My idea is to have computers to be able to be used in Minecarts simelar to things like the chest cart. It would be crafted simelar to the chest cart and wouldn't need fuel to move the cart possibly

and the purpose it would serve being in a cart?

It would be able to serve as a portable computer for instance a portable advanced computer. Or a portable printer or disk drive. but it would be attached to rails.

How would this be useful what-so-ever? If you want a portable computer then they stated they are going to add PDA's.

It would be cool as an add-on, but I see no real use for it since there are going to be PDA's like Sammich said. Maybe you could learn Java and make an add-on with this. Ooh, sounds like a fun project! (Well not to me, but maybe you )
Also seems a bit redundant since computers generally need a power source (Not in Minecraft, real-life). Rails don't have power in them.. (Well, yes powered rails, but you get the point)

One use would be to transfer data between 2 or more computers. Anyways I'll look at learning java and seeing if I can make a addon

You say these would be more mobile, but to be honest, they're less mobile than turtles, as turtles don't require rails.

Wait, doesn't this already work?
In vanilla one of the 1.5.1 changes is that Minecarts can have custom blocks in them. Those custom blocks as I recall can have NBT Data and a TileEntity. I'll test it soon and come back to you guys.
EDIT: It wasn't Minecarts, it was falling sand entities.

i don`t think we actualy need a computer combined with a minecart, instead i think we need a computer module for steve`s carts.

there should be a computer module for steve`s carts.
the computer module would have a modular cost of 90.
there would be a module(the code) in the mod that would only be loaded when steve`s carts is installed.
the computer module would be able to control a module like a player would.

I know nothing about steves carts.

you should check it out, its really awesome.
steve`s carts is a mod, that adds a block wich is able to make minecarts, and the minecarts made by that block are very modular.
there are a lot of possibilities with it, its on the FTB (feed the beast) direwolf20 pack and other modpacks.
to make that possible,you or Dan should talk to Vswe about it.
and i think that direwolf20 would think that it would be awesome.
everyone says that a computer/turtle on a minecart would be pointless,but combined with steve`s carts it would be really usefull.

Vswe probably won't want to, also Cloudy and Dan would have to consent to it. It's a tad bit pointless IMO. As well, Vswe already has many modules and I doubt he needs more.
You would have to do ALOT of stuff to get this approved. So, good luck

You could ask RichardG to make it in his MiscPeripherals add-on for ComputerCraft. It's all about crossovers.
#58
Posted 08 April 2013 - 06:28 AM
RichardG would need permission from Vswe, Cloudy and or dan.
#59
Posted 08 April 2013 - 06:32 AM
I'm betting our side of the argument would be a yes from Cloudy/dan, but I don't know Vswe so. Hey wait a minute, aren't they both in ForgeCraft?

well, i am a little bit of a noob at coding.
imagine the possibilities, you would be able to make a minecart mine a certain amount of blocks.
we should really ask RichardG if he wants to implement it in his miscperipherals.
