Elithian Rapid Transit Network! (ERTN)

[thunderpants]

Okay, after a brief converstaion between me and Aegonian, we have decided to build a minecart railway...


I've started on a Creeper Condos Connection, but we decided we need other to volunteer to there companies to be added to the line... (I'm looking at your Swashbuckling Duckling)

Current Stops:
Creeper Condos
Creon Village
Swashbuckling Duckling




Note: This Youtube user has the right idea for a railway, except ours are undergound!

Rebuilt, more effective, station 1 is smaller!

Server Crash, all work lost... I can rebuild station 1 more effectively though!

I'll start making the entrance to the Minecart track, but how are you going to know where where to dig, so you can make the railroad?

Well I know the art of making tunnels...

When the rail-link will be connected to you, We'll need you to stand, where you want the station, and we'll dig in your direction... Then build the tracks once the tunnel is done!

Trust me I've got it all figured out, including the arrivals system...


That and Aegonian and Ryiin may edit the Track in...


Also, My idea for track design is the track goes inside an obsidian sleeve, with the occasional bulge (top row move out one) so that a glowstone block can be put in the gap. This means that people don't dig into the rail system by accident...


Oh and once this and the duckling is done, could someone do tours of the map? And post them on youtube... You would have to necessarily speak just post narrations in boxes... We could each do a tour of a different bit if we wanted to...


I thought just as a way to showcase our creations...

Actually, I'm going to make the tunnels with MCedit, 1000x5x5 dimensions is done in 1 second.
The railtrack is made in-game.

You guys basically already discovered all my youtube ideas, lava with chickens, tour on the server etc.

Woot! I can lay Rail tracks! But what about the obsidian sleeve idea?


I'm currently working on a compact arrival system that actually works...


I've made one, but it will require me to do some editing and its rather large...



They're will have to be some rules in case something goes wrong...

I don't think the system should be very high-tech.
Though you need to test everything in SMP, because everything is very different in multiplayer.

I will and it wont be!

This is a great idea! I'll try to start to do something when I'll have access to Minecraft.

Great!

As for the name, maybe we could use "Elithian Rapid Transit Network", or ERTN?

[Aegonian]

Nice name, I'll vote for that one!

[thunderpants]

'Urtin it is...

I mean ERTN it is!

[Veoline]

Okay, so now we have a RTN! But is it even in the Elithian server?

Nope the Co-op sever which is our most active server and most built server atm...


I think it should be our rp server...

No longer relevant.
