[shane020482 2]

While trying to use Forge Blockstate the block model  variants work fine however im getting a inventory error.

Exception loading model for variant cbm:block_steel_steel_plating#inventory

Also, show your registration code.

i thought the point of Forge Blockstate "inventory": [{}],  was to provide that info. And yes iv used it as well as removed it from my blockstate and it changes nothing.

this is the code i used to get that error and iv tried several other naming methods as well

	@SubscribeEvent
	public static void registerRenders(ModelRegistryEvent event) 
	{
		registerRender(ItemBlockEnum.getItemFromBlock(block_steel));
		for (int i = 0; i < metalType.values().length; i++) {
	
			registerRender(block_steel, i, "block_steel_" + metalType.values()[i].getName());
			
		}
	}
	
	private static void registerRender(Block block, int meta, String fileName) {
		ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation(Item.getItemFromBlock(block), meta,
				new ModelResourceLocation(new ResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID, fileName), "inventory"));
		
	}

Don't construct resource locations yourself.

 

block.getRegistryName() (and item.getRegistryName()) returns a ResourceLocation, use it.

Not sure i fully understand what you mean

[Draco18s 2185]

See this?

new ModelResourceLocation(new ResourceLocation(Reference.MOD_ID, fileName), "inventory"));

 

Make it this:

new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), "inventory"));

 

Here's how I do it:

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/1.12.1/src/main/java/com/draco18s/hardlib/client/ClientEasyRegistry.java#L103

(Commented out is pre-ModelRegistryEvent, but the same information is cached and handed off during said event).

That only works with blocks that dont have meta and the method calls for block not item. And yes iv tried block.getRegistryName() it doesnt work ether. This method worked fine on older versions i just cant find what has changed. Even looking at the non meta block method the change was from itemstack to item so not a big change there.

If it doesn’t work your likely doing something wrong, also a heads up, metadata is being removed in 1.13

[shane020482 2]

I know im doing something wrong i just cant figure out what and if i dont use meta what could i use for variants. My mod is going to have a lot of blocks and i would like to cut down on the amount of blockstates an models needed.

... your still going to need the same amount of block state models

have a look at BlockResourceBlock in my mod

https://github.com/Cadiboo/WIPTech/blob/master/src/main/java/cadiboo/wiptech/block/BlockResourceBlock.java

and how I have multiple variants with only one class

Yea i was afraid of that im already using that method for blocks that dont have variants. i was just hoping to use Forge Blockstate to cover block models item models and blockstates for up to 16 blocks with just one blockstate. But if i cant get Forge to work then i guess ill just have to suck it up.

Thanks for the advice anyways

You want metadata blocks?

Man thats a rabbit hole ill havw to sit down and really dig in to see if i can figure it  out. 😀

[Draco18s 2185]

It goes here:

chasing things down and this is what iv got so far and im still lost. Im not a complete noob to java or MC code but i am self taught and this may just be outside my grasp

public void _registerBlockWithCustomItem(Block block, ItemBlock iBlock, String registryname) 
	{
		StateMapperBase b = new DefaultStateMapper();
		BlockStateContainer bsc = block.getBlockState();
		ImmutableList<IBlockState> values = bsc.getValidStates();
		for(IBlockState state : values) 
		{
			String str = b.getPropertyString(state.getProperties());
			_registerBlockItemModelForMeta(block, block.getMetaFromState(state), str);
		}
	}
	
	
	
	
	private void _registerBlockItemModelForMeta(Block block, int metadata, String variant) {
		final Item item = blockItems.get(block);
		if (item != null) {
			_registerItemModelForMeta(item, metadata, variant);
		}
	}



	private void _registerItemModelForMeta(Item item, int metadata, String variant) {
		ModelResourceLocation res = new ModelResourceLocation(item.getRegistryName(), variant);
		_registerItemModelForMeta(item, metadata, res);
	}

	private void _registerItemModelForMeta(Item item, int metadata, ModelResourceLocation modelResourceLocation) {
		modelsToReg.add(new ModelRegistryObj(item, metadata, modelResourceLocation));
	}

	protected static class ModelRegistryObj {
		final Item item;
		final int meta;
		final ModelResourceLocation resource;
		
		public ModelRegistryObj(Item i, int m, ModelResourceLocation loc) {
			item = i;
			meta = m;
			resource = loc;
		}
	}

You're just blindly copying things. That isn't going to DO anything by itself.

The point was "you need to do these things <link to a function that does these things>" not "Copy-paste my code, cross your fingers, and run it."

 

The one function that you didn't know what it did... all it does is what you were already doing.

sry for not being clearer what i was trying to do was get the full code in one place so i could see what i needed to do to make this work for me and thats where i get lost. i myself dont like copy pasting i always modified to to fit my needs

[Draco18s 2185]

You need this:

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/1.12.1/src/main/java/com/draco18s/hardlib/client/ClientEasyRegistry.java#L66-L71

Line 70 in that code is equivalent to ModelLoader.setCustomModelResourceLocation (with the indicated parameters) called during the ModelRegistryEvent.

 

That is:

You need to ask a block what states it has

Get the metadata for those states^†

Convert those states to variant strings

Register an item model for those metadatas and variant strings

 

^†There is no canonical block-saved-metadata to item-stack-metadata conversion, however, vanilla (and most mods) treat them as being the same for simplicity's sake.^‡ The only place it is explicitly assumed to always be that way is in vanilla's custom world gen settings.

 

^‡Of course, the same would be said of enum values as well, but vanilla went and fucked that up with their colors. WHITE is 15, but also 0.

Its fine after sleeping on it i think im going to do it like i did in the past and register in the base class

https://github.com/Shane2482/Deadly-World-1.10/blob/master/src/main/java/shane2482/deadlyworld/blocks/base/blockbase.java 

that is if i can figure out how to do that in 1.12. And even if i dont use enums if i use Forge Blocktates ill still need to create blockstates for all of my blocks but i wont need the models.

[Draco18s 2185]

You can't do it like that in 1.12, the GameRegistry is private: the events exist to make sure that everything gets registered at the proper time in the proper order.

 

You cannot get around this.

[shane020482 2]

I know GameRegistry is private. But are you saying i cant even use the event method in the base class 

[Draco18s 2185]

It doesn't save you anything.

What do you have access to inside the class object that you don't have access to from outside? Everything you need is public...

[shane020482 2]

By registering in the base class anything you put in the init class is automatically registered therefore you dont need to register each block separately. If im being stupid please forgive me im still trying to get a understanding of 1.12
