[MECH] PlgRailBoost v2.0 - make powered rails boost much more [1.4]

That seems helpful

Awesome, the amount it costs to create those things is just way too much for the boost it gives you.

Would it be possible to change the boost value to slightly less? The idea of one booster track to go around the world seems a little overkill to me.

It's not THAT much, but I think I'll create some sort of config file for this today...

The boost is now configurable.

(tagging @lipe123 )

sweet dude, good job. works great.

Now I just need to figure out why im taking random fall/squish damage from going around bends or declines...

I thought bumping into objects in bends was fixed in 1.6, apparently not all of it.

Does the plugin boost the minecarts to more than 8 m/s or do I understood it wrong?
A boost to more than 8 m/s wouldn't go amiss because in my MP is a 1 km railway...

No, 8m/s is the maximum speed, but I increase the momentum, so the speed does not diminish after ~30 tiles, but continues for much more.

Any idea how to change the max speed of minecarts on powered rail?

I tried playing with your plugin source and setMaxSpeed() with onVehicleMove and onVehicleUpdate but couldn't get the minecart to speed up. I couldn't get onVehicleUpdate to trigger for the minecart for whatever reason.

The value of getMaxSpeed() kept resetting every time I moved to another piece of powered rail (I kept calling setMaxSpeed every time it entered powered rail), however, the minecart didn't seem to go any faster.

set/getMaxSpeed() change the momentum, that's what I use, so I don't think it's easily doable via bukkit API, I think you'd have to use craftbukkit obfuscated functions for that.

lol my server crash when im using max value

I never actually tested that high a value

Does it continue/increase momentum when going up an incline? seems to cancel its effect when going up

It doesn't increase momentum if not on a powered rail. This just makes the powered rail block boost like hell, that's all.

So, if i put down 3 powered rails, then regular rails, it wont keep it's momentum? I'm a bit confused.

The momentum behaves exactly the same like when you have no plugin. Powered rail increases the momentum, without it the momentum is lost over time.
The only thing this plugin does is that powered rail does not give 16 momentum, but 1000 momentum (those numbers are just guesses, but the ratio is like that).

Yes, so it's supposed to last longer when you're off the powered rail, right?

yes that's right

Okay thats what i wanted to do. When i create a file to modify it, should it just be a plain text file? It said it was invalid when i tried it.

doesn't matter what it is, it just has to be named like number, like "122"

hi,
i didn't understand how to config the Boostpower.
i have to create a file a .txt file and i rename it e.g. 32
and i put the file in the plugin folder am i right????

Basically yes. Create a file called "32". If on windows you don't know how then create a .txt file and rename it, but watch out for windows hiding extensions by default.

called PlgRailBoost?

Code:

plugins/PlgRailBoost/32

so the file is calle 32.txt and is in the plugins folder but in the console
"32.txt is not a valid configuration file nam for PlgRailBoost!
and what is the max speed number?
sorry if i'm annoying you but i'm a newb in these things

who ever said anything about .txt in the name? get rid of it

oh thanks for waisting your time

Hey its been a while since we talked....... Ummm What have i messed up on here?

import java.util.Scanner;

class java{
public static void main (String agrgs[])(
Scanner java = new Scanner (System.in);
double fnum, snum, answer;
System.out.print1n("Enter first num: ");
fnum = java.nextDouble();
System.out.print1n("Enter second num: ");
snum = java.nextDouble();
answer= fnum + snum;
System.out.println(answer);
}
}
and what do i run it as?
