My second tutorial: Armor texture rendering.

Okay so, with the past couple updates of forge, they have fixed armor rendering with textures.

Let's begin.

Step 1:
Go to your ItemArmor.class or whatever it's called for you.

The way I did it was by adding a String to the constructor.

public class RioVArmor extends ItemArmor
{
public String armorNamePrefix;
public EnumArmorMaterial material;

public RioVArmor(int par1, EnumArmorMaterial par2EnumArmorMaterial, int par3, int par4, String armornamePrefix)
{
super(par1, par2EnumArmorMaterial, par3, par4);
this.material = par2EnumArmorMaterial;
par2EnumArmorMaterial.getDamageReductionAmount(par4);
this.setMaxDamage(par2EnumArmorMaterial.getDurability(par4));
this.maxStackSize = 1;
this.setCreativeTab(TheMistsOfRioV.tab);
armorNamePrefix = armornamePrefix;
}

public String getArmorTexture(ItemStack stack, Entity entity, int slot, int layer)
    {
if (stack.toString().contains("leggings")) 
{
return "RioV:" + armorNamePrefix + "_2.png";
}
if (stack.toString().contains("Leggings")) 
{
return "RioV:" + armorNamePrefix + "_2.png";
}
return "RioV:" + armorNamePrefix + "_1.png";
}

Which means my item declaration looks like this:

public static Item amethystHelmet = new RioVArmor(2000, AmethystArmorMaterial(your armor material), "amethyst").setUnlocalizedName("blahblahblah");

Now, let's go back to the getAmorTexture method in our armor class.

Ever since 1.6.1 getArmorTextureFile has changed to getArmorTexture with a few more variables.

I set my texture directory as RioV:(armorNamePrefix)_1.png/_2.png

The stack.toString().contains("Leggings") means if the unlocalizedName has leggings and/or Leggings in it, it will use the amethyst_2.png to render the leggings as normal.

The texture directory will be in mcp/src/minecraft/assets/riov/(armor pngs) as RioV: is my modID which means in the texture directory, RioV will be lowercase.

I tried to make this sound not as confusing as possible. I hope this helped.

Dude that does not work for ­ on mine. Is this any wrong?

BronzeArmor

package mods.cyphereion.cyphscape.core;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;
import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IconRegister;
import net.minecraft.item.EnumArmorMaterial;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemArmor;
import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;
public class BronzeArmor extends ItemArmor{
public BronzeArmor(int par1, EnumArmorMaterial par2EnumArmorMaterial,
int par3, int par4) {
super(par1, par2EnumArmorMaterial, par3, par4);
this.setCreativeTab(Core.tabCyphScape);
}

public String getArmorTextureFile(ItemStack itemstack) {
if(itemID == Core.BronzeFullHelmet.itemID){
return Core.DirTexPre + Core.ArmorTexPreBronze + "_1.png";
}if(itemID == Core.BronzePlateChest.itemID){
return Core.DirTexPre + Core.ArmorTexPreBronze + "_1.png";
}if(itemID == Core.BronzeBoots.itemID){
return Core.DirTexPre + Core.ArmorTexPreBronze + "_1.png";
}if(itemID == Core.BronzePlateLegs.itemID){
return Core.DirTexPre + Core.ArmorTexPreBronze + "_2.png";
}else{
return null;
}
}

}

Base Class

BronzeFullHelmet = new BronzeArmor(2015, Core.BRONZE, proxy.addArmor("Bronze Full Helm"), 0).setUnlocalizedName("CyphScape_BronzeFullHelm");
BronzePlateChest = new BronzeArmor(2016, Core.BRONZE, proxy.addArmor("Bronze Platechest"), 1).setUnlocalizedName("CyphScape_BronzeChestPlate");
BronzePlateLegs = new BronzeArmor(2017, Core.BRONZE, proxy.addArmor("Bronze Platelegs"), 2).setUnlocalizedName("CyphScape_BronzePlateLegs");
BronzeBoots = new BronzeArmor(2018, Core.BRONZE, proxy.addArmor("Bronze Boots"), 3).setUnlocalizedName("CyphScape_BronzeBoots");

Note: the texture locations are correct.
