| 15:11 | Tora the Explorer (toraonna.thane) | snortles |
| 15:11 | Joe Foxx (joelucas0413) | Hi there, I'm wanting to get a monorail working in Zootropolis (my region). I have a free train script, but can't get anything to work. Whenever there's time, I'd appreciate some assistance. |
| 15:12 | Joe Foxx (joelucas0413) | I know it's a broad question, but I know next to nothing about scripting |
| 15:12 | Ember (emberell) | Hm, I'm not muchly familiar with vehicle scripts, though I know there are some walkthroughs on that available inworld |
| 15:12 | Ember (emberell) | May I send you some resources, Joe? |
| 15:12 | Joe Foxx (joelucas0413) | Of course! Any assistance at all is completely welcome. |
| 15:12 | Second Life | Items successfully shared. |
| 15:12 | Joe Foxx (joelucas0413) | Thank you! This will help a lot! |
| 15:13 | Ember (emberell) | I've sent you a link to the inworld tutorial for learning to script vehicles - which hopefully will help! But if that's not offering something that works for you, I'll also heavily recommend asking builder's brewery - they ahve some of the most skilled builders and scripters on the grid who can help you get started |
| 15:13 | Second Life | Items successfully shared. |
| 15:13 | Ember (emberell) | Their group is joinable inworld from the second landmark I provided you! |
| 15:14 | Joe Foxx (joelucas0413) | Pawesome! Thanks! |
| 15:14 | Ember (emberell) | I hope those two things help yo uget it working. It's always SO nice to have trains about inworld! |
| 15:14 | Joe Foxx (joelucas0413) | My train is similar to the one you use here, but on a monorail in the style of a Japanese bullet train. |
| 15:14 | Ember (emberell) | Ok! Other questions? (while I keep looking for other links to send Joe here) |
| 15:15 | Ember (emberell) | You might reach out to Jorge Serapis about the train system here, though he is often rather busy I think he helps maintain it, and might know some more resources to help |
| 15:16 | Larky (larkylouz) | I think Wordsmith was working on a train script for a while. And you could try contacting Miro at the Firestorm sims. They have a monorail that I think he made. |
| 15:16 | Ember (emberell) | This wiki has some good links also: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Virtual_Railway_Consortium |
| 15:17 | Ember (emberell) | as well as a link to the inworld group, the Virtual Railway Consortium |
| 15:17 | Joe Foxx (joelucas0413) continues to click every link and accept every item Dean Ember tosses his way | |
| 15:17 | Ember (emberell) | :-) |
| 15:17 | Larky (larkylouz) | The trains in Caledon were scripted by someone named Shetty. I've never seen them around or met them, but have heard the name for years in connection with our trains/ CATS, etc |
| 15:17 | Ember (emberell) | Sadly, Mr. Aretheus isn't around any more to comment on it |
| 15:18 | Ember (emberell) | Other questions? Announcements, topics, anything? |
| 15:21 | Ember (emberell) | Hearing nothing, I'm tempted to wrap up for the day, sned you onto an early holiday! |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hope to see you at the dance |
| 15:22 | Ember (emberell) | I hope everyone has a wonderful time, stay warm (or cool!), and be sure to relax! |
| 15:22 | Tora the Explorer (toraonna.thane) | with bells on, as they say, mz andrea! |
| 15:22 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Attempted bedtime for me |
| 15:22 | Joe Foxx (joelucas0413) bows "Thank you all so much! Hopefully my trains can come online soon! | |
| 15:22 | Larky (larkylouz) | Thanks all. Do take care. Sleep Well, Mr. Elfbiter |
| 15:22 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Hold the fort |
| 15:22 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Be seeing you |
| 15:22 | Aury (aurysa) | thank you Deans, take care everyone! |
