I am always surprised ...

... ,though I dont know if I should be, by the alacrity with which people upload routes with a significant number of unknown assets - without any hint or info as to where they might be obtained.

Normally, I just zap them all and do without them, but in this case I would like some help.

I have downloaded kuid:998681:100049 (ANDREW 〡 RUTE SB-KTS-BL V.2 - Autosave). There is a heap of unknown assets including all and any railway track - so, if anyone could tell me what the track kuids are I'd be very grateful.

I don't need the assets just the kuid numbers as I'm going to replace all the track anyway.

Hope someone can help.
 
That doesn't surprise me either. The route is version 3.7 or TS12 HF1.

I read through the route description and Andrew gives some contact information on Instagram and WhatsApp. I didn't post that here due to his WhatsApp ID containing his phone number.

To replace the track, you can replace the white lines using this method:

The dashed white lines isn't "a missing asset" - it's the asset that Trainz turns to when it can't find the asset it is supposed to draw there. These white lines are, in themselves, an asset. You can find this asset in CM. It's called "Missing spline", and it's by Rob.

Open it for edit. Change the KUID from <kuid:523:1124> to <kuid2:523:1124:1>, and remove the whole privileges container (containing the line "permit-listing 0")

Then install that asset as if it were a new asset - e.g. drag the folder from windows explorer back onto the CM interface.

Once it's installed revert the original one (you can't commit changes to it as it's a built-in asset).

Result: The dashed white lines now show up in the menu, and can be selected just like any other track spline. You could lay some down if you wanted. More to the point, you can now use the 'replace items' tool to change them to any track spline you have installed...

I will add this. When you install the folder, use the install content option. This will save so much time. Also don't panic when the creator is shown as AURAN. I hope this helps someone.

Notes:

<kuid2:523:1124:1> ==== Update from <kuid2:523:1124:2> to <kuid2:523:1124:3> for T:ANE and up. All other procedures apply.

Need to change .texture file using PEV's Images2TGA.

As far as the other assets are concerned, you can replace them manually based on a hunch by where they're located.

The alternative is to post the missing kuids up in the Missing kuids forum post and take it from there. That may get you part way at least.
 
Thanks for your help ... it doesn't quite work in TRS22 as it replaces splines but not track (even though beforehand splines and track return the same kuid). Anyway I'll fiddle around a bit more to see if I can make this work.
