Error: Dependency <kuid:-999:999> is unknown. never saw a kuid like this?

[xcrossi]

Hello:
Route:Highland Vally 2004
After all the patching :'( ,many routs and assets have all kinds of warnings and errors.
I can fix most of them but ounce in awhile I come across something like this kuid:-999:999 .
I tried to look for it but I'm pretty sure it does not exist.
Do I just delete in CMv3.7 and run Trainz/delete missing assets?

Thanks for Past and Present help

Must be old built in content. Assuming your not seeing sole spline points in Surveyor, try obsoleting -999.999 with a scenery object in CMP, and then load surveyor and see where it resides. If doesn't work try same with a ground texture you would recognize. Then with a traincar. Then you know how important it is before blowing it away.

Ok ...no such kuid exists....delete missing assets in surveyor no joy.
I know from pass experience if I edit route cfg /delete 999.999 will break route (all lite blue).

This has come up before ages ago, no one seems to know what it actually is, suggest clone any scenery object, open for edit, change it's kuid to -999:999 import or drag and drop on main cm window, do not commit, just delete the clone, that should then solve the missing kuid, indicate where it was and give you something to delete from the route. That works as far as creating the kuid just tried it.

DUH..I should have thought of that..
Thanks for EZ work a around and clear instructions.

Saving in my tips and fix notes.

That will work if -999.999 really was an object, and won't work if it was a ground texture, scenery spline, traincar, behavior, etc... as I considered in my earlier post below. Be prepared to clone or obsolete a few types of assets before you uncover the kind for -999.999. Since it is likely old built in content, it can be anything, even water or clouds.

Also, I think this approach is more work than I proposed. It is easier to add an obsolete table to an existing config file than it is to clone, edit, edit kuid numbers, drag, find and delete the clone, and then delete the test asset if it is the wrong kind.

{
0 <kuid:-999:999>

I have looked at Highland Valley in Taftweb's TrianzObjectz and there is no -999 kuid in the highland routes. Most kuids are -1 built-ins.

Looking at the map's config file, there is no -999 kuid.

I then imported it into the TS12 CMP, and many of the -1 kuids got changed to -25, but still no -999.

Finally, I looked in my decompressed TRS2004 built-in assets. Since Highland Valley originally comes from UTC, I checked the UTC, UTC scenarios, USA, and core asset bundles and still no -999.

To me it sounds like something mistranslated the kuid when you imported it. I can send you the TS12 asset without the -999 in an email.

Here it is in TS12 with no problem:

To me this looks like some kind of out or range number value. In my old BASIC and Pascal programming days (Yup that long ago), I wrote a program to create a table. I used a negative value to indicate the end of the input stream so the program knew when I was done entering in the numbers.

That's why I thought of this.

Oh, I couldn't program anything today. I haven't done anything since 1985.

Maybe thats why it got inserted here, to say its the "end of his file," as in throw it away.
