Perhaps you can lead it around to the PvP maze. Will save some people a load of ice farming.

I found where the entrance is on the live map and that a good bit away and I've already built some of the rail and like I said before it goes north and I cant't take it all down then start all over again going south unless I can get a lot of spruce and I can't do all that myself

Corey i am switching to Jungle Wood instead of Spruce for the Tracks as you can get alot more in a shorter space of time(4 Jungle Saplings to create a Large Jungle Tree gives alot of wood). We can use Spruce to indicate where the redstone torches are instead of the Jungle Wood.

The Skyrail will continue to go to New Spawn/Spawn but I will not be able to try to build more from Monday-Thursday since I've got important stuff going on then, so I am looking for people to help with the construction of this, so if you want to help reply saying I'm interested or I'll help or something that let's me know you want to help and if you've been allowed to help and don't know what your doing ask Stucuk (since me and him are building it) if he's on the server or ask me on this thread mkay

Re: Skyrail project, READ!! please

Any wood would do. Jungle is the easiest to get in large numbers (As you can use 4 Jungle Saplings to create a large jungle tree).
Rails are needed the most out of all resources(as well as Powered Rails).
We're about half way between old spawn and new spawn. Though thats not with rails, just the wood the rails go on.
We're making up the route as we go based on what user builds are currently around. We try to stay away from builds where possible(Though some people have built under the skyrail. We have never built on top of someones build. People are free to build under the skyrail as long as there is at least 10 blocks distance between the bottom of the skyrail and a users build).
@Corey: I have simplified the Maintanance Walkway. Future bits of it are 2 blocks lower and in the middle of the 2 rail lines. This means less wood is needed for it and because its lower we can walk directly under the blocks which the Redstone Torches are attached to.

Now I'm thinking we should wait until we get closer to New Spawn then get a big enough plot round the outskirts of New spawn to build a station the plot would have to be big to make the station big but the station will be in the sky like the other one so on the ground in the plot we'll just build like a staircase up or if we could get a lot of pistons we could build a elevator.... what yas think about that idea?

Cobblestone Factories powered by pistons are effected by lag. The water/lava don't always cause Cobblestone(Not sure if its the pistons or the water/lava) between the piston retracting and extending. I created one at the old spawn (Operated by a button so it doesn't impact the server) which causes it to generate cobblestone 3 times (Basically like pressing the button 3 times) and it always does at least 1 row but it doesn't always do the 2nd or 3rd.
So piston elevators may not work perfectly on a server. With singleplayer you won't have really any lag between server and client as you are both.

We have reached spawn the whole structure of the sky rail isn't finished so we'll finish the whole structure of the rail first. I'll try to design a station I'll sketch it then build it in creative cause I've got a rough idea of it or if you have an idea or something just say it. So we'll leave the New Spawn station to last cause theres no point building one when the whole structure of the skyrail isn't finished

Re: Skyrail project, READ!! please

Don't use levers. Redstone Torches go under the rails(Don't know if a lever would work under the rail). With the new spawn end i changed the design so it doesn't need a walkway, but its the same system as used on the bits which have a walkway. Where you have a block in the middle of the tracks with redstone torches either side of it(Under the rails). Just destroy one of the line blocks, place a redstone torch on the middle block and then replace the line.
Glowstone isn't a good idea as the rail is very long and you would need a large amount of it. Torches are better as you can get alot of them easily.
P.S You can get away without having Powered Rails so often. At the old spawn end Corey got away with large distances between them.

FWIW it may be worth using more powered rails than strictly nessecery, otherwise you may get unmanned carts left on the track in places. Of course on the uphill gradients empty carts will probably roll back and can be "filtered out" that way.
I've been playing Tekkit too long to really comment on Vanilla rail rules but I seem to recall that for manned carts with a good launch you could have 8 or more regular rails between boosts but for unmanned carts any more than 5 was likely to make the cart roll to a halt.
Also if you do hit a stopped cart on a well powered track you'll probably just push it ahead of you, whereas on a less well powered track you'll roll to a halt.

The optimal spacing for powered rails in singleplayer is 38. Multiplayer is very different of course. With a personal rail i had no problems with one every 15 blocks. The skyrail in oldworld uses one every 13 iirc
I'm ok with any value but i guess we should set one value to use before starting to build the rail. The powered ones, at least. Normal rails can be placed beforehand ofc

After talkin with corey i just settled with a 19 spacing (one powered every 20 blocks). Seems to work well so far, for me at least. Only about 200-300 blocks left to power on the oldspawn side. Once that's done i guess we need some beta testing.

Just placed the last few powered rails. Testrun north worked fine Yay! South direction i had one issue with the station in the middle near oldspawn. Cart did brake too late and i had to exit and replace the cart to continue. Other than that it worked fine too.
Does anyone have a particular bad/laggy connection? I'd love to hear if it works under such conditions too.

Why not? You can do the work from the walkway. Just place the middle row and then destroy the walkway its how i was doing it.
Destroying the glass at the oldspawn one (Not the actual station glass just the lines, will be easy.

If we ever do make more the best idea would be to convert a section of track into a "Switching Station". Where you could then goto multiple destinations. Somewhere where there is no other builds. That way it could go in any direction without hitting someones build and the existing stations wouldn't need to be modified.
To keep them simple, if ever built it should be where you get out of the minecart and place it on another set of tracks if you want to switch or press a button to continue. Rather than some complex system.

The "Dismount and join a new rail" system is the easiest to set up and for people to use. Just make sure there is sufficient land around each stop point to allow the player to dismantle their cart from their old track without them loosing it over the side.

Is anyone having a lag a couple of meters away from new spawn station when using rails? I wanted to try it yesterday and both by foot and by cart there was an uber lag for me near new spawn station despite riding perfectly fine all the way from old spawn till that point

same here. the lags seems to be mostly 1-2 chunks at z ~= -870. A bit northwest of the skyrail station someone started a sheepfarm with ~100 sheeps. Maybe that causes it when the sheep chunks are loaded/unloaded. Maybe. It's ~110 blocks away so the distance would fit.
Did set /warp addyreport there if a mod wants to check that out
