New Texture Directory For Minecraft Forge 1.6.1

[Draco18s]

Why do people call it a pahimar setup? I've been using it since long before he showed it to everyone ><

 

Because he showed it to everyone.

Oh, and I tried to follow his tutorial to set myself up like that and I couldn't get it to work, so I said, "the hell with it, hard drive space is cheap" and just move things around as I need to.

 

Then i don't know, if you read the readme that dinnerbone put in the assets folder inside of MCP it says that anything placed there will be deleted on start-up.

 

I read the readme.  It's entirely unhelpful.  Because all it says (and you repeated it) is "don't put things here."  It does NOT say where they should go!

I've been trying to update my NBTEdit mod, which has a couple of GUI textures.

 

I first tried "assets/nbtedit/textures/gui/..." and a similar ResourceLocator,

 

 

public static final ResourceLocation TEXTURE = new ResourceLocation("nbtedit", "textures/gui/widgets.png");

 

That of course didn't work, but, if I move my textures to "assets/minecraft/nbtedit/textures/gui/..." and use this code, it works.

 

public static final ResourceLocation TEXTURE = new ResourceLocation("nbtedit/textures/gui/widgets.png");

 

Now, I dug into the problem, and here are my findings. SimpleReloadableResourceManager attempts to load the texture with a call to func_110536_a(ResourceLocation), which then uses the first string (normally "minecraft", attempted to set for my mod "nbtedit") to locate a ResourceManager from its ResourceManager map. Of course, nothing is mapped to "nbtedit". The reason one is mapped to "minecraft" is because in a call to SimpleReloadableResourceManager.func_110545_a(ResourcePack), the default resource pack is loaded, which contains an immutable set of strings to map with a FallbackResourceManager. The set only contains "minecraft", and when it sees "nbtedit" later, it crashes instead of creating a new FallbackResourceManager. I believe we need to wait for a proper Forge implementation of "AbstractResourcePack" or an edit of SimpleReloadableResourceManager.

I'll go speak to my friend Mumfrey about this, I know he's been playing around with it for the last couple of days. I'll let you know what I find, if anything.

2013-07-02 19:28:09 [sEVERE] [Minecraft-Client] Using missing texture, unable to load: minecraft:textures/items/MISSING_ICON_ITEM_7258_Steel-Ingot.png

[Shadzari]

As for locations, here is what's working for me at the moment:

 

1) Within Eclipse/Forge/MCP:

- Keep setup the same: {modid}\textures\{items/blocks}\name.png

 

2) After recompiling & obfuscation, ready for live play:

\assets\{modid}\textures\items\name.png

Unfortunately, blocks does not seem to be playing by the same rule for me *despite* the following:

 

3) After opening the 1.6.1 jar in .minecraft/versions/, this is what I'm finding:

\assets\{modid}\textures\blocks\

\assets\{modid}\textures\items\

\assets\{modid}\textures\entities\{mobtype}\name.png

GUI, paintings, items, misc, and all that is in that \textures\(subfolder)\ as well.

 

I'm wondering if the blocks' textures need to be coded differently, even though there's no apparent errors in Eclipse for my code.

[Draco18s]

As for locations, here is what's working for me at the moment:

 

1) Within Eclipse/Forge/MCP:

- Keep setup the same: {modid}/textures/{items/blocks}/name.png

 

And where does this folder go?

 

2) After recompiling & obfuscation, ready for live play:

- Items - assets/{modid}/{textures}/items/name.png

Unfortunately, blocks does not seem to be playing by the same rule.  assets/{modid}/{textures}/tiles/name.png does *not* work for me.

 

/tiles?  don't you mean /blocks?

[Shadzari]

And where does this folder go?

 

My apologies.  Full file paths, for my setup; first set is with the .class files after recompilation, second set is with the .java files before recompilation:

C:\Files\forge\mcp\eclipse\Minecraft\bin\mods\minehack\textures\items\name.png

C:\Files\forge\mcp\eclipse\Minecraft\bin\mods\minehack\textures\blocks\name.png

 

C:\Files\forge\mcp\src\minecraft\mods\minehack\textures\items\name.png

C:\Files\forge\mcp\src\minecraft\mods\minehack\textures\blocks\name.png

 

/tiles?  don't you mean /blocks?

