[Mod] Carts [carts]

[Mito551]

Can ya add powered copper rails? Maybe not a lot of job to do, but will looks nice when i connect powered to the copper ones ;)

Hmm... dunno.

how about having separate file like powrails.lua with power rails and leaving everything else default carts? do you get the idea?

[rarkenin]

I think that since we;re not depending on mesecons, the recipes in Github should also be changed so it uses MESE added to rails for power, another steel ingot for braking. Also, since we now don't require mesecons, we should add it to default.

Entities are still not handled by Minetest as effectively as they need to be. I don't think Minetest default is ready for something that depends on entities as much as carts.

Hey Pilzadam, can you take the textures from the privious version for brake rail and make them a detector rail, also it would be helpful if you remade those wood switch things, and the reason I ask this of you is because it has many plausible potential applications in the game.

P. S. How do you add a graphic to your profile?

End of line.

Yeah, and punchable brake rails.

[BZab]

Yeah - detector will be usefull -> Using microcontrollers and mesecons i can make auto-breaking for cart ;)
Switchers? May be usefull but they aren't needful

[RabbiBob]

Pilz - Awesome job. Spent an hour with my seven year old son just laying down tracks between various spots in our world and getting transportation up and running. This really added something back to the game for us. +100

[Chinchow]

It only moves when i punch it when i am not in it is this normal?

[VanessaE]

This is the normal behavior. Depending on your version of the mod, you must place a mesecons circuit next to a rail and turn it on (or use a power plant or torch next to the rail), or use a powered rail to keep them moving.

I keep a slightly older copy of this mod on my server because it responds to mesecons signals; unless I missed something, updating would break at least a few complex structures.

If I want to implement your mod I get an error:

ModError: Failed to load an run D:\Eigene Dateien\Meine Spiele\minetest-0.4.4-win32\bin\..\mods\minetest\PilzAdam-carts-39d9c51\init.lua

I'm using the 32-bit version of Windows 7
I have the same problem with other mods like the snowbiom mod or the TNT mod, however the noncubic mod or the mesecon mod do not cause problems.

Rename the mod-folder-name:
PilzAdam-carts-39d9c51 --> carts

So, remove the name of the author and the serialnumbers.

This also works for other mods.

When in doubt of a name, check it in the init.lua or in the textures folder --> It's the one before the : or before the _

Edit: Also don't use uppercases/capitalixations (so not Carts, but carts)

also the name in the brackets is what you use to name it [Mod] Carts [carts]

[Dynazor]

Ok it works :D
thanks

Yea. Only powered rails acccelerate the cart when mesecon signal is given to them, not the default rail anymore.
And I am planning to make the powered/break rails always accelerate/stop the cart if mesecons isnt installed.

Dunno about the textures.
And I will code the railroad switch when I am up to it. Currently you can use pistons.

[VoidLord]

Thanks PilzAdam!
By the way, the texture I was talking about is like the red rail thing from the old carts download, but it looks like the red strip is on the inside of the rails, like how the accelerator rail has the yellow strips and the brake rail has the black strips in the current version.

[Mito551]

excuse me, got a problem. after installing moretrees and latest git build i can't place carts. any help?

[musicfreak34]

Nice mod PilzAdam I builded a big rollercoaster with it but now is my problem:

How to connect the rails wit the mescon?

Maybe someone can post a screen pls

[BZab]

Put mesecon near powered/brake rail all whats to do... - near -> one block left/right and one down ;)

I just noticed that there arent any crafting recipes for power/brake rails currently. Will fix it soon.

[Likwid H-Craft]

Oh and I thinking can I add my own model?

[babe223]

Sorry for not answering you the first time you asked.
You can place carts only on rails. If you have any mod installed that overrides the default rails be sure that it contains the "rail" group.

[PilzAdam]

Update!
The texture names for power- and brake rail are changed.
If mesecon mod isnt installed when placing a power- or brakerail they will always work without a mesecon signal.
Crafting for power- and brakerail added:
Powerrail:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

steel  mese_crystal_fragment  steel
steel        stick            steel
steel                         steel


Brakerail:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

steel  coal  steel
steel  stick steel
steel        steel

oh, thanks!

[BrandonReese]

Could we make elevators using some of the same principals as carts? It would basically be a cart that only moves along the Y axis straight up and down.

[trukoil]

Adam, a suggestion for switches: a left/right switch powered by mesecon, where the input is 0 the switch go left, otherwise the switch'll go right; a left/right/straight switch powered by dataline mesecon, where straight would be a value of 2, for example.
