Iportal run

Ok updates
skiingiggy stuff has been removed

Note:apache62 you need to give us Kuids or what website to get your stuff from.
 
As it stands right now, I am able to participate in sundays run aswell. However, take note that at any time I may be required to drop out of sunday. The new route I will be using is roughly 65% to becoming operational in the sense it can send & receive. I will be working as much as possible between now and tomorrow afternoon to get it ready. I will also be willing to make pictures on my end.
- Also, With the above being said, I will most likely not have the time to get a large scale yard up, which means I won't have many rail cars avalible. So, if possible, I would prefer if I only received trains, loaded/unloaded them, and send them back. Can I be told who I will be receiving from, and sending to? I would like to pre-program it into the iportals, instead of doing it in-game.

Edit: darn, sorry, I just relized this was a double post :(

It's been a while since I've played, but I suppose I can re-install '06 tomorrow and slap together an iPortal route real fast. Should be able to participate in Sunday's run.

I'll let you know if something comes up.
 
I might not be ble to attened tody, I got a FCT and CMP wouldn't load! I asked on the fourm "oh yeah it takes 24 hours to work" psssst ITS BEEN 3 DAYS! and It still dosn't work! As of now I only have default content to send, if thats ok.
 
Ok borg7of10 you would be sending and receiveing from apache62
On Saturday the player setup is
1.Jimmyp4 Industrial wasteland (The layout is a big oval so I have to be at an end)
2.Kcdowdey
3.Spawn_of_Chaos97 with hump yard (in the middle so he can sort trains)
4.Apache62
5.Borg7of10

ON SUNDAY
1. Jimmyp4 queensland Ships: Passenger Recives: Passener
2. atsfrr3000 (what are you shipping and reciveing?)

Would it not make more sense to receive from someone, and send to another? Like one big network.
Example: Spawn want's to send a train to you, jimmy, so he would send it through to apache, and it would travel his layout to get to me, then It would go from me to you.
Sort of like this:
Jimmyp4 Sends to kcdowndey, receives from borg
Kcdowdey sends to spawn_of_chaos, receives from Jimmyp4
Spawn_of_Chaos97 sends to Apache62, receives from Kcdowdey
Apache62 Sends to borg, receives from Spawn_of_Chaos
Borg7of10 Sends to Jimmyp4, receives from Apache62
Because if I just send and receive from apache, its pritty much what I do now anyways, and it's not really a big iportal meet if you only trade with 1 person.
 
Ok I like that idea better!
Jimmyp4 Sends to kcdowndey, receives from borg
Kcdowdey sends to spawn_of_chaos, receives from Jimmyp4
Spawn_of_Chaos97 sends to Apache62, receives from Kcdowdey
Apache62 Sends to borg, receives from Spawn_of_Chaos
Borg7of10 Sends to Jimmyp4, receives from Apache62
Do it like that!
 
So it's one big fat loop. I like it!

One thing though, I'm thinking about either setting up iPortals to go to each person directly or having it so I can send out of either end of the yard. As the middle sorter, I probably should be able to send both directions.

I mean, real trains don't go in only one direction, do they?

Everyone sends and recieves one layout in either direction. So in other words...(getting more and more complicated, let's see if I can work this out)


Jimmyp4 sends to Kcdowdy and Borg7of10, recieves from Kcdowdy and Borg7of10

Kcdowdy sends to Spawn_of_Chaos97 and Jimmyp4, recieves from Spawn_of_Chaos97 and Jimmyp4

Spawn_of_Chaos97 sends to Apache62 and Kcdowdy, recieves from Apache62 and Kcdowdy

Apache62 sends to Spawn_of_Chaos and Borg7of10, recieves from Spawn_of_Chaos and Borg7of10

Borg7of10 sends to Jimmyp4 and Apache62, recieves from Jimmyp4 and Apache62


That should work, just make sure all your iPortals have both a recieving ID and a send to directive.

My fingers hurt now...(just woke up)

I can only send to one person, and receive from one. My northbound line doesn't connect to my yard, and I'm honestly not prepared to redo everything to add another portal. Also, For tonight atleast, I Mainly will only be able to load up trains sent to me, and will rarley be able to send out my own. I didn't have enough time to do a proper yard, so I'm limited to stopping the AI trains that drive through, and taking cars off them. :(
 
I guess i'll try to use iprtal for once, it says i nee my trainz to be hooked up with planet auran, is that the same thing as being connected ot the DLS? If it is i'll be using that new UP turbine on DLS (make sure you download the extra tender) the route i have no clue, any good ideas?

The turbine can handel logn frieghts (100 cars or more)
 
i'm confused how does this work, can someone exsplain? What do i do to get in this meet up? How do i get my Turbine to work with this iportal meeting?
 
Ok i still don't knwo what rout ei am gonna use and am stilla little confused but 9 times out of 10 i am gonna be hauling coal. Scrathc that i am probably goign to be using the UP cima division.
 
Oh and yay my idea is in!

Borg, just add a portal at the other end and give it a recieving address. Also, make it send to one of the two ppl you've been assigned. Make the other portal, the one you've already got, have a DIFFERENT recieving address as well as sending to the other person. Problem solved!

And Kcdowdy...Sorry! I was going with what Jimmyp4 posted!
