Minecarts missing?

[edc1591]

When I logged on to the server today for the first time since the upgrade to 1.3, i noticed that some of my minecarts were missing from my station. A few booster cars were left and everything in my pez dispenser was gone. relogging didn't change anything. Are they actually gone, or is it just a glitch?

Very strange. Are you saying your built structures have disappeared?

 

[edc1591]

No, the actual structures are still there, it just seems that some minecarts are missing from the tracks.

that could be due to your texture pack being a 1.2 texture pack not compatable with 1.3

It's possible that 1.3 did not like the way the carts were aligned and removed them. How many carts do you think were affected?

 

[edc1591]

useruser, i'm using the default texture pack

static, that's probably it, however a little while ago i put a new cart where one was missing and i just logged on and noticed that that new one is now missing. So this seems like an ongoing problem not just during the upgrade.

I just counted 17 missing carts plus the one that i just mentioned. so I'm down 18 carts.

I have had similar errors with my single player world converts. I had to replace the carts.

Is the spot where you're placing these carts causing them to glitch and be removed?

 

[edc1591]

Every cart that disappeared seems to be one that was placed in an unorthodox place. for example, all double boosters and carts that kind of overlap with other blocks (like cobble).

EDIT: just logged on and now every minecart in my station is missing.

EDIT 2: scratch that all except for like 3 of my carts are missing. not sure what the total count is but it's more than 18

 

[edc1591]

Ok, now it looks like they've reappeared. At first I thought that some were still missing but it looks like a few were just "thrown" off the track and placed a few blocks away

EDIT: Ok, now I'm sure of what's happening. if there is a block at the end of a track (to stop the cart), the minecarts will go into that block and to fix it you have to break the block and pickup the minecart.

I had the same issue except they generally reappear when touched. Either by the player or another minecart.

 

[edc1591]

yeah, it seems to be like more of a graphical glitch than anything else.
