Requesting Modder Support for TileEntities

[lombax]

Hello, I'm a bit new to modding and require some help with creating a TileEntity. I've tried creating one before, but with no success. I would also like to make the TileEntity render with a custom model. If you could contact me privately on skype to help via IM and/or Teamviewer, that would be much appreciated. Skype:vista4utoday

Look up the Techne modeler.

I use that, but I'm not sure how to implement it, as well as get a gui, use the BuildCraft API, and make it create items based on NBT data.

Use techne to export to Java, which will give you a rendering class (I haven't imported any yet myself, but it looks to be everything you'd need to create a custom renderer).

 

As for GUIs, those are immensely complicated (though you don't need a TE to make them).

 

Can't help you with the BuildCraft API.

Actually Techne exports only the model file. You have to make the render file for yourself (or use a pre-existing one). As for a TileEntity model, you need a TileEntitySpecialRenderer class and an ItemRenderer class (if you also want to render the model inside the inventory / when dropped / when held)

 

Guis aren't THAT complicated. For some GUIs, look at my TurretMod3 source: https://github.com/SanAndreasP/TurretModv3/tree/master/sanandreasp/mods/TurretMod3

Features also TileEntities with custom models.

Takes a large number of classes, plus packet handling, to pull off.  I'm inching along slowly with my own GUI project.
