Has this ever happened to you

[daylightguy]

I have a question for all of you who have trs 2009 and up have you ever try to put some 3rd party content on content maneger and when you try to install it all you got was a count of the errors or warnings message but nothing loaded or a message that this content is alleady installed and if you want to do anything about it? This sort of problem has happened to me a couple of times and I am wondering if it has happened to any of you and if it did what did you do to get around the problem and or fix it so you could install that pice of content?

Where did this 3rd party content come from? If it wasn't made for TS2009 or greater you might get errors or warnings. Could be something as simple as missing thumbnails or more serious issues that prevent the object from being used. This is a sad consequence of the open nature of Trainz. Anyone can make objects to use in Trainz but there are no guarantees that it will always work. The reasons for this are numerous and have been discussed in many other messages (search for errors and warnings if you're really curious) suffice to say that warnings can ignored for now and many errors can be easily fixed by the user. Annoying but welcome to the real world. Only ideal Trainz would have no errors. Some errors that need access to the original mesh can only be fixed by the original creator. Luckily these are becoming fewer as the DSL is being cleaned up.

let me think Bdneal's Unitah mallet at one point but that finnally succfessly installed, Plains log run which is odd because that did run at one point but before I deleted it an when MGtrainz had it and right now Malrbro's PRR K4 which I have seen woork for trs 12 but my problem is that it won't install altogher for whatever reason. and I have installed pre trs2009 content and it has woorked perfectly I evean have gotten a pre sp3 and UTC locomotive to work.
