Iportal run

[Dreyfus]

I guess i am going to use my route I just made today
it has two iportals one named Dreyfus other named Dreyfus receiving, or something like that. it has two mainlines with multi industries on each line. what do i do now? Also i added the turbine to that session so when i go inf river do i already have i trainz chat up or what do i do?

 

[Mouse84]

The iportal server seems to be having issues today

 

[borg7of10]

My engines are gassed up and ready to go, I'm awaiting further instruction.

I will try and get some screenshots in aswell.

 

[Dreyfus]

I still don't get how this iportal stuff works. And trainz chat too. I have never used it but i don't understand it. I added two portals to my SP 4 seasons route i made, so can i use it in a iportal metting thing?

 

[Spawn_of_Chaos97]

This is sad...we set up this great meet and not only did Kcdowdy NEVER SHOW UP, the iPortal server is being DUMB tonight.

 

[Dreyfus]

I would have came if someone would have took the time to help me.

(i just uploaded my SP 4 seasons route)
It is based on four divisions of the old SP.

Shasta division
Coast division
Sacramento division
San Joaquin division

No kidden. I lost: Spawn_of_Chaos97, borg7of10, and Apache62 because the server died. Oh well lets try again tommarrow night! (Maybe the server will work better)

 

[Dreyfus]

*HINT* If someone took th etime ot help me i will be there.

 

[borg7of10]

Ya, it wasn't that great, since the server messed up for everyone (except me lol).
I got a video and a couple screenshots though.
Ignore the skipping in the video, Im limited to 30 seconds per video, and I merged 3 to make one.

The video, jimmy sent that engine, it was supposed to have cars behind it, but he decided to blow the couplers on it instead and just send the engines.

That was funny! I was watching It head for the portal and then went back to do some yard work. Then I went back to check on it, suprise, theres the cars but no engine!

 

[Jimmyp4]

Just a few things to work on
1. IF YOUR NOT GOING TO BE THERE TELL US (Kcdowdy)
2. We need to make up a thing of engines we are going to be using
3. We should think about posting your iportal info on the fourms here instead of ingame!

 

[Dreyfus]

I'll be there tomorrow if someone tells me one thing.

What to i put in the iportals info? The nam eof the iportal and such

I will be using the NS indy district route.

I can take coal, and i think stacker trains.

 

[Jimmyp4]

ok dreyfus

That help?

I had an Idea!
If I could be connected to Borg7of10 and Spawn_of_Chaos97, I could solve the equipment problem! I could download both equipment from UP that Spawn uses and then CN equipment that Borg uses.
Mccall yard I could reconfiqure so that it is as far as UP goes before trading its train over to CN to continue onto canada. I would basicly swap the MP (Motive power) and pass it on! Sound good you two?

I need what kind of Equipment Borg7of10 and Spawn_of_Chaos97 are going to be using.

For UP I'm getting
The 8500HP Gas Turbine-Electric locomotive
Union Pacific DD35 A unit #84 58377:2
Union Pacific DD35 B Unit #84b 58377:3
Wheres that updated DD40 at Spawn?

Tell me what you guys are using!

[Jimmyp4]

I was thinking maybe we could start earlyer tomarrow. Maybe about 4PM MST
Time
Pacific 3PM-Whenever
Mountain 4PM- Whenever
Central 5PM-Whenever
Eastern 6PM-Whenever
whadda think?

 

[Spawn_of_Chaos97]

I like 3 to whenever!

You want my DD70AX and its offspring?

DD70AX
GP78-2
SW7200

CloakedGhosts's DD40AX is at http://trainz.luver.net

And uh if you can't get them to show up...be sure you installed the DD70AX first! All three use default models with custom sounds and a single custom enginespec!

Coincidentally, if anyone has a good enginesound that sounds like it's some powerful magnetic thingy, please please PLEASE send it to me!

 

[borg7of10]

My main engines will be the 3 Dash 9's listed, aswell as the following 5 units
http://trainzproroutes.com/downloads/index.php?act=category&id=57
Those 3 SD50f's
http://trainzproroutes.com/downloads/index.php?act=category&id=58
And those 2 SD60f's
http://trainzproroutes.com/downloads/index.php?act=view&id=166
They require those trucks.

I propose we only use built in rolling stock, but have custom engines, that way we all won't have to go nuts downloading lots of rolling stock.

This, I'm sure, would save a lot of us a lot of time and heartache. I'm all for it.

I'm still angling to be available tonight, and I'm digging out my TRS2006 disk now for the reinstall, but I also have a college project that I'm working on at the same time. I will try to be on at least for the first hour or so, after that I can't guarantee how long I can play.

I'll have to find me one or two good-looking custom engines, if nothing else I can use the built-in steamers to TRS2006 as they look mighty fine too

 

[Jimmyp4]

Hey Spawn_of_Chaos97. could you upload those engines somwhere else, that website won't let me download. Trainz-luvr appears to be down too

borg7of10: I'm in the process of downloading

Edit:trainz luvr isn't down. You have an E in there adress!

OK, Ive got the DD40AX, just waiting for trainzproroutes to send me an email
I also now have the CN engines.

I think I will just play hostler and swap engines from you two

Heres what we could do today

Spawn_of_chaos97: sends to: Jimmyp4/Dreyfus. Recieves from, jimmyp4/dreyfus
Jimmyp4: Sends to:Borg7of10/spawn_of_chaos97. Recieves from, Borg7of10/spawn_of_chaos97
Borg7of10: Sends to: Jimmyp4/atsfrr3000. Recieves from, Jimmyp4/atsfrr3000
atsfrr3000: Sends to: Borg7of10/Dreyfus. Recieves from, Borg7of10/dreyfus
Dreyfus: sends to: spawn_of_chaos97/atsfrr3000. Recieves from, Spawn_of_chaos97/atsfrr3000

Hows that?

One quick thing, DO NOT send trains unless you have gotten clearence from the other person! This will free things up and prevent clogs
