1.5 texture loading question

[planetguy]

Registering an icon, you need to pass in a string, which I assume is the path to the texture. How do you format the path?

I divide my mod into packages of similar functions, so that my textures are at mod folder/planetguy/Gizmos/spy for example.

Someone posted a short tutorial on that on the Forge forums. I don't have the direct link on hand, though.

Thanks for telling me, I found it here. Another thing, I have a persistent error:

Edit: I narrowed it down to the spy table part, which is probably not working because it contains a GUI screen. Anyone know what needs to be done to GUIs to fix texture loading in 1.5?

[Lethosos]

Should be no depreciatable change to how GUI art is coded in, AFAIK. The way they arranged the texture directory after I used Unsticher on a pre 1.5 texture pack says that they go into a GUI folder.

[Markarthian]

That's weird... You're registering a possible runtime exception (with the code I gave you) but it is null?? The code should work.

If it hasn't got anything to do with that config stuff, idk...

[planetguy]

I found it! I never gave the spy lens item (an ingredient for the spy lab) an unlocalized name, so it was null.

Ahh, yeah... That is indeed problematic. (well, not anymore )
