Hey so I am still trying to make a new block and now I just have a few errors. Being a modding/java n00b I really don't know how to fix them. Thanks in advance. Here is my code:

mod_***.java

package net.minecraft.src;
public class mod_LargeLightMod extends BaseMod
{
public static final Block Lightdirt = new BlockLightdirt (125,0).setBlockName("Lightdirt").setHardness(3F).setResistance(1F).setLightValue(1F);

public void load()
{
	Lightdirt.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png, "/Lightdirt.png");
	ModLoader.registerBlock(Lightdirt);
	ModLoader.addName(Lightdirt, "Lightdirt");
	ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack (Lightdirt, 2), new Object [] {"###", "#L#", "###", Character.valueOf ('#'), Block.dirt, Character.valueOf ('L'), Item.lightStoneDust});
}

public String getVersion()
{

	 return "1.2.5";
}
}

BlockLightdirt.java

package net.minecraft.src;
import java.util.Random;
public class BlockLightdirt extends Block
{
	public BlockLightdirt (int i, int j)
	{
	 super(i, j, Material.ground);
	}
	
public int idDropped (int i, Random random, int j)
{
	return mod_LargeLightMod.Lightdirt.125;
}
public int quantityDropped (Random random)
{
		return 1;
}}

And here are the errors:

src\minecraft\net\minecraft\src\BlockLightdirt.java:13: error: ';' expected
return mod_***.Lightdirt.125;

and

src\minecraft\net\minecraft\src\mod_***.java:9: error: unclosed string literal
Lightdirt.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png", "/Lightdirt.png");

and here is a Screenshot of the errors:

Thanks.

Firstly, you didn't give your Lightdirt block any special properties. Everything you declared in BlockLightdirt.java is unnecessary, as all those settings are set by default. That being the case, you can safely delete that class and change your declaration of the block in the mod_* to this:

public static final Block Lightdirt = new Block(125, Material.ground).setBlockName("Lightdirt").setHardness(3F).setResistance(1F).setLightValue(1F);

You might also want to set a step sound for it on the end there... If it's going to sound like dirt when you walk on it, it'll need to look like this:

public static final Block Lightdirt = new Block(125, Material.ground).setBlockName("Lightdirt").setHardness(3F).setResistance(1F).setLightValue(1F).setStepSound(Block.soundGravelFootstep);

Next up is the line containing your texture for the block in your mod_* file. You've forgotten an end-quote on the /terrain. Here's what you have:

Lightdirt.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png, "/Lightdirt.png");

And here's what it should be:

Lightdirt.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png", "/Lightdirt.png");

Try that, go up to file, hit "Save All", recompile, test. If you still have errors, come back.

so, I'm making a mod (duh...) and it says it can't find an image, it could find it before but always my last modloader.addoverdrive doesn't seem to work. I tried renaming it all and it still wont work, help?

Tell us exactly where you put your textures as well as post your code.
