Icons not loading correctly

[stray berry]

For some reason the icons wont load properly. I've added the resourcepack from model engine to my main resourse pack, only thing i didnt copy was the pack.mcmeta, as i wasnt sure if it would overwrite anything of my main sourcepack.

The mobs themselves seem to be working fine.

Any idea if i missed somethings or didnt do right?

For the purple and black icons anyways

[stray berry]

i am not sure why, but everytime i try to edit the blocks.json file it automaticly resets.
even tried it like this: {"sources":[{"source":"entity","prefix":"entity/","type":"directory"},{"source":"nocsy","prefix":"nocsy/", "type":"directory"}]}
and yes, server was online while editing.

[blissful hollow]

Do you use oraxen or IA?

[stray berry]

what is IA?

Oh items adder

[stray berry]

i dont use any of those

[modest citrus]

Hm, have you tried editing it by itself then uploading the new pack to the server afterwards

[stray berry]

i've just tried that, but same thing happens

[stray berry]

should i?

So, i've edited the resource pack blocks.json, and uploaded it back to my server

perhaps that fixes it

[blissful hollow]

No not really if you do it by hand manually I always recommend that

[stray berry]

i kind of got it working

but i am not sure if these are the right icons

i feel like its not

all of them are patreon packs

[blissful hollow]

This looks like

inc_sac

model

needs custom model data updated

https://mcpets.gitbook.io/mcpets/common-issues/common-issues/texture-pack-merging-custom-items-packs

the numbers are not correct prob

it needs to go from lower to higher

cant mix

[stray berry]

see, the thing that botters me at this point, is that there's no official guide on how to get started. So all of this could have been avoided if there was a simple guide with a few steps to follow, so you dont mess up. I feel like there's an assumption that everyone who buys this, knows what they are doing. Now i'm just sitting here fixing things, and taking up your time, while this could all have been avoided.

Dont get me wrong, i appreciate your guys help. But it's just costing us so much time.

[blissful hollow]

Actually its quite opositte

Redme file is quite well written

but as you know with RP managment you need to have a little some sense how it works

in order to get MM, ME and MCPets to work without issues

[stray berry]

you mean the files included in the rar package?

because that only tells me where to drop items. I havent seen anything about inc_sac

but i might have missed that

[blissful hollow]

inc_sac is what is used by Nocsy and Toffy

cant confirm for other vendors

to be able to easier merge all the packs

but we can jump on call

if you want

so I can quickly troubleshoot it for you

as I need to see your screen

[stray berry]

it's oke. i probably have to start all over again as the files are already copied and therefore i have no idea what pets where conflicting

but it's already grinding my gears, so i'll skip this till later on today.

[stray berry]

thanks for the offer though 🙂

[blissful hollow]

It will take some time

but once you get used to it, it will become easy

I would recommend adding 1 pet at the time

and not all at once so you can get familiar

[stray berry]

i did that, but i had no idea i had to edit any files. therefore been working on this for hours

[blissful hollow]

the only file you need to edit is the inc_sac as if you merge all the inc_sac's togheter it will not sort them evenly

or at least by how it should be

as none of the notepads or txt file readers know how to do that

• minecraft is extremly sensative on the numbers rule and names

[stray berry]

that's correct, but i had no knowledge of how to do this or even that i had to do that. So thats where i went wrong haha

[blissful hollow]

Its fine you are new to the whole Vanilla RP stuff for servers xXD

we were all their once

I had to learn whole RP structure to add what ever I wanted

its worth in the end because you can legit create a mod-like exp with only plugins

[stray berry]

im doing my very best, but the more i read, the more confused i get.

so i have to make a resourse pack out of every mobs before i can pull the right strings?

kind of think i figured it out

this is my models/items folder that i've extracted from my resource pack

so here is the ink_sac file and the other item files

[stray berry]

all the predicate lines from these files i have to import to ink_sac, correct?

so far so good?

nvm, im going to leave it as it is. remove everything and start over somewhere in the future

thanks for all the help

you can close this topic.

[modest citrus]

Oh I see the issue here

So you need to have the numbers go in ascending order (and be different)

So it should be
77600
77601

And so on

[stray berry]

oke got it

[modest citrus]

Remember to change the numbers in the pet ymls as well!

[stray berry]

but then there's also i file called player_head.json, but these havo no numbers. do i need to add them as well and just continue going up?

[modest citrus]

Just don’t touch that one that’s modelengine reared

Related

[stray berry]

oke, so now i've added all the lines from the json files in this folder, except for the player_head. anything else i need to add?

