Is it possible to register a texture file for a new villager outside of the mods 'modname.zip/jar' file?

so far i am using :

VillagerRegistry.instance().registerVillagerType( id, tPath);

but the path option "../texturename.png" does not work.

Is it somehow posible to get the textur from outside the mod package?

 

Thx for reading,

Why do you want to do that?

why is it allways this question?

 

I want to do that because i am working on a mod where you can add new kinds of viallagers by '*.cfg' and so i want to have a folder in the config folder where the user can add his texture for the villager he adds with the mod.

 

maybe try "texturename.png" without the slash, or just make it read inside the mod folder with "/mods/modid/textures/texturename.png"

but i dont want to read inside the mod folder. i want the textures more easy accessable for the user

I don't know, but a good place to look would be Configuration.

 

Keep in mind, though, that if you don't put the texture in the jar, it'll be harder to package the mod. (and it won't be compatible with launchers)

the idea is that there will be no textures providet by me. it is intendet for the player to do that. that's why i want it outside the mod file, to keep the mod seperated from the stuff the user adds.

the final thing is intendet to be a do it your selve villager kit

Configurations was of no help.

Does anyone have an other idea?
