OK found the crashing bug...

Problem was in the craft detection, in order:

1) Find a list of valid blocks and their IDs
2) One by one, create the craftentity, destroy the block
3) Try to render the ship based on the first list

Torches were breaking off when the block below it got converted, so then the block was air. When the game went to render the air block, it died.


Just fixing a similar issue with craft rejoining the world, and hopefully I can get 1.7.3.0.2 out tonight....

Color me impressed. I was wondering when someone would finally figure out how to do this. I've been waiting for this kind of mod!

Although, that ModloaderMP dependency is a little eh. When will that be removed?

Beuno!

[gamalipi]

nice mod! it would be a great idea to use this mod to craft and sail a ship that does not fly, just for ocean exploration!

As of 1.7.3.0.1, the limit is 512. I am bumping it to 1024 for 1.7.3.0.2, and after that I plan to make it a config option (not sure when that will be, soonish). Then you can increase as far as your computer will let you go.

I shat myself when i saw this great job dude amazing, should probably make it so that it remembers the items in a chest when the chest is taken along for a ride.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how can I change the block ID for the controller block?

HALP!!!! I installed the mod properly but when i rightclick the block nothing happens.

left click the block to register your aircraft and press + to move up, - to move down, 8 4 2 6 as directional pads

another note: is it possible to make it so that your character does not move when turning left or right? its small but kind of an annoyance.

I've spent 2-3 hours trying to fix that, it's very annoying to me, no progress yet :/

You can't yet, config file is on my list for 0.3.

[blakmajik]

Looks like no update tonight, still having a few issues. Tomorrow for sure.

HOLY HELL I never thought sombody would make a mod like this. This is awsome my first creation will be a flying home. yay! thanks for the mod. i give you my mine also be careful with makeing this smp compatible there may be problems with people placing a controler block and flying away with other peoples houses. just to let ya know

p.s. does the controler work with blocks from other mods?

[SirGigglezWorth]

hayman, this is an amazingly good mod!!!
as for your future plans, please dont make it need fuel.
i mean,
you would be nerfing your own mod.
forealises

[Zansabure]

yeah but fuel is a must need for any device..let's say furnace burns cobble smelts metals...in BTW mod water wheel needs floating water..so on so this must require fuel..if it runs out of it it should glide down.

I would really like you to create a way to animate my pirate ship..it's a basic water ship...if you would find a way it would be so epic to sail on my medium size high detail ship
a way that it will stick the object to the water..or something..i'm just saying.

What?

Without fuel, the mod is ridiculously unbalanced.

[Metsane]

Fantastic mod, my friend!! I have to say something that ought to be added to the OP:

The Zeppelin's movements will be mapped in an E-->W motion going forward. This is pretty important when making airships, 'cause you don't want an airship that goes sideways! ;P
...or DO you? :3

Also, can you add a slower reverse speed for zeppelins?

Like I said, fantastic mod!!

So what?
Its a mod. It's already unbalanced.
To balance it out, maybe we should even make 20 more recipes requiring 10 diamond blocks, obsidian, and some redstone, per 5 blocks connected to the controller.

It's a great mod right at this moment, why ruin it?
and yes, adding more trivial bullshit ruins many mods.

and besides, again, so what if it's unbalanced?
I mean, real reasons why.
Because "It ruins the feel" doesnt count.





Anyway, I ask, can you move the control properties to an extra text or config/properties/settings file?
Because a few other mods also add to the control options gui, and my screen isnt that big, so I have buttons behind the "Done" button, and cannot read or change the settings (IN GAME) and other mods mess with that menu and the extra controls disappear altogether.
Also, there are TWO Gui API mods you could use.

WOW, just wow, this mod is amazing! this is just... wow... i don't know how to describe it...
but anyway here's a few suggestions:

- more expensive recipe (makes more sence)
- make cobble one of the blocks it will recognize, OR BETTER!: make a props file that we can edit so we can make a blacklist of blocks we don't want to be recognized as a part of the ship!

(btw can't wait for SMP and working workbenches and stuff)
