Random consists placement at scenario start

[Pendolino]

I am working on a session involving a local freight setting and picking cars at various spurs along the line. In order to make the session more unpredictable (and - in my opinion - more interesting) I would like to insert a certain randomness as regards to the type of cars to be delivered and picked up.

I have somewhat managed to resolve this by using the "un-portal" rule:

- the arriving local is chosen at random among 8 different consists entering via a dedicated trackmark
- I have placed a trackmark at every spur, and at game start a random consist is emitted, hauled by a loco with the following orders "decouple loco"+"delete train".

All this works quite well, but doese anybody know if there is some less baroque way to implement such random placement?

Hi,

If I'm not mistaken, Trainzproroute.org has SCS2006 available and it has the ability to randomly place consists on a route at different times during a session or at the start. Also, the LARS Interchange Track may be able to be programmed to do what you want.

Caio,

William

Hi, William,

thanks for your advice, it looks just like what I need. I'll check trainzproroutes as soon as possible.

Greetings and many thanks again :wave:

And it will work only with TRS2006+SP1. The rule can be loaded on the DLS

What does SCS2006 stand for? Subway Construction Set 2006?

Merci beaucoup, CBorg ...I frantically searched Trainproroutes for hours, finding a lot of tips and tricks about SCS2006, but I was not able to find where to download it!

It looks like an impressive asset: did you use it to realise your sessions?

Greetings

Sorry about that Pendolino, They must have uploaded it to the DSL since I got it from them many years ago. They are a bunch of sessions done with it on the DSL. Search for SCS2006 in the description area.

There are rumors of an updated "Pro" version that might be available soon.

Just a word to say that SCS2006 works fine with french release of TRS2006 without the SP1 (just have to change the trainz-build value in the config.txt files)
Nevertheless, it seems there is some problems with TRS2007_FR that is intended to be TRS2006_FR+SP1 ... strange isn't it ???
