Minecart Engine

This project is now inactive but the idea is alive.

(I would say it is a very advanced beta. In practice, still better than my plugin)

=================================================

Description

This complementary plugin for bergerkiller's Traincarts will add the possibility of create electric and lava/coal locomotives, with realistic features like

• Panel with LED speedometer, LCD display, and the console.
  
• Electrified railway systems, with needing of substations, and settings like voltage and substation power capacity.
  
• Sounds of the brake air system, control lever and the engine.
  
• Realistic effects like exploding the transformer when trying to destroy it while turned on
  

Permissions

MinecartEngine.usage - For use the locomotive.
MinecartEngine.create - For create the infraestructure, or the locomotives.

General controling:

/control start - start the low voltage systems (battery supplied if high voltage system is turned off).
/control stop - stop the low voltage systems.
/control engine - start/stop the diesel/lava/coal generator of the diesel/lava/coal train, supplying high voltage energy for the traction system works.
/control panto - raises/lowers the pantograph, supplying high voltage energy for the traction system works.

Direction Lever:

/df - Set direction lever to "forward".
/dn - Set direction lever to "neutral".
/db - Set direction lever to "backward".

/p1 - 25% of power.
/neutral - Set traction lever to "neutral".
/b1 - 25% of brake.
/b2 - 50% of brake.
/b3 - 75% of brake.
/b4 - Full brake.

Locomotive and Infrastructure Creating Commands:

Locomotive creating commands:

/loco create lava/coal/diesel - Creates a locomotive that runs by lava or coal inserted in a chest minecart.
/loco create electric <voltage> - Creates a electric locomotive, that runs by the electricity supplied by overhead lines in all the track.

Infraestructure creating commands:

/substation create <name> <voltage> <power> - Creates a electric substation that supply all the overhead lines connected with the iron block that the wizard will ask to you place

Instalation
