Show text in-game

[MOMOTHEREAL]

Hello, I am modding a very simple client for myself and a friend.

What I am actually trying to do in this case is to show up text at the top left (for example: "My client 1.0".

I am modding with MCP for 1.6.2.

I tried to lookup on the Internet, but the GuiIngame.java doesn't seem to work along with Minecraft, because when I tried editing the F3 menu, it didn't change anything...

Thanks in advance!

Listen for RenderGameOverlayEvent, draw your HUD in there.

Thanks for the quick answer, but I am quit new to Forge programming. Could you give me what to write? The one I just tested is not working:

[embed=425,349]

fontrenderer.drawStringWithShadow("My client 1.0", 2, 2, 0xffffff);

[/embed]

Do you have your event method set up in a different class from your main mod and like so?

 

@ForgeSubscribe
public void renderGui(RenderGameOverlayEvent event) {
   if (!Minecraft.isGuiEnabled()) return;
   // draw stuff here
}

 

and your init method

 

@EventHandler
public void initMod(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
   MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new EventHandler());
}
