Error: Not authorised to commit changes to asset

[dstelley]

I'm trying to make a small change to a rolling asset. Its not built in.
Its a simple change, but something isn't going well.

I cloned the original, and edited the config.txt file of the cloned unit

The change I'm trying to make is in the extensions portion to allow for CMTM use.

I want..


extensions
{
arn_data-62941
reportingmark-32711 "CRR"
carnumber-32711 "x"
{
number_low "180000"
number_high "182000"
prefix "CRR"
}

The original has

extensions
{
arn_data-62941
{
number_low "180000"
number_high "182000"
prefix "CRR"
}
}

but when I try and commit I get the error

Error: Not authorised to commit changes to asset {}

What am I doing wrong?

 

[norfolksouthern37]

what you posted as the desired configuration is incorrect. this should be

extensions
{
    arn_data-62941 
    { 
    number_low "180000"
    number_high "182000"
    prefix "CRR"
    }
reportingmark-32711 "CRR"
carnumber-32711 "x"
}

the arn_data-62941 is a container name.

I made the change, and I still get this error: Error: Not authorised to commit changes to asset <kuid:650028:100127>

This is on a cloned built in content item: Logs 50ft Clinch empty

G'day dstelley,

...just out of sheer interest, is your Auran 'member number' 650028? This number needs to correspond with the official kuid provided to YOU (and only you) when you registered the version you are using. Otherwise, Content Manager "thinks" that you are trying to alter someone else's work and won't permit the alteration (the key here are the words ..."...not authorised...".. in the error message)...

So what you have to do is

1) contact the owner asking permission to create a offshoot version of his object with your KUID user number

2) open it (the object for edit - after permission is obtained)

3) copy the folder in the editing folder (in userdata)

4) revert the original item

5) create in the copied folder the edits (with permission from the original owner first) you want to make along
with a change in the config file in the copied folder of the KUID number to your user ID number (KUID:user number:item number) and changing the user name to your user name

6) commit using File - Import Content

IMPORTANT - YOU MUST OBTAIN PERMISSION FIRST IF YOU WANT
TO UPLOAD THE OBJECT TO THE DLS BEFORE UPLOADING OTHERWISE
IT WILL HAVE TO BE A LOCAL ONLY ITEM IN YOUR COMPUTER Trainz installation

Thanks for pointing that out in big bold print ... But I hardly think all that is necessary just to make a CDP, or clone an asset (unless it is a locked asset, any asset should clone or save as a CDP).

 

[dstelley]

That is my kuid.
I simply wished to clone an existing built in object to enable it for CMTM use. This is for private use only, I am not skilled enough to presume to publish what I'm working on.

in 30 words or less, I enjoy using CMTM enabled vehicles and have been using CMTM routes and sessions. I would like to enhance some existing ones (for private use only) and to do that I need rolling stock that is CMTM enabled.

I cant find existing flat cars (XFH) that are both self numbering (ARN) and CMTM enabled that hauls Auran logs.

Built-in? Have you checked for a privileges container in the config file?

[dstelley]

I started over with this process.
I'll retrace my steps.
TS12 all SP's and hot fixes.

I want to use this item.
username "Logs 50ft Clinch empty"
kuid <kuid2:62941:16315:5>
name "Logs 50ft Clinch empty"

On my system its listed as built in.

I clone it.
I edit the clone in Explorer, and open up config.txt

There is this line item:

privileges
{
is-payware-content 1
}

I remove that.
I change the username to something other than the original.
username "Logs 50ft Clinch empty" becomes "Logs 50ft Clinch CMTM"

I save the config.txt file and close it.
I try and commit and I get this error:
Error: Not authorised to commit changes to asset <kuid:650028:100137>

650028 is my kuid.

 

[shaneturner12]

Sounds like you've cloned a piece of payware DLC content - N3V have made it very difficult to commit assets of this type.

Shane

 

[dstelley]

I did some furthor testing and it seems the privileges field list above is the key.
privileges
{
is-payware-content 1
}
The rolling stock must have come bundled in one of the add on purchases I made, or a payware route I purchased.

I was able to clone and edit anything I tested with except the "payware". Makes sense.

Still doesnt solve my problem, but does explain it.

I need to find a CMTM enabled self numbering rolling stock that hauls logs.

There are several other clinchfield log cars on the DLS, freeware, you should be able to edit those...
