 Description   

Not sure if this is a related bug or not, but...

Tested in 1_5 PR.

I have edited the armor, helm, added a shadow to it (with partial transparency)
so if you use the helm in game, it will cover the players face with shadow, but not fully hide it = there is an opaque background.

everything works fine until you press F1 for screenshoting.

the shadow gets rendered opaque.

Minecraft does not support partial transparency for armor textures. MCPatcher or Optifine may add partial support. Mojang is not responsible for bugs with modifications to their code.

If you would like to request that partial transparency support be added to vanilla Minecraft, post on the suggestions forum or subreddit.

Then it is something that Minecraft cannot (and most likely shouldn't) handle.
OR
It requires the use of MC Patcher or other program to work correctly, like HD Texturepacks.

I made as you requested... sir...

despite the fact that it is not my job, but nvm...

I edited the DEFAULT armor helm in MINECRAFT.JAR, the face should be visible partialy darkened by black "shadow"... but as you can see it is not transparent just fully opaque.

Try using another texture pack that has transparency and try to get the same result.

Comment by Norbert ofcNOT [ 13/Mar/13 ]

again...

I... opened the /.minecraft folder
run the minecraft.exe file
login...
choose my TP...
open single player
create a new map in 1.5 pre-release
enter the map
equip the armor (creative mode)
I press the F2
I press F1... then F2
hit ESC
Save and Quit
Quit Game

upload the files here

I did not used MC Patcher, Optifine, Magic Launcher, or anything else... (applies for 100% to the armor screenshots with grass around)
(the paintings have been screenshoted by me already a while ago, so I do not remember if at that time I had OptiFine runing, thus I don't talk about those)

but the armor textures with grass around are taken in vanilla mc w/o any additional programs/mods or whatever

I asked a question... dunno if you ignore it or just overlook it...
Maybe if the answer is NO to that question this whole ticket is pointless...

so I ask once again... does the game actually supports partial transparency in armor files? or in paintings?

Comment by FireHunterX [ 13/Mar/13 ]

Did you use MCPatcher?
I'm fairly certain that you have to to use HD Texture packs...

Comment by Norbert ofcNOT [ 13/Mar/13 ]

I added additional screenshots, taken few minutes ago,... from a U N M O D E D minecraft ... runing from minecraft.exe
do you see on the other screenshots any mods? I DO NOT...

Comment by Norbert ofcNOT [ 13/Mar/13 ]

orly? so you maybe can visit over by me,... and see if I DO CHEAT!

WTF is this site for? pissing on players or to solve problems?!
This is really unbelievable... so you dare to tag me a cheater now?

SPEECHLESS!
SHOULD I PROVIDE A VIDEO SO YOU CAN BELIEVE ME?
WHAT ABOUT TRYING IT FOR YOUR SELF SIR?! BEFORE YOU SPIT AROUND ON OTHERS!

Comment by FireHunterX [ 13/Mar/13 ]

But seriously, you have a mod, and it screwed something up.
Your Crash Report must be from a different version than the one used to take a screenshot, as:
1) Is Modded: Probably not. Jar signature remains and client brand is untouched.
2) Suspicious classes: No suspicious classes found.

...and you clearly have a mod installed.

Sneaky sneaky!

Comment by Norbert ofcNOT [ 13/Mar/13 ]

Woaw! This... is really.... hillarious! ... "support"...

1st... I very well know for what are F1 and F2, F3, F5, F8 buttons...

2nd... it is not a pressure plate... it is an Armor Stand from a mod

3rd... it is not caused by modded client... that shit happens with or without the Armor stand instaled

the same shadow transparency issue happens with Paintings if placed on wall (=opaque backgroud)...

Dear Anon Ymus, maybe you should re-read the reported issue so you can actually say something usefull to the theme, but maybe you just missed the topic, as what you "answered" has no sentence with the ticket... GJ

updated

so it gets even more interesting...
I repeated the proces in UNMODED mc as you requested, ... the armor helm was rendered with opaque textures, no matter the F1 mode on/off.

So I would rather ask, if the game actually supports partial transparency at all in Armor files?
But then I have no idea why before if worked as seen on the screenshot... well... idc

I also add the Paintings screenshot with even more weird behavior by partial transparent textures (they get opaque by change of the view angle, etc. but if you look at a specific angle at the painting with a partial transparent shadow around it, the shadow is rendered correctly partialy transparent).

attached a crash report as requested

Comment by Kumasasa [ 12/Mar/13 ]

This ticket is invalid as it relates to a modded or 3rd party client/server.

  • Any non-standard client/server build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
  • Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the plugin creator.
  • This site is for addressing issues related to the base unmodded MineCraft.

Please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while ingame and attach the crash report here.

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 12/Mar/13 ]

F2 is for taking screenshots, and F1 is for toggling the HUD. Also, what are standing on the pressure plates and not triggering them?
