If you're using immibus' redlogic, this is how I run an elevator. Works really well

Jakj, Told the tick threading guys about the issue, and they fixed it. Don't know how, the commit that fixed it seemed to add one line of code, but either way they are now compatible. As for everyone using slimevoid's wireless, its been causing tonnes of grief on my server. I don't think its really mcpc+ compatible.

I seemed to remember reaching orbit on a very smooth but uncontrollable platform, I'm glad to find out I'm not crazy. Then I will keep building the elevator system the same way and trust it will be smooth again some time in the future. By the way the rendering looks great, no flickering on anything, I'm impressed.

Sure, I'll go ask them if they'd be willing to do that. On another note, did continuous mode motors always stop for a moment each block, or has that recently been added? I was planning on making an elevator, and while that works pretty well its not very smooth. I was just going to have a piston push a block out from the elevator shaft wall to force the thing to stop at the right floor, so that the frame wouldn't have to check for a redstone signal every block.

cool, I appreciate it

Hey jakj! Been testing out the Tickthreading mod to see how well it handles multithreading tile entities. Been pretty impressed so far, however it seems to be incompatible with RiM This is the error log it gives me, I thought I'd show you. If making RiM compatible is completely out of your hands let me know and I'll go pester the TT guys. EDIT: yikes, no spoilers on this Forum. http://pastebin.com/vvjkZz2q

I figured it would be a little rude to kiss your butt in the truss mod thread, but I wanted to say I'm impressed with your competency, candor, and positive relations with what I believe will soon become a large fan base. I really do hope you shine through as an example to other modders. From "Don't bother me with bug reports, I already know, leave me alone" to an egomaniac with his little nest of sycophants, From groups of faceless collaborators infighting to absolute radio silence, the modding community has developed a lot of personalities that aren't really conducive to a positive experience for end users. I hope your attitude will change things, not to mention its clear you know your way around an IDE. Thanks again. [/kissass]

So no mario, thats a bummer but honestly I'm not surprised. The zeppelin mod/ ugo craft seem to be something altogether different, its a shame they're unavailable to someone running a forge/bukkit server (MCPC+ is a specialized bukkit server for running forge mods natively, btw, absolutely phenomenal). Sounds like someone needs to patch in some more complex entity-to-entity collision code and make a mod the just converts the blocks into an entity until it stops. May take a stab at it myself since it's totally my dream. As for the flying carpet. My intention would be to have it hit a docking platform at either end to stop it, I would just want people to be able to run around on it while its running. Being able to control it in-transit isn't as important. Think a zeppelin in world of warcraft, you're just along for the ride. I guess from the sounds of things jumping on to it in transit would be not doable unless it pauses every block(which is super annoying, everyone is looking for smooth motion.) or that it searches for new entities in its bounding box every tick or two like you said.

I signed up to the forum just to tell you why I want to be able to move on your carriage. I want to make platformer-style jumping platforms in dungeons for my server-goers. That and of course the elusive Elevator. Definitely need to be able to move and maintain momentum on a moving platform in order to jump from one to another. Elevator is not so important, but would be great regardless. A long range, flying carpet type carriage would likely end up happening. A ride in a huge blimp would be pretty boring if you can't look out the windows. Man I miss the zeppelin mod. Also I want to second a request for MCPC+ support. That is the best server available. All the bonuses of forge, spigot and bukkit servers.
