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

 

Pretty sure Draco would have followed it correctly. He's one of the main guys who helps people on this subforum, so he knows his stuff

 

It didn't work for me either, by the way. I'd love to see your source if I can? Maybe you're doing something differently to us anyway.

I got it to work. Make sure your paths are lower case and that all decorations are in peeing.

I have been having the same problem as many people. My textures aren't showing. I do exactly as others say, but no luck. Please me and many others have this problem and who ever knows the answer please reply!

I have version 762.

I had SOLVED

 

In my case, the problem was the "modname" folder (DONT USE CAPS)

 

Before fix it

 

\minecraft\assets\RSImbued\textures\

 

After

 

\minecraft\assets\rsimbued\textures\

 

i continued using caps in the code

 

public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister)

    {

        this.itemIcon = par1IconRegister.registerIcon("RSImbued:___");

              }

 

Perhaps some of those who have the problem can solve with this

 

I hope it will be helpful and sorry for my English level

This worked : http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1876781-161-forge-sheenrox82s-forge-161-texturing-tutorial-blocks-and-items/

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

 

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.

Hey can you help me on setting up the "pahimar" setup in 1.6.1? I dont which jars to import.

All of them in the jars folder. also you need to change your launch configuration, it can found in the new mcp.

Hello, I still can not seem to get this to work for me... However, I did some debugging and found that the registerIcons method is not actually being called. (did a sysdout )  This probably explains why I wasn't even receiving the missing texture error in the console.  I'm fairly certain that my item(armor) was setup correctly because it does show up in the game with the pink and block icon.  The other thing is, that my armor textures are at least trying to load.  For the armor textures it tells me that it failed to load.  I have put the textures in /src/minecraft/assets/"mymodname"/textures/models/armor/myfile.png  I am unsure weather to call the texture by it's name or to use the way mine craft does it with the name_layer_1.png format. An help is appreciated, thank-you.

I should note that I've also tried:

 

mcp/src/assets/{modid}/textures/{block|item}/{name}.png

mcp/src/minecraft/{modid}/textures/{block|item}/{name}.png

mcp/src/{modid}/textures/{block|item}/{name}.png

mcp/jars/assets/{modid}/textures/{block|item}/{name}.png

mcp/jars/resourcepacks/{modid}/textures/{block|item}/{name}.png

mcp/jars/resourcepacks/assets/{modid}/textures/{block|item}/{name}.png

 

https://github.com/SuitedSlime/1.6-Forge-Mod

 

It works fine. Go ahead, download and compile it.

 

Unfortunately, your github is not set up in a way that those of us NOT using a Pahimar setup can actually use it.

 

I agree. It's all broken, and has to go back to the way it was in 1.5.2, where the "textures" directory

can sit right next to the top source directory along with paulscodes and ibxm and friends.

There is no reason for forge to be moving things around on us.

They are supposed to be SHIELDING us from the underlying changes, not exacerbating them.

Hello? Forge? Please put textures, sounds and such back the way it was.

It was working. Stop messing with it.

 

 

Don't blame forge its mojang that has done the editing.

It seems that registerIcons only gets called if you register the block/item in preInit. What confuses me is what the string in the par1IconRegister.registerIcon() actually means. Is it supposed to be a path, the file names of the textures (if so, then why the colons) or something completely different. The reason im asking is that i am trying to apply different icons to different damage items, so if i add a +3 to Main.modid +":"+ this.getUnlocalizedName() will it load modidname3 ?

Do you mean the old:

@PreInit

public void preInit(...)

 

or the new:

 

@EventHandler

public void preInit(...)

Well, I guess it has to be @EventHandler now.  By Register do you mean initialize the variable?

Well, I guess it has to be @EventHandler now.  By Register do you mean initialize the variable?

yeh, i used @EventHandeler, but i cant see why @preInit wouldn't work

Well this didn't work for me and other methods didn't too FOR HOURS, until I moved all my registering items into PreInit. I have spent all day and now it has worked.

 

I was only texturing items so ya.

This was my code in my items I used:

    public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister)

    {

    this.itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("AlchemistsRPG:elvenAxe");

    }

So...some tips:

In my forge\mcp\src\minecraft\assets, I had a folder named alchemistsrpg.

Make sure that your folder is lowercased. Don't make it named AlchemistsRPG.

