Rollingcats Transit Expansion

RTE — Rollingcats Transit Expansion

Track geometry and construction tooling for Minecraft Transit Railway 4.0.

Track geometry

• Four path modes: native, auto Bézier, multi-point curve fitting, manual Bézier
• Vertical curves with configurable radius, gradient shown in ‰
• Cant (superelevation) — roll distributed along the track; vehicles, camera and
  the player’s standing plane all follow
• Arc-length sampling through a unified TrackPath interface
• Geometry analysis: curvature, minimum radius, gradient rating

Construction tools

Parallel line copy, along-line array, catenary planning, manual track chains with
draggable endpoint handles, and undo (sneak + right-click air).

Legacy resource pack compatibility

MTR 3.x packs lose a lot of functionality under 4.0. RTE adds a compatibility
layer for the migration gap — every item below is an individual toggle:

• Two JS runtimes (Rhino / GraalJS), selected per pack via the engine field
• Per-function script backoff, so one bad script can’t throw every frame
• Time base conversion between 3.x (ticks/seconds) and 4.0 (milliseconds)
• default.png matched by filename instead of exact path
• Relaxed pack_format validation for packs built for older MC versions
• DOORWAY parts derived from door positions (3.x has no such concept)
• Built-in gangway suppressed when the pack ships its own
• Oversized textures downscaled on read

Measured across 322 community packs: loading errors dropped from 567 to 19.

Server-side data sync

MTR only syncs data near the player. With RTE installed on the server, three
on-demand requests are added (falls back to vanilla behaviour when absent):

• Full vehicle path — fixes ETA and average speed derived by resource packs
• Full rail set (paged) — the dashboard no longer loses segments at distance
• In-viewport vehicle positions (10 Hz, extrapolated)

Resource workbench

In-game vehicle resource editor: list loaded vehicles, snapshot them, edit fields
through a recursive JSON editor, preview models, import textures, export as JSON
or a self-contained resource pack zip.

Included

Decoration objects with a property editor (7 built-in models), direct nodes and a
visitor-counting turnstile. Interface built on ImGui, no Cloth Config needed. 10 languages.

Requires: MTR 4.0+, Architectury API. Fabric builds also need Fabric API.
Optional: MSD (enables the catenary planner).
