[request] Addresses for network rail controller about oc-minecarts HOT 3 OPEN

+1 to this, an address and component would be useful for the rail controller. Would allow much finer control (i.e knowing that minecart with address x is at network rail y, so I can do something with that information)

from oc-minecarts.

I will try that if I have time. So you mean something like

getConnectedCarts() -- returns a list of connected computer carts
getConnectionMode()  -- get the connection to the cart (None, Energy, ....)
setConnectionMode()  -- set the connection type

And for the Cart

getConnectedRail() -- maybe instead of hasNetworkRail() to get the connected rail controller

But I think that a button to disconnect this commponent will be good just to reduce the number of components if you don't need them. (Or make an advanced version of the rail controller)

If someone has more ideas post them here

from oc-minecarts.

A name to set for the rail controller would be nice, like the waypoints of oc.
getConnectedRail() could return then address, label. This would make codes better readable, but it's just an idea, if you make this method.

What about a slot for a network card? Then user can select, if he want's the rail controller connected over cable, or wireless.
