the errors are under .montionY and .fallDistance , i dont know why these are errors they work perfectly in my other blocks, maybe something to do with this block being a ladder.

 

error three

        {

}

this error is under func_85052_h i assume the function has been renamed once again couldnt find the replacement anywhere.

 

i have searched the internet for answers to these problems and have found none i am trying to use this place as a last resort because some of the people on here get a bit cranky when i make noob mistakes or basic java error because of my lack of knowledge and for this i am sorry. if anyone could please help me solve these errors i would be very grateful. this is my first major update too so  if there is any obvious updating mistakes let me know.

 

P.S

i know i haven't updated my item or block textures yet i am doing that now i just thought i would give you lovely people some time to have a looky at these ones whilst i do

 

[ashtonr12]

thankyou for your quick response i have solved errors one and two and am about to loo into chestgenhooks

[ashtonr12]

ok so i have done all my textures but i just cannot get that dungeon chest hook thing

the best i have is

	 ChestGenHooks.addDungeonLoot(new ItemStack(ashtonsmod.LSboots), 5, 1, 1);

 

but its missing an argument and the visibility of the hook is private anywho ?

im stuck...

[ashtonr12]

what's the category? you never used to need one of those? and where do i put the spawn rates? and rarity and such? are they connected?

[ashtonr12]

ok so something like this?

ChestGenHooks.addItem(dungeonChest, ashtonsmod.IngotBush.blockID,1 ,1 ,1);

but where can i find the catagories? because the one i have specified is incorrect

[ashtonr12]

i thought about that class

and i saw

public static final String DUNGEON_CHEST            = "dungeonChest";

and assumed that dungeonChest was the catagory but that was wrong so i tried DUNGEON_CHEST but that didnt work either

i am trying

[ashtonr12]

OK sorry I wasn't specific enough the code is invalid an red error line appears under the area where i am meant to put a category no matter what I seem to put except null but that would defeat the point correct?

 

maybe it starts like this?

ChestGenHooks.DUNGEON_CHEST

but i dont know how to finish the line if this is the case.

[ashtonr12]

i know but if i type

 

ChestGenHook. it suggest .DUNGEON_CHEST and .addItem and viable methods for adding loot to a dungeon chest.

 

if i choose .DUNGEONCHEST i cant fingure out how to finish the line

if i choose . add Item the generated line is

 

ChestgenHook.addItem(catagory, item);

 

then i change it too

 

ChestGenHook.addItem(catagory, ashtonsmod.IngotBush,1,1,1);

 

and i cannot figure out a catagory variable that does not become an error.

the 1,1,1 is the max, min and chance correct? that is not an error i just wanted to check.

[ashtonr12]

an instance is the = new thing right?

 

something like this?

 

ChestGenHooks.DUNGEON_CHEST = new ItemStack(ashtonsmod.IngotBush, 1, 1, 1);

[Chibill]

And it not his fault forge or minecraft rewrote the dungin chests so stop yelling at him!!!

[ashtonr12]

no need to start getting upset with each other

i do not know very much about java at it isnt my fualt that they changed the dungeon hooks thing but all i am looking for the new solution, last night i got this far;

 

chestGenHooks.additem("dungenChest", new WeightedRandomChestContent(1,1,1,1,1))

 

and i know what some of the didgets do but not all of them and i cant find the right order and i dnot know if this is actually correct it just gives no errors

(the didgets are maxstacksize, minstacksize,chance and i dont knwo the other two and i dont knwo the order)

if this is incorrect could someone just post the correct one? if it is correct can someone tell me the order of the numbers and what they each mean please?

[ashtonr12]

thats where i found the first three but i cant pt any order too them or discover what the other two are

[ashtonr12]

i did but clearly i dont understand or cant find them which is why i am asking for your help, as someone who can read find and understand the code.

[ashtonr12]

so you wont help me?

[dmillerw]

Jesus Christ.

 

This is a JavaDoc. It explains all of Forge's code in simple English. Go, read it, and read up on what you're trying to do.

[Chibill]

I am leaning java from Moding and that problem is in 1.5 they changed his hook for the dungeons and I have a mod that's going good 50 downloads but I am still updating to 1.5

[ashtonr12]

its not that bad of an idea as it is something you have an enthusiasm towards, the learning style is different.

if you learn java first then you just have to put in place what you have learnt, if you learn by modding then you just have to learn part by part. ie learn how to add a custom block, then a custom item, etc

and then in your next mod you already know how to do these things and if you forget you can refer to your old one

[Chibill]

I am leaning java from Moding

That is a very very bad idea.

and that problem is in 1.5 they changed his hook for the dungeons and I have a mod that's going good 50 downloads but I am still updating to 1.5

It was depreciated looong before (if you weren't learning java from modding you'd know what that means), so people had time to get away from it.

Was not depreciated in 1.4.7 or many forge tutorials good for 1.4.7 on the wiki were wrong because I was going to use it for my spawner item.

[ashtonr12]

and the more you do this the more you understand the language, the more you combine and mess with the code the more you understand it.

[Chibill]

I know c which is what java is made off of I understand java with out the need to learn it I can help but Realy stop bashing first time mod makes in the face with "Go learn java and then come back." That makes people mad.

[Jade_Knightblazer]

Having problems with Generated Loots in chests: The Items spawn correctly, however upon right Clicking the item in your Inventory that Item disappears (Gets removed). This occurs not all the time.

 

Here is an Example of the Code I use placed in my Load() Method.

 

ChestGenHooks.getInfo(ChestGenHooks.BONUS_CHEST).addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(mod_HarkenScythe.HSNecronomiconPage, 1), 0, 1, 5));

 

 

Yes I know what everything means, just I am coming across this odd glich.

[Torojima]

I know c which is what java is made off of I understand java

 

If you would know anything about coding, software architecture and programming languages, you would know how stupid this sentence is ... I am professionally coding within an legacy code base written in c and I'm writing GUI's in c# and I have build and coded software tools using java and I can tell you, if you know c, apart from basic structures like loops and branching, you do know nothing about java... and if you know "just" java, you'll probably get hurt if you get your hands dirty in pointer arithmetic...

 

with out the need to learn it I can help but Realy stop bashing first time mod makes in the face with "Go learn java and then come back." That makes people mad.

 

That is the only way to do it. Learn java (and as many other languages as you can), learn the ideas of oop, get to know about patterns, read about this patterns, use them, learn about the intrinsic attributes of the languages you are using, LEARN TO PRODUCE CLEAN CODE!!!, learn about software architecture and then and only then try to produce a mod that's more than yet another funny additional sword mod ...

 

And if you still don't get it after 20odd posts and still think you'll become an instant coding hero just by copying some lines from a tutorial into your main mod class, the tone you're addressed with will get a bit harsher, live with it ...

 

Btw, tutorials, I use them too, but it helps if you know why what is done is done, so you can vary the code and actually use the knowledge gained by following the tutorial. If you just copy paste the stuff found in the tutorials, not you will be the author of your mod, but the different tutorial authors and you have gained nothing ...
