Getting errors when trying to add texture override

Start new topic

Posted May 6, 201312 yr

When I try and add this line to my item:

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

@Override

public void updateIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

{

iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("PrimalCraft"+":"+"knappingStone");

}

: I get an error that says 'the method updateIcon(IconRegister) of type ItemKnappingStone must override or implement a supertype method'

and

'iconIndex cannot be resolved to a variable'

This is my first time modding in Forge, so I'm sure it's just a little thing I've overlooked. I just can't seem to figure it out!

Change updateIcons to registerIcons

Thanks for the response, that fixes the first error, but not the second one... Any ideas?

May 6, 201312 yr

Change iconindex to this.Icon

Again, thanks for the response. It had me change that to 'this.itemIcon' and then I get the missing texture thing when I play...

May 6, 201312 yr

what I have for the texture is ("mod/" + this.iconpath)

And I have public string iconpath

Then put the texture in jars = bin = minecraft.jar = textures = items or blocks = mod then put the texture in there

And this is for items

So what would I put? This?

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

@Override

public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

{

this.icon = iconRegister.registerIcon("PrimalCraft"+/"+iconpath);

}

May 6, 201312 yr

So what would I put? This?

public String iconPath

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

@Override

public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

{

this.Icon = iconRegister.registerIcon("mod/" + this.iconPath);

}

make it look like this and put the textures in the place I told you ok

Yikes! No!

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

$:-\$ Welp, still getting the missing texture. Put it where you said too... But at least the error are fixed!

Are you, perchance, using 1.5.2 and not 1.5.1?

I have seen rumor that the "mods/" top-level folder is unneeded, so instead of:

/mods/%modname%/textures/blocks/%block.png%

it's:

/%modname%/textures/blocks/%block.png%

But I haven't verified that yet myself.

So the complete directory would be 'forge/mcp/jars/%MODNAME%/textures/items/%ITEMNAME%/'

Is the correct? And if so, it's still not working.

Oh, and yes, I'm using 1.5.2

This thread makes me sad because people just post copy-paste-ready code when it's obvious that the OP has little to no programming experience. This is not how learning works.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