However in your code, you can uppercase it. I believe someone posted this tip already.

Also, I think it is good to make sure that the folder is your modid.

 

Dunno if this will help.

-Vakar

 

Also, maybe try naming your .png file not like this:

ElvenAxe

You could try naming it:

elvenAxe

 

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, just another tip.

Oh! Oh! I can answer this one now!

 

Here's the hidden secret block tutorial that helped me figure it out...

http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Basic_Modding

 

There appear to be a number of key elements here:

1) Everything is initialized in the preInit() function, which now has a qualifier (or whatever you call it)

of @EventHandler. Look at the wiki main mod example.

 

2) Blocks/items are generally declared like

MyFireFish = (new ItemFireFish(BaseBlockID + OreSpawnConstants.FireFishBlockID, 4, 0.6F, false).setUnlocalizedName("firefish"));

The .setUnlocalizedName part is critical. It MUST be the name of your png file, without the .png,

and nothing in front.

 

3) In your item/block class, you now need to add the following magic incantation:

    @Override

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    public void registerIcons(IconRegister iconRegister) {

        this.itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon("OreSpawn:" + (this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5)));

    }

Except that instead of "OreSpawn" use your mod name (case doesn't matter here).

Why substring(5)? I don't know. I don't care. It works.

Yes, you need the ":" after your mod name too.

 

And lastly...

The directory that firefish.png ends up

....forge/mcp/src/minecraft/assets/orespawn/textures/items/firefish.png

 

The important things to notice in the above, is that you need to create this directory tree exactly as is,

from "assets" on down, except that you use your mod name (all lowercase) instead of "orespawn",

which is my mod.

 

Refer to the wiki page referenced above. It was small, simple, and easy to understand.

 

Now, If I can just figure out why my entities won't move... sigh...

 

 

Hope this helped!

 

For some god-aweful reason

 

this.getUnlocalizedName()

 

would return the Unlocalized name except it would incert

tile.

right before it:

textures/blocks/tile.tutorialblock.png

So I cant use it to easily get item names. What do I do??

 

	public void registerIcons(IconRegister reg){
	this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(Tutorial.modID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName());
}

 

replacing this.getUnlocalizedName() with the direct name of the png file works (after 1 hour wondering why the texture wouldent load) but id like to use setUnlocalizedName when naming my pngs so using that in the icon register seems natural if it went for the tile. crap ?

 

To get rid of the tile. before the picture file, that's where the substring(5) is for.

I am glad I updated that to 1.6.1! It saw that people were having trouble so I updated a few things to 1.6.1

For some god-aweful reason

 

this.getUnlocalizedName()

 

would return the Unlocalized name except it would incert

tile.

right before it:

textures/blocks/tile.tutorialblock.png

So I cant use it to easily get item names. What do I do??

 

	public void registerIcons(IconRegister reg){
	this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(Tutorial.modID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName());
}

 

replacing this.getUnlocalizedName() with the direct name of the png file works (after 1 hour wondering why the texture wouldent load) but id like to use setUnlocalizedName when naming my pngs so using that in the icon register seems natural if it went for the tile. crap ?

You can use .substring(5) :

	public void registerIcons(IconRegister reg){
	this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(Tutorial.modID + ":" + this.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
}

substring(5) will ignore the first 5 characters, so you'll have no problem with this "tile."

 

Why are you guys dealing with the 'unlocalizedName' and substring shit anyways?

See Block.func_111023_E and Item.func_111208_A along with associated functions/fields

They exist for a reason -.-

Because they're 'unnamed', which implies that we shouldn't use them.

I try to stick to functions that have been renamed into something resembling what they do.

In some cases that's not possible, of course, like func_110143_aJ(), which should

be getEntityHealth().

 

 

 

So what are we supposed to use to call textures now, as im using:

 

itemIcon = iconRegister.registerIcon(Reference.MOD_ID.toLowerCase() + ":" + "stonemallet");

 

And when I start Eclipse up the only error flagging is:

 

[sEVERE] [Minecraft-Client] Using missing texture, unable to load: blocksnmore:textures/items/stonemallet.png

 

But when I am in game the texture is loaded O_o so im confused if I have done something wrong or using an old code to call textures and my item is being loaded during the "preInit" phaze which I believe is the right area to load items/blocks.
