Problems with Havvy's Basic Modding Tutorial [1.6.1]

[foul_owl]

My guess is that these errors are due to the tutorial not being updated for 1.6.1, so I just wanted to mention that and see if we can work together to get that tutorial updated.

 

However it is also quite possible that I am doing something wrong as well. Here is the crash report:

If that helps, I went through the tutorial with v1.5.2 and I had some problems as well. Are you using eclipse?

Reading through that crash report, it seems as though you are using the method "preloadTexture(String texture)"? If you are, I would suggest getting rid of it. I may actually (considering this is the second time now) update that tutorial... Hmmm... Ill get back to you on that one.

 

But yeah, preloadTexture(String texture) is no longer "valid". Minecraft/forge no longer uses that to load the texture into memory. It does that via the icon registry in the block/item class.

Havvy's tutorials are for 1.5 and earlier, chances are they wont work for 1.6. Forge is still in development for 1.6, so you may have to wait a while for new tutorials.

And even with 1.5.2 there are some tweaks needed in the blocks/items section. The rest are fine though, they work.

Yep, it was choking on MinecraftForgeClient.preloadTexture(String texture). Commented out those lines, builds fine.

 

I think the idea behind the tutorial is to just get something added, compiled, and working. How should we change that tutorial for 1.6.1 so that at least one very basic line of code is executed?

 

I was thinking about replacing those two lines with System.out.print("Hello world"); but....maybe there is something more Minecraft-centric that would make more sense

 

I'm also going to complete that tutorial series and document everything that needs to be changed.

 

Thanks!

Please give me that documentation. I am fixing some stuff up now

Check out my other thread, I had a few things highlighted. The tutorials are really good, they just need a few corrections... I think additional explanations / comments / clarifications are always welcome of course...

 

On the basic blocks tutorial, I think the Generic.Ore class is missing a

 

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;

 

at the beginning.

er, my plan was to do that next week. I'll let you know if I find anything that doesn't work for me. Cheers!!
