Edit (11/23/2012): I fixed the texture issue, but i'm still having the placement issue.

 

 

The issue i'm having is that if I have a half block in one spot, and i try to place another on the area above it (not in the 'double slab' area', but a full block above) the block places a square below where it is

Here's the screenshot so that you know what i am talking about. the blocks on the right are the vinilla minecraft ones, and show what SHOULD be happening, while the ones on the left are obviously mine:

 

Anyway, here's my code:

 

This is the 'Ore class file',  I AM still learning java and minecraft scripting, so i'm not entirely sure WHY it is needed (because none of the tutorials i've read, and i have read a lot, have bothered to go into detail about why it has to be here). Anyway, i know that it's probably wrong, but again, i'm not sure. Anyway, here it is:

 

package mod_tgplanks;

import net.minecraft.src.Block;
import net.minecraft.src.ItemBlock;
import net.minecraft.src.ItemStack;

public class PlanksOre extends ItemBlock{
public PlanksOre(int ID, Block block){
	super(ID);
	setHasSubtypes(true);

}
public String getItemNameIS(ItemStack is){
	String name = "";
	switch(is.getItemDamage()){
	case 0: {name= "one"; break;}
	case 1: {name= "two"; break;}
	case 2: {name= "three"; break;}
	case 3: {name= "four"; break;}
	case 4: {name= "five"; break;}
	case 5: {name= "six"; break;}
	case 6: {name= "seven"; break;}
	case 7: {name= "eight"; break;}
	case 8: {name= "nine"; break;}
	case 9: {name= "ten"; break;}
	case 10: {name= "eleven"; break;}
	case 11: {name= "twelve"; break;}
	case 12: {name= "thirteen"; break;}
	case 13: {name= "fourteen"; break;}
	case 14: {name= "fifteen"; break;}
	case 15: {name= "sixteen"; break;}}
	return getItemName()+"."+name;
}

public int getMetadata(int meta){
	return meta;
}

}

 

 

Second code, the main class, or the package class file, whatever you want to call it. I have no idea if this is where everything is acting up, it might be, it might not be. If you know, please tell me.

I've been told that my Slab Class file SHOULD actually work right, but just in case the were wrong, here it is anyway:

package mod_tgplanks;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;

import net.minecraft.src.CreativeTabs;
import net.minecraft.src.ItemStack;
import net.minecraft.src.Material;

import cpw.mods.fml.common.Side;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.asm.SideOnly;

public class PlanksSlabs extends BlockHalfSlab{
public PlanksSlabs(int par1, boolean par2){
	super(par1, par2, Material.wood);
	this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
        this.setRequiresSelfNotify();
        this.setLightOpacity(0);
	}

//tells game what single slab drops on destruction
public int idDropped(int par1, Random par2Random, int par3)
{
	return TGplanks.PlanksSlabs.blockID;
	}

public void onBlockPlacedBy(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, EntityLiving par5EntityLiving){
	if(par1World.getBlockId(par2, par3 - 1, par4) == TGplanks.PlanksSlabs.blockID){
		int metadata = par1World.getBlockMetadata(par2, par3, par4) & 7;

		if(par1World.getBlockMetadata(par2, par3 - 1, par4) == metadata ){
			par1World.setBlockWithNotify(par2, par3, par4, 0);
			par1World.setBlockAndMetadataWithNotify(par2, par3 - 1, par4, TGplanks.DPlanksSlabs.blockID, metadata);
			}
		}
	}


//makes the double slab drop 2 single slabs
protected ItemStack createStackedBlock(int par1){
	return new ItemStack(TGplanks.PlanksSlabs.blockID, 2, par1 & 7);
	}

public String getFullSlabName(int var1){
	return null;
	}

public int getBlockTextureFromSideAndMetadata(int side, int metadata) {
	return 0 + (metadata & 7);
}

//gets texture file
public String getTextureFile()
{
	return "/tgplanks.png";
	}

@Override

public int damageDropped(int par2){
	return par2;
	}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    private static boolean isBlockSingleSlab(int par0){
	return par0 == TGplanks.PlanksSlabs.blockID;
	}

@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
public void getSubBlocks(int par1, CreativeTabs tab, List list){

 	if (par1 != TGplanks.PlanksSlabs.blockID){
 		for(int NumOfMets=0; NumOfMets<8; NumOfMets++){
 			list.add(new ItemStack(par1, 1, NumOfMets));
 			}
 		}
 	}

}

If you can help, please do. I've tried, and tried, and tried, and i've searched, but i just can't fix the stupid things T_T.

You could help you with TeamViewer, so when you want that just PN me.

Um? Teamviewer? what's that?

http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx

It's a programm where somebody (who is connected to you) can do something on your computer.

He sees all what you see and can interact.

Ok, last question before i say yes, why exactly do i need to use Teamviewer? My entire (or at least what effects slabs) code is post up there ^. (I've already downloaded and installed it (after googling it), i'm just making sure that it's either unnecessary or you have a reason for it. i know, i'm paranoid, but still)
