Quick Portal Manager SE?

[ksnitzen]

Please, I'm asking your indulgence, as this must be a simple question, but how do I download QPMSE? I read about it, and have tried several times, and it just shows up in my download cart, but I can't seem to get any further from there. I need to get this downloaded and installed in my computer but it just sits there. I imagine the whole thing is laughing at me...

And, what I really want to do is get the portals on my routes to DO something. As of now, they will certainly swallow up a train that goes into them, but I'd like to get my portals to generate a train every so often and have them go somewhere. I haven't been able to figure out how to make this happen in quite some months now.

Thanks,

Hi Earl

It's actually called 'Central Portal Control' which is built-in. It can be activated to control all your portals from the one source, just by going to the Main Menu in Surveyor and selecting 'Edit Session'.

From there, go to 'Add' and select 'Central Portal Control' and click the checkmark.

Then you can 'edit' it and add all your 'Entry' portals. Make sure you 'name' all your portals so you can identify them readily.

Only enter your Driver commands from this source. Do not then 'edit' the individual portals with additional commands as this will interfere with what you achieved through Central Portal Control.

Good luck.
Cheers

Thanks, Roy. That kinda gives me the idea of how to use portals. I've been struggling with them for a while now. It just always seemed like I should be able to use them to generate some traffic.

Are comprehensive instructions available on the 2 flavors of this item?

Cheers Roy. I've learned something new today.

"Quick Portal Manager Standard Edition" is the version from pguy and is more comprehensive than Central Portal Control. I only use the FTP download and have no trouble downloading this. All of the instructions needed are in the WIKI at http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/Quick_Portal_Manager
