Adding and Implementing a new method?

[HydroBane]

Hi

 

So I'm creating a test mod to try a few things out to make my real mod easier to add things to.

Basically, I use the method below to get my textures.

 

@Override
public  void registerIcons(IconRegister reg) {
this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(TestMod.modID +":" + this.getUnlocalizedName2());
}

 

What I want, is to organize my textures into folders within the textures/blocks folder.

Correct me if I'm wrong, or if there's a better method, but to do this I could use this:

 

@Override
public  void registerIcons(IconRegister reg) {
this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(TestMod.modID +":" + this.texureFolder + "/" + this.getUnlocalizedName2());
}

 

This is my dilemma.

Is there a method I could create to assign a different textureFolder to each individual block/item?

 

Thanks in advance

The best way to figure that out is to just do it.

That's my point, I don't know how to create a method that can do that.

I mean, just put the textures in the folder you want them to be in. And if they work, you can just use that more if you want to.

It won't though. The mod is looking for them in the blocks/items texture folder. I'd need to specify the folder in my class for it to recognise them

Okay, so I've found a solution to the problem.

 

By changing this:

this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(TestMod.modID + ":" + this.textureType + "/" + this.getUnlocalizedName2());

 

To this:

this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(TestMod.modID + ":" + "TestFolder1" + "/" + this.getUnlocalizedName2());

 

I can change it, but I'd still prefer to use the top, as I would like to use the textureType method  in more than one scenario.

 

For now though, unless anyone can help me, I'm okay
