Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Version 1.3

• napalm (by default) now requires 1 slime, 1 lava bucket, and 1 diamond block to fire
• napalm can now penetrate water and 1 single obsidian (similiar to torpedoes)
• made less calculations being done for torpedoes/napalm leading to less stress on the server.

Version 1.1

• added napalm
  • /ac napalm
  • /ac n
  • config variables:
    • dropnapalm=true/false
    • cooldowntimeNAPALM=x

Version 1.0

Version 0.9

• Fixed an important bug created from the last update, where it moved the pilot of the ship twice for all movement based commands.

Version 0.8

• I fixed the server crash with ship turning. It was actually an endless loop being made (oops).

Version 0.7

• I pulled aircraft turning, as they crashed the server at times. Turning will be back when I figure out what is crashing (There are no errors)

Version 0.5

• I fixed a possible area where memory leaks /could/ occur
• I put all the torpedoes fired in one single timer, so even less calculations are done

• If you fly into a structure of your ships type, your ship can become welded to the structure.

Credits

• Sycoprime - for porting the Movecraft plugin to bukkit for which gave me the inspiration to make this plugin. I also referenced your cardinalDirection arraylist to help with rotations.
• GarretSidzaka - for showing me movecraft, giving me the idea to make my own plugin similar to movecraft, and supplying me with ideas on how to make my plugin act
• KoryuObihiro - for helping me figure out the getData() method and how to spawn TNT entities into the world.

Additional Details:

• This plugin was started on July 28th 2011, at 7:32 PM
• TNT cannons require AT LEAST 4 TNT in a dispenser.
• TNT drop cannons require AT LEAST 2 TNT in a dispenser
• cannon length means the amount of iron blocks you can place behind a diepsnser (the more iron blocks, the farther the TNT will go)
• this plugin comes stocked with 5 different ship types

It'd be appreciated

 

i have a problem where pistons loose their orientation when the ship flies, anyone else having this issue?

 

pistons dont work with the plugin as it is currently built

 

k thanks, any eta on a fix?

 

unfortunately im just a lowly player/server admin so i cant fix anything, but i would love pistons in my ships

 

probably wont be fixed.

 

sad face, well i guess no pistons for me, well any idea on when the new version will be out

 

It's been uploaded, for awhile

 

so i guess i just couldnt find it.... its been a long few weeks, but have to go out and say it this is by far the best plugin i have ever used

ok so now im super lost, the most recent thing i can find is 1.4 and thats from december 9th, but my machine here is telling me i am running 1.3 however i downloaded the 1.4, am i just grabbing the wrong file?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

~Fixed a duping bug (several of them).
~Changed the timers from Async to Sync.

 

This is an awesome plug in!
Some things you could do to make this plug in so much better:
-Sign Operation, It'll make this mod THAT much better. Seriously number one on the list of things to add. I know you said previously that you dislike them, but please reconsider.
-For some reason, when I fly with a chest on my ship, the items spew out every time I move.
-If you fixed pistons that would be great although not the biggest thing.

 

Chests, I believe cause a lot off issues both with my plugin, and with Movecraft.
Add the chest block to the list of allowed blocks, and see if your items still spew out everywhere ;p

(The reason I took it off, by default, is that it causes clients to crash [having chests recreated/deleted on moving]).​

 

i got the new update and damn is it fast, however i have found a problem. snow is a massive issue and most of my ships arent working anymore at all

 

When there's snow stuck to an actual plane, it can't take off

 

yea but a zeppelin can sure do it lol. ok so i put snow in the list and it was flying just fine, its just the new one isnt working, its rather odd

 

There seems to be an issue with turning. Not sure if its just me. But turning the ship left, right, and 180 degrees only turns the player but not the ship after that last update.

 

I'll see if I can fix that

 

Edit: Rotation issue, realized someone already posted about it

 

I have reviewed this plugin and i really enjoy it. I have an idea about starting a new server using airships.
May i suggest an addition?
It would be awesome to be able to take control with signs or fire with signs.
I understand you stated that you dont like doing this but it is much faster and more user friendly than typing or using a macro.
This is my reasoning: Most of the population that uses minecraft are minors (sub 18 year olds) and most of them do not know how to use macros or have the ability or permission to use macros from their parents. I understand there are exceptions and if youre reading this, youre probably the exception.

Please consider implimenting signs to take control and another sign to fire
thanks!

 

Great mod and only way to make ships since movecraft is so buggy, but why do doors vanish every time i move the ship? I tried adding them to the allowed list but that doesn't change it. Same goes for redpower wires and the states of levers are reset after moving too.

Oh and how would i make a submarine with this?

 

I made a ship (about as large as the plane in the torpedo tutorial video)
Everytime I right click with item in hand, it lags like 5 seconds before the ship moves in that direction.
(Its a small Hamachi server I own btw)

What influences lag for autocraft? Internet connection? Computer Specs? RAM allocated to server?
My computer is a gaming comp so I doubt its the specs.
I use College internet so connection might be the issue. I allocated 2GB to the server so is that enough?

 

Ronar1
1. Don't use Hamachi.
2. Post computer specs.
3. Post connection speed.
4. 2GB enough for? (Plugins, players)

 

lol Hamachi worked fine for awhile. Small flat "magic carpet" type ships work fine, its once the ships have a hull that it starts to get slower.

My comp:
Win7
Quad Core i7
8 GB

I allocated 4 GB to server and still an issue

Connection speed (tested with speedtest.net):
Upload speed is like 5
Download is like 15

When I was testing this plugin no one else was on

 

hi i have the same problem as slashvalintino, i have downloaded autocraft 1.4 and on the log of my server it's the 1.3 version !! where can i dowload the 1.4 version please?

 

When will this be updated? Still waiting for the 1.1 R3 release....

 

It's been updated. For quite some time now.

the download link on the main post. I'm too lazy to change the version name.

 

Awesome Plugin!
I was wondering if you could tell me a way to build bigger ships then 4000 Blocks.
The max size of Dreadnought was set to 6669 Blocks, but when I "/ac pilot dreadnought" and "/ac info", the info says there are 4000/6669 blocks but the ship is larger then 4000 blocks... when i try to move the ship, i get the "obstructed" error... (just used up to 8 diffrent blocks and all are allowed by default also no obstructing diagonal blocks)

I use the spoutcraft client...

greetz,
Segnon_

 

I don't allow over 4,000 blocks for a reason, at the moment, it can take up to 15 seconds to pilot a ship with that amount of blocks

 

Thought so, but is there a way to modify the classfiles or something ? : D
I rly want to see that airbase fly xD

 

So with fixing Autocraft's block movement, this can also create some issues with either concurrent modification exceptions, or Synchronized code errors. To prevent these, I created a plugin called SafeEdit (it's included in the Autocraft zip file) You will need that in your plugins folder as well. It makes it so I can safely modify blocks in the world without throwing concurrent Modification Errors in the console :3

 

Is it just me or does it seems that ships could fly higher in movecraft? Is there any way to allow ships to fly higher? Awesome mod by the way
