Data wiped out

[csx_7272]

So after my steam got *accidentally* deleted, i redownloaded T:ANE but somehow only my builtin and payware packaged content was saved (since i bought them of steam itself) and all my 3rd party or imported freeware or payware content dissapeared, is there a way to recover all this?

You Trainz content still exists or should.

By default, Trainz content is stored in C:/Users\<login> /App Data/Local/N3V Games/trs22/build followed by an alph-numeric string. Unless Steam users have their data stored elsewhere.

Note: trs22 can be replaced with trs19 or TANE.

When you start up Trainz...

At the Launcher, click on Trainz settings
Click on Install tab.

Click on the 3 dots to the right of the path located in the white box.

Browse to the C:/users/<login>/App Data location mentioned above.

You should see a path with Build and the alpha-numeric string. If there's more than one, chose the one with the older date.

Click on Select.

Trainz will want to restart and it may want to run a database repair.

Let it update and if all goes well, you should be all set since your username and login are already there.

I went to check C:/users/<login>/App Data, i cant find the "build" and can only see local and roaming

In my install, the full path is C:\Users\<login name>\AppData\Local\N3V Games\trs22\ so open the \Local\ folder then the \N3V Games\ folder and then the \trs22\ folder.

I have 3 build "random characters" folders in the \trs22\ folder as I have 3 installs of Trainz (Trainz Plus, Trainz Plus beta and TRS22PE). I usually rely on the "date modified" column to see which was the last one that I used.

I forgot the local part of the path.
