Kinniken wrote:I got it running with 1.3.1 with minor changes to get rid of dependencies to other Forge classes. For items, it's working fine. For blocks though Minecraft only uses the alternate texture file for the icon (in the inventory for instance), but switches back to the normal texture file when rendering placed blocks. Any idea of the issue?

Oh, and is there any reason not to use the same texture file for both blocks and items? It's more than big enough for both for me.

	private void PreloadTextures()
	{
		ModLoader.getMinecraftInstance().renderEngine.getTexture( "/btwmodtex/btwterrain01.png" );

		ModLoader.getMinecraftInstance().renderEngine.getTexture( "/btwmodtex/btwitems01.png" );
	}

Kinniken wrote:Thanks. It didn't help though (I placed it in the load() method of my main mod class). And my RenderBlocks is the Forge one with really tiny changes that do not seem linked, to get rid of the errors I had listed previously. Is there any way to check if the texture swapping code is triggered at all when rendering blocks?

Kinniken wrote:Not sure where that breakpoint would go. I'll have to have a proper look at the rendering code, I never did (either the Forge one or the original).

Yes, I'm implementing the interface, and it's working for the icon in the inventory (though that might be taken from the corresponding item class right?).

Kinniken wrote:I will, though I'd be surprised it changes things (after all, block-based items already use icons coming from the blocks' texture file). I've also noticed something that could help narrow it down: when I'm holding a block in my hand, it has the right texture, and same for the "break" particules when destroying a block. So it does look like the texture is really loaded fine, it's just not being swapped in the specific code rendering placed blocks.

Kinniken wrote:Ok, I got it working, at least based on your classes (I haven't tried against BTW or Forge yet). I have a test version here:

Thanks for the help!

Kinniken wrote:Yep, seems to work fine! My mod can run on either it, Forge or BTW. Works fine with Optifine and MCPatcher also. The code is here for those interested: http://millenaire.org/dl/ForgeSpriteExtender-src.zip

I'll probably do a release dependent on it this weekend. Thanks again, it would have taken me ages to do the same job directly from the Forge code.

FlowerChild wrote:Yeah, I know one thing I'd love to see with a mod like Millenaire is support for stuff like villagers building Wind Mills after you teach them how to do so (say by giving them a Wind Mill to begin with).

This would leave technological development in Steve's hands, but those developments would then be reflected in the world around him which would evolve along with him.

It's a long-term idea I've been tossing around for the vanilla NPC's if Mojang ever does anything interesting with them ;)
