Use of Movecraft plugin

[Gabriel23]

Just an idea. Would it be possible to implement the movecraft plugin? It's not very useful real time as not more than one person can be on the ship etc when it's moving, but it would be helpful for story progression as it would mean big ships could be moved to other regions to explore or invade. I've used it before on my own server and it's not too difficult to use.

Here's a video just showing some of what's possible

I think this would be great. It'd let us move Novarium's ships around.

I had this mod on my old server and we made a big ship. Unfortunately anything big we moved very fast decided to evaporate and was destroyed forever. It was very unpredictable and the water of Aceon isn't all connected so Novariums ships would have to be able to fly aswell. The ships don't turn either and only move sideways and theres also the problem of the duplication glitch. The duplication glitch basically happens whenever notch puts a new item in Minecraft. If you stick that item in one of the boats controlled then every time you move it duplicates behind you. But it would also have to be an item which you could stick on the wall. I also remember theres a limit to the amount of blocks your ship can still move at and if it gets too big and numerous people are boating then it can cause severe lag. Not to mention the fact that it could encourage more factions to do with flying/boats which could be negative or positive depending on how you look at it.

I didn't know about the glitches etc but with regards to flying boats etc I was thinking of it more as a tool to set up RP scenarios than to be used in real time ?

We have world edit for that, though people seem to suck at using it and the terrain ends up horribly skewed after someone uses it.

Where can i get the plugins?

Agreed, remeber its an RP server... we dont need the ships to actually move

[Sir_Therim]

but the world would make sense if they did

[Gabriel23]

Just thought it would be alot easier to set up events etc if we could actually change the position of the boats

[Demonizer877]

We can, we just use world edit. Plus it's easier to move a ship with world edit because of that moving ship/plane/car mods many glitches.

This would be so sick to have on the server

This plugin could end up lagging the server badly.  :-\
