downloaded assets and routes dont show

[toppro77]

I have reinstalled my trainz 2004 program after having my hard drive crashed on me last year. I'm running windows XP. The program seems to work fine but anything I download will not show in surveyor. I have downloaded a couple of new buildings and installed them. They show in my list but when I click on them there is no picture of it and it will not load in surveyor.

I have also downloaded several new routes but none of them show in my list of routes either. Any help with this would be appreciated. I have been trying for 3 days now to get stuff to show up with no luck.

Thanks

Hi,

Do check that the download routes are for 2004...

A route for a later version of Trainz won't show up in the program as it may use features from the later version.

You should (already) be using SP4 (Service pack 4) for TRS 2004 - check your build number vs the DLS service packs.

Don't forget Paintshed and Trainz Objectz. Also delete the dispatcher.chump file in the cache folder and let TRS2004 rebuild it.

Thanks for the info. Where do I find the SP4 for TRS2004? I have looked for updates on the site and I cannot find where any are. I thought that might be a problem.

All the routes I downloaded are for TRS2004 so that can't be my problem.

Update:
I found the service pack for 2004 and I will see if I need that when I get home from work. I hope that is my problem. If it's not I'm ticked!

I updated with the service pack for my version and still nothing shows up. I did however find that when I installed a route it was putting it in the world\dispatcher\download folder. I moved the files to the custom folder and the route shows in surveyor.

It also loaded in surveyor after moving the files to the custom content folder and deleting them from the world\dispatcher\download folder. The route I loaded was missing many files so I am in the process of downloading the missing files and hopefully this will work. It's a pain in the butt knowing I will have to move all route maps manually to this file but if it works I have solved half my problem.

I finally finished getting all 197 files that I needed for this route; however I had to delete the world_cache_Dispatcher.chump from the cache file in order for the map to show everything on it. The route looks cool. it's called "Clovis" It still says I'm missing some files so I will have to go back out to get the files needed at the guys website. I can't remember where that was though...lol

I won't say my problem is solved but at least I found a way around it for the time being.
