if (primaryFluid == null) return null;
	return primaryFluid.getFluid().getIcon(primaryFluid);
	}
	return null;
	}

That is not working anymore, obviously, but I can not figure out a way to do this now, since the resourcelocations are set in the constructor and cannot be eddited in any way, as far as I know.

 

Is there a way to accomplish this now?

IIcon doesn’t exist anymore, it was replaced by the baked model system in 1.8

I know that... I say that in the post: "That is not working anymore, obviously"

What are you trying to accomplish exactly? Where do you want to render the fluid? In the item's model? In your GUI? In the world?

I have a barrel TileEntity, the idea is that you mix two fluids in there and it makes a third.
The way that is done, is by having a intermediate fluid, the so called CraftingFluid.

Here is the recepe handler for that (from 1.7.10):
https://github.com/STEENBRINK/Kaasmod-2-1.7.10/blob/master/src/main/java/nl/steenbrink/kaasmod/init/RecipesBarrel.java 

 

The way I render this CraftingFluid in the barrel is by taking the texture from the first added fluid (or primary fluid) by using nbt on the fluidstack.

Now there used to be a way to get the IIcon from the FluidStack.

@Override
	public IIcon getIcon(FluidStack stack) {
	NBTTagCompound nbtTagCompound = stack.tag;
	if (nbtTagCompound.hasKey("FluidPrimary")) {
	FluidStack primaryFluid = FluidStack.loadFluidStackFromNBT(nbtTagCompound.getCompoundTag("FluidPrimary"));
	if (primaryFluid == null) return null;
	return primaryFluid.getFluid().getIcon(primaryFluid);
	}
	return null;
	}

My question is if there is a way to "set" the texture outside the constructor, because it changes every time I make a new craftingfluid.

Otherwise I will have to rewrite the whole crafting thingamagic.

I hope this clears it up a bit.

Why do you need this "crafting fluid" in the first place? Why not just store the first/primary fluid and display it's texture?

...Change what the getter returns? All FluidStack calls route back to the Fluid that it is't, well, fluid.

You have to do it regardless since IIcon no longer exists though.
