[INACTIVE][MECH] GoKart v0.2.4 - puts an engine into your minecart [1.2.4-R0.1]

GoKart - turns your minecart into a go-kart:
Version: v0.2.4

This very basic plugin puts an engine into your minecart so you won't need boosters anymore.
Now supporting Permissions!

I'm quite busy right now so any updates (still not sure if there will be any) could actually take a while. Haven't had the time to test with a RB > 677 but it has been reported to be working up to the current RB 766.

Updated for 1.2.4 R0.1, don't know how long it'll last, no functions added, just adapted to the api changes. Can't put the source on github atm, throw me a line and i'll upload the source as zip if needed.

Usage:
Of course it only works if you're in a minecart

• /gokart or /gk - starts the engine and off you go
• /stopkart or /sk - stops the engine and halts the minecart instantly

Features:

• accelerates your minecart and keeps it going
• yes, that was all it does.

Download:
Most recent version: GoKart.jar
All versions at my site

Source:
GoKart @ github

Installation:
Put the GoKart.jar into your plugins directory.
The following Permissions nodes are available:

• gokart.use - allows the player to use GoKart

ToDo:

• configuration and translation support
• let the cart run over mobs and players instead of crashing into them
• rightclick-control for start and stop (thx to @vildaberper )
• announce the commands to the player when he enters a minecart (thx to @Rhuen )
• enable the gokart to work as a locomotive for other carts (for easier transport etc) (also thx to @Rhuen )

Changelog:
Complete changelog can be found in the CHANGELOG file at GitHub

I would be nice to have some kind of multistation management like NextStation

 

@Goliathe actually I wanted to keep the plugin very basic. Not much overhead and such, you know. Is there a reason why you don't use NextStation?

 

DeutscheBahn.jar and no Minecart is coming !

 

What?

 

DB for the "nextstation" plugin .

"Die bahn bietet immer mehr Fahrzeit als einem eigentlich zusteht"

 

No reasons
Anyway, thank you very muck mrchick for this cool plug !

 

Well I could try to create a plugin for this stations stuff that uses GoKart. But right now I don't promise anything, got other stuff to do. I'll let you know when I'll take a go at it

 

Version 0.2.3 requires CraftBukkit > 620, so use RB670!

 

Nice work.

Please make a function, what is, that a Block like Gravel under the Rails stop the Cart and the startagain with a click in the direction you wanna drive.

This would be awesome

 

You might want to take a look at MinecartMania.
Despite of that, I'm not sure if I'll keep this plugin alive since for 1.5 powered rails are announced. But we'll se how that develops.

 

hey man i love you plugin i made a minecart station and the people on my server love it there still playing with it XD
ty bro

 

Thanks for a great and simple plugin. I love it. Right click start and stop would be nice.
Keep up the great work!

 

Thank you, so very much, for this awesome plugin.

 

Hey How do i grant permission..?

 

The Permissions node is mentioned in the original post, on how to set up the Permissions plugin take a look at the Permissions plugin thread.

 

Hey, would you like a mirror? I've got a server if you want it.

 

Not necessary, but thanks for the offer

 

So I need the Permission plugin To use this?

 

No. If you don't have Permissions plugin everyone on your server can use it.
If you do have Permissions plugin, you have to give the players that should be allowed to use this plugin the gokart.use permission.

 

Hi, I haven't actually been able to test this yet. I keep getting errors...here is the error

 

Your CraftBukkit is outdated. I would suggest you update it since the newer recommended builds fixed lots of exploits.
If you have a good reason to keep an old CB running (laziness doesn't count) then let me know and I'll compile you a version without VEHICLE_DESTROY.

 

Ya I did upgrade but for some reason I guess it never applied. Thanks to redoing the server I have been able to test your plugin and it is simply perfect!

 

that has no affect it works normal so no need he can play with tge err

 

Stupid idea of the day :

When a minecart that can run outside of tracks ? ie fast on stone highways, slower on cobblestone roads, and much slower on dirt/sand
put an engine... and steering wheels !

'need a mineCAR for my world

 

Thnx to powered Rails Ur plugin is pointless : )

 

Not really. /sk can get to and from and guide you into your booster rail systems. If anything it makes booster rails pointless ha!

This is great thanks! Love the easy and short gk and sk commands.
This things storms up my mineshafts with ease. Combined with the new rails 1.5bETA it makes Minecart Mania almost obsolete imo.

 

Considered inactive.

 

it is a very great plugin.
thanks for it
how can i drive faster? what i must change, because it is to slowly for my long route?

 

I know it's inactive but thought I would jump in and say it still working great with R1550

 

Really? Love to hear that
