Is it possible to create a "load-all-cargo" transfer point?

Unread postby GreatNortherner » Fri Apr 17, 2009 2:07 pm

Colleagues,

As Richard Ham's freight docks have shown us, it is possible to set up transfer points that will load a certain type of pre-defined cargo (a crate, for example) to any railcar that stops by.

That made me wonder... could it be possible to do it the other way around? I am thinking about a generic interactive loader ("transfer point"), one that would not load only one type of cargo, but literally ANY type of cargo -- whichever is included in the car's BIN file's "cargo component" section. In other words, a transfer point that triggers that car's "cargo component" when the T-key is pressed, no matter if that cargo is coal or a crate.

I did look into the BIN files, but all I could come up with so far was to technically replicate Dick's freight docks. At this point I'm really confused what else to do with the code in the BIN files. !*hp*! Does anybody have any ideas if my idea/wish/dream/utopia above could somehow be realized?

Thanks!

In the Developer Notes, see Section 9 on Blueprints . This has notes on the loading blueprints.....

Where do you find the "Developer Notes"?

Go to downloads here....

http://railsimamerica.com/f-l.html

Second from the bottom you will see docs.pdf. Download this - a file where i combined all the developer docs.

I combined them to make it easier to find stuff - use CTL F when Adobe is open and you can then do a text search....
