How do I check for missing dependencies with Trains Objects???
Regards Geoff (Holbeck)
Hi Geoff,
First, I went to the UKBL site and picked one of the G2 super D 0-8-0 Loco's and the link took me back to the Download Station to download from there. I actually downloaded kuid:142268:15020 (actually I downloaded the whole pack, with Tender

). I then looked in TRS2004 and the loco and tender where there and I could see them both (actuall 2 tenders, one with cabin and one without).
I then checked in TO and when I first ran TO it saw that I had new Rolling Stock and checked these for me. It found a small typing error in the Config file and asked me if I wanted TO to fix these, I said yes, TO then told me there was a missing } and asked me if I wanted to fix this, I said yes and fixed the problem (the Tutorial for TO would have showed you how to fix this problem). So with those fixed, I then checked for missing parts even though I could see everything in TRS2004 and it found none. Now as I am not to sure which actual Loco and Tender you have downloaded I am not sure how to help, without the kuid number.
If you have downlaoded and installed TrainzObjectz Version 6.0 Build 544 the above checks it did for me would happen when you start it up (this is automatic, although you can stop it by press "Esc"). Now once in TO you can go to Rolling Stock and locate the Loco and Tender. This will give you the Kuid number and if you post it here I can check further. The easiest way to locate the Loco and Tender is to orgainse the items, click on the name column and TO will orgainse the column in Alpha order for you (this can be done with any column - for you info). The more you use TO, the more you will find out why many trainz people live by TO and think it is the best utility program for Trainz. In the lastest version of TRS (2006) they have CMP built into it which is based on TrainzObjectz with some other features. That's how much respect everyone has for this one little program, long live TrainzObjectz

.
Now you asked how to check for missing Rolling Stock parts with TO. While you are in the Rolling Stock section click on the menu button (bottom right hand corner) and select "Check for missing R/S Parts" (as in the screenshot below). This may take some minutes (I just made a cup of Coffee while it checked mine, scratch my bum and did a few other things

) depending on how much content you have. When finished TO will then give you a list of Parts missing (as below).Sorry for the blurry images, but you will get the idea, just click on the images for a larger view from ImageShack

Once you find the kuid numbers for me I will check further, and if you have any other problems with this Loco I will try to help. If you have a totally different problem then you should start a new thread
