It wasn't that hard to do. I wound up disabling normal furnaces and left automated stuff as a replacement. Now if only I could get automated pickup of the output...

by **RealBadAngel** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 01:27

print("Could not insert '"..cooked.item.."'")

remove this line from furnaces code. its a bug. when filled whole inventory will cause crash, and world will be unusable.
or at least remove ..cooked.item..

I tried this & it works! thank's PilzAdam you make great mods i find them very cool! Also an way to ride the cart is to stand on it but it's very glitchy. When will we be able to ride the carts?

There need to be some new functions for the lua api. So it depends on the engine developers.

Yeah... It'd be nice if you could just tap the 'mine' button, teleport in, press the 'place' button, and ride. 4 walls, a floor, and all moving, pushing/pulling the player around.... that'd be nice.

One day, maybe. n.n Tho I've never looked at the code to this game, and my C++ is VERY rusty atm... Maybe I should study again?

Great mod! Can you make it compatible with copper rail from MoreOres mod?

Yes I will do it (see GitHub).

Hello,

when the cart is not moving its sound is played in a loop.
Even If I move very far away from the rails.
I think this happened after logging out while a cart was moving.
Logging out and back in again does not change a thing.

Wich version of minetest do you use? This can be a bug in the sound api of the engine.

by **Phitherek_** » Mon Aug 27, 2012 23:27

I found one more bug. It may be due to lags, but the carts replicate themselves out of nothing :D.

Uh, one more bug, quite serious and annoying. It is with meseconrails (cart detectors). Firstly, they do not connect to other rails, so sometimes it is really hard to make a detector. What is more, a turned on meseconrail does NOT connect with turned off meseconrail, which causes real problems even if you try to kind of setup the rails to match the normal ones.

This are only texture bugs. It has no effect on the cart.
Anyway I cant do anything about it because the engine (Minetest) dont accept raillike drawtypes with different rails.

After restart of the server the looping sound went away. I try to reproduce it again and will keep you posted.

by **Phitherek_** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 21:00

sysedit: The restart of the server generally fixes most of the problems with lags, hanging and chunks not loading. It seems to me that you just had some lag or hang that caused it.

What if, punching minecarts gives them some velocity, but then they slow down and stop? Maybe, crafting a rail with a mesecon can make a track that gives a moving cart velocity, and when off it makes the cart slow down...?
That would be radical,...

I was thinking of a more realistic behavior. I will make it when I have the time for it.

Update what? There is no "good" way to implement carts in lua. It has to be done in c++.

Thanks, I modded it so that copper rails went faster and love it, eccept for the player has no free abilty to look where going.

by **DrB** » Mon Oct 01, 2012 19:22

nutz the carts kinda stop when out of site for me... dont know if i need a power generator beside the rail, etc... would be nice if the rail chest would auto load into a furnace, then i could mine and log trees through them into the cart and send it back to the furnace to run, LOL

by **Temperest** » Mon Oct 01, 2012 19:51

Carts do not work if they move into an unloaded chunk. There is nothing that can be done about this outside of adding fake players to stand at designated positions, or increasing the chunk load distance in your minetest.conf configuration file.

Hmmm, i don't have a chunk setting, BUT, i do know what you mean (and do know how to add it)

Ok only thing i could find about distance is...

max_block_send_distance = 20
max_block_generate_distance = 14

so i added those, but the question i have is, is there a way to use mesecons to run power to the rails so they will continously run?

by **Temperest** » Wed Oct 03, 2012 19:29

You can probably just run a long Mesecons wire (uninsulated) beside the track to power the entire railway.

Players are objects...
The problem is that you cant handle them like Lua-entities.
