Bukkit

how can i deactivate the collision with Players and Mobs in the Defaulttrainproperties.yml?

rcth - yeah, I want this to be configurable. I looove huge config files :P

@lenis0012

+please, fix the long time annoying bugs which cause lost properties and rogue trains after server restart.

This bug dates back several months, was reported multiple times and Bergerkiller partially fixed it but it is still there.

(post reupload)

Can I post here my requests? If yes, there are:
- in locomotive on maneuvers (rmb on minecart with furnace) or train ride (using coal) all works fine. But why there's no brakes? I request 2 types: normal (shift) or sudden (space) - speed modifiers will be configurable in config.yml and braking distance will be addicted to "weight" of train. But one thing: in sudden braking there's chance to break train
- to add next realistic thing - more drama by train collision head-by-head - carts will break as entities, storage minecarts will drop what they contain. Drivers will die if resultant speed is 1.5 and plugin broadcasts "Player was died in train accident" or if player were hit by train plugin broadcasts "Player was hit by train" and player dies (of course train will have configured speed)
- limit of carts in one train in config.yml and speed modifier for each cart
- single minecart will be ignored (small hook for craftbook vehicles please :])
- there is option to connect minecarts. There's chance for disconnect them?
- Cows, pigs, and other mobs will die too when hit by train :P

Cheers from Poland :)

I appreciate that, though I would guess at this point you are at least aware of what I reported. I look forward to an update, let me know if you need to know any more specifics. Thank you.

@lenis0012

Of course not, people have lives and that's understandable. It just isn't great when I post an issue that doesn't even get read first, and then ignored, without a proper response. I wouldn't expect this issue to be fixed right away, but at least to be acknowledged.

Edit: A simple "I'll look into it" would have been fine :<

Almost two days after my two requests for help and only being told by lenis0012 the exact opposite of what i was reporting, and thus receiving zero support, I have concluded that it is Traincarts at fault for my problem.

To be able to break a minecart by attacking it, the node "train.command.properties" is required. Please note that this is supposed to be a command based node.

The poorly documented permissions for Traincarts lists train.command.properties with this description:

    properties:
      *:
        default: true
        description: The player can edit the properties of carts he owns

However, as far as I can tell this node doesn't do that at all. It lets you SEE the properties of your minecarts, and break minecarts. It doesn't let you edit ANY properties of that minecart.

Most importantly, without "train.command.properties" you can't break ANY minecarts, including ones owned by "Everyone".

So to get the correct functionality, I have to "setOwnerOnPlacement: false" and let users have the node "train.command.properties".

Initially I was worried about giving my users that node, because I don't want regular players to be able to change minecart properties. However, the only uses for the node that I can find are the ones I mentioned.

With this information my current problem is solved. However, I'm more angry about the fact that I was essentially ignored in my request. I feel I was very detailed in the information I gave, spending a lot of time over three days to figure out if this was exclusively my problem, or an error in the plugin. I received a 5 second response from a person that doesn't appear to have more than glanced at my comment. I could have posted this as a ticket, but I had hoped to get someone outside of the project to help me instead of possibly wasting the author's time with something I may have messed up. Or, at the very least inform other people about the problem.
