Hey there, I am pretty new to modding... Ok, I tell a lie... I am a total noob at modding. This is my first ever mod, and so far I haven't encountered any issues.

But here is the problem(s) the second one isn't a must, but the first one is pretty vital

 

Ok, so I have my mob, named dragoone, which is a scaled down Enderdragon, which spawns in hilly biomes at night. I have the model working, not tested out the natural spawning yet, but if I encounter an issue with it then I will returneth to the forums. But here is the issue. The mob doesn't have a texture. Now I am using a custom enderdragon texture file for the dragoone, but when I set the path to the file using: this.texture = "/Minecraft/src/jordsta95/Mod/dragoone.png";

the texture doesn't appear on the mob. Am I doing something wrong with that?

 

The other issue is getting the mob to drop a custom item. The item is called DragonScale and is located in my main java file (Everything_and_More_Mod). But I have been unable to get the mob to drop any item, whether it be an item that I have added or a vanilla item. Here is the code I have used, on guidance from a tutorial:

protected int getDropItemId(){

return Everything_and_More_Mod.DragonScale.itemID;

 

Any help would be great

Thanks

Well, for the texture + model, are you using minecraft's enderdragon model? If not, I'd recommend using techne and creating your own texture, it would probably be easier. If not, then the texture might not be the right size for the model.

I added the texture in Techne, it isn't the enderdragon's file as the mob I am adding is smaller... but it is the same model

 

 

I set the path to the file using: this.texture = "/Minecraft/src/jordsta95/Mod/dragoone.png";

 

Assuming that the "this.texture" is actually being used by the renderer (tip: not always) then you need to specify the source like this:

 

this.texture = "/jordsta95/Mod/dragoone.png";

Still didn't work

 

The file is located here: C:\Users\UKGC\Desktop\Mod\MCP\src\minecraft\jordsta95\Mod with the filename: dragoone.png If that helps.

Does it plaster the entity with "texture missing", or is the entity invisible?

It has the white texture missing "file"

Can I see the Render code? Perhaps it is faulty.

I think I see your problem, on your texture file- you typed "/jordsta95/Mod/dragoone.png" instead of "\jordsta95\Mod\dragoone.png" see if that works.

Nope. The mob still didn't get textured

 

Hm.... are you sure that everything is spelled right in the picture location and on the picture? (Sorry if this sounds stupid).

What do you mean? As in the file is called dragoone.png?

If that is the question, then yes is the answer

Yeah, that was my question... Hmm... I've got nothing else, sorry....

Alright, thanks anyway

/facedesk.

 

I think I just found it!

 

Try and give it the entire file locations as in (C:Usernamehere/locationoffolder/foldername/picurename)

Which will fail as soon as you try to distribute your mod.

Ok I have the texture rendering now. Dunno what was wrong with it... the path I used is "/mob/dragoone.png"

 

Just putting this in here because I am sure that someone else may have this error. So make sure not to capitalise the M on mob or it won't work...

 

thanks for your help guys

If the folder has a lowercase 'm', then no wonder.
