frustrations with missing dependencies

hi all, im having some trouble, i've attempted to download a few trains and wagons, they are listed within the game under the rail yard but show no train when i click on there names.. this has to do with missing dependencies..

my frustrations lie with the fact that so far, for only two trains there are nearly 800+ dependencies to download! some of which are sitting in my shopping cart.. i have less than a month to download them as my 1st class ticket expries then.. my other frustartion is, when i have downloaded these dependencies they are depended on more dependencies!

i tried both the content manager for Trainz 2006 & 2004, some of the dependencies are not found on your servers and futher more if i wish to download a bulk lot (2004 content manager is more reliable), I have to download each of the missing dependencies one at a time!

ughhh sitting there for 244+ dependencies by clicking one at the time for download is frustrating.. after nearly a month

also my game also keeps telling me about 'registery settings missing' (2004 content manager) even though i installed every part of the 3 disc set! and in somecases reinstalled..

is there any way to speed up this download process? im on dail up and im running out of ticket time.. and how come you dont just have one zip file with everything you need to save waiting for 800+ to be downloaded?

i've vented my frustrations with the system.. please advise if there is an easy way to download the bulk 800+ dependencies before my ticket expires..

apart from that i love the game!
thanks
Gordon.
 
There are a lot of assets available for Trainz. TRS2009 does at least pull in the dependencies when you download something if they are available on the DLS. Some are not. Some can be pulled in by TRS2009 but are not visible on the DLS.

Dial up unless you leave it running overnight isn't going to work to well. I have well over 12 gigs of assets and pulling those in on dial up takes time.

You can use ftp if you know someone with broadband. Then just copy them across to a dvd or USB stick and import them. If you know some one who runs Trainz you could ask them nicely to give you a copy of the .cdp files.

First Class Tickets are available for around $25 a year which isn't too bad or there are a number of free sites. You can even download 100 Mbs a day from the DLS at a low rate of download without a first class ticket.

Gordon,
Slow down before you burst a blood vessel.
When you say "for only two trains there are nearly 800+ dependencies to download!" do you mean routes (maps)? You don't download trains, only locos and rolling stock, and 2 of them sure wouldn't have 800 dependencies.
Don't try to download so much at one go. If you want a route, download load just it then work its missing dependencies.
We'll help you with your problems, but only a few at a time. Post one kuid number of something that has a hundred or so dependency errors. We'll help.

Firstly CMP will download all assets that are on the DLS as will the download helper in 04. One thing you need to know is that not all missing depenencies are missing. Some may have been updated but the asset may be looking for the originl kuid because it was listed in the kuid table of that asset. If you download Trainz Objectz from Tafweb it can find missing objects and download them from the DLS automaticaly. No need for you to search one at a time. It will also carry out an error check for you plus lots of other things.
 
most of the trains are missing the 96914 range of files..

morning thanks for your responces :)

most of the trains are missing the 96914 range of files..

i get an error with the conent manager for trainz 2004 i'll have to check it out again to get the exact error, something about trainz registery not found.. that program gives a nice list of whats missing too but it keeps popping up with this error message and wont download the missing parts.. i'll have to get back to you..

does the download cart stay full even after your ticket expires? that way i can countine to download at least from the cart?

i was wondering if there was a chance of a dvd set being released with the most common kuids?, i have the deluxe content installed which goes some way to installing missing kuid's?

thanks guys
Gordon.
 
You can find many kuids by plugging them into the search box for the forums, and if that fails, by using Google.:)
 
hi again :)

sorry for asking so much...

heres the details regards the registery error i get when trying to download content using 2004 Content Manager.. it seems to come up when i try to download the missing kuid..

Content Manager (v1.0 build 78)

'Unable to register Trainz Helper registery key'

im running windows XP service pack 3

@Euphod didn't think about that thank you :)

thanks in advance!

Gordon.
 
The registry key may be an issue with your computer getting confused between which version of Trainz you are running (you mention '06 CMP). What order were they installed / uninstalled?

Also, don't stress about the FCT if you're on dial-up. Download speeds without an FCT are still faster than dial-up, so you won't notice much change (if at all).

Gordon,
It looks like you've dumped your entire error list from TO which kinda turns me off. You should only work one problem at a time. Post ONE kuid number that you downloaded that has given you problems, and list its errors, and we'll help you to work your problems.

Incidently, bdaneal's (96914:) stuff is at http://www.steammachine.com/bdaneal/. Download everything there and many of your problems will be solved.

Bob
 
thanks all!

morning :)

thanks for the links :) i finally got my head around how it all works and managed to fix the registry error to boot!

so thanks for all your help!

cheers,
Gordon.
 
My humble apology for the bump here....
After going to the site, and although not his locos, I still seem to have many locos asking for the following kuids........
96914:504842
96914:51484
Have I overlooked them somewhere?

Look above and click on the link and follow instructions.
 
"Look above and click on the link and follow instructions."

Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my previous post.......I've already done that !
 
Hi 44Smith,
........A lot of those locos require other things like clean cab, durty cab, whistle, and so no, did you down load all of them?
If not go back and do so, and try again!

It's all fun isn't it?:hehe:
 
Look above and click on the link and follow instructions.
Interestingly, at lease 2 of these asset links point back to the Auran site, and when I follow either of them it takes me directly to my profile page. And searching for the assets in DLS returns no files.
 
Went back and re-downloaded every item........must have skipped one last time. Now have what I needed. Thanks all!
 
does anyone know how to fix the download station for ts2010? It keeps saying server appears to be full try again later.:(

Unfortunately it's not something you can fix, it appears be full because it probably is, see the post in announcements.

If you have an FCT and are getting that message then firstly have you activated it and if so have you refreshed your password in your profile?
 
Yes but right now the DLS is letting me download stuff:) but sometimes some downloads are taking a long time:( .
