Hey, I've been searching for how to create my own custom armor, do you know how to do that? The code's changed in the recent 1.5 update and I can't get textures on the armor. I got the armor to show up in-game, but it's got that "missing texture" thing happening to it.

Thanks for fast response. I hope they'll fix it in the next patch. I have one more question. I've copied your ore generation code and changed ore, but it's not generating my own block. I also changed it into diamond ore, but still no effects. What am I doing wrong?

if you noticed the generation tutorials are not yet updated due to a modloader glitch

hopefully everything is updated by next week

Dimension Tutorial please! Wuppy's tutorial isn't updated for 1.5 yet. :I

Could you do please an armor turoial and tell us where to put the texture to render it?

Thanks

maybe after i finish updating

this will be very helpful to new players.

I have just downloaded eclipse, MCP, JDK, and all that good stuff, but i can't seem to receive any packages or SR files, 4 example the net.minecraft.src

did u follow my getting set up tutorial

Is how do I code my block so that when it is mined it drops a different item and multiple of them (like redstone or lapis)? The multiple item part seems to be working but even though i have defined the item I want dropped, it only drops multiple of the ore.

I followed, and waited bout half an hour for the decompile application to work, but it just stopped at retroguard, so i closed it out. does this make a difference?
Yeah so the baseMod had nothing to extend from.

How do you add texture to an item?

Just wait for it to finish.

Add this to your Item class.

public void func_94581_a(IconRegister iconRegister)
{

		 iconIndex = iconRegister.func_94245_a("MODNAME:TEXTUREFILE");
		
}

Forge 1.5 has a new way of setting up textures. Steps:

1. Create a folder named 'mods' in mcp/src/minecraft
2. Create a folder named 'MODNAME' in mcp/src/minecraft/mods
3. Create a folder named 'textures' in mcp/src/minecraft/mods/MODNAME
4. Create a folder named 'items' in mcp/src/minecraft/mods/MODNAME/textures
5. Rename your texture file to 'TEXTUREFILE' and place it in mcp/src/minecraft/mods/MODNAME/textures/items

NOTE! DON'T ADD THE .PNG FILE EXTENSION IN THE CODE!

This is getting frustrating. I force update minecraft. Copy new bin folder into into jars folder. Tried with modloader and without it. Deleted and left Meta-inf. Decompiling and it always gets stuck on "applying retroguard", and I never recieve files in any of the temp and src folders. I searched the error and other have recieved as well. Anybody have a solution?????

Edit: Srry 4 wasting anyone's time who has replied to me. I just wasn't patient enough for decompiling to happen. Great things come from waiting.

can you make one for tools

can you make tutorials so that i don't think ok i did this now what am i supposed to do

How does one make a block hurt when a player touches it? I tried to replicate parts of the cactus code but couldn't seem to get it to work correctly.

How long do most people's decompiling take?

you have to make the block smaller than a full block and cause damage on contact

For some reason I get errors when I try to add the setUnlocalizedName("name") code to my block. Here's the exact code:

public static final Block rubyBlock = new BlockRubyOre(199, 0).setUnlocalizedName("test").setHardness(10F).setResistance(150F).setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);

The error is on setUnlocalizedName.
Here's my BlockRubyOre code:

package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Random;
public class BlockRubyOre extends Block
{
    protected BlockRubyOre(int i, int j)
    {
	    super(i, Material.iron);
    }
    public int idDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3)
    {
		    return mod_MinecraftPlus.ruby.itemID;
    }
    public int quantityDropped(Random random)
    {
	    return 1;
    }
    public String Version()
    {
	    return "1.5.1";
    }
}

Any ideas on how to fix it?
