[Solved] Item/Block Texture Locations?

[n80sire]

Ok, so I've got this item "GenericItem" with a Readable name and everything, but I can NOT give it a texture! I've looked at several forums, and what the wiki tells me is not correct, and ends up crashing. I've tried tons of locations, none with success. It always ends up as blank item that says "Missing Texture"

 

Here's my GenericItem.java

package tutorial.generic;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.LanguageRegistry;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class GenericItem extends Item
{
private Object iconIndex;
public GenericItem(int id)
{
	super(id);
	// Constructor Configuration
	this.setMaxStackSize(64);
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabMisc);
	this.setUnlocalizedName("genericItem");
	LanguageRegistry.addName(this, "Generic Item"); 
}
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void updateIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)//updateIcons
{
    iconIndex = iconRegister.registerIcon("Generic:genericItem");
}

}

What folder structure is it you are doing now?

Do you have the Png files inside the project explorer in eclipse?

[n80sire]

1)I don't understand completely what you mean by this. My project is in

 

C:\Users\N80sire\Desktop\Minecraft\Modding\forge\mcp\eclipse

 

and my textures are in

 

C:\Users\N80sire\Desktop\Minecraft\Modding\forge\mcp\jars\mods\Generic\textures\items

 

2) I don't believe so, If I do I cannot find them

[n80sire]

Nevermind. I figured it out.

The wiki wasn't very clear AT ALL.

Turns out when you put the textures in

forge\mcp\jars\mods\

you make a zip archive there containing your textures folder.

Actually the 19th time I've done this.

 

There's a reason I put this on the wiki.

 

Because it's not that freaking difficult, although obtuse.
