[Mod] Carts [carts]

[TenPlus1]

You mean Boost Carts mod: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=10172

[ABJ]

Yep I asked there and here but have received no response. Sapier has already done it in his monorails mod, but I want that in carts/boost cart. That and a fix to the jumping in boost cart but that I will ask there.

[wappo]

I want to keep moving the empty cart even when player is away doing other. For example, Empty cart do not work very long rails. (not loading map?)


sorry i am not english.

[Krock]

@wappo: This is not possible without force-loading those mapblocks.
Minetest reduces its memory and CPU usage by unloading unused mapblocks/chunks and the carts unload a bit later.

[Samson1]

This is a really good mod, some things need fixing first like 1: You can not pickaxe a minecrart 2: the rails don't do anything as in the powered rails don't have power and nor do the brake rails stop the cart.

Try and copy the monorail modxD

This is not working for me, please help.
First it gave the characters not allowed error, so I changed the folder's name to "carts".
But now it gives me this error-

This Is The Error Thrown By Minetest 0.4.13

Brief Description Of Error-
The init.lua file in the mod throws an error saying- "Attempt to concatenate a nil value"
then its says "in main chunk" "check debug.txt for details"

PLEASE HELP
How To Get This Mod Working?

That's a problem with the mobs mod, try disabling them, they might not work with MT 0.4.13.

i have the same problem and no mobs mod enabled :(

i have the same problem and no mobs mod enabled :(

Is it really the same? What's the error output of Minetest?

[TenPlus1]

This mod hasn't been maintained for 3 years, why not check out boost_cart mod which adds the same cart but with new features:

literally exact same as yours

init.lua 2: attempt to concatenate a nil value

Did you rename the "carts-*" directory to "carts" yet, as described in Naming conventions – read this if “mod doesn't work”?
If it still does not work, update your "builtin" directory that's contained in your Minetest root directory.

For future downloads from a Git page, you may want to use "git-clone". This way you can fetch the new commits instead of re-downloading the complete package.

[tomlukeywood]

It works now thanks i just renamed the mod folder to what was in this line in init.lua:
boost_cart.modpath = minetest.get_modpath("carts")

[BrunoMine]

I noticed that the players assemble concentrates track circuits and put several cars. These carts are walking for ever. This can not be avoided? It seems to be a major failure for servers.

[benrob0329]

I don't think that could be avoided in any mod.

By the way, thus mod isn't being developed anymore, but boost_carts is.

[TenPlus1]

If it helps any I have a version of boost_cart mod on my github page that works well and if a player isn't inside of a cart it will despawn and drop as an item in 10 seconds:

[BrunoMine]

Thanks. boost_carts is good!
I will use on Minemacro Brasil.

[Miss Gummy Gamer]

For some reason, this mod isn't working for me. This is what it says: "ERROR: Failed to enable mod "PilzAdam-Carts-10c4557" as it contains disallowed characters. Only characters [a-z0-9_] are allowed."

So what am I supposed to rename it to? Last time I renamed a mod, everything went horrible and I had to redownload the mod.

[TenPlus1]

Rename to simply: carts then re-enable in mod list.

[Dragonop]

The mod has to be ranamed to "carts" as it says on the topic name [carts]. This applies to all other mods as well.

I'm just going to quickly point out that it is impossible to get carts back into my inventory in the android version.

[benrob0329]

Its not impossible, just hold down the down arrow (as in down a ladder) and punch. I've managed to do a shift jump on Android as well.

Can we please have something in the OP saying that this mod is old, not updated and that everyone should go use boost_carts as it does the same things but with a few added features and runs lighter?

[amadin]

Add message (like in default minetest sign) for player about using sneak+dig to get cart to inventory then he in cart.

[benrob0329]

This mod is no longer being developed, I think you'd have more luck suggesting it on the boot_carts mod page.

[wolf_ram]

Is it possible to destroy cart?

[amadin]

Is it possible to destroy cart?

sneak and click buttons

[wolf_ram]

I'm sorry, but I don't get it. Could you explain it, please?

EDIT

I got it now. SHIFT + left click does the job

[benrob0329]

Can we please move this to old mods and off the front page? It doesn't appear to be developed anymore, and there are two good remakes (boost_carts and railnet) which work much better than the original.
