TileEntity Supported?

[ghost]

Hi, I've been trying to get CoG to work with GregTech, I have found the correct unlocalized name for the Ores however they seems to be tile entities. When I use them with CoG it only spawns the main block.

Does CoG support tile entities? And if so, what did I do wrong?

For a test i replaced minecraft:diamond_ore with gregtech:gt.blockores:32 inside a copy of the MinecraftOres.xml (copied to custom dir), but it spawned gregtech:gt.blockores:0 instead of :32.

Sorry, yes, they are tile entities, which are not yet supported. We would need to express NBT in XML. That's very feasible, but it would take some work.

Oh ok :) this seems to be (so far) the only stumbling block to getting CoG and GT to work together. When/if this feature gets added I'll try and do a pull request for a fully usable GregTech xml :)

Yea, unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to commit time to this unless it becomes a more general trend among mods.

I just looked at 1.8 block names and I see stone:2 etc, is that a tile entity? http://www.minecraftinfo.com/idnamelist.htm

[retep998]

No, stone:2 is a regular block with a metadata of 2. A TileEntity is a block with NBT data, which stone:2 is not.

Bugger. Typical Greg does things too differently >.< heh. Oh well if it ever happens I'll still do an XML :) thanks lawremi!

I'm going to reopen, because we do want to support this eventually. This will remind us.

Btw, I am working on a Gregtech config inspired by Geologica, so please hold off unless you really want to do your own thing.
