Hello.
1. When kuid status is obsolete(zzzz) in cm, can I delete it.
2. Also I have about 39.000 "out of date" kuids in my "out-of-date" cm..., what is the best way deal with all of these assets.
Should I delete, update, leave it alone.
3. When cm mark kuid with "update avail", do all "out of date" updates comes from
"download station" or cm has to search all over.
Thank You.

Jack.

Jack - the items under the out of date tab are all those that are out of date including the ones on the dls. To find the ones out of date on your computer add the parameter local to the search and this will tell you how many you have that need updating. At this point you could save the search as for example update then each time you go into CM you can use that tab to find out what you need to update, it should match the number on the first screen of the game. When you have all your updates on screen, select them all, right click on the group and click on view asset versions and this will list the updates with DS next to them, select them and drag to the download window.
If you still have a lot then do it in batches.

For the black textures check out Shane's tutorial page at: http://trainz.shaneturner.co.uk/tutorials/

To help with fixing the loco we will need more information so do post a more detailed list of the errors.

Thank You for reply.
1. I am not very familiar with CM. When You state " add parameters "local" to the search",
it means that it will be updated from DS. So, the search will indicate, content to be updated
on first screen of the game. Hope I understood Your point correctly.
2. What about content that is "obsolete", if I understood correctly, deleting from CM will
not effect anything, or "obsolete" still carry depedencies that used somewhere else in the game.

Jack.

Jack - CM is content manager which is accessed via the Content button on the Launcher screen. The rest of what you say in point 1 is correct, the list will be updated once you do a view asset versions - view in main list - then transfer to download window.
If the out of date asset is built-in you will not be able to delete it. Some say that deleting non built-in out of date assets once updated can result in some assets showing missing dependencies but I have not seen this.

 

[kurachka]

Thank You.
I need to get clarification one more time. "Obsolete" content mark by (zz) symbol in CM,
means that "obsolete" no longer used and therefore no longer needed...,correct, so is it safe in Your opinion to delete.

Whatever Your opinion on this subject, I understand that I am or will be doing/deleting at my own risk.
Sorry for being pain in the ....

Jack.

 

[dnevans8]

Jack - Obsolete shown by the zzz icon means dependent assets should pick up the new asset but some say not all dependent assets do. I usually delete them after a few days and so far have had no problems with them showing up as missing. If you do have a problem you should be able to redownload the asset by dragging the asset that shows a missing dependency to the download window and clicking start or by using the black pages: http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php
Just to say again though, built-in assets that have been updated cannot be deleted.

Thank You.
Got Your point on built-in assets.
