Faulty Dependencies after 1st Class ticket Purchase

[Christopher824]

I have T12 fully patched, Win 8.1 fully patched.

I looked everywhere in this forum, downloaded AssetX as mentioned.

I just bought the 1st class ticket and now I am slowly getting more and more faulty dependencies. At first it was just a YARNish sign board, now it is creeping into rail cars. I compared the scripts of non-faulty items to the faulty ones and can not see anything wrong. I do not know if the 1st class ticket has any relevance to the problem, but it was after the purchase the problem started.

The YARNish sign board kuid is;

YARNish Signage - shoulder support - exit signs,<kuid2:506208:100259:2>

If this is covered elsewhere go ahead and complain, won't bother me, just include a link to where the help is.

Thanks for any help in advance

Welcome to the forums, Christopher!

There is no technical correlation between a First Class Ticket and more than usual faulty dependencies. You are probably downloading more assets so therefore you are seeing more errors.

Other than the Yarnish asset with a problem, what are the errors you are getting with the train cars?

When you fully patched, did you run a database repair afterwards?

Regards,

John

John,

No errors at all, just the red icon in the content manager. I have had the game for over a year and have built many routes, and this just started happening today. I had run the quick repair earlier, so after reading your post I did the extended database repair and it only found this;

Error: <kuid2:124017:10032:3> is present in multiple locations.
Message: 'original:hash-83\kuid2 124017 10032 3' is not a valid asset and will be moved to the backups folder.

It fixed that, but was unrelated to the problem. After the scan the YARNish pieces are now somehow fixed, but these are still faulty;

PRR Flatcar 41360 - Main Track Repair Flatcar,<kuid:59906:10503>
PRR Flatcar 41361 - Auxilary Track Repair Flatcar,<kuid:59906:10504>

I can usually search the forums and find the answers I need to fix any problems I encounter, but this has me baffled. Just to be clear, this has all happened today, and I believe you are steering me in the right direction, it's not the pieces themselves, but in the database structure. I am a 30 year veteran in programming and database design. I also learned AutoCAD 10 back in the day.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks Chris

(I need to make a cool footer for my posts here some day after I fix this problem)

I just downloaded 41360 and got the same red error. Just right click on the asset and "View Dependencies". The PRR Flatcar 30259 comes up with a red exclamation mark. Hit "View in Main List" Tab and then right click on the PRR Flatcar 30259 and choose "View Errors and Warnings". There will be a bunch of warnings, but the red exclamation mark disappears magically. The original asset now shows OK with no Red Icon.

Just one of life's little mysteries as far as I am concerned. This happens quite often - just choosing "Show Errors" forces some internal correction.

Glenn,

Did not work for me, but I found that if you open a Route with the faulty dependency in Surveyor and make a change, save it, exit. It will remove the faulty pieces from the Route and the problem is gone. My case it only removed 2 rolling stock pieces, so no big deal. Pity the person who looses a necessary piece that's used everywhere and breaks their Route, would be a big problem to have to find where all the pieces it deleted are.

So I'm good now, but I would class this as a major bug.

Thanks all for the help... Signing off

Hi guys,

This is weird as I've never seen errors disappear as you say unless I've done a database repair and the content has been verified. I wonder if you are not waiting long enough for Trainz to shutdown completely prior to restarting or shutting down your computer. It is suggested that you wait at least 5 minutes after exiting from Trainz TS12 to let the program close it's underlying processes to ensure that everything has shutdown cleanly.

You will occasionally, however, see some older content that will have errors. This is due to the stronger error checking in the newer versions, such as TS12, and therefore the program will report more errors in Content Manager. In most cases these errors can be repaired and are usually due to incorrect parameters in the config.txt files, missing textures, etc. Rather than go into details on this, please search the forums here, or ask additional questions regarding content repair.

I'm just a dumb old near 70 retired truck driver and it is the pieces themselves not the database.

To quote JCrtion "You will occasionally, however, see some older content that will have errors. This is due to the stronger error checking in the newer versions, such as TS12, and therefore the program will report more errors in Content Manager." Unquote.

Ok, I'll agree with the pieces. Have not had a problem since. I do shut down and restart rapidly, so that makes sense. Thanks All
