After months of experimenting with this, I found a couple things with the entity quadcopters :

Entity Quadcopters can lift people.
Entity Quadcopters can suffocate an entity by driving into the ground.

There is a bug when lifting people. It will look like the player is still in the Quadcopter when they are dropped. Immobilizing them for quite a while if it was a long journey. Disregarding that, you can make several cool taxi systems. Since players will act as chunk loaders for the Quadcopters, you can travel quite extreme distances with it.

Version 0.2.0 adds a new feature: Waystations! Quadracoptors can hover over a waystation to allow their inventories/tanks to be directly manipulated by other automation, by exposing them through the bottom side of the waystation block. You can use the "hover [time]" command in your quadracoptor programs to tell them to attempt to hover at a waystation. Only one quadracoptor can use a waystation at a time.

This update also adds correct rendering for liquids in the tanks for the fluid quadracoptors, so you can finally see what they're carrying!

I'll work on fixing the bugs with quadracoptors carrying players, but bear in mind that they are still currently creative-only. :)

why not add some fuel system, it's nice to have them flying arround but for ever and ever may not let it attractive to survival gaming

Not so sure I can agree with that - just about every piping system available somehow manages to magically shunt items around the place without any form of external power, loosely justified by the presence of redstone within the Autarchic Gates / Pneumatic Servos / whatever you're using in your piping network. Why should Quadracoptors be any different?

Bomb Bloke's hit the nail on the head. There may be features down the line that require some sort of external power, but the basic piping functionality won't ever require fueling of any sort.

Quadracoptors does not do anything specific to accommodate permissions/protections beyond the fact that it respects ISidedInventory available slot checks and the like. Unless PlotMe alters the blocks' Tile Entities, it is unlikely that Quadracoptors would respect restrictions placed on inventories in this way. If a block permissions/protection system is ever implemented into Forge itself, I will have Quadracoptors use that system, but I'm not really interested in supporting the flavor-of-the-week permissions system in Bukkit/Cauldron/MCPC/Spigot/etc.

Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Hello, I am using Quadracoptors 0.2.0 and I have noticed a bug, but it doesn't crash.
The world lags terribly, taking about 4-8 seconds for anything to get to the server and back.
Pressing a key in a computer takes this time, opening a chest too, etc.
I'm getting this spammed in my console:
Spoiler

So, if you can fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. For now I have to exclude it from my world.
(Yeah, when I remove it it gets fixed)
Thanks!

BTW awesome mod. I would really like to use it :(

Can you provide a full mod list and reproduction instructions? That will greatly speed the debugging process.

Sure.
Modlist
I also tried with quadracoptors 0.1.6 and it also lagged.
I removed it, but the console logs and lag still happens!
I don't know what happened, but removing quadracoptors doesn't fix it.
Maybe you'll be able to reproduce it by having the same mods, I don't know.

Are the console logs different when you remove Quadracoptors? What happens if you kill the entity at the location the messages are specifying? I'm not really sure why or how a bat entity would be having anything to do with the Quadracoptors, to be honest.

Nevermind. In a different world without Quadracoptors the problem still happens, due to corrupt chunks.
I'm sorry for reporting a false bug. It was just sudden blackouts.
Thanks anyway.

Is this updated for CC 1.74?

Were there any API changes between 1.73 and 1.74 that are causing it not to work? I haven't tested it yet, but I'm not aware of any significant API changes in ComputerCraft that would cause it to not work.