 

I mean both.   It was a random idea; on mouseover in live, the blocks have 'tile.Antigonite.name' for instance, so I figured it was worth checking to see if might have been changed to \tiles\ instead of \blocks\.  Not so, sadly.

[Tynarus]

mcp/eclipse/Minecraft/bin/assets/minecraft/ seems to be working if you're using ResourceLocation.

 

Ie...

 

new ResourceLocation("infection/textures/entity/walker.png");

 

=

 

mcp/eclipse/Minecraft/bin/assets/minecraft/infection/textures/entity/walker.png

 

If you want something that works for the time being without going in and editing the jar.

[sirbloke]

I have had the same problem as others and have found the solution.

 

Assets are loaded from the icon registry at a different time than they used to be. You must register your icons during the PRE INIT not during the INIT. Otherwise they will not be in the icon registry when the assets are loaded.

 

Hope that helps. 

 

EDIT: Just to confirm, the directory is the same as before but "assets" instead of "mods".

[zombiepig333]

Can you still use that in forge build 758, as they made this change...

 

"Resource packs, part two. FML mods are now resource packs. Vanilla will scan anything under 'assets' and turn it into a resource prefix. Use resourcelocations to look stuff up."

 

Edit: Never mind, that does work.

[Draco18s]

You must register your icons during the PRE INIT not during the INIT.

 

And how does one do that?

Forge calls registerIcons, not [my main mod file].

[LexManos]

ResourcePacks *should* be refreashed after all mods are loaded.

Make sure you're using the latest version of Forge.

the proper place to pt your asses is in: /mcp/src/minecraft/assets/{modname}

[Mitchellbrine]

Lex, I tried that but it wouldn't work. I tried outside of a /mcp/src/minecraft/assets/{modname}/textures and inside. Neither work. Where do I put the textures?

 

EDIT: I finally got to a live version of files.minecraftforge.net. I'm going to update and see what happens!

 

EDIT: Still didn't work.

[kris91268]

So if anyone knows, how do you register textures that are used for an entity or model block texture?

It is not doing that in the latest version on the file server, you have to put all LanguageRegistry calls in preInit for the names and textures to be found correctly.  It might need more, my init method is basically LanguageRegistry, GameRegistry, OreDictionary, and instantiations, so I just grabbed most of it and moved it over.  I also added in pack.mcmeta file under assets/modname and almost all of my textures loaded with no other changes to the code.  The only one that didn't work after that was my hacked together test block, and that was because I used setUnlocalizedName as the texture reference.  My gui textures aren't loading though, so that's next on my list of stuff to fix tomorrow, probably a reference issue.  I have it updated on my Github (https://github.com/Malorolam/Carbonization) so there is a more complex example to look at for block and item textures.

I'm blaming Mojang for some of this nonsense.

 

If you take a look in FolderResourcePack.java

if (!s.equals(s.toLowerCase()))
{
    this.func_110594_c(s);
}

 

which roughly translates as:

if mod name contains upper case letters, then throw an error and refuse to do anything with it.

 

Anyone happen to know which string it uses in this function, eg is it Mod.modid, Mod.name or something else ?

String s is the return from a function that takes in two files, one of which appears to be the main directory to the assets folder, the other appears to be the mod specific file locations, i.e. the <modname>/textures/blah part, all of which should normally return all lowercase.

 

From what I see, if it throws the error it's because there is actually an error, and the basic Java file structure stuff broke somehow.

This made me laugh more than it should have...

I would like to know what a pack.mcmeta file is and what it should contain

[Draco18s]

I would like to know what a pack.mcmeta file is and what it should contain

 

Apparently this:

 

{
"pack": 1,
"description": "Forge Mod Defaults"
}
}

 

Not that adding it to my project made any difference what so ever.

[yanksrock1019]

Also, when I move my stuff like Language Registry to Pre-Init, it gives me an error

it has worked for alot of people! if you actually followed it correctly!
