After more than 2 weeks of attempting to 'fix' the existing database, I'm out of luck and (I guess) I'm either starting all over rebuilding from scratch or abandoning Trainz all together and finding a new 'time waster' in my life. I have (literally) hundreds of hours worth of routes that I built and assets that I've accumulated from the DLS and from routes and rolling stock that I have purchased over the years that ar--at least at the moment-- lost. The thought of all the tedious work of finding those assets and dealing with all the download and missing asset issues again has me overwhelmed from even starting at this point.
I can still SEE the old database, but when I attempt to build a .cdp file from the routes that I built, I just get a strange collection of random 'stuff' on the route at the new location, but more assets are missing than visible.
Since I could never determine which asset had the issue that caused the entire thing to crash in the first place, I have been hesitant to move content since (I presume?) that random corrupt asset would have the same impact on the new data path that I have created and I would be right back to square one again?
Other than painstakingly downloading each one of those assets again...one by one...and starting all over...are there any shortcuts to expedite this process and make it easier? Just wanted to seek the collective wisdom of the group before deciding to proceed to abandon ship on Trainz altogether. I'm really frustrated at this point.
Thank you in advance!
