[1.12.2] lang file not working for entities

[MSpace-Dev 13]

Hey all,

 

I'm trying to get my spawn eggs to not display as "entity.mob_name.name", but rather as "Spawn mob_name" like Vanilla's spawn eggs. Here is the necessary information.

 

InitEntities.class

public class InitEntities
{

	private static int id = 1500;

	public static void register()
	{
		registerEntity("mob_id", "Mob Name", EntityMob.class, 16167425, 16775294);

		Utils.getLogger().info("Entities Registered");
	}

	private static void registerEntity(String nameId, String entityName, Class<? extends Entity> entityClass, int eggPrimary, int eggSecondary)
	{
		EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID, nameId), entityClass, entityName, ++id, Reference.MODID, 64, 1, false, eggPrimary, eggSecondary);
	}
}

 

Main class

public static final CreativeTabs creativeTab = new CreativeTabs(CreativeTabs.getNextID(), "modid")
{
    @Override
    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    public void displayAllRelevantItems(NonNullList<ItemStack> itemList)
  {
		super.displayAllRelevantItems(itemList);
		itemList.add(getSpawnEgg("mob_id"));
	}
};

 

en_us.lang (I've tried both of these separately. No luck.) [All other translations are working fine]

#### Entities ####
entity.mod_id.mob_id.name=Mob Name

entity.mob_id.name=Mob Name

 

Thanks.

First of all use EntityEntryBuilder and the registry events to register your entities.

The name must contain your ModID, otherwise it will cause conflicts.

Alright, I've moved everything to being registered through the registry event and EntityEntryBuilder.

 

My entities are exactly the same in world, so it's working. The lang file is still not working for them though.

 

RegistryEventHandler

@SubscribeEvent
public static void registerEntities(RegistryEvent.Register<EntityEntry> event)
  {
  final IForgeRegistry<EntityEntry> registry = event.getRegistry();

  for (final EntityEntry entityEntry : ModEntities.ENTITIES)
  {
  	registry.register(entityEntry);
  }
}

 

ModEntities

public class ModEntities
{
	private static int id = 1500;

	public static final EntityEntry[] ENTITIES = {
			getEntityEntry("mob_name", "Mob Name", EntityMob.class, 16167425, 16775294)
	};

	private static EntityEntry getEntityEntry(String nameId, String entityName, Class<? extends Entity> entityClass, int eggPrimary, int eggSecondary)
	{
		return EntityEntryBuilder.create()
				.entity(entityClass)
				.id(new ResourceLocation(Reference.MODID, nameId),++id)
				.name(entityName)
				.tracker(64, 1, false)
				.egg(eggPrimary, eggSecondary)
				.spawn(EnumCreatureType.MONSTER, 0, 0, 0, Biomes.VOID)
				.build();
	}
}

 

en_us

#### Entities ####
entity.mod_id.mob_name.name=Mob Name

entity.mob_name.name=Mob Name

 

Am I missing something?

Your entity name shoudl be all lowercase and contain your mod ID.

Oh, I understand now. Something like modid_mob_name ?

Yes, for example.
