[MECH] Minecart Mania 1.2 [1060] (On Hiatus)

Lol. Everyone's asleep.

The values need to be in caps, GOLD_BLOCK works gold_block wont work, this could be your issue.

Sleeping...?!?! It's 8:09

In Europe, yes, in United States/Canada, not. For me, it's 2:12 am. So, I really need to go to sleep.

I'd still be asleep then too.

Its 1:48 AM where I live.. USA and why can I not use redstone to cancel off the effects of the blocks? I need that

Because it's an AlphaVersion!

ok ok ok

Sorry for bump but i saw that vid and it made me get me have some hopes But overall GREAT MOD!

The real reason, is that the needed functionality are not implemented yet in Bukkit.

ok

Is there a way to make a track activate redstone for a door or something?
That would be good because I need ti really bad

I don't know if this is related to AutoCart or to Bukkit. I am seeing some really strange things since using AutoCart on friday night. I have a lot of tracks where it curves and there is another track straight section that runs into the curve. Now, when the cart comes to one of those curves, it changes the curve to a straight piece.

I am running the latest of everything as of an hour or so ago.

Any Ideas anybody?

Thanks

Edit:

It seems to be AutoCart. I took it out but still have the core loaded and it now acts like it used to with a straight track jumping the curve track.

Is boosters and breaks supposed to still work?

Just for the lulz, here's a patch to implement Craftbook-like station mechanics and pressure plate handling. Also contains an impl for isBlockIndirectlyPowered. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/321552/

For some reason when I run either files I get an error:

Window name: Java Virtual Machine Launcher
(windows X image) Failedto load Main-Class manifest attribute from C:\Users\....\Downloads\MinecartManiaCore.jar


Any tips?

I just tried the AutoCart again with the latest files and still have a problem with it changing my track at corner intersections. Also still have a problem with carts running off when I jump out. It was working friday up to about 3am or so.

Edit: also sometimes when I place a cart on the track it takes off.

I'm aware of the corner issue. It will be fixed soon.

Nice! I'll be adding that to the main mod. Thanks for the work!
(PS- I was the one who invented the station mechanic, not CB)

I meant, stations that completely stop the cart while power is off instead of just braking once. Thanks for merging it

MMC v0.6 uploaded. Redstone power now works with most blocks.

MMA v0.43 uploaded. Better in-cart direction detection. Rewritten intersection detection, no longer will give false positives, and mess up track.

The sign stuff will be going into a separate, unreleased plugin, but will be merged, rest assured.

So is there a Station now or how does it work with redstone?

No stations yet. Chests don't work at all, and obsidian launchers will come with the unreleased sign plugin. I am working on it though.

I just loaded the latest versions and am still having problems with the track getting altered. Seems to only be when I am in the cart. I have several rogue cart running all over the place just fine. No trying to catch them is a trick in itself. I guess I will have to break the track in a few places to catch them.

Edit:

Confirmed. Empty carts go through just fine. I just saw one fly by.
Tee's are working correctly turning either south or west.

i discovered last night if you use q to throw something onto the track (i used track pieces lol ) when the cart reaches it it stops

@afforess, what happens when the cart goes out of the present area? does it stop, does it vanish does it comeback?

Yeah - that's a feature of autocart, it's not a bug. It prompts you which direction to go at intersections.

WAiting on the obsidian launchers, love those. I have a player that set his track up the vnilla way with the boosters and everytime he came to a booster it would stop and ask which way he wanted to go lol, so i had to disable autocart.

When a minecart heads into unloaded game chunks, it stops. Notch's design. When the chunk hooks for bukkit are added, I plan on changing it so minecarts load chunks in front of it so they can continue indefinitely.

THIS is a nice design !

In my case, I have had several carts running around by themself. They don't seem to stop unless they hit an end of track. Then if there is already a cart there, it bounces off of it and keeps going. LOL, it is kind of hard to find them. I have a lot of track.

very nice will look forward to that feature

if minecarts activate pleasure plates then hook it up to a dispenser full of blocks

that way the cart comes along hits the presure plate and causes the dispenser to drop a block onto the track...stoping the mine cart

an elegant solution i feel lol

This does not make sense. An empty cart does not alter the track. It goes along just as if I did not have AutoCart running. Is there some reason why a cart that has me in it can't just do the same thing as an empty cart?

I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I love the Plugin and look forward to more things working. I really appreciate your work very much.

As a new MC player, I comepletly over looked it. Then again, I only had the minecartania plugin working for a day before the update came along... Sorry

Thanks for the addon though!
