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

[colourlight]

I tried joining Mel,s session after I got home from work last night and, surprisingly, I was able to join. Just when you think Multiplayer can,t get any stranger, it does. About Jib,s session. Basically I,m on a crap shift until next tuesday night but I will be able to join after work on friday no later than 11 pm UK time for a couple of hours or so.

hi

My session was running for a long time, but last night, I think windows restarted my computer because of an update.
Maybe I start a session again, if nobody else does. Or is it better to wait untill the new version is on dls?

I was thinking the date for the session be on Friday the 19th. That way there is more time to get people interested and it also seems that it allows 1 or 2 people to join because of schedules.

Melanie, you could probably just restart the session with the version you last used, as not a whole lot of people would have the new version immediately.

I tried to join lastnight but I ran into some trouble. I didn't really look into it and I am sure I can figure it out as I know it's on my end.
I had the "Not on DLS" error. Didn't feel like getting in to it last night so I'll look at it today.

I cant see any session in this route. And it is really hard to follow what people write here. SO if someone want to open a session and arrange a session at a specific time, we should know time in an easier way. Maybe we can add our friends in msn or yahoo to connecct each other?

Well, we actually have a Teamspeak Server that we use. The server IP is 108.91.138.12.

My latest version 2.9d is now available for Downloading via Content Manager. Thought for the day.....
My last session was going quite well for a few days until suddenly none of my regulars could join the session and I have been racking what few brains I have to work out what had changed to make this happen and I have come up with a theory. The Spiders Web appeared with a reference to some faulty boxcars, a fault I was already aware of and I,m wondering if that had something to do with it. Typing this I just remembered that a couple of extra drivers appeared during the session as a result of derailments which is something else to be considered. Strangely, when the problem occured the re-rail Portal was working ok with no faults in the red spider. Ayway that will be something to watch out for in the next session I host. This is likely to be the middle of next week after I finish my present shift.

One thing I've noticed, Colourlight, is you are giving your update routes a different kuid number. Doing this is starting to get confusing for people. Right now if you search for "Montana Rail Link 12 MP" on the DLS you will see 8 kuids.
Montana Rail Link 12 MP v2.9 (jib228)
Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9 (jib228)
Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9b (colourlight)
Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9c (colourlight)
Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9d (colourlight)
and then the originals by Jib
Montana Rail Link 12 MP v1
Montana Rail Link 12 MP v1.5 (Route and Session)

You can see how this can get confusing for some especially for those who may not be following this thread or even know its here.
I recommend, starting with this version, you keep the same kuid but make the change to the name. This will give you a kuid of...
<KUID:286951:100021> Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9d
<KUID:286951:100021:1> Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9e
<KUID:286951:100021:2> Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9f
etc...
Doing this will force everyone to keep up to date through the Content Manager as they will see a box with a ribbon and an arrow that indicates an update to the object is needed. You should also pull your other versions off the DLS so people dont get confused.

 

[Shadow-D]

Also...
The DLS will take care of the kuid for you. If you upload a kuid that has the same number, the DLS will see that as an update and automaticly ad the :1, :2, etc. etc. etc.

The way I have been doing it Shadow is by going into CMP, right clicking on the asset, clicking "Create New Version," then editing, saving, committing, then saving to CDP, then upload via web page.

But do to a slight error some where in the system, I have had to make a whole new session. Its basically the same set up as my first one's, but I have used the changes to the industries that colour made. But the new session is called MRL Trainz OPSIG Session, and it should be in CMP soon.

Because of this, I will no longer be supporting or updating my original sessions Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9. If it shows up in CMP before 5 PM eastern time, -5 GMT, then I will be hosting a session on it today. If not then I will host a session on Montana Rail Link 12 MP Session v.2.9 ONLY if I get a few people to agree to show up. Meaning, if you want to run, sign up here by posting which job you want. Here is the job list:

Billings Yard Crew (Works Billings yard and the Auto Plant)
Billings Local Crew (Works both Billings Industrial areas)
Livingston Yard Crew (Makes up trains for Helena yard, Locals, and Billings Yard) (I'll be working Livingston)
Hellena Yard Crew (Makes up east bound trains and trains for the Greatfalls branch line)
Greatfalls branch line crew (Works Greatfalls)
Livingston Local Crew (Works all industries from Logan to Columbus)
Helena Local Crew (Works all industries from Helena to Logan)
Billings Local (Works all main line industries from Huntley to Columbus)
Manifest crew's (Run trains from main yard to main yard)

A note about Laurel Yard, its only a few miles form Billings but has no industries in it. Laurel will be used only if we get enough people to warrant it. If we have enough people Billings yard will become just and industrial yard, no main line trains will be made up from it or go to it. All trains leaving other yards for Billings will go to Laurel, where the Laurel crew make up transfer runs to and from Billings. I say this just to make things a bit more fun.

Ive put the jobs that are high priority in bold letters, and underlined the one(s) that have been called.

 

[colourlight]

Sign me up. I,ll take any job except Toilet Attendent. I anticipate joining the session between 10.30 and 11 pm UK time after work which is where I am right now

 

[colourlight]

No sign of JIb or his session., old or new. I guess he,s not putting one up.

I ended up not hosting as some family stuff came up, and a lack of people once again.

But this time I am letting you all know well in advanced that I will be hosting a session. Using the new session MRL Trainz OPSIG Session. I will put the session up around 1 pm Eastern time, -5 GMT. But I will only host this session if the jobs with * in front of them are claimed by people who can show up and work them. So please claim a job now, walk-ins will not be allowed track clearance until they have chosen or been assigned a job.

*Billings Yard Crew (Makes up trains for local industries, manifests and main line industries. Billings serves all industries from Huntley to Columbus.)
Billings Local Crew (Works both Billings Industrial areas) (Can have more then 1 local crew)
Livingston Yard Crew (Makes up trains for Helena yard, Locals, and Billings Yard. Livingston serves all industries from Columbus to Logan) (I'll be working Livingston)
*Helena Yard Crew (Makes up east bound trains and trains for the Greatfalls branch line and locals. Helena serves all industries from Logan to West End.)
Greatfalls branch line crew (Works Greatfalls)
Livingston Local Crew (Works all industries from Logan to Columbus) (Can have more then 1 local crew)
Helena Local Crew (Works all industries from Helena to Logan) (Can have more then 1 local crew)
Billings Local (Works all main line industries from Huntley to Columbus) (Can have more then 1 local crew)

A note about working yards. There are no set destinations for cars unless they are for a specific industry. So a loaded auto rack, no matter its road number, can be delivered any where that auto racks are unloaded. So when working a yard, use the driver command "Train Product info" to see what cars are loaded or not, and what they may be loaded with. Then use that information to decide where you want the car to go. If you don't have an industry to load a car you have, or one to unload a car, you may stick it on a manifest and ship it off else where to have it be some one elses problem. While this is un-ptrototypical, CMTM has yet to be made workable for MP as far as I know.

I'll take the billings yard crew.

Thanks for noting that, clears things up a bit as far as classifying. As for CMTM, I got an email from dap a few weeks ago saying that he might have the bugs worked out but havent heard anything back yet.

 

[JIb228]

Forgot to say the session will be on Friday at 1 pm eastern.

 

[vonhammer_87]

thats what I thought, I should be able to make it

 

[colourlight]

I make that 6pm UK Time. I can join at around 7pm

 

[GN1996]

I can join at whatever time I please that day (hopefully). I can be Helena dispatch if you need it as well.

Also, I saw one of your latest uploads in content manager and immediately downloaded it.............only to find out it has unknown dependencies. No MP sessions for that loco I guess.
