[Addon 2.0] ElectricRails 0.03e

Most appeciative, was only happening on server so just wanted to make sure I hadnt stuffed something.
-
For the Maglev stuff, i would remove the stone, use Refined iron and Magnetizers and increase the Output, for the realism ;p

22mins after request we get new version..LOL
Cool stuff and thx for maglev! You are awesome man!

Ok, balance is up to you guys.

You just catch me while I posting it. Description, formatting, bb-codes, preview button... you know. ))

1.Is "Third Rail" something more advanced then "Maglev Rail" as it support extreme voltage vs medium voltage for maglev?
2.Do i need to power every single support block directly, or do they transfer energy to each other? (so just every x block)
3.Those sparking effects are epic... i know this is stupid to even ask but... can you make it optional to spark randomly so you will get some kind of visual feeling those rails are powered and can harm you?I am not sure why you set version to 0.02.1 but this addon already fulfill my dreams. Hundred of people asked for maglev rails for railcraft or traincraft for months... now you came out of nowhere with such brilliant addon. Thank you.

No, I just read what people saying and try to satisfy it, well, more or less. Blaster asked for third rail and since it is based on electric rail it has same max input. SpwnX offered that magnets will accept MV by default, so it is. There probably should be some subtypes like HV magnets and constant magnet based on Neodymium magnets or something else, hovewer I don't want to add new ores, need to think about it.
2. No, only electric rails (tracks) do this. Third Rails and Maglev Rails don't transfer energy to each other, you need to power them from below - you may put batboxes for each of them, but I guess will want to simply put cable. ))

BTW if you simply made it continuous IC2 EnergyNet will eat all memory and stall. To avoid it you should separate it into sections with transformers. For fiber cables best way is to put transformer at each 40 block, that way you will also get rid of conduction lossess:
...
<< 39 cables >> << 39 cables >> ...3. It already done for electric rails, it just not so frequent because if you made long railway it will spam a lot of particles. Try to make linear way of electric rails up to horizon and power them in creative.
-
For neodymium magnets, rare earth extractors, using dirt/cobblestone and will take lots of them and energy to extract a piece "rare earth" which can be used to make magnets.

is anyone ever going to update this mod to 1.6.2/1.6.4 because it was by far one of the best rail mods in along time and im rather affraid im going to have to get rid of it when i update in afew days D'= bye bye half my worlds rail networks lol

It look like LostCoder is still around...i hope he didnt forget about this amazing mod. -
For your information, you just replied to a nearly 2 month old post.

Nope, I'm a bit busy. Currently working on "Rare Earth Extractor" that SpwnX suggested, I just recently got idea on how to do it in concept, and currently mostly tonemap textures: 17 rare earth materials x 6 items per material + 1 storage block = 119 textures in total, huh.
-
Great to hear that this mod has been revived. The rare earth idea sounds interesting. I've been designing a chemical expansion to IC2/GT to enable processing of ores from my mod Geologica (https://github.com/lawremi/PerFabricaAdAstra). This might be a point of collaboration, if you're interested.

Is there still conduction loss with the track? Normal IC2 cables don't
-
gts superconductor wire dont have any loss either, except gregorious has changed it

I don't know, I leave them as is. Player probably disable conduction losses at the core, so I guess they should be ignored. I however still recommend to place transformers as relay between segments, it may balance memory/cpu usage. Maybe I should add some kind of "capacitor" rails for that purpose? They however will be directed. Or I may not do this, so you will need to build some technically looking construction.
This might be a point of collaboration, if you're interested.
Well, I currently plan to "extract" from a stone/gravel (+rock materials from other mods), by the following scheme that I gathered from several internet sources, there however still a lot of question marks, that means I don't know what that material means or device exactly do. Or maybe I completely misunderstand something and it need to be done in different way. This is actually the only help I currently need.

I am so glad that this mod is back. <3 thanks

Awesome!
