These are some strange glitches but thanks for reporting them!
I'm gonna test them out and see what I get.
As for what the Green torch is supposed to do (I may have broken something in the latest update somehow) is it will change a 6 block radius of Nether Stone into Dirt and place a 3x3 area of grass (Letting it then naturally spread from there). It should also make anything directly under it into Grass.
Testing:
Green Stone Torch not making grass (AH HAH!)
Purple Torch Removal (Hmmm...)
Also, firefudge, can you get me a list of the mods you are using so I can try and find what is conflicting?
Edit:
I just remembered. MC updates blocks when blocks nearby are updated if not updated themselves through a command specifically by that block...
This means, the only way to update the dirt into grass is to turn the torch off and then back on.
Basically, spawn the Green Torch then turn it off (Any means works as long as it toggles to Idle) then turn it back on and it should work its magic.
I'm going to work on a fix for this as it shouldn't be that hard (I'm fairly sure I know exactly why it does this)
Edit2: Also, I'm not saying what you are saying isn't true but none of the torches crash me when I remove them (Off or On state).
Anyone else experiencing this glitch (Torches crashing MC on removal)?
Edit3: I've fixed the change to dirt and start growing grass on place. So no more having to toggle it to power it up.
I'm not releasing it yet until I fix the place grass under it no matter what

41 if you count ModLoader and AudioMod
I have no clue what would be doing it
Hmmm... The only other thing I can say is to make sure you have the most up to date version of my mod and that any other mod_ColorStoneTorch class files are gone from the jar when you install it. (Earlier versions had the Version tag in the class file name for god only knows why >.>)
I've fixed everything on Green Stone except for it ungrowing grass (Which I'm working on now)
It's 10:40 pm now. If I don't have it done by 11:00 PM (20 minutes), I'm releasing the update anyways so that you all can get the grass to grow at least.
Edit:
Updated out but I'm still working on Ungrowing. (I have to double it up with a powered AND by block update). Getting there very soon.

and you've tried turning them off and then back on?
Also, the place bug should be fixed, it should place grass when you place the torch now. If you could show me a video of what you've tried it would be really helpful for me to see what's happening

I recently downloaded the Colored Torches Mod, and am currently only using two other mods, which is Rusigami's modloader, and SDK's Guns and Grappling Hook. I can craft the torches, but for some reason they don't appear as torches, but as a tall, purple cross. Any help would be appreciated. (They also work the way their suppose to, just the images don't seem to be working.)
and you've tried turning them off and then back on? Also, the place bug should be fixed, it should place grass when you place the torch now.
I've placed green torches on the Sand, picked them up immediately and replaced them. I've then left them on for a few game days, left them off for a few game days, and even flicked them on and off half a dozen times with a redstone wire and lever. Absolutely no effect at all.
EDIT: I tried it on Stone, Cobblestone, and Gravel, and even Wood (for the hell of it) and no effect, but the green torches work fine on Bloodstone though - insta-grass.

they only are supposed to work on bloodstone...
Yea, the reason for this is so that you could still use them for different color lights and LED's for decoration without having your Obsidian or Smooth Stone turn into Grass.
We can take up a list of blocks people want to have changed to Grass and I can incorporate them into the Green's change list. (I could see sand being fine since I doubt anyone is decorating on top of sand BUT I may be wrong)

I am really interested in your 1 way glass mod, as soon as you incorporate at least cobblestone I will be downloading it.
this is a really cool mod idea
Did you copy the 3 CST pic files into your minecraft.jar? The torches appear as purple crosses for a split second as the game starts, but after that they're fine for me. I made different ones in purple, green and blue to match the look of my actual Redstone torches as they look in the x32 texture pack I use, and even they look as they should.
Yeah, I copied the CST files into the minecraft.jar, but their still always the crosses. Currently I'm using the default textures at the moment, so I think it might just be the regular textures conflicting. About to try using a x32 texture pack.
*edit*
Just finished installing and testing the texture pack to see if it fixed the problem, the torches still appear as crosses.
The torches should work regardless of texture pack or picture size (Though you might have to use the HD Patcher for sizes bigger than 16x16)
When you copied the images, you put them in the main location of the Minecraft.jar not in any sub folders? I really can't imagine why they wouldn't work then. What OS are you using? It might be a mac thing or something?
PS:
I could make it do sand also. If no one particularly objects, it will be in the next update
Also also, One Way Glass is getting close to having more block types!

Black screen on installing colored torches :sad.gif:. I installed it like I install any other mod, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Did you remember to delete the Meta-INF?
If so, are you using a texture pack with the HD Patcher, I always have to repatch it when I install a mod that has its own textures.
I definitely deleted the Meta-Inf, and I have never used an HD texture. I tried to install a different mod, and I got a black screen again, then I installed another one (after restoring the bin to my backup) and it was fine.
Are you running a mac? I don't know if this is what's doing it but it seems like only a percentage of the people that get CST are experiencing this. I don't know what would cause it so I'm just trying to gather as much data as possible on the error as it is hard to pinpoint apparently.
Edit: edit. Actually... Wait... What mods were you using in conjunction with CST? I think there is a mod that has the same Block ID number... (That will cause a Black Screen)
(PSST! Ninja edit time! Super Secret Update to be uploaded with fanfare amounts of noise soon ish. Should solve ID conflicts! Also, One Way Glass is proving to be a bit more difficult to add in other materials without adding in extra Block ID's...)
Ninja Edit 2:
Update coming on Color Stone Torches as soon as it uploads (Editing the Original Post now)
Changelog:
CST Green now also changes Sand to grass
New torch added (ID's are 28 and 29 {or 27 and 28, can't remember lol})
Word of advice on the new torch... It is crafted with a RedStone Torch and a Bucket of Lava on top for a reason...
It is POWERFUL... also, try and only place it on the side of blocks... I added in a feature where placing it flat on the ground confuses it (This really was on purpose)
See Screen Shots in OP when it is updated! (You will know it is updated because you will see new screenies!)

Are you making it just like this?
