Emit train now
- Thread starter nuni727

I think the rule has errors and won't work well with TS2009+ It was quite a process to set it up in TRS2004, if I recall too.
There's a new Quick Drive add-on, which I'm not sure if it works with TS2009, but it comes with TS2010 that does something similar. There's a bug in this though that disables the free-roaming camera once a consist is selected.

it was worling in 10 and bamm it stoped working for me
So that's why my free-roaming camera stopped working...hmmm.

I found another newer version of the Emit train now rule however it too throws an error however it seems to work after clearing the error. the system doesn't crash completely...just a little red button in the lower right of the screen. (I use 2010). I got frustrated with it and started using a Central Portal control rule. with an emit train on trigger command. it doesn't give me the flexibility of the Emit train now rule but it doesn't throw an error. also I use a resource check and embed a CPC emit train rule in its child process. so if I have an industry that is low on lumber I can get a train to emit a load of lumber. Be sure to max out your time between trains in the CPC if you don't it will keep generating trains every 15 minutes (the default) after the CPC trigger or CPC emit train condition is met.
One note is that it doesn't seem to like to use the Re-rail Portal assignments so I just use a regular portal for these items. I assign my desired consist in the Central Portal control and then assign the trigger or resource check to emit the train when the condition is met.
There is also a multiple resource check available on the DLS. It allow you to monitor consists or Multiple industries. However you have to watch it carefully when assigning it to watch consists as will only monitor those assigned cars. for example I might monitor a route that collects general goods from several source industries...then when the consist is full or nearly full I may assign it to a new route to unload everything until empty.
Its not exactly assigning a new train to the route but it has worked well for me. one might try using these combinations to get similar results using the CPC emit train rules available.
Have fun

what's a normal map?
if any fixes were to be made to the emit train now rule at jointedrail id have to know what errors you were getting. at one point a certain service pack caused me errors but the next one functioned properly. i re-wrote most of the code in the rule specifically for it to work in 09 because the old version will not at all - however some of the methods used in the code may be prone to conflicts. i have ts2010 and it seems to work ok when i use it. if you could point out a specific problem i could check the code and update if needed.
lately i have been using trains that are generated at trackmarks and using a new version of the instant load driver command which i also modified so that will load the trains properly - that is not load every product possible for that car, but one of the available ones in the list. it even works on wellcars which is a big plus.

well i must be lucky Emit Trains Now works in 06,09 & 10. Now i use the rerail portal tick rerail derailed trains,set wait for 1 minute, untick produce new train, leave consume train, blank. Now for Emit New Trains set up,tick add trackmark(any one),portals Available choose rerail portal (only) I know that iportals don't work,don't know about reg. portals. This is how i got mine to work. Hope this helps. Oh you may have to close it if you get a blank screen and reopen it.
Edit= Did this help anyone that having porblems.

that would probably involve some extensive editing. its in there though, HTML code... look for hex colors i guess.

The rule as it stands works but with errors. When I envoke it the first time
I get a blank blue screen with the red button lower right. Hitting the X in the
top right corner of the blank blue window kills the process. I then immediately envoke "Emit Train" again. From this point forward it works fine.
If I check the errors returned before clearing the blank window, the errors
reported are as shown below. Sure hope you can fix it. Although it works
for me as is, it is a pain to operate. Well maybe not a pain, but its just
not quite as it should be or used to be in 06. Thanks much. AL

i know i have fixed that, but i have failed to upload the file. its just taking it too long to read the assets in and as a result this new feature of 'timeout' catches it. when you invoke again it doesn't have to take as long and will work fine. can you send me an email so i remember to upload the latest file?
Hate to hash up an old thread but....
Seemed to be a good place to put this question.
I am using this rule on the marias pass route to get an accurate representation of traffic when i run my sessions. I go into survayor and make a couple of 80 car trains for use as traffic.
When I go to run my session and try to emit the trains with this rule they seem to come up about 10 or so cars short. This would not be so much of a problem but most of the trains that run on marias pass are intermodal trains and the usually get cut off in the middle of a 5 car unit. So i have to go find the last car or so and add them on the end.
Was just wondering if anyone else out there had issues like this and of a posible fix
Other then that a great rule
Thanks
Bill
