Naitenne's tutorials series

[Naiten]

Hello. I've wrote some tutorials for modding in forge, you can find them here. If you have any suggestions or comments, post them here, i'll look if i can help.

[Naiten]

If i don't use them, my tile entity doesn't save variables. Why should i not use them if they are used in all default tile entity classes?

[Naiten]

Oh, okay, not in all. But how is it made, i wonder? I does not save them for me without packet.

[Naiten]

TileEntitySignRenderer don't use packets, but can freely use tile entities fields. How that's made?

[Naiten]

Oh. Tell me that way i should do that so it will save my variables and i'll do that.

Added a tutorial on custom tile entity renderer. Enjoy.

[Naiten]

Okay, you are right, sorry. Then, help me...  I have this code in my block

public void onNeighborBlockChange(World world, int i, int j, int k, int par5)
{
   TileEntityBlockWRail tl = (TileEntityBlockWRail) world.getBlockTileEntity(i, j, k);
   if (tl != null)
   {
      System.out.println("mid = "+tl.mid);
   }
}

So, i'm sure it saves my variables. And in my tile entity renderer i have

int id = tl.mid;
   switch (id)
   {
    case 0: renderStraight(); break;
    case 1: renderCurveRight(); break;
    and so on...
   }

But it always renders the 0 renderer.

[Naiten]

Aaaa!!! Okay. How do i do that?

[Naiten]

I haven't wrote a tutorial on adding packets to tile entity renderer.

---

While i was writing a tutorial, just placing packets in the TE worked... Now i need to s/l the game for TER to draw placed blocks correctly. If i place new, they are now rendered correctly. Wtf.

[Naiten]

I did it that way.

---

Oh, i've fixed my bug. I just had to set block with flag 0x02 that will update blocks. Now it works fine.

[Naiten]

Added a new tutorial. Comment, please.

I really like it so far.

I don't know whether you got my PM or not, but my idea is: Please make a tutorial on how to create a pipe system like to one in BuildCraft (I think?) to transport items in them.

 

Thanks in advance! Keep the good work up! 

[Naiten]

Uh, i'm not sure if i can do that.

I followed your custom tile entity render tutorial, but my model that I made in techne came up upside down and off center in mc, any tips or solution to the problem?
