[*:2nypii2c]Pushing a minecart at on the side does weird things.
[*:2nypii2c]Certain setups will cause the extended part of the piston to disappear, which makes the piston useless.
[*:2nypii2c]While being pushed, blocks will always render as cubes with the same texture on all side (low priority).
[*:2nypii2c]Sometimes, dropped items are not pushed when they should be.
[*:2nypii2c]Pushing 1 part of a door will drop 2 door items.
[*:2nypii2c]Chests are reset after moving.

10.04. Invisibility bug fixed.
11.04. (minor) In your invertory, piston has this icon: [img]http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/1623/pistonitem.png[/img]
11.04. You can now move note blocks, dispensers and furnaces without them resetting. However chests still lose their items :sad.gif:.
11.04. Pistons can now pull slowsand!
13.04. Pistons can not [url=http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1032&t=247686&p=3930489#p3926084]duplicate[/url] torches, levers, etc.
[size=xx-large][center]Differences from official version[/center][/size]
[list][*:2nypii2c]Crafting piston will give you an item 2448 instead of a block 100. Thus item icon and block texture can be different.
[*:2nypii2c]Pushing noteblocks, doesn't reset them. Pushing furnace or dispenser doesn't destroy it's content.
[size=xx-large]Note: this is partly caused by a bug in minecraft, that when you destroy furnace or dispenser it will not drop it's content.[/size]
[*:2nypii2c]/mods/pistondv.txt contains 2 values: block ID and item ID. Default is "100 2448". This means that IDs 100, 101 and 2704 (= 2448 + 256) will be used.

Thank you! I will download this as soon as I get the chance. Is the bug where your game crashes when you open a chest with an old piston in it still present? I saw you mentioned it in the topic for the original mod.

Due to last bug, it looks like crafting pistons doesn't work, but this screenshot shows that it works. ("60" in slot 7 are also pistons).
that's a pretty huge bug not having the piston show up, I'd say this is more of a WIP than releasable project. But hey, i'm no mod so :tongue.gif:
Wait so are you just updating it for him or something?
If so I would recommend not as developers are usually working on something when its not out(DUH)
So when he updates his yours will be obsolete and you will get lots of troll comments.

If he updates. I'm almost sure that this will not happen.
Probably, I'll fix that bug by making a piston item (like repeater is both item and block).
when i try to download it, it downloads a thing that when i click sends me to a webpage were i download the exact same thing that sends me to the exact same page again where it tells me to download the exact same thing AGAIN!

If? notch already announced that pistons would be released in one of the 1.5 updates so even IF he doesnt update this himself notch will take over so yea..
Downloaded mod loader, downloaded piston 1.4_1, installed it how it is but when i craft it i don't see any item. But when i hover above the "crafting spot" i see piston, so i move it to an empty spot and set it on the ground and it sets, gave it power and BAM, it works thank you very much for the mod i love it.

The original author (Hippo) claims that he cant figure out how to update it for 1.4.1. This claim is suspect given the very minor changes made between 1.4 and 1.4.1, that no other mod author has experienced any problems making this transition, and that an arbitrary coder was able to pick up the mod and get it to work for 1.4.1 in only a few days.
In all likelihood Hippo has made a deal with Notch and Jeb to cease all development on pistons-as-a-mod, attempting to freeze the community out while pistons-as-a-feature is hammered out. This sort of strategy will fail precisely because there are over a million users of minecraft. We are legion. There will always be someone to fill the void.
Default IDs are 100, 101 and 2704.

Good job on porting it though.

Have you used an invedit-like program to get this block?
This mod uses 2 blocks:
1) PistonBase, which you craft and which is invisible.
2) Piston (extending part), which you can't get without cheating.
It looks like you have 2nd.
PS. I'm fixing that bug.
EDIT: I need an image for a piston item. Can anyone draw it for me?
Oh im sorry, did you forget there are _01 and usually _02 versions of it? hmm oh well
Yes but chances are it would be in an update with lots of content in it. Not just bugfixes
Invisibility bug fixed.

EDIT: Never mind, I found the bug myself.
