TrainCarts Development has moved to SpigotMC.

This page is no longer being actively monitored, please seek for support on SpigotMC.

Plugin: TrainCarts - Linked Minecarts, sign-redstone systems, easy to use and realistic

Version: v1.73.0

Build: 1.7.2 R0.1/R0.2

Incompatible with: RailCraft

Description

This plugin looks for suitable Minecarts and links them together if possible. When two Minecarts are being "linked", the Minecarts will act as one single moving train.

Once carts are successfully linked, an effect is played and their velocity is shared in combination with an individual factor for each Minecart, which is used to remain a steady gap between carts. This gap is adjustable, the force at which this happens as well.

End result: a train! You can move it, make a roller-coaster out of it, split it in half, watch trains collide, whatever you want to do with trains. :)

As for 1.21, it is also possible to safely exit your train by setting an exit offset with a (sideways) push factor for the train. This feature is disabled by default. (only affects dropped items). If you want to display arrival times on signs (see redstone circuit part) you need SignLink, see the downloads on the bottom of the page.

As for 1.35 you can set train properties to make 'special' trains, or to 'finalize' a train

Push-away: Push mobs, players and items away from your trains to keep them running
Everything is configurable, if something proves not to be, I will make it that way

FAQ

When players are near, trains reach their destinations. With no one near, they don't. What do I do?

By default trains do not keep chunks loaded, and they will unload once they move into unloaded chunks. To make trains keep the chunk area (and themselves) around them loaded, set the 'keepchunksloaded' property to True. This can be done using the /train keepchunksloaded true command, using a property sign or by changing it to true in the DefaultTrainProperties.yml file. For more information about train properties, see here.

Why not boats?!?!

Incompatibilities

If you have another plugin that performs similar Minecart replacement techniques, it is likely that TrainCarts will not function or function poorly. For the 'chunk persistence' part of this plugin, other plugins that unload chunks without firing events result in this feature failing. Minebackup is known for having this problem.

Metrics

This plugin sends server count statistics to MCStats.org. You can (globally) opt out in the PluginMetrics/config.yml file.

Lenis0012: we are still having issues with "Keepchunksloaded" not functioning and we are getting "CoCurrentModification" errors @ the console.

Let me know if you are available and can hope onto #SpoutDev, I can give you pastie links.

Hello,

First time user on Traincarts, and while experimenting i found that the detector sign was acting up when using the "i@wood" statement. exact sign:

[train]

detector

i@wood

It threw nullpointers in the console, (even if i somehow got the command wrong, it shouldn't :) ) pasteo of the console log can be found here: http://pastebin.com/F3PzyqpV

EDIT: had it reproduced on another server, so filed it as a proper ticket.

Hello,

Lens,

Today I installed the latest 1.4.6 dev.bukkit provided builds of TrainCarts v1.72.3 and BKCommonLib v1.42, and dropped entirely the old "Train Carts" folder from plugins to start it all plain blank and with the default settings.

The bug with server restart causing stalled minecarts and group lost properties is still there :(

It look like, as the server restart, the plugin cannot deal with unloaded chunks containing minecarts from groups data saved at server stop.

Here you can see I had train (groups) named "tram#" who where composed of "mmm" each and train groups named "vert#" composed of "pmmmmmp"/

The server restart logs show how it fails to retrieve the minecarts from the corresponding groups, despite all the data files are new, never externally edited (answering the plugin question), and the server was properly shut-down.

hi guys,

I have a similar problem, even with moving trains. I have a long train driving an outer circle at the back of a huge "warehouse" (chest in). While the train is IN my chunk everything is fine. The moment the train is leaving my chunk the framerate is falling near 0. The warehouse is mostly not visited so it isnt a big problem for me, now. But its boring. The problem is reproduceble if someone needs to see it. ;-)

Regards

I can confirm that we see exactly the same behaviour, as of two latest releases. When an empty cart arrives at a station, it is often stopping already before the station block and slowly crawling towards the right block. Sometimes it almost stops, then leaps forward to the block, so this seems to be related to lag caused by the implementation, not intentional.

Well, that sort of explains it all I think ;)

I think the Vault dependency should be in the opening message.

From this file I gain permission nodes because it's the only place that I can find them.

Well it could be, since most of the commands you want your players to be able to use are defaulted to true in plugin's config. See PermissionDefaults.yml for a reference.

Without these permissions plugin works only for op. Maybe it's a problem that I don't have vault because it's useless for me.

Well, we do not define any traincarts.* nodes to our players at all, since all the usual nodes related to train handling are set to "true" by default in the plugin's config.

I'd suggest you to delete all TrainCarts related nodes from your normal players and see if they still can do what you want them to. As I said, it is working just fine for us.

EDIT: Don't know about the commands, though. Our players do not use any of those. Have to test with them tonight.

Wow, now it works. I don't know what is broken before but after massive count of restarts it's now working. But - what I must delete from here? I will that players can create trains and administrate them and have ability to break other trains (not owned). But I won't give them admins commands/abilities.

Well we've never had any problems like yours on our server & TrainCarts. Ever. So it must be something wrong with the permissions you've set up. Can you pastebin your permissions file?

I wait for this impatiently. My users complain that they don't have any way to travel because they cannot place or destroy minecarts.

"you can control"
Nope, I can't control as player. As Admin ofc.
I completely misunderstand the permissions.