[modest citrus]

Well if the textures and atlases are in order now, test it out

And remember to adjust the pet configs to be the updated numbers for the icons

[stray berry]

this is the blocks.json currently in the resource pack

[modest citrus]

https://mcpets.gitbook.io/mcpets/common-issues/common-issues/atlases-issues-purple-black-icons

Copy and paste this one in and save it

Assuming the textures are in the noscy folder?

[stray berry]

oke, so i dont need to change the blocks.json that is located on my server in the modelengine folder?

these are the textures located in the textures/nocsy folder.

assuming they are all there because i dragged and dropped everything in correctly, and this was generated by modelengine

[modest citrus]

No you do, it would be much faster to just edit the atlas than manually edit each model to source from a different folder

[stray berry]

some models had textures in a seperate folder, but i didnt add them because i assumed they where already included in the main config folders

[stray berry]

Oke, i keep the blocks.json in the resource pack as it is and i only change the one located in my server Modelengine folder. after i change that, do i reload the plugin and use the new resource pack created by modelengine?

[modest citrus]

Well you shouldn’t need to if you’re just adding the icons since those aren’t blockbench related

Replace the atlas, add what you changed, and reload your pack with f3+t or however you may need to do it through the server

[stray berry]

oke got it

btw, do i also have to add the lines from models that have nothint to do with nscy?

[modest citrus]

If it’s from the same item yes, if not you’ll have to edit the respective json

Someone might use brick instead of ink sac for instance

So you’d edit the brick file for that one

[stray berry]

there's a paper.json including all the items belonging to me texture pack

[modest citrus]

Most of this is laid out on this page https://mcpets.gitbook.io/mcpets/common-issues/common-issues/texture-pack-merging-custom-items-packs

[modest citrus]

You’ll have to edit that one with the same method to make sure they have different ascending numbers, the atlases set up, etc

It gets easier with practice

I also manually edit packs and it was

For the first while

[stray berry]

so everything that is in here, has to be copyd to the paper.json, but making sure they have different numbers?

[modest citrus]

Oh, no you don’t need to copy everything there

[modest citrus]

I assumed you were referring to the ones here whose icons were still paper

[stray berry]

noh, those are pixelpets

they dont have icons

[modest citrus]

Oh! My bad

Just test the ones you have done first to make sure they work

[stray berry]

something has changed

but for some reason, the blocks.json in the modelsengine folder located on my server, keeps resetting

[modest citrus]

Oh are you using the modelengine resourcepack in the folder itself

[stray berry]

yes

[modest citrus]

So i don’t handle the upload directly but you should probably move the pack out of the modelengine folder if you can because it will keep resetting

@amazoneomega i swear someone else had the same issue before right, do you remember what was the solution for that

[stray berry]

i've tried downloading the file, edit it there and re-upload it. That didnt work.
I also deleted the file on the server, created a new one, added the lines, saved it, but that also didnt work.

also tried to edit the file while the server was offline

[stray berry]

@blissful hollow do you know why the file resets itself?

[blissful hollow]

Where are you hosting the resourcepack?

Usually resets means that either your game doesnt save it correctly, or the notepad program you use

[stray berry]

i've got it working so far

but the weird thing is, although all the id's are matched, it still wont display correctly

can you spot any errors?

[blissful hollow]

looks like not reset RP

or refreshed

but pruple/black blocks indicate that textures are missing

also if it doesnt have a model means the model might be missing

when i say textures I mean the png's

when I say models I mean the right side

[stray berry]

the weird thing is, the icons showd earlier

these are the pets of wich the icons are messed up. But i cant find anything wrong in the file
I have also check if the icons.png where actualy there

[fluid jacinth]

You've put every custom model data in the ink sac JSON file, so you wanna be using an ink sac for the pet's icon as well

To that end, go to MCPets folder, then Pets folder and find the file corresponding to the icons that ain't working right

And change the icon material to INK_SAC

[stray berry]

oke will do. please dont close this

[stray berry]

oke, now i'm confused 😛

[fluid jacinth]

Is the pathing correct ?

(check that there exists such file in your texture pack zip)

[stray berry]

locations indeed where not matching

i've changed it.

@here i want to thank you all very much! I've been able to get it working, and now i have plenty of knowledge to do it myself with future pets ❤️

[stray berry]

One more question

do you know if there's a specific flag that allows me to spawn pets in spawn? It's currently not allowed because worldgaurd is blocking mob spawn.

[fluid jacinth]

@blissful hollow you're the expert with this right ?

I can never remember the right flags to use

[blissful hollow]

go in to WG config

and allow other plugin spawn

[stray berry]

Yep, that worked. Thanks! 🙂
