1.7+ Slab help needed.

[rtester]

This is driving me crazy I been racking my brains over this for like 3 days or so straight and nothing I do seems to work at all.  I have the slab texture, name, and middle click right. The slab will stack top slab - bottom slab. But will not place bottom slab- top slab to create a full block.  I been all over the parent classes I believe I almost have every method included in my class file and from what I did with the stairs class I probably have way too much code just to extend the blocks because my stairs only have like 10 lines of code max I believe but these slabs is getting way out of hand I believe. I add more methods that seem to do nothing at all to allow the slabs to stack.

 

here is my code for my

ObsidianSlab.java

}

return super.getUnlocalizedName() + "." + slabName[i];

}
}

}

}

 

 

and here is the code that calls the class in my

 

ModBlocks.java

 

//Stone Slabs
public static Block obsidianSlab;
public static Block obsidianDblSlab;



public static void init(){

// Stone Slabs
obsidianSlab = new ObsidianSlab(false, Material.rock).setBlockName(Constants.MODID + "_" + ObsidianSlab.name).setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
obsidianDblSlab = new ObsidianSlab(true, Material.rock).setBlockName(Constants.MODID + "_" + ObsidianSlab.name1).setCreativeTab(null);



//GameRegistry.registerBlock(this, name);
GameRegistry.registerBlock(obsidianSlab, ObsidianSlab.name);
GameRegistry.registerBlock(obsidianDblSlab, ObsidianSlab.name1);

}

 

 

All the tutorials I find on the net is only for 1.6 and they all state to get the blocks to show up as a full slab you need to put code like this in the post init method to get them to stack.

@Mod.EventHandler
public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent event) {

Item.itemsList [ModBlocks.obsidianSlab.blockID] = (new ItemSlab(
ModBlocks.obsidianSlab.blockID - 256, (ObsidianSlab) ModBlocks.obsidianSlab,
(ObsidianSlab) ModBlocks.obsidianDblSlab, false)); 
}

 

But when I try to remove the part that says .blockID to like .Block it wont work since it is looking for an integer instead of a block. I can not find where the source for minecraft is doing the post init code for the slabs. So would anyone please help me figure this out.

Register custom ItemBlocks with the GameRegistry when calling registerBlock.

 

would you happen to have an example I could see? I read itemBlocks.class and all kind of stuff its just that I am new to modding and do not know what to look for.

[rtester]

GameRegistry.registerBlock(myBlock, MyItemBlock.class, "foobar", <additional constructor arguments>)

 

It's really pretty self-explanatory.

 

I do not have an custom itemBlock class I was trying to do the slab in a single class called ObsidianSlabs like I all of my Stair blocks.  Do I need more than 1 class to get this to work in 1.7 because 1.6 I only needed 1 class.

 

this is what the blocks are doing the way I have them.

Wort case scenario you could have an onRightClick method to replace the current block with another one.

[rtester]

You've always needed a custom ItemBlock class, in 1.6 and in 1.7.

I did not need one for my stair blocks but I have yet to write recipes for them also. as this is my first mod There is a lot to learn.

 

I think I might be getting closer to the solution to my problem with the slab if someone could help me out with this crash I am having. I know it placed a slab on top of the block just before it crashed because when I load the game back up I can see an outline of an invisible block. here is the files as I now have them.

Thanks for all the help you all have given me I am getting closer to solving the dilemma..

You never initialize the "textureBlock" field.

 

I thought it was initialized I have it in the declares in the main method and being set in my slab setup in ModBlocksSlabs.java the obsidian texture is showing up on the block.

private boolean isDoubleSlab;
private int numSubBlocks;
private Block singleSlab;
private Block textureBlock;
private int textureStartCounter;
public final static String name = "obsidianSlab";
public final static String name1 = "obsidianDblSlab";
public static final String[] slabName = new String[]{ name, name1 };

public ObsidianSlab(boolean _isDoubleSlab, Material _blockMaterial, int _numSubBlocks, Block _singleSlab, Block _textureBlock, int _textureStartCounter) {

	super(_isDoubleSlab, _blockMaterial);

	this.setHardness(50.0F);
	this.setResistance(2000.0F);
	this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 3);
	this.setStepSound(soundTypePiston);
	this.useNeighborBrightness = true;
	this.setLightOpacity(255);

	if(_isDoubleSlab){

		this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
		//this.setBlockName(Constants.MODID + "_" + ObsidianSlab.name1);
		//this.setCreativeTab(null);
	  
		} else{

			//this.setBlockName(Constants.MODID + "_" + ObsidianSlab.name);
			this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
		  	this.isDoubleSlab = _isDoubleSlab;
		  	this.numSubBlocks = _numSubBlocks;
		  	this.singleSlab = _singleSlab;
		  	this.textureBlock = _textureBlock;
		  	this.textureStartCounter = _textureStartCounter;
		  	
	}

}

The name is showing up as tile.obsidianBlock instead of tile.missingblock the example code I got this code from show for it to be written this way.

 

in the customitemSlab file

this.singleSlab = (BlockSlab) MyModName.mySlabSingle; //Here you have to set your single slab
this.doubleSlab = (BlockSlab) MyModName.mySlabDouble; //And here your double slab

 

but i could not resolve (BlockSlab) missingblock.mySlabSingle the only way I could get it to resolve was

this.singleSlab = (BlockSlab) ModBlocksSlabs.obsidianSlab; //Here you have to set your single slab
this.doubleSlab = (BlockSlab)ModBlocksSlabs.obsidianDblSlab; //And here your double slab

or

this.singleSlab = (obsidianSlab) ModBlocksSlabs.obsidianSlab; //Here you have to set your single slab
this.doubleSlab = (obsidianSlab) ModBlocksSlabs.obsidianDblSlab; //And here your double slab

 

but either way the name is messed up when you mouse over it and when it goes to place it on top of the lower slab the game crashes. could you tell me how to fix this as you can see I am trying to research it try different things and nothing still seems not to work and I am getting very frustrated that all i see to get is  cryptic answers. you said I did not initialize the textureBlock but did you look at the code files?

if i did not initialize it right why don't tell me where I went wrong in initializing it.  Do not get me wrong I really appreciate the time people takes and post on this but as I stated I am a beginner modding programmer and you guys answer like I am a seasoned modding programmer. I also have a learning disablilty and I am trying my best to do this all on my own but I really need help on this.
