Trains In Motion is a Minecraft Mod built using Minecraft Forge.
Trains In Motion alters the looks of, and adds new functionality, to minecarts. Allowing what was once simple minecarts, to become trains and rolling-stock, able to transport almost anything at speeds higher than a normal minecart.
Format is limited to .java models only; you can use tools such as FMT, BDCraft Cubik, SMP Toolbox, Technie or even writing it manually. FMT is free and the preferred editor due to varying shape support.
Model scale is 0.75 meters, or, 12 microblocks, wide for the wheel base, In other words they must fit on minecart rails. It is reccomended the body should be 1.25+ meters, or, 20+ microblocks, wide.
Technie models are required to be 512x512 resolution for textures. Models from other editors have a max resolution of 4096x4096 as defined in the editor.
Textures must be in .png format.
Audio must be in .ogg format and no more than 192kb/s.
Code:
Code will be reviewed for optimizations and structure, if the issues are too large they will need to be fixed.
Code requires Intellij 2018, available here, and will not work with 2019 or newer, NOTE: 2018 can be installed alongside 2019 without any conflictions. NOTE 2:Eclipse should work, but is unsupported because I don't know how to use it.
Code setup also requires the setup from the "Compiling a .jar pre-release" section.
Regarding new features/behavior changes, please submit a new Suggestion to the issue tracker, or ask me on discord, before you write any code.
Workspace setup may use the idea option in the setup.bat, or by entering the following command manually, without quotes. NOTE: Powershell is not supported, use CMD. And do not run as admin/sudo.
Compiling requires java 1.8, available for windows here. For Linux and Mac use OpenJDK. An Oracle link was not provided due to Oracle restricting various versions to buisness accounts only.
compiling also requires this java version as your system default, in windows this is done by going to Enviornment Variables in Advanced System Settings, and adding or changing "JAVA_HOME" to the install path of jdk 8.

Trains in Motion code is planned/intended to be heavily documented in hopes it can teach some tricks to modding, but because it's nearly impossible to learn from copy-pasting code it's heavily advised against doing so without studying how and why it works.
