Closing the railroad

As we all know it is broken.
New players keep getting confused that nothing is happening when they try to use the railroad.
So my request would be to just fence up the entrances to the railroad to avoid further confusion and frustration.

the rail-road has been broken for how long?! honesty why didn't we do this earlier?

Why is it broken in teh first place...

It is already closed. It has been closed.

because if I remember correctly one of the plugins decided to go and say screw you rail-road and after that it got broken...

and why is it not sealed off?

So the shop down can still be used and people can look at it if they want.

well has it been stated within the rail-road that it is down and not operational at all?

Yes if you took a look at it, instead of posting rubish, you would notice it does say it before you enter.

... well err ehumm *cough*mobiledevice*cough* so yah...

I have offered to fix the old rail link and we can revert to that if you all wish and I'm given the okay from Orc or whoever is in charge of it.

I kinda lost interest in that alongside all my other projects.

I just don't have the time anymore, and right now I'm trying to run the spawn project, but once-more, i have such little time >.<

I wish i could revive it, but i don't think it's worth the effort for this map, but in the new map, I'm sure Jar will be with me by saying we could create one with literally no limits!

I said I'd do it. Just give me coordinates to major cities and I'll make the rail link go there. move shops etc to block the "new" RR and the such.

Just gate it off till it's done.

I think the plugin is not online? Soon as it's back on, we should be good to go?

Why don't we just use a Warp Plugin?
Less Lag
Less Time Wasted

Just to clarify, Minecart Mania is online (bar chest control) but as the dev is on hiatus I'm not sure whether all of it's features work correctly in 1.8.

Because Warp plugin is boring.

The RR (not so much now, but would be in the new map) more amazing than some boring tp .

How about the minecarts go into these?

Looks interesting!

Hehe very good plugin. I doubt minecarts would go into it though. Maybe a portal room would work? you know since they can be all different sizes it would be interesting.

but then it'd be.. boring.. Atleast with a railroad you get to see things..

I prefer those portals to the previous nether star-gate portals we used...

RailRoad is always the top trump though, and Jar will agree we'd love to make a new one without limitations like our last one ;p

If you read down, right below the place where it talks about how the gates are connected, it says that minecarts can not travel through, however it looks awesome. Also I think there should be just for the main city's and as an alternative to the RR because the amount that can be placed is limited by the number different blocks there are. Different than the signatures on the current teleporters there are far fewer possibilities for them.

Like what? Stone? I personally don't like the railroad. Too buggy in my opinion. Once i got stuck and i couldn't get out, I raged like ****
Teleporting to spawn never helped since i was IN the minecart lol

Edit:Abit late reply

Those portals look cool!

Everyone seems to like the portal idea. Add them orc?

Portals? What would we do with them? If they're physical and not command based then setting them up for Gil under spawn sounds good to me.

Yes they are physical, check out the link i posted above.

Is there a definite decision on whether the railroad is staying or not?

ME like idea of custom portals

When will people stop killing my work?

Grintendo checks your PMz!!11!!1!!one!1!1!!

Poor Grint. Portals will rule the world some day!

Have done Hatter, catch me when i'm online or something.

But i should be busy tonight, i have important test tomorrow.

But seriously, all my projects you guys seem to want to remove?

I liked the railroad... The most recent one wasn't my favourite though because of the teleporters, but the old one was awesome when I first used it. Traveling along seeing all the stuff people have made, it was awesome! that was even back when i had like 600+ ping to the server... anyway, seems like the push to vote is for the portals... I'm not voting for that though..

Weather it replaces the railroad or not. I vote for it to be installed. It can easily be placed anywhere and is MUCH more compact then a rune tp. The fact it can be in any shape that a human can fit into it is nice for different styles of "Portal rooms".

Anyone else agree?

Agreed I do not want to replace the railroad with these, BUT they look a lot nicer than the tp rune and are easier to make imo.

Make a chunk of the railroad a temporary portal room (Like the center or something) and temporarily close the real railroad. That way the shops can stay, and it transforms into another transportation area.

Or we could Temporarily seal off the railroad and use the area under spawn as a portal room.

I'm with the RR always. Idc about portals..since I can tp

So it seems a majority yes? I dont know lol. But mostly seems it. Not to replace the rail road but having the plugin in.

What do you think orc?

While no one seems to be fixing the RR, couldn't hurt?

It never was my intension to suggest the railroad should be removed.
I solely would like the way way down there fenced up as long as its broken to avoid confusion. The shops there can still stay open, its just the path to the railroads im talking about.

But what is true is that we need a solution for missing ability to get around.

i have this whole weekend to work on anything minecraft related *cough* spawnproject*cough* and this if possible. I wouldn't mind giving my engineering hand at railroad design.

can i helpz decorate i want to make it looks nice

Im pretty good With Railroads and the Coordinates System. Give me the Railroad Job and i've it done within 2 weeks. Give me the supplies and i do it by hand.. on my own..
