Hello,

 

I was wondering if it was possible for me to get a localized block name. I am trying to get the block name as the lore but it shows up as "blockEmerald" if i was to add an emerald. I was wondering how to localize the name so it would display as "Emerald Block", the localized version of the block.

 

 

My Item code:

 

package mrkirby153.MscHouses.items;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.logging.Level;

import mrkirby153.MscHouses.api.MaterialRegistry;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayer;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.util.Icon;
import net.minecraft.util.MathHelper;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

public class ItemModifyer_Extra extends Item {
public int[] modifyer_id;
public ArrayList<Block> material;
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
private Icon[] field_94594_d;
public ItemModifyer_Extra(int par1) {
	super(par1);
	this.setHasSubtypes(true);
	this.setMaxDamage(0);
	material = MaterialRegistry.blocks;
	this.makeSubItems();
	this.modifyer_id = new int[material.size()];
	this.setCreativeTab(MscHouses.tabHouse_moduel);
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public Icon getIconFromDamage(int par1) {
	int j = MathHelper.clamp_int(par1, 0, 15);
	return this.field_94594_d[j];
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister) {
	this.field_94594_d = new Icon[material.size()];

	for(int i =0; i < material.size(); i++){
		this.field_94594_d[i] = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("MscHouses:Cusom_modifyer");
	}
	//	LogHelper.log(Level.INFO, "Succesfully loaded " + modifyer_id.length + " textures");
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void getSubItems(int itemID, CreativeTabs tab,
		List itemList) {
	for(int i = 0; i < material.size(); i++){
		itemList.add(new ItemStack(itemID,1,i));
	}
}

@Override
public String getUnlocalizedName(ItemStack item) {
	return this.getUnlocalizedName() + "." + modifyer_id[item.getItemDamage()];
}

public void makeSubItems(){
	Block var2;
	Block[] var3 = new Block[material.size()];

	var3 = material.toArray(var3);
	for(int i = 1; i < var3.length; i++){
		var2 = var3[i];
		this.modifyer_id[i] = var2.blockID;
		LogHelper.log(Level.INFO, "Created sub item for item id " + var2.blockID);

	}
}

@Override
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void addInformation(ItemStack par1ItemStack, EntityPlayer par2EntityPlayer, List par3List, boolean par4) {
	Block[] var1 = new Block[material.size()];
	var1 = material.toArray(var1);
	par3List.add(var1[par1ItemStack.getItemDamage()].getUnlocalizedName2());
	//	par3List.add(LanguageRegistry.instance().addStringLocalization(var1[par1ItemStack.getItemDamage()].getUnlocalizedName(), Block.);
}

}

 

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(myItem,1,myMetadata),"My Item");

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(myItem,1,myMetadata),"My Item");

 

I cannot do that because I am already using that to give the item its name. I want to give it a custom lore WITHOUT having to hard code the item names/lore into it manually.

LanguageRegistry.addName(new ItemStack(myItem,1,myMetadata),"My Item");

Oh. Well, you can use my code then.

 

	for(String i:(Set<String>) StringTranslate.getInstance().getLanguageList().keySet()){
		lang.put(i,new HashMap<String,String>());
	}
	BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(modsbfp.class.getResourceAsStream("/mods/sbfp/lang/sbfp.lang")));
	try{
		String q, l = null;
		while((q = br.readLine())!=null){
			if(q.equals("")||q.charAt(0)=='#'){
				continue;
			}
			if(q.contains("=")){
				String key = q.substring(0,q.indexOf("="));
				String value = q.substring(q.indexOf("=")+1);
				LanguageRegistry.instance().addStringLocalization(key,l,value);
			}else{
				l = q;
			}
		}
	}catch(IOException e){
		e.printStackTrace();
	}

 

It works for multiple languages too. Here's the lang file, so you know how that works:

No, the long lines of hashmarks are not necessary. I just use them to seperate languages.

but how would i get the lang from the default language file?

Why would you need to?

Actually, I sort of need to get the block name from a different mod. See, I am writing an API for my mod and sort of need to get the localized block name that the mod author sets for display on my item.

Regardless of how they set it:

StringTranslate.getInstance().translateKey("whatever");

So, for the "whatever" do I just pass in an unlocalized name given through block.getUnlocalizedName()?

Yes.

Nota Bene: that function will return the translated key for the currently loaded language. If you want any other language, you will have to mess with StringTranslate itself—loadLanguage() is private.

That didn't really work. If  I pass in getUnlocalozedName(), it prints out tile.blockDiamond. if i was to pass Block.diamond into it. If I pass getUnlocalozedName2(), it prints out blockDiamond. I want it to print out "Diamond Block". How do i do that?

StringTranslate.getInstance().translateKey("whatever");

Instead of "whatever" you put... either the first or the second, I can't remember.

I've tried both unlocalized names and neither worked.

I have been known to give people complicated solutions when simple ones are there. Derp.

 

Try BlockDiamond.getLocalizedName()?
