[1.6.4][SOLVED] My Custom Grass Textures

[jkorn2324swagg 1]

Hi, I made a custom grass block and coded it, but when I tried to load minecraft, my textures for my custom grass block were unable to load into minecraft and I do not know what I did wrong.

Here is my code:

 

package mymod.blocks;

 

import java.util.Random;

 

import mymod.Main;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

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

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

 

public class FlamingGrass extends Block

{

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    private Icon Dirt_1; //Top of Grass

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    private Icon Dirt_3; //Bottom of Grass

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    private Icon Dirt_2; //Side of Grass

 

    public FlamingGrass(int par1)

    {

        super(par1, Material.grass);

        this.setTickRandomly(true);

        this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

    }

 

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

 

    /**

    * From the specified side and block metadata retrieves the blocks texture. Args: side, metadata

    public Icon getIcon(int par1, int par2)

    {

        return par1 == 1 ? this.Dirt_1 : par1 == 0 ? this.Dirt_3 : this.Dirt_2; // 1- Top    0- Bottom  else: Side );

    }

 

    /**

            {

                    {

                        par1World.setBlock(i1, j1, k1, this.blockID);

                    }

                }

        }

    }

}

I have removed the Side Only code, but it still will not load my textures.

[diesieben07 6692]

What is your intention with that registerIcons method? It will never be called.

[jkorn2324swagg 1]

So those Icons will never be called?

 

Btw, I am currently doing a modding course with this program, and they do not teach me this stuff so, I kind of do not know what my intention was 

[diesieben07 6692]

If that course at any point anywhere said something like:

 

"Now type

public void registerIcons

"

 

trash it immediately.

That is not how you learn modding. You need to understand what is going on and why you put that there. If you did that, then you'd know why your code will not work.

If you don't know basic java coding, you will get nowhere, sorry to say.

[jkorn2324swagg 1]

No that's not what they do in the course, they teach you and explain to you what is going on in the code. I am just asking because I want to just be able to finish my custom grass block, + that is also how I learn.

No that's not what they do in the course, they teach you and explain to you what is going on in the code. I am just asking because I want to just be able to finish my custom grass block, + that is also how I learn.

 

It might help understand why registerIcons won't work if you add @Override before it

 

@Override

public void registerIcons(IconRegister par1IconRegister)

 

Adding @Override for methods you expect to inherit from the base class is a really good way for the compiler to tell you "er, that isn't going to do what you think it will do"

 

I forget offhand what the method you're looking for is actually called, you will for sure find it if you have a look at BlockGrass.  Most of the time, I find that's the fastest way to see how to do something, i.e. think of a vanilla item or block or command that does something similar to what I want, and then look at that vanilla code for clues.

[jkorn2324swagg 1]

Thank you, you are awesome

 

[The_SlayerMC 7]

Side note, why do your textures/code have a terrible syntax?!

this.Dirt_2 = par1IconRegister.registerIcon(this.getTextureName() + "Side of Grass (Dirt_2)");

 

Does the course you're doing also teach how to make your textures/code looks nice? If so, they're doing it wrong.

[jkorn2324swagg 1]

They do teach you how to make your textures look nice, but they do not teach you how to do this type of code.

Ok, so I changed a couple things up on the code, but it still will not work. Here it is currently:

Oh and this was all a copy from the Minecraft Source Code btw, I just made a few changes to mine

[TheGreyGhost 711]

Hi

 

what are the symptoms?

 

eg compiler error messages, what do you see vs what you expect to see, any related error messages in the console?

I want to see my grass block textures on the grass block, but I get this:

this.getTextureName()

 

And is that value ever set anywhere?

[jkorn2324swagg 1]

No, I don't think so.

[Draco18s 2097]

No, I don't think so.

 

Garbage in, garbage out.

[jkorn2324swagg 1]

Ummm, what does that mean

[Draco18s 2097]

Ummm, what does that mean

 

Exactly what it says on the tin.

 

You didn't put anything into the variable and you're getting nothing out of it.  What did you expect to happen?

Oh thanks, I just solved it
