Comments
Hey, Wondering if there's a discord for people looking for assistance with geckolib from within mcreator? I'm having some issues with trying to keep an animation playing rather than it defaulting back to the idle animation on my entity, a discord server would be a great place to look for said help.
Hello, the plugin is working as intended for GeckoLib models, however, one of my mobs created before using the plugin now causes an error when compiling. This mob uses the Mcreator built-in Bipedal model and no matter what I do it always throws out the same code:
error: cannot find symbol
super(renderManager, new LeenaModelProcedure());
^
symbol: class LeenaModelProcedure
location: class LeenaRenderer
The bipedal model gives the ability to easily switch out which armor the model (like a zombie) is wearing at any given point.
I believe the plugin is at fault because there were no problems like that prior to installing.
How do I fix this if possible? Thank you.
Oh, brave adventurer, your search for version 2.8 is a perilous one. The path ahead is shrouded in mystery and danger, winding through the dark corners of the internet where the unwary can easily become lost. But you must be strong and resolute, for the prize you seek is a rare and precious one, lost to all but the most intrepid of seekers. May fortune favor you and your journey be swift and sure, leading you to the version you seek.
Hey so uh i need help you see i have made seek from doors and i took the model from an bedrock addon and converted it into a geckolib model the animations were fine in blockbench but when i exported them some of them are playing like attack but some are not even tho i renamed them to walk,idle etc i have no idea if this is the model's fault or am i doing something wrong is there any possible way i could send you the file with the model? so you can see whats wrong since i myself have no idea whats wrong with it
Hello! I tried installing the most recent version of the plugin last night but I had no luck. I have a Mac and a windows computer so I tried using it on both to see if it was an issue with the operating system but neither worked. I tried making a new workspace with the newest version of MCreator without the plugin installed and that did work, however when I re added the plugin it went back to not responding when I tried opening it with the plugin installed. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
