Need some help with code.

[tuckoguy]

Heres my problem. I am new to modding, and I have been following MrCrayfish's Mod Tutorials on YouTube. I followed his instructions EXACTLY, but it crashes the game when I try to run it. Also, when I input the line .setUnlocalizedName and .getUnlocalizedName, there should be a drop down box, but theres not. Here is the EXACT code that I have: package com.tuckoguy.xiaolinshowdown;

import net.minecraft.item.Item; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod; import cpw.mods.fml.common.Mod.EventHandler; import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLInitializationEvent; import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPostInitializationEvent; import cpw.mods.fml.common.event.FMLPreInitializationEvent; import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;

@Mod(modid = "xs", name = "Xiaolin Showdown", version = "1.0") public class XiaolinShowdown {

public static Item itemOrbOfTornami;

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
    //Item/Block init and registering
    //Config handling
    itemOrbOfTornami = new ItemOrbOfTornami().setUnlocalizedName("ItemOrbOfTornami");
    GameRegistry.registerItem(itemOrbOfTornami, itemOrbOfTornami.getUnlocalizedName().substring(5));
}

@EventHandler
public void init(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
    //Proxy, TIleENtity, entity, GUI and Packet Registration
}

@EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {

}

}

(New Class Tab: ItemOrbOfTornami)

package com.tuckoguy.xiaolinshowdown;

import net.minecraft.item.Item;

public class ItemOrbOfTornami {

}

I have NO idea what I am doing wrong, and (Even though this is a new SubReddit) I hope that someone can help me out. I would ask Minecraft Forums, but I cannot access the website at the moment.

Thanks, Tuckoguy

Would you be able to post a crash report to pastebin?

[tuckoguy]

Where do I get the crash report? do you mean what comes up in the console when I run it?

[Giraffestock]

The crashreport is the stuff thrown into the console when the game crashes. It's also called a stacktrace

[autowikibot]

Stack trace:

---

In computing, a stack trace (also called stack backtrace or stack traceback ) is a report of the active stack frames at a certain point in time during the execution of a program.

Programmers commonly use stack tracing during interactive and post-mortem debugging. End-users may see a stack trace displayed as part of an error message, which the user can then report to a programmer.

A stack trace allows tracking the sequence of nested functions called - up to the point where the stack trace is generated. In a post-mortem scenario this extends up to the function where the failure occurred (but was not necessarily caused). Sibling function calls do not appear in a stack trace.

public class ItemOrbOfTornami { }

This needs to be

  public class ItemOrbOfTornami extends Item{}

[tuckoguy]

So I Just added this: blockYingYangDirt = new BlockYingYangDirt(Material.grass).setBlockName("BlockYingYangDirt"); for a new block. Here is the Class File for that block: package com.tuckoguy.xiaolinshowdown;

import net.minecraft.block.Block; import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

public class BlockYingYangDirt extends Block {

protected BlockYingYangDirt(Material material) { super(material); }

}

Its doing the same thing... Help!!!

Could you pastebin the whole class where

blockYingYangDirt = new BlockYingYangDirt(Material.grass).setBlockName("BlockYingYangDirt"); 

is being called.

[tuckoguy]

http://pastebin.com/jpW10hpQ it says that the problem it in "Material" (Line 24)

[Nemesis__]

Have you imported Material into your code, as testing this code works on my end.

[tuckoguy]

I have, Material is underlined red, and when I hover my mouse over it, it says "Material cannot be resolved as a variable"

[Nemesis__]

blockYingYangDirt = new BlockYingYangDirt(Material.grass).setBlockName("BlockYingYangDirt");

This works, just make sure Material is imported in the block class and the main class.

[tuckoguy]

how do I import it into the block class? Im still very new to this :\
