Block acting strange with large metadata

[vtsman]

I have a block that usually has a metadata of over 10000000, and It doesn't seem to register a metadata that high. can anyone help. here's my block code:

 

package vtsman.mine_modus.block;

 

import java.util.List;

 

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.Side;

import cpw.mods.fml.relauncher.SideOnly;

 

import vtsman.mine_modus.tileentity.nodetype;

import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

import net.minecraft.item.ItemStack;

import net.minecraft.tileentity.TileEntity;

import net.minecraft.world.IBlockAccess;

import net.minecraft.world.World;

 

 

public class node extends Block{

private  String[] types = {"Energy", "Item", "Liquid", "Energy", "Item", "Energy"};

private  int[] radius = {5, 10, 10, 20, 20, 20};

private  int[] capacity = {100, 64, 400, 1000, 1024, 10000};

private  int[] color = {0xA3CADE, 0xCC2900, 0xEDCC47, 0x66CCFF, 0xE62E00, 0x000000};

private nodetype type = null;

vtsman.mine_modus.tileentity.node tile;

public node(int par1, Material par2Material) {

super(par1, par2Material);

// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

} 

public void getSubBlocks(int par1, CreativeTabs par2CreativeTabs, List par3List)

    {

par3List.add(new ItemStack(this.blockID, 1, 11000100));

par3List.add(new ItemStack(this.blockID, 1, 12010000));

par3List.add(new ItemStack(this.blockID, 1, 21000064));

par3List.add(new ItemStack(this.blockID, 1, 31000400));

    }

@Override

public boolean renderAsNormalBlock()

{

return false;

}

 

    @SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)

    public int getBlockColor()

    {

   

        return Integer.parseInt(Integer.toString(type.getColor()), 16);

}

public void breakBlock(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, int par5, int par6)

    {

System.out.println("hello");

            par1World.removeBlockTileEntity(par2, par3, par4);

    }

/*public void setBlockBoundsBasedOnState(IBlockAccess par1IBlockAccess, int i, int j, int k)

        return tile;

    }

    return 0;

    }

    private String getStringType(int meta){

    int x = (meta - meta % 10000000)/10000000;

    }

}

 

 

 

The block is also an itemBlock

I believe that the meta data range is 0 to 17. So yeah... That could be why

0-15

I'm now trying to use itemstack nbt data instead of metadata. Hopefully that will work

[Draco18s]

Just so you're aware:

 

Blocks in-world aren't item stacks.

[ObsequiousNewt]

Yep; I think in this case you need a TileEntity (but at least you don't need to write a TESR.)

Wait a sec. What did you planed what that block does do?

 

I mean maybe you even need no metadata.

 

There is a way to make metadata without making it. I mean like buildcraft pipes.

Or my pipes (my mod is hidden).

 

Buildcraft made it like that:

 

When you place the block. The item (pipe) give the block(pipe) his information

and where he has to look and to get it.

 

I made it like that:

i made a new LiquidPipe which is working (at the moment a little bit buggy because the code is 5 hours old). I made a view functions which alow me to change it.

 

When i rightclick the item a basic pipe will be place (and the block loads his TE).

After that (in the same click) the item looks does block is there, does it have a tile, and if that is right is it a pipe? When all this things are true than he looks in the infos of the tile and change a view numbers. Then the click is finish.

 

With that system you safe meta (you can make infinte sub meta with that (submeta is a meta of the meta)). But do not overload it.

Because when you make it so complex like eloraam (her mod is awsome but laggy(the covers are to much)) you will create alot of lag. Its ok you can make a big submeta when it changes only 1-2 numbers but when it change rotation, rendering and everything complicatet stuff you should be becarefull.

Everything has his price.

 

I hope it helps. and i know i wrote to much but thats me .

I mean like buildcraft pipes.

 

It's called a Tile Entity.
