I am creating a map and I downloaded jointedrail's container packs, TTX 53 huskystack and TTX maxi iv set. I intend of loading the container flat but don't want to have to move the train to load the cars one by one using a multiple industry instead use a lars industry and park the train and wait for it to load.

How can I create a lars industry using JR's containers?

Do I have to get permission to use JR's containers?



p.s I don't intend of uploading JR's containers to the download station

Also how do I post images up on the forums because I got some pictures for the screenshot competition

Please help, Thanks

Why not use Multi-Industry New ?

How to set up a Multi-Ind. New

Open Object tab, click ? mark, then click on MIN.
Name the IND

Click on Quene, Click on + Choose Commodity
If you want difference loads (Liters or Items) you need to add them to
Quene 2 or 3.
Now click on product If your commodity is liters or items change
it here.
Click back on Quene click on size change to max. Waybill you can change or not.

Click on commodity in quene 1.
You should not have the same commodity load/unload at a Industry
Depens on if you want to load or unload as how to set this up?
For loading set to max, For unloading set to half max.
Click on Track, Click on + add commodity
Mode--This should be changed to load into vehicle or unload from vehicle,
depending on your choice of commodity load or unload in quene.
Leave Vehicle to none.
Click on Processes,
If the commodity is to be loaded click on the + to the right of red arrow
If the commodity is to be unloaded click on the + to the left of the red arrow.
Set the produce or consume to max.
Set the duration as is or change it to how long you want the IND to reload (if producing)
or empty itself(if consuming).
Click check your done.

Now if you still want to know how to make a ProtoLars Ind. let me know I'll walk you thru it.
 
I don't intend of using multiple industry's because having a 100 car train, multi industry's only load 1 car then you have to move the train. With proto lars industry's it can load the hole train without moving and you can set a delay and load the train over time.

Please tell me how to set up a lars industry


Thanks oknotsen on the uploading images instructions

One way you can do this simply is to place a trackmark at the load point. Then use the "instant load" and the cars will be loaded with various JR containers, it double stacks them as well. I often use this system on my routes after a consist leaves a portal so I have an incoming container train to unload, then use the "instant unload" to get them off.
Check out member Msgsapper, he has done a lot of new Lars tracks. I seem to remember there was a post when he first started doing them where he explained how to do it. It was some time ago.
Cheers,
Mike
 
Did Firefighterdan link help you?
If not this is what I do!
You do not have the same product load and unload at a IND!
(1) Name the IND (coal load At Mine)this will show up in your Commands.
(2) Set it to load/unload one car at a time.
(3) Load/unload intervals set this to how long you want one car to load after another.
(4) If you want the IND to Load set the rate to MAX under the produce.
(5) If you want to unload set this at a smaller number.(1 To consume 1 product every minute)Set initial to half the side of the produce is.
(6) you can leave the percent as is for now.
(7) setting the load/unload at the bottom? On a item of 256 if you set this to 1 it will load 1 item every(what every you set in (3) to)
on a car and may take a long time to load 1 car. ( I set this to 256 if I want to load the train in a few minutes)
You will have to test this out to get it to work the way you want.
 
Alright thanks but how do I make a lars ind using jointed rail's containers because i searched the download station and all the lars tracks that i found and downloaded have the containers defaulted to the game and a few from the DLS.

Please help me make a lars ind using jointed rail's containers
 
Hmm, in principle you only need to change the commodity kuid numbers in an existing LARS or ProtoLars track to the container kuid(s) you want to use.
There is a template to create your own on Trainz Pro Routes, the forum section (you need to be registered, but that's free). However it's quite old, so maybe you should have a look as well at some LARS tracks updated to function correctly in the newest versions by philskene, found on the DLS. Clone one, and start changing the referenced kuids.

Btw, this in fact is considered content creation, so maybe best to ask upcoming questions about this in the content creation section of this forum.

Hmm, looking at the config.txt in the LARS asset (IndustRail v3) by phil it seems you just have to add 'prodXX'(s) (where the 'X' is a numeral) to the kuid-table in the config.txt after the last 'prod75'. Add 'prod76' followed by a tab and the kuid number that references the kuid of the by you desired commodity. Repeat as often as needed. Sadly the *.gs script is the compiled *.gse version so I cannot see if there's a cap on the number of entries, but I presume not.
So what you do is look up the cloned asset in the CMP, select it and press Ctrl-Shift-E and in the upcoming window open the config.txt with notepad.exe. Add the needed entries to the kuid-table in the config file in exactly the same manner as the others in there. Next look up an entry called 'productcount' in the stringtable allmost at the top of the config file and change the number there to one higher then the last 'prodXX' entry. Then save the file, close the window and with the asset selected still in the CMP press Ctrl-m to commit the asset. If all went well that should do it.

Success. ;)

I am confused on what you are talking about Jananton it will help if I step by step instructions.

And no danny5 i don't have teamSpeak 3
 
William, That true. But he wants to learn how to do it himself so he can make his own Ind's.
Duckman, Team Speak is a free talk program, you only need to Dl the client part and have a Mic.
To DL go to Teamspeak3.com DL the client part not the server.
open click connect add the address below with the dots.
 
Well, you've obviously haven't done much content creation so I'll try to do it step by step.

- On the splash screen when you startup trainz press the button 'content' and wait until the CMP, the Content Manager, is up and running.

- Since you've allready cloned phil's asset locate it in the big Asset window taking up the right side of the program. Easiest way in this case is to press the tab called 'My Content' and locate the cloned asset in the shown list.

- Left-click on it to select then press Ctrl-Shift-E on the keyboard to open the asset for editing in a normal windows explorer window.

- In this window you see a list of files. One is named config.txt and that's the one you need to open with notepad.exe. Do not use another editor because this file must stay in plain ascii format.

- The file looks like this:
Code:

TO BE CONTINUED (because ridiculous character cap here)
 
CONTINUATION

- locate the entry kuid-table. Between brackets you can see a list beginning with 'prod0' followed by a kuid number.

- Scroll down this list until you find a line starting with 'prod75' followed by again a kuidnumber. Move the cursor to the end of this line and press enter on your keyboard.

- Press the tab key once to indent and then type 'prod76' (without the quotes) hit the tab key again and enter the kuidnumber of the Jointed Rail commodity you want to add to the list. Note how those kuidnumbers are written in the list and use the same formatting.

- Repeat the previous if you want to add more then one commodity, each time increasing the number after 'prod' by one.

- When done here scroll up to find the string-table with the one entry between the brackets called productcount.

- Change the number between the quotes following productcount to one higher then the last 'prod' entry you made in the kuid-table. So, if you only added one to try this and your last entry there is 'prod76' then the number after productcount should read "77".

- Now safe your work done in notepad by File / Save and close notepad.

- Next also close the windows explorer window.

- Back in the CMP make shure the opened for edit asset is still selected. You'll notice the spanner and hammer symbol next to it what indicates its an asset open for editing.

- To commit the asset press Ctrl-m on the keyboard and note how the hammer and spanner icon will faint away.

That's it, If all went well and you made no typos this should be it.

Greetings from nighttime Amsterdam,

Jan
