Why Can't I complete a Session?????
- Thread starter tallboy22
- Start date
I guess I'm new to this game so let me check my assumptions. I was assuming that at the end of a session something would say like mission complete or something? The first session I did was Avery-Milwauke Road Transcontinental. I got to the end and nothing happened. ? The second session I did was the Holly Subdivision-Midday manifest. I had two things happened, one is when I.m doing a session and I save and exit, when I return I can no longer access the driver help to see what I'm spouse to do. Second, durring this mission I got to the end and nothing happened...any suggestions?
Depends on whether you are a Prius-driving quiche-eater
Hi tallboy --
I can't speak for sessions constructed by others, but you might like to see the comment I made about one of my sessions in Post #3 here:

Ditto what Phil has posted. Sessions are created by guys like Phil and me. We don't charge you a dime for them. We get to do them the way we want to and if you don't like them, then find another to run.
My sessions last from 2 hours to 7 days, and when you are done, you know it. No need to state the obvious. Rather than complain, you might see who created the session and send them a thank you note for all the work they put into it.
Or better yet, create your own sessions. Then you can give yourself as many kudos as you want when it is finished.

No I appreciate 100% all the routes you guys do. Its what makes this game such an experience! I've had several problems with computers in the past trying to use this game so I guess you could say I'm paranoid about making sure everything works well since I just bought a new computer, mostly one that works for this game. Do you guys have any guides or anything on how to go about making sessions etc?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Making Sessions is not that difficult.
First you should be aware of how the driver commands work. Play around with them and figure out how they could be used to make a train do stuff. You can do this in driver by just adding various commands as you go.
Then you need to get familiar with the Session Rules. There is a manual for using them. Check your Trainz Doc file folder. These are like programming tools. They can make decisions based on various factors that you can define. Knowing a little about programming helps with these. To get a better understanding of how they work, look at the Rules in several existing Sessions.
Now you need an idea of what you want the session to include. Keep your first one simple. First plan the session - what trains need to come onto the route and when and where will they go. Do some playing around with various ways to make this happen.
Once you get everything working the way you want it ands have it fine tuned, then you can create an HTML asset that will allow you to present a help screen and other pop-up screens to guide, encourage or harrass the player when certain events occur.
Remember, you can best learn this fine art by looking at what others have done it and by then trying it yourself. If you get stuck, you can always post here with a question.
Good Luck with this one of many facets of Trainz.
