[Solved]How do I load textures?

[Gurman8r]

Hello ,all. So I just started making a new mod after scrapping my old one that i had for 1.4.6 and I noticed that the texture loading is different.

 

I've figured out how to load textures for blocks and items using the unlocalized name etc., but how do I load a texture for an item that I render as a 3D model? Meaning when I have the item in my hand it loads as the 3D model but uses some random texture, as seen here -->http://i.imgur.com/3EWhtPc.png. How do I select the texture || just choose a path?

 

Also, in wuppy29's tutorials he puts the textures directly into minecraft.jar (which is what I've been doing) How would I reference the images when I export my mod? Again, I'm clueless on how to use a simple file path.

 

Will supply my code if needed.

 

Thanks in advance!

Anway...

 

 

When making the zip, you'll have two top-level folders inside your zip, the package that includes all of your compiled code (which will be in the reobf/ folder after compiling) and /mods (which will still be in the src/ directory).

 

If you're running 1.5.2, mods/ isn't required (just shift everything else up).

Actually, you do need /mods folder both in .zip and /src on 1.5.2. I've just updated my mc, forge, mcp, mod to 1.5.2 and tried different ways, and the only one to work was having .zip/mods/%modname%/textures/[items/blocks]/%texturename%.

Thanks for verifying.  I hadn't got around to checking myself, but I was basing my info off someone in 1.5.2 getting a "texture at /%mod%/textures/block/%block.png% not found" (note the lack of the mod folder).

 

So I've been cautious and saying "this works, if you're on 1.5.2, you might need to remove the /mods folder" as a thing to try.

Don't mention, glad to help.

Ok now I know how to load the textures for exported mods (thanks), but how would I load the texture for the model?

 

Here's the render file.

 

package mod.LooseEnds.render;

import mod.LooseEnds.model.ModelTorchGun;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.Render;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraftforge.client.IItemRenderer;
import net.minecraftforge.common.ForgeHooks;

import org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11;

public class RenderTorchGun extends Render implements IItemRenderer
{
protected ModelTorchGun launcherModel;

public RenderTorchGun()
{
	launcherModel = new ModelTorchGun();
}

@Override
public boolean handleRenderType(ItemStack item, ItemRenderType type)
{
	switch(type)
	{
	case EQUIPPED: return true;
	default: return false;
	}
}

@Override
public boolean shouldUseRenderHelper(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item,
		ItemRendererHelper helper) 
{

	return false;
}

@Override
public void renderItem(ItemRenderType type, ItemStack item, Object... data) 
{
	switch(type)
	{
	case EQUIPPED:
	{
		GL11.glPushMatrix();

		GL11.glRotatef(193F, 1.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F);
		GL11.glRotatef(166F, 0.0F, 1.0F, 0.0F);
		GL11.glRotatef(30F, 1.0F, 1.0F, 1.0F);
		GL11.glRotatef(16F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);


		GL11.glTranslatef(-.65F, -0.00F, -0.1F);

		float scale = 0.6F;

		GL11.glScalef(scale, scale, scale);

		GL11.glTranslatef(0, 0, 0);

		launcherModel.render((Entity)data[1], 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0F, 0.0635F);

		GL11.glPopMatrix();
	}
	default:
		break;
	}

}

@Override
public void doRender(Entity entity, double d0, double d1, double d2,
		float f, float f1) {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

}

Place texture wherever you want and use

bindTextureByName("path_to_your_texture.png");

Place texture wherever you want and use

bindTextureByName("path_to_your_texture.png");

 

Says the method doesn't exist... what do I do? What should i call to impliment the method?

And sorry mister sassy, i searched the forums and couldn't find any. Thanks though, your way worked.

[Gurman8r]

Nevermind, found it.

 

It was;

GL11.glBindTexture(GL11.GL_TEXTURE_2D, FMLClientHandler.instance().getClient().renderEngine.getTexture("/path/"));

I've posted that same image like eight times in the last week.

 

Let's see, searching this forum for "textures..."

 

Results 2, 4, 12, 14, 17 (this thread), 25, 26, and 30.

 

Yeah, it's totally not anywhere.
