Instantload

I would like to ask someone who is knowledgeable about this command (Instantload) if they can either FIX the current command we now have or create a new Instantload command so that the train will load RANDOM loads.

I, and probably a thousand other Trainz users, would very much appreciate it.

Thank you in advance,

Dave Snow
 
Hi Dave,
There are several "instantload' commands on the DLS. I think that kuid2:45324:555017:7 by norfolksouthern37 will do what you are looking for.

Yes, I am aware of that rule, but it only loads every car with the same load. I am looking for an Instantload command that will load each CAR with a random load from the list. What I mean is, every car will have a different load.
 
kuid2:45324:555017:7 can load all cars with random loads, load random cars with random loads, or load well cars with single level (no stacks) assuming that the creator of the cars has configured queues correctly. It does this in general by looking at all of the queues and their contents and making lists of what can go where (intermodal), then picking from that list. If the queues are too numerous (> 10) then the command will randomly pick a queue and product without regards for product layout.

Okay, thanks Justin. I see where my problem is. Just one question.. Why is there a >10 limit? Couldn't there be an Instantload with NO limits??

Thanks

Dave

Well, I cut my commodities back to ten in my Config, and used your Instantload, and set it to load Random, but it STILL only loads one of the same product in all my 89 ft. flatcars. I want different products in each flatcar.

Instant load does not recognize them as 89ft flat cars and probably assumes you are loading a unit train (like coal or grain or oil) since it is all the same type and config of car. Try adding "TOFC" to the traincar username.

Added tofc to username. No change. And some of the flatcars load zero commodities.

OK, well it is most certainly to do with something in the config of the traincar. This command works great for most everything and has for several years. Maybe post the config?

Also, let's be clear about the command you are passing to ilcore: When you choose "Load Random" you are telling it to choose at random to leave some cars empty, as in load a random set of cars in this train so that would explain why some are empty. "Load All" will load every car in the train.

edit: and make sure you are actually using <kuid2:45324:555110:3> Instant Load Library

description "89 ft. Flat Car. Lettered for TTX. Provided with ARN. Will load various vehicles, TEN different max.


TTX owns numerous 89-ft, 70- or 110-ton, general purpose flat cars. Their simple design belies their capability to carry numerous types of cargos, particularly large, bulky, and heavy items, including pipe and other primary steel products (and occasionally old rail equipment for museums or railcars damaged in wrecks). To facilitate shipments, many of the 110-ton cars are equipped with a system of floor deck holes, which permit the easy installation of risers, bunks, and other attachment devices used to secure loads. Additionally, several thousand cars are specially equipped to handle pipe, and the cars include Vibration Isolation Devices (VID's) and lading strap anchors. These cars (and many others) also feature stake pockets and web strap winches.

Ok so what I did was take a JR 89 ft flatcar and put your config user name and queue setup into it and then ran a quick test of instant load and this was the result:

It appears to have worked for me so if this is what you were looking for then you must be using some incorrect version of ilcore <kuid2:45324:555110:3> Instant Load Library v 0.5.

I could send you another if you want to try it.
 
Okay. Loaded this one into CMP and this is what I get. And now it will only load the first item in the list, the crane, no matter how many times I instant unload and instant load Random:

 
Justin, I just wanted to report that all is working fine now. I went back in my "test" route and completely deleted all the flat cars--- then added them back and they now load random as intended.

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

Hello Dave

Thank you very much for your beautifull assets.

Your two just uploaded flatcars are showing a missing asset with me:
<kuid2:45324:555110:4> . That is a Instant Load Library by norfolksouthern37

The version x:x:3 is on the DLS but cannot be installed with me.

Thank you very much for your help.
