Bukkit

I heard that from one other person, but they eventually got it working and I never found out what the problem was. There must be some difference between when you guys try to open it and when I open it on my computer. Are you using Linux perhaps? What application are you trying to open it in?

@robotnikthingy

What an interesting idea! How about this:

CollisionExplosion: 4.0

If present in the .craft file, then any time the craft collides with an object, every block that would otherwise collide has an explosion at its location of the magnitude indicated. In this example, a 1 block wide torpedo or missile would have a single explosion of the magnitude of TNT going off. A 4 block wide torpedo would be the same as 4 pieces of TNT going off.

I could even see people making "baka bombs" and "kamikaze" aircraft with the same mechanic. Or if you want a more hardcore server, make it so any collision of any aircraft results in an explosion (and possible sinking). Since in the real world aircraft collisions rarely end well. Imagine a massive warship ramming another as a desperate attempt to bring the enemy down with them. I like it.

I am up against a deadline where I need to get all the changes in by this Friday. But this is small enough I bet I can fit it in.

Cool, glad it worked. Thanks for the edit letting me know what happened.

Interesting error. It looks like an entity was added to the world while the asynch task was running. It looks like this happened when you tried to move the ship. I ran into a similar error with someone else that ended up being that their server was more sensitive to asynch world edits than mine. What server are you running? Are you running any anti-cheating or lag-removing plugins? I ask mostly for my own information for future troubleshooting in case I run into something similar in the future.

I bet the underlying cause is the pistons on that ship. They are all cosmetic, and they cause all kinds of problems due to the messy way Minecraft handles pistons. I saw some weird entities being created in my tests, but I was able to just ignore them most of the time. Try removing all the pistons and see if the problem goes away.

EDIT: I wonder if this could also be caused by firing the main guns while you move. Firing the main guns while moving can have all sorts of bad side effects, not the least of which is blowing all your cannon emplacements sky high >.> I'll put a notice on the schematic site telling people not to fire while moving.

I finished a gameplay video showing a submersible pirate airship ambushing and sinking a corvette. I found some cool music for it, I hope you like it. There is a link to download the schematics for the airships involved beneath the youtube video.

The exact permission it checks is:

movecraft.CraftName.move

For example, if I have a craft type called an Airship, you would need the following permission:

movecraft.Airship.move

Does it work for OPs? If not, some other plugin may be intercepting stick clicks. If so, you can change the PilotTool to something other than a stick.

3.1.36 has finally made it through the approval process. This is a big update, with alot of cool new features to play around with. So I made a video showing how to use the new cruising, fuel burning, and ship sinking. I had also received alot of questions about how to build submarines, so I used a submarine and torpedo attack to demonstrate several of these systems. To skip the boring stuff about building submarines and go right to blowing a ship out of the water with torpedoes, skip to 12:55 in the video:

@comped

It is. In fact I've been thinking of adding more map update threads, but I am undecided. MCstats shows the vast majority of servers running Movecraft have 4 or more logical processors, so I know they could utilize more threads. But I don't see performance as a major concern anymore. If you guys see performance as still being a major concern let me know. For my server we don't seem to have problems except with sinking big ships, and turning big ships. Neither of which happens very often.

EDIT: just realized this changes dramatically once you have the cruise system. Our server has the cruise system, which allows ships to move much faster without updating the map as frequently. So lag becomes less of an issue. You guys should get the new build any day now, which will introduce that among other things.
