Drive not working

[revron]

MY drive does not seem to want to work. As well all my station names have disappeared and I am left with only track places

Not really enough information to be able to offer a clear solution.

By "drive" do you mean Trainz in Driver mode?

Based in the limited information my guess would be that you have loaded the Route but not the Session into Driver and that you have added some of the assets (such as the station name boards) in the Session and not the Route.

OK thanks P ware.
The interesting thing is that over the past 2 days I have not been able to download into my system any stations. Those that came from the Objects F3 folder just do not turn up. Those from the right hand side of that programme are still in the system. It is true that for the past few days I have been upgrading a programme and mainly have been working on the route and not the sessions. But with the blank spots where the station platforms were there is nothing except the canopies which come from the right hand side of the objects folder. But I am unable to open anything up in this area . Does that mean the platkforms are still there. I just can't see them?
Is there a way forward here or do I now delete these programmes and start again. Your thoughts are appreciated

 

[revron]

Oh and when I said in my initial question to the forum that the station names were missing, the whole station is missing.
and no matter what I have tried the opportunity to put the stations back fails.

 

[pware]

Your thoughts are appreciated

The first step is to open Content Manager and see what it says about any of the "missing stations".

Do they show any errors (e.g. faulty, missing dependencies, etc)? If so then this could explain why they are not showing up in the F3 Objects selection list. It has been quite a while since I used TRS19 but in Trainz Plus and TRS22 faulty assets will either be shown in red or will not appear at all in the F3 Objects list.

 

[revron]

No there are no missing faulty or otherwise errors showing. What is happening now is that around the area when're there was a station is a bright yellow line or series of same which mark out the area where the station should be. Only checked on two stations so far and they have this 'sign that there was/is something there, and like TRS 22 and Trainz Lus in TRS 19 faulty objects show up either not at all or in red.
An d they will not appear on your activity at all. These I have mention were inscribed into the programme and now they are just yellow lines!!
Any other suggestions will be gratefully received. Ron

I have never seen that. Could you post an image so I can have a look?

Another possibility (remote as it may well be) is are any of your layers hidden?

 

[revron]

I''m not sure what 'hidden" means or how I can make something 'hidden' Sounds possible though
Here are some screen shots taken from Surveyor
I am trying to paste these images but they are not ging
I will try on another post

 

[stagecoach]

Are they open for edit? If so, revert them. CM will see assets even if they are open for edit, but Trainz won't.

 

[revron]

Interesting you asked that
My CM does not show any stations at all. either in the All or Installed. And my programme I am working on is in he red listing as missing dependencies
Where have they gone?
Any help will be much appreciated
God bless you
Ron

 

[stagecoach]

Check in CM, your open for edit folder anyway, and any assets there revert to original.

Open the Layers tool (F6). Each layer in your route and session has two icons in front of its name. The Eye icon hides and reveals the layer (click on the icon to change its state - "closed eye" means objects in that layer are hidden, "open eye" means visible). The Padlock icon locks and unlocks the layer (locked means objects in that layer cannot be deleted or moved).

Detailed information on layers can be found on the Trainz Wiki at How to Use Layers

 

[revron]

Haven't been able;e to send screen shots to Forum. Seems they make it hard to work out how

 

[revron]

Regarding layers both layers are wide open (eyes wide open and padlocks unlocked) but there is nothing in them

 

[pware]

but there is nothing in them

The F6 tool only shows the layer names and their status (locked, unlocked, visible, hidden), not their contents.

What are the <kuid>s of the stations that are missing from Surveyor but still present in Content Manager? You can copy the <kuid>s from Content Manager.

 

[revron]

<kuid2:61119:28113:3><kuid2:117140:22999:1><kuid:117140:10210><kuid2:60850:22003:3><kuid2:60850:22030:1><kuid2:117140:20005:2><kuid2:117140:20001:1> are some of the stations on this route that has disappeared.
If there is another way to send you the screen shots other than this forum please let me know

Open CM and find your route and session. Highlight both and list dependencies recursively. Add a new row by clicking on + and select installed = false. Highlight all the assets and click on download.

 

[revron]

Sorry Stagecoach, Got as far as highlight but then could not find download

 

[stagecoach]

Once you highlight the route and session, right-click and select show dependencies recursively. Click the + on the right, then click in the first window to select installed and change true to false. All the assets showing will be missing. Select one, then go to edit tag at the top and use select all. Now right-click and download.

 

[revron]

OK thanks for that I have moved somewhat along the line of understanding. I cannot find 'edit tag'
