Error when loading OBJ model in 1.12.2

[Colored Sheep]

The error that I am getting is:

 

[main/ERROR] [FML]: Exception loading model for variant levoment_hammertools:itemwoodsuperaxe#inventory for item "levoment_hammertools:itemwoodsuperaxe", normal location exception: 

 

and attached to it

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: levoment_hammertools:models/item/itemwoodsuperaxe.json

 

This is my repository.

 

Why is it looking for a JSON in that place when it should be looking for the Blockstate JSON and then load the OBJ from the path in the Blockstate resource JSON?

Your folder is named assets.modid

it needs to be 2 folders (/assets/modid/)

You also have to register your modid with the ObjLoader IIRC.

- A common proxy doesn’t make sense

- You MUST instantiate your objects in the appropriate registry events. Not doing this can lead to a number of bugs and/or crashes

- you’re using a bunch of other bad/outdated code practices that don’t work on modern forge versions

Thanks. That was the problem. The MODID value was incorrect and I needed 2 folders in the resources.

 

Now the models load and display properly.

 

May I ask why a Common Proxy doesn't make sense? I always thought that if a code needs to be executed on both, ClientProxy and ServerProxy, one could always do it from a common place instead of writing the code in each side separately. Plus one could always override methods in subclasses of a Common Proxy.

 

All in all, even though it works now, I think you are right. I must re-write the whole thing from scratch. This is a mod that started in 1.10.2 which I then ported to 1.11.2 and now finally I port it to 1.12.2. But I guess most of the things that most modders did back in the day have changed.

You might want to look at https://github.com/Cadiboo/Example-Mod/ as it explains stuff like CommonProxy. It also has links at the bottom of the README to other mods (VoidWalker’s mods probably use obj models)

If code needs to be executed on both, then it shouldn't be in a proxy at all.
