I have this

 

package hat.blocks.palmblocks;

 

import javax.swing.Icon;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

import hat.HAT;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;

import net.minecraft.util.IIcon;

 

public class palmlog extends Block{

 

private static String textureName;

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

private Icon topTexture;

 

public palmlog(String textureName){

super(Material.wood);

setHardness(1F);

setResistance(1.0F);

 

this.textureName = textureName;

}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void registerIcons(IconRegister reg){

this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(HAT.MODID + ":" + textureName);

this.topTexture = reg.registerIcon(HAT.MODID + ":" + textureName + "_Top");

}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public Icon getIcon(int side, int meta){

if(side == 0 || side == 1){

return this.topTexture;

}

return this.blockIcon;

}

}

 

 

 

 

red=errors also in the main file

palmlog = new palmlog("Palm_Wood_Log").setBlockName("palmlog").setCreativeTab(hatblocksTab);

        GameRegistry.registerBlock(palmlog, "palmlog");

 

Your setting textureName to null.. so it is returning null. Give it a location here:

 

palmlog = new palmlog(null).setBlockName("palmlog").setCreativeTab(hatblocksTab);

            GameRegistry.registerBlock(palmlog, "palmlog");

 

That null, needs to be a texture name.

i know sorry i forgot to update that part but the errors in the block class still exsist

 

Hi

 

 

Dude, if you're getting an error it would probably help a lot if you tell us what the error message actually  is :-)

 

I guess the cause is probably this

 

import javax.swing.Icon;

 

Wrong import...

there is no error message it's in eclipse which found and underlined the errors, and I'll check my imports tomorrow

Hi

 

I use IntelliJ not Eclipse, but I'm sure it's the same:

- if I hover the mouse near the red underline, it tells me the error message.

Also, if I perform a compile, it brings up an error message in the compilation log.

 

Give it a go and see?

Also in 1.7.x aren't they called IIcon and IIconRegister?

You even imported the right classes, just missed the I in front of the names in your methods.

ok i now have this copied from the normal log as it uses a rotated pillar block

 

package hat.blocks.palmblocks;

 

import javax.swing.Icon;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

import hat.HAT;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.BlockRotatedPillar;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.util.IIcon;

 

public class palmlog extends BlockRotatedPillar{

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    public IIcon[] field_150167_a;

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    public IIcon[] field_150166_b;

private static final String __OBFID = "CL_00000266";

   

  // sideicon =  Palm_Wood_Log_Side;

 

public palmlog() {

super(Material.wood);

  this.setHardness(2.0F);

      this.setStepSound(soundTypeWood);

 

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

protected IIcon getSideIcon(int p_150163_1_) {

    return this.field_150167_a[p_150163_1_ % this.field_150167_a.length];

}

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    protected IIcon getTopIcon(int p_150161_1_)

    {

        return this.field_150166_b[p_150161_1_ % this.field_150166_b.length];

    }

 

 

 

}

 

 

or this

 

package hat.blocks.palmblocks;

 

import javax.swing.Icon;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

import hat.HAT;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;

import net.minecraft.block.BlockRotatedPillar;

import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;

import net.minecraft.client.renderer.texture.IIconRegister;

import net.minecraft.util.IIcon;

 

public class palmlog extends BlockRotatedPillar{

 

private static String textureName;

 

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

private IIcon topTexture;

 

public palmlog(String textureName){

super(Material.wood);

setHardness(2.0F);

setResistance(1.0F);

setStepSound(soundTypeWood);

 

this.textureName = textureName;

 

 

}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public void registerIcons(IIconRegister reg){

this.blockIcon = reg.registerIcon(HAT.MODID + ":" + textureName + "_Side.png");

this.topTexture = reg.registerIcon(HAT.MODID + ":" + textureName + "_Top.png");

}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

public IIcon getIcon(int side){

if(side == 0 || side == 1){

return this.topTexture;

}

return this.blockIcon;

}

@Override

protected IIcon getSideIcon(int var1) {

 

return null;

}}

 

 

 

 

Im aware that the if statement corrosponding to sides as in the one above doesnt work for a rotated pillar block, which is why i have a version with the copied code, i can't get textures to load in the world, the fields i pressume link to the texture name it's trying to pull but i dont know how to register these to pull my textures instead?

Can you show your main class (where you initialize / register your block)?

yup there you go

package hat;

also im creating view recipes for vanilla things such as beds and turning wool back into string, but only know how to do this for white wool, how can it be set to use all the colours? as i pressume if ||=or then 'new ItemStack(Blocks.wool, 1) || new Itemstack(Blocks.wool, 1, 1)' would work if i did for all 16 but is there a way to pull in one go

Where are you placing your textures?

 

C:\Users\User\Desktop\MC MODDING\HAT\src\main\resources\assets\hat\textures\blocks

then the textures are called "Palm_Wood_Log_Top" and "Palm_Wood_Log_Side"
