Addon Help

hunterboerner · January 23, 2013 at 1:01 PM

I am trying to make a new addon for IC2. I am currently using the API (which i have been told is the correct way to do this) However, i am extending classes that are not the API (ItemArmorJetpackElectric). Therefore MCP cannot recompile because it doesn't know where those claseses are. Do I decompile the source?

Here is my code:

Main Class

@Mod(modid = "Jappack", name = "Jappack", version = "1.0.0")
@NetworkMod(clientSideRequired = true, serverSideRequired = false)
public class Jappack {
// The instance of your mod that Forge uses.
@Instance("Jappack")
public static Jappack instance;

public static JappackItem japPackItem;

// Says where the client and server 'proxy' code is loaded.
@SidedProxy(clientSide = "hunterboerner.Jappack.client.ClientProxy", serverSide = "hunterboerner.Jappack.CommonProxy")
public static CommonProxy proxy;

@PreInit
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
// Stub Method

}

@Init
public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
proxy.registerRenderers();
//ID, Index of sprite, ArmorRendering
japPackItem = new JappackItem(92, 0, CommonProxy.addArmor("Jappack"));

LanguageRegistry.addName(japPackItem, "JapPack");

}

@PostInit
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {
// Stub Method
}
}

Interesting .. i am trying the exact same thing and had to find out they give you the api but actually let you decompile the source.
So where is the point in not putting it on sourceforge?

The problem i find is that apparently you can only create complete new items and let them implement the required interfaces.

Since the source code is not public (or atleast i nowhere could find them) there is only 1 way left and that one is of course not the official one: decompile.

When i started i was full of joy and pleasure and willing to learn everything, but unfortunately they keep there secrets well hidden i guess.
The community could be so much better if we beginners could get a good tutorial but its nowhere to find.

Now if you search in this forum you will find this post:
[tutorial] How to decompile IC2 with MCP

So actually have to decompile ic2 to get started than read code and try to understand whats happening because the api descriptions are more than lacking and no help at all.

What i really would love to see is an sourceforge repo or at least a tutorial HOW to get an item working with the ic2 api.

Greeting from a really sad minecrafter

We plan on including example code sometime soon(tm)

What exactly is hard to understand about the API?
