Montana Rail Link MP V2 OP-Session's (This aint your daddy's circle burning)

[JIb228]

Can't wait! This is going to be awesome. I haven't finished downloading yet but I hope that RS3 is in Helena/Great Falls.

Thanks for implementing some Great Northern locomotives (or loco, have one downloaded, don't know if there are 2 in MRL) Jib. I saw the GN RS3 in the dependency list and I think I probably became the happiest railroader in MRL.

I only put in the RS3, and I think I stuck it up in Helena as the yard switcher/road switcher for locals. And I listen to my people. If any one every wants to see some thing in MRL, I will try to pout it in. With in reason of course. I mean, yea there might be a nice looking Shay, but I am not going to add any NG track just to run one locomotive. There are more GN locomotives on the DLS, but I felt none of them would look good in session. Mostly paint shed repaints or F units. And the one GN steam locomotive I did find is faulty.

I love the DLS and I love that all these content creators are sharing their stuff with us all on it. But I must admit I do get a bit bummed out when I cant find some thing for a particular road. (GN, GTW, PMR)

IF, there is ever another version of MRL, a caboose to go with that GN RS3 would be mcguirel's Extended-Vision Caboose-Great Northern <kuid2:72938:100839:1>. That is the only accurate GN caboose I found that works in TS12.

If I knew how to create content, I would just create a whole line of Great Northern content. That is my favorite railroad and there isn't much of it on the DLS that actually works in TS12 or is not faulty. It is rather disappointing.

@GN, Ill have a look into it. For the moment, I am taking a step back from MRL and working on another route. Untill some major bugs show up on MRL I don't intend to do too much more with it for a bit. Yes I will be working on it still, making improvements there and there. But to the side burner for MRL.


In other MRL news, At 6pm Eastern time I will be starting up the MRL Server. Once again it will be password protected. Hopping on the MRL Team Speak server will get you the password. Things to remember. Do not leave your train on the mainline, rest all main line turnout, keep the power plants fed with coal, and dont try to take all the locomotives in a yard. I have different consist set up of different sizes.

Would it be because Planet Auran is down? Mabe it can,t access your details. Just a guess.

 

[trigg099]

hi, i had my filter setup wrong in contents manager:wave: now i can see the files im getting them ok thanks for help

 

[JIb228]

Looks like iChat is down, meaning that MP sessions wont work. I am taking this time to make a quick update to MRL. Found a few bugs that I want to iron out real quick. Update should be live by Friday.

 

[JIb228]

V2.4 is on the DLS now, and the iChat servers are back up. Meaning that MP sessions are possible. I have some running to do, and lots of work on Thursday. I might have a MP session up on Friday. I am thinking of upgrading my graphics card on my computer, as it is I have just a built in Intel one and want to beef it up to some thing Nvidia. Ill post an update on when the next week long session will be. Im thinking July 1st.

Hey Jib, I was testing out a few things today and found that the Logan industry is doing the same thing as before. It's taking control of the train to unload but locking and causing a stack dump that will not let me take the train back.
Here are some screenshots

 

[colourlight]

I,m hosting a session now and will be open for as long as possible.

 

[JIb228]

Ill take a look at it. But I know nothing of code, or where to start when it comes to those stack dumps. All I can think is that it has some thing to do with they way the industry is configured.

If I could, I'd us Proto Lars Industrails(PLI), but those dont configure the same as the multiple industry news(MIN) do. If I could set up PLI's like MIN's, in that I could tell it what to load and unload I would use those. But PLI's have a preset selection of commodities, and they are not what most of the industries on the route need.

Id join you Color, but I have to work....all day....and my laptop here at work can not run Trainz any more.

Hi Jib, I can confirm what Shadow said concerning Beatties Min in Logan. Marlo,s fine furniture in Billings is also broke and like the first one must not be used. I have no idea what the cause is. Ony solution I can think of is delete and replace the MIN in the next Route and session version. I do know the Coal Loader in logan works fine and the Container Terminal in Billings load containers but that is all I can confirm so far.

 

[JIb228]

Ill add those to my FIX-IT list.

The containers should unload in Livingston. Shadow was working on a list of what is where and where what goes.

 

[Shadow-D]

I have a finished copy in MS Word format ie .doc ready to go. If you give me your email address I'll send it right out to you Jib...

 

[Shadow-D]

double post

 

[JIb228]

You should have my Gmail address from when you sent you cabeese. But if need be I can send it to you again. Ill see about fixing Marlos and and Beatties. I think I'll flat out replace them. And I test them again and again before I upload it. Thats the problem with MRL, its so big its hard for me to test every thing before uploading. And it too big to e-mail. So it comes down to doing these sessions and seeing what works, and what fails.

 

[Shadow-D]

On it's way now...

Hello. Looking to join in on a multi session but I'm having trouble. I believe I have all the content except the MRL 2.4 update. The download helper seems to stall on this file. I have been trying for the past 24 hours and it just won't go. Is there anyway else to get this last update? It is listed as 45 mb. Not sure how much of it I get before it dies and the dlh lists a speed of 0.0 Bps. Have restarted, stopped and started, let it run all night and nothing. Any ideas on what I can try. I do have a first class ticket.

Thanks.
