non-working un-portal

[signalnorth]

Sometimes I have no problem in setting up a working non-portal which continues to work fine , at other times I just cannot get a new portal to emit a train ever. Is this a common problem? If so what is the most common cause for this failure to get them to work? Can anyone help please it is driving me crazy!!!

Have you configured the portal/unportal/iPortal, by clicking the asset using the buildings tab ? button, or the add session rules button, and named the two (or more) portals, and told trains what to do when entering/leaving a portal, and how often to emit a train ?

I have never used an un-portal, but I prefer iPortals over portals, as you can send someone else a train, or send a train to one of your other routes iPortal.

So two people in the same house, on two separate PC's, can multiplayer together, and send trains to each other.

The most common reason is the rolling stock or driver specified in the portal is/are no longer accessible to driver. First thing to do is check that the vehicles and drivers called out in the portal are available in content manager, and have not disappeared due to a database mishap. Next is to tell us which kuid your using.

Another thing to check is that the portal is not producing and consuming at the same time. Portals created using Un-Portal 2 especially have this problem.

I solved this! Had to adjust upwards the number of of the' number trains on system' box (I think that's the wording of it ) and then they worked fine.
