Glowing block render help

[Dawars]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a block which has parts in it which is not affected by lighting like in Thaumcraft and XyCraft so it looks glowing in the dark but doesn't emmit light.

 

Do you have idea how to do it?

 

[hydroflame]

disable lighting ?

[Dawars]

But where because I don't want to the whole block side only some pixels?

[hydroflame]

draw more then 1 quad then

[Dawars]

Okay, I think I've got it and what about animation?

 

How can I render the breaking texture on the top?

i dont really understand the question, what kind of animation you want to do

because if its

How can I render the breaking texture on the top?

that will be taken care of automaticly, like every other block

[Dawars]

I thougt that I make a blockrenderer because that's where I can disable lighting I think but then I think it won't display the breaking textures.

 

I have like 10 textures in a file and the block changes the current one constatnly and if I make a new renderer I don't know how to change them regularly

blockrenderer =ISimpleBlockRenderingHandler ?

because the breaking texture will appear no mater what you do.

texture dont go in files, IMAGES go in files (texture ares on GPU)

10 of those in the same file is kinda of bad btw (yes notch is bad in that way)

how are they changing ? depending on metadata? or time based ? (or other factor)

 

if its something else then metadata you will need to use a TESR and its not recommended if it's a block apparearing in huge quantity

[Dawars]

Time based animation and it won't be used in that huge quantity. What's TESR?

 

And I'll try the code I have in mind after this conversation in 2 hours.

[hydroflame]

TESR = TileEntitySpecialRenderer

youll need a TileEntity for your block (which i still dont know if its an ore or decoration or wtv)

 

heres my tutorial on it:
