So, first off I think you meant "movecraft.airskiff.rotate", not "movecraft.airskiff.remote". I don't know if that is a typo or really what you set it to.

Secondly, you say they are trying to pilot a "ship"? Do you literally mean a sailing vessel? Because the permissions you listed only gave access to Airskiffs (small flying crafts), not ships or any other vehicle.

What permissions plugin are you using? If it's PermissionsEx, you could grant movecraft.ship.* to give full access to ships. Or you could grant movecraft.* to grant access to any movecraft type you have installed on the server.

You can use the server command /reload, there is no Movecraft specific reload.

Ok, the new version has been posted here:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/movecraft-reloaded---loraxe42s-fork/

This has several important new features, including:
- Worldguard integration
- A warning when releasing a craft in an unsafe landing site
- A /manoverboard command to return to a craft if you fall out of it
- Light pollution cleaning, although its cleaned server side so you don't see it until you reload chunks or leave an area and return to it
- Important bug fixes

To see a video talking about these features, go here:

Please note this download has not been checked by the dev.bukkit.org staff, I'll submit the new build through AJCStriker so it can be updated on this website.

Actually that is the preferred method of steering a ship, via the [helm] sign, which is just like the wheel sign. I would recommend checking out the tutorial: http://youtu.be/8dVEul7hG78

In fact, it is possible to almost directly duplicate the control method of Ships. You can disable the pilot stick by setting the pilot tool setting in config.yml to 9999 or something else that doesn't exist. Then you can use Rmove signs to replace the Move and Altitude signs, and a Cruise: off sign to replace the E.O.T. sign. Adjust your .craft's speed and cruiseskipblocks. I believe Ships moved every 4 seconds at 10 blocks a time? It has been a long while since I used it. If thats correct, set your speed to 0.25 and cruiseskipblocks to 9.

@bltwithtommy

That sounds good, and would probably be reasonably easy to add. I'll have to look at that.

As an update on the development process, the following blocks were previously not support on crafts, but now are:

1. - hoppers
2. - droppers
3. - trappedchests
4. - commandblocks
   Also, I have finally been able to fix the bizarre lighting issues that have plagued Movecraft since the beginning. I'm talking about the "light polution" where it leaves disembodied light sources behind crafts as they move. However, I have only been able to fix it in compatibilityMode. I'm not sure how to fix it in native mode. If anyone knows more about how to adjust lighting I would very much appreciate any input.

@Malachi21

Sounds good. Make sure you watch the tutorial, its very helpful in understanding how everything works. Otherwise you may find yourself a little bewildered because of the wide variety of configuration options.

So, as a developer on this project I'm sure I'm biased.

However, that being said, I would have to say I think Movecraft has numerous significant advantages over Autocraft. Here are what I feel its primary advantages are:

1 - More flexible craft types - you can make submarines, airships, cars, surface ships, submersible ships, you name it and you can probably make it.
2 - Higher speed block updates - you can have much larger ships without bogging down your server as much
3 - Redstone support - I can have a button that fires all the cannons on my ship. I can have a lever that changes the range of my primary guns. If you prefer more simple basic cannons, use the Cannons plugin which works with Movecraft. But if you want, you can have some very advanced weapons systems using redstone mechanics. This for instance: http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/working-air-warship---destroyer-mk-ii-with-advanced-armor-and-extended-range-cannons/
4 - Customizable sinking behavior - Damage can cause fighters to fall smoking from the sky and explode leaving a crater when they hit the ground. Ships can sink through the waves and settle in a shipwreck on the ocean floor, and everything in between.
5 - Various methods of craft control - In autocraft you have to use typed commands. In Movecraft you can control a craft through either typed commands, using only command signs, or using direct control where you control the craft using the movement keys.

There is probably more, but that's what I can think off at the moment. I would encourage you to watch some of the videos on youtube that go over everything you can do with Movecraft, its really quite impressive.

http://www.youtube.com/user/BaccaYarro has lots of Movecraft related videos

There is now a version of Movecraft for 1.7.10 available here:

Also, I have added the ability for the plugin to automatically detect when compatibilityMode is necessary, and turn it on. So hopefully there will be fewer requests for assistance due to incompatibilities.

@minediger135908

Yes, you most likely have an outdated build and are trying to use a newer server version without setting compatibilityMode: true in the config.yml. I would recommend using the newer build of Movecraft available here:


http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/movecraft-reloaded---loraxe42s-fork/


That site also has updated documentation. The version on this website is very out of date. Unfortunately I have not heard from the person who manages this page for some time. Until they return and get the code merged back in, please use the link above to get Movecraft builds.
