Im trying to have a lightvalue on a block meta, but its not going as well as i had hoped. The first block in the meta works well, but when i try to add a second block, the texture is really bright, like its got false light.

 

	
/*
 * @Override public int getLightValue (IBlockAccess world, int x, int y, int
 * z) { if (world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z) == 0) { return lightValue[15]; }
 * return super.getLightValue(world, x, y, z); }
 */
/*
 * @Override public int getLightValue(IBlockAccess iba, int x, int y, int z)
 * { int meta = iba.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z); if (meta == 0) { return 15; }
 * if (meta == 1) { return 0; } return 0; }
 */
@Override
public int getLightValue(IBlockAccess world, int x, int y, int z) {
	if (world.getBlockMetadata(x, y, z) == 0) {
		return 15;
	} else {
		return 0;
	}
}

 

the /* */ areas is old previous attempts, they all turn out like this.

 

 

The bricks are the block im refering to, if i place something on it, fence, wall, lever etc, it turns dark like its supposed to, i tryed binding same texture to another block with a different block, and it doesnt do it, so it aint the texture. Any thoughts?

heu ok.. im not sure what you want to happen

 

The bricks are the block im refering to, if i place something on it, fence, wall, lever etc, it turns dark like its supposed to

so when a block has 1 side obstructed it becomes all darkened ? <- you want this ?

and when you obscure 1 side, the obscured side is the right color but not the other sides ? <- this is happening instead ?

neither, the block is naturally supposed to be the darkened texture(like the texture is with the levers). But what happens is, when adding a  value of light to the 0 meta, the brick at 1 meta, gets that brightend effect, another screen to show what i mean

 

 

 

 

See how the brick clay bricks are different than the others(binded another block's texture to the brick texture), see the problem? I want the brick of clay in the meta not to be bright like that

is there anything that changes the meta of a block ? or it depends on how it was crafted/created

no, no recipes, only thing that has been done is, i added the itemblock, languageregistry and subblocks, thats all, thats why this confuses me

well... well how can there be blocks with meta other then 0 if nothing is changing it

 

i am super confused by this ??? ???

 

(im not accusing you btw im just really wondering how is iteven happening )

you said that there wemas subblocks, i imagine youre getting those with the god mode inventory. did you check that the meta was correct upon placement ? like a println in  onBlockPlaced or something

yes the meta is correct, thats not the problem lol, good though

Light value code seems right.

Block with meta=0 should give light like torch, while others don't.

Note that this parameter doesn't have anything to do with how your texture look. (except that without any light, anything looks dark obviously)

Can you show us how you set your textures ?

Still looking an answer to this if anyone knows, thanks
