[Mod] Vehicles: Cart

by xyz » Post

Image
This is not a release version, it may be buggy and eat all your cpu, please don't install this on public servers. Thanks.

Now this mod adds only carts, but I plan to add boats (when it'll be possible with modding api)
Current KNOWN bugs:
1) Player is not attached to cart, this is because modding api doesnt allow to move player (okay, actually, moveto and setpos both don't work when using with player's objectref)
2) Initial moving vector should be determined using player position, but now it is hardcoded

Crafting:

Code: Select all

...
#.#
###
where # is steel ingot and . is nothing

How-to use:
Craft cart, place it on the rails (by using right mouse button), then right-click it and it will go!

Download

If the first link doesn't work

Test & enjoy

That's because torch is node, and when going down or up you cannot pass through a node
Same for water

Perhaps you could check if the "walkable" property of the node is false.

Updated!
now cart's initial movement vector based on player position
carts move better, especially for Y-axis

In single player mode cart stops after disconnecting, sometimes between blocks. Should it be so?

I've played with the code a little and here is a start to the change needed to move the player with the cart.

in scriptapi.cpp around line 1869

Code: Select all

    static int l_setpos(lua_State *L)
    {
        ObjectRef *ref = checkobject(L, 1);
        //LuaEntitySAO *co = getluaobject(ref);
        v3f pos = readFloatPos(L, 2);
        ServerRemotePlayer *player = getplayer(ref);
        if(player != NULL)
        {
            player->setPos(pos);

            std::ostringstream os(std::ios::binary);
            // command (3 = force update position)
            writeU8(os, 3);
            // pos
            writeV3F1000(os, pos);
            // yaw
            writeF1000(os, player->getYaw());
            // create message and add to list
            ActiveObjectMessage aom(player->getId(), false, os.str());
            player->m_messages_out.push_back(aom);

            return 0;
        }
        ServerActiveObject *co = getobject(ref);

        if(co != NULL)
        {
            // Do it
            co->setPos(pos);
            return 0;
        }
        return 0;
    }
and in content_cao.cpp around line 2248

Code: Select all

    void processMessage(const std::string &data)
    {
        //infostream<<"PlayerCAO: Got message"<<std::endl;
        std::istringstream is(data, std::ios::binary);
        // command
        u8 cmd = readU8(is);
        if(cmd == 0) // update position
        {
            // pos
            m_position = readV3F1000(is);
            // yaw
            m_yaw = readF1000(is);

            pos_translator.update(m_position, false);

            updateNodePos();
        }
        else if(cmd == 1) // punched
        {
            // damage
            s16 damage = readS16(is);

            if(m_is_local_player)
                m_env->damageLocalPlayer(damage, false);

            m_damage_visual_timer = 0.5;
            updateTextures("^[brighten");
        }
        else if(cmd == 3) // force update position
        {
            // pos
            m_position = readV3F1000(is);
            // yaw
            m_yaw = readF1000(is);

            if(m_is_local_player)
            {
                m_local_player->setPosition(m_position);
            }

            pos_translator.update(m_position, false);

            updateNodePos();
        }
    }
I also moved the code that moves the player in the mod script and made it so you and get attached if you are standing in the cart when you activate it:

Code: Select all

    -- first state: cart is moving
    if self.moving ~= false and self.time == 0 then
        local pos_f = self.object:getpos()
        if self.moving ~= false then
            if eq(pos_f.x, self.moving.x) and eq(pos_f.y, self.moving.y) and eq(pos_f.z, self.moving.z) then
                self.moving = false
                self.object:setacceleration({x = 0, y = -10, z = 0})
                if self.stopnow then
                    self.stopnow = false
                    self.attached_to = false
                end
            else
                local needed = {x = self.moving.x - pos_f.x,
                                y = self.moving.y - pos_f.y,
                                z = self.moving.z - pos_f.z}
                needed = resize(needed, math.min(length(needed), speed))
                self.object:setpos(move(pos_f, needed))

                -- move player that attached to this cart; FIXME
                local player = minetest.env:get_player_by_name(self.attached_to)
                if player ~= nil then
                    --print (self.attached_to .. " moved to " .. self.object:getpos().x .. ", " .. self.object:getpos().y .. ", " .. self.object:getpos().z)
                    p_pos = self.object:getpos()
                    p_pos.y = p_pos.y - 0.5
                    player:setpos(p_pos)
                end
            end

            return
        end
    end

    -- second state: cart just need to check whether to move next self.time==0

...

...

function cart:on_rightclick(clicker)
    if self.attached_to == false then
        local playerpos = clicker:getpos()
        local selfpos = self.object:getpos()

        if ((playerpos.x-1) < selfpos.x and (playerpos.x+1) > selfpos.x and
            (playerpos.y-2) < (selfpos.y) and (playerpos.y+1) > (selfpos.y) and
            (playerpos.z-1) < selfpos.z and (playerpos.z+1) > selfpos.z) then
            self.attached_to = clicker:get_player_name()
        else
            self.attached_to = ""
        end
        local best = 1e15
        -- find initial moving direction by searching through 4 nearby possibly positions
        self.vec = {x = 1, z = 0}
        for dx = -1,1 do
            for dz = -1,1 do
                if (dx * dz == 0) and (dx ~= 0 or dz ~= 0) then
                    local dst = dist(playerpos, {x = selfpos.x + dx, z = selfpos.z + dz})
                    if dst < best
                        and (is_rail({x = selfpos.x - dx, y = selfpos.y, z = selfpos.z - dz})
                        or is_rail({x = selfpos.x - dx, y = selfpos.y + 1, z = selfpos.z - dz})
                        or is_rail({x = selfpos.x - dx, y = selfpos.y - 1, z = selfpos.z - dz})) then
                            best = dst
                            self.vec = {x = -dx, z = -dz}
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    else
        self.stopnow = true
    end
end

You should modify my mod and minetest source.

Great mod.

But I suggesting 2 things:

1. Should be also "mese cart" - very fast, faster that fast_move. From mese instead steel.

2.Ships should be also in "normal" and "mese" version - second much faster, but slower than mese cart.

3.deltaplane(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_glider). - also with "slow" and "mese" version(mese version will be like a today "fast_move"). Simple with it player with it can move like in free_move but without noclip(eg walls are solid).

With that mod servers can put off free_move.

This mod will increase number of players and developers, and I view it very important now. Please don't stop development.

Those blocks looks better just because can provide player's movements on it, but with rideable blocks we have two useless items - rails and this blocks. We need worked railroads with carts, which can move minerals and player to the ground

Hello, can someone post me a little help? I'm using a git version of Minetest and some plugins, I like to use carts, but the veihcle is not moving at all (on the rails of course). If I hit it with right-click nothing happen, left-click collect it.
