heres a buggy not-finished proof of concept for minecarts. the pushable blocks mod (Original thread here) Updated for latest dev version. they even go up the incline rail types!

Someone should figure out how to make them better (stop the jittering). and how to aim a cart in the direction of travel.

This will sound odd, but can you by chance get these to follow a ladder?

And it TOOK that long?

No I've had the ram just no way to connect the server to the Internet.

Can someone tell me how to install mods plz!!!

(I know about the extracting into the folder and everything
It's just that I can't get It in there extracting or not!)

what version of minetest do you have?

Posted: **Fri Apr 13, 2012 21:23**

I have 2 versions.

0.4 dev(Latest) and 0.3.1(Latest stable)

Posted: **Fri Apr 13, 2012 21:28**

ok, you can't mod 0.3.1.
To install a mod in 0.4, extract it, and copy the directory to /usr/local/share/minetest/games/minetest_game/mods
I'm assuming you compiled it from GIT, right?

Do you mean user by my username?

Posted: **Fri Apr 13, 2012 21:33**

what OS are you using?

Posted: **Fri Apr 13, 2012 21:40**

Although you've asked me this it's Windows 7 32 bit

Posted: **Fri Apr 13, 2012 22:35**

ok, I'm clueless to helping you, as I don't have windows...

It was less a question off possibility and more of a question of ability towards producing a working product. Elevators would be achieved should this be carried through.

Well, what about vertical rails?

Sorry, I think you're over thinking what I'm saying: I was asking j4i to basically add the ability in his code if it was possible while he was at it. He'd hit a milestone and finish out a mod request I've put out there recently.

Very nice, but I think it would be better if mining the cart put it back in your inventory instead of breaking it.

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2012 03:20**

breaking it?

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2012 03:37**

When I tried to recover one that went off the rails, it just disappeared instead of going into my inventory or turning into a floating item.

Posted: **Sat Apr 14, 2012 03:40**

that's weird... I'll see about that

I created a patch :)

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: Patch created by kddekadenz (14th of April,2012) - licensed as CC0 -> changed digging groups to new ones -> player will get the minecart, when he rightclick it a 2nd time -> textures of the minecart are now textures of the moveblock node -> changed minecart textures -> changed booster & slider textures
