Thank you for providing complete information, I wish all requests for assistance were as complete! In your case you need to get some .craft files in your types directory. As described in the tutorial, you need to pick which crafts you would like to allow on your server, and place the appropriate .craft files in the types directory. You need at least Airskiff.craft for the test you were running, and you may want to include airship.craft maybe launchtorpedo.craft etc.

On a separate issue, please be aware that your server is being forced into compatibility mode because its not running 1.7.10. It shouldn't be a major problem, but you will have some performance loss. But at least I know that new code that detects server incompatibility and puts it in compatiblity mode works :)

Most likely there is a block in your ship that is not included in your allowedBlocks. The way the system knows which blocks are the ship and which blocks are the surrounding terrain is by matching the blocks it finds against the allowedBlocks. If you are using a recent build, it should tell you the x,y,z coordinates of the block in question. See what block is at those coordinates and, if necessary, add it to your allowedBlocks.

Be aware of the consequences, though. For example, if you have a "grass" block that you want to add to your allowedBlocks, then the next time you land your ship on grass it will try to make that field of grass part of your ship when you pilot it.

Yes, I'm afraid this is due to using the outdated version of the plugin found on this website. You need the newer one that supports the 1.7.9 server. Unfortunately we are still waiting for this site to be updated to the newer code, and I haven't heard from AJCStriker for a while.

I should probably put something in the plugin description redirecting people to the more up to date page, but I keep hoping AJCStriker will come back.

Until then, use the build on this website:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/movecraft-reloaded---loraxe42s-fork/

There is also newer documentation there.

That should work. Just making sure you have the syntax right, the sign should read:

rmove:
0,2,0

If that's what you have and it's still not working, here are some possible reasons:
1 - Movecraft build is too old. I think you need at least 3.1.47
2 - canStaticMove is not set to true in the .craft file (you should also set maxStaticMove)
3 - allowVerticalMovement is set to false in the .craft file
4 - the craft had not been piloted first, or something went wrong with the piloting

If its not any of those, check your server console for errors. I assume movecraft is basically working? IE: you can fly airskiffs around?

@JackzMc

Yes, there is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_d-GVBC4vg

The bit about static move signs starts at 5:11. Sorry about the audio quality, I made this in a hotel. Ok, well that's another vote for altitude control from the command lines :)

I have made a tutorial video showing how you can use Movecraft to set up automated passenger ferries to take players to important locations on your server. If you want to add some role-play atmosphere to your server and/or make it easier for your players to get where they need to go you should check it out:

Very close. The 75.0 is the minimum and the 100.0 is the maximum. For example, lets say you let players run merchant missions on your server for currency. You might limit the number of chests on a ship to represent cargo capacity. A bigger ship can carry more cargo and reap a higher profit. So you might set:

54:
  - 0.0
  - 1.0

in your flyblocks. This setting means that chests must be at least 0.0% of the blocks of a ship, and can be at most 1.0% of the blocks of the ship. So a small 1000 block ship can only have 10 chests. This is what we use on my server (but its airships, not surface ships). So if you want to make the big bucks running merchant cargo, you have to build a big airship.

@ariodsenuke

Sure, no problem. To anyone else having a similar issue trying to figure out how to use the new features, I highly recommend you look at the updated and reorganized documentation here:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/movecraft-reloaded---loraxe42s-fork/

Until AJCStriker's return, that page will also have the newest builds. For your specific issue, as described on that page under "The .craft format", you need to put the multiple blocks in brackets.

I believe you want:
[35,42]:
 - 75.0
 - 100.0

Note the brackets and the colon.

@Epic_Weasel

Check your server console for errors. A common problem is not using the server version that your movecraft build was optimized for without setting compatibilityMode: true in your config.yml. Verify by checking for errors containing the text "NoClassDefFound" on your server console.

To find a build that is optimized for 1.7.9, and has lots of bug fixes and new features as well as updated documentation, download the build here:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/movecraft-reloaded---loraxe42s-fork/

The build on this site is very out of date. We are waiting for AJCStriker to merge the new changes, and I haven't heard from him for over a month. If anyone knows how to contact him, please let me know.

Until then, please use the link above. Be aware the downloads on that site have not been checked by the dev.bukkit.org staff.
