The first thing that I see is that you have misspelled 'default'.
This will definitely cause you a problem. Are all of the quotation marks acutally in your config. I don't know if they cause a problem or not, but I don't use them. Here's a sample of one of my recent configs for a recent building

username Ray's Drive In
description "Drive in with curb service"
kind scenery
kuid <KUID2:262137:10339:0>

auto-create 1

}

category-class BC

I also see that you have a trainz-build of 2.5. I'm not familiar with this. I think it should be 2.4 for Trainz2004 and 2.6 for Trainz2006

[skol587]

oops on the spelling and ya the quotations are thats how content manager wrote it. ill try your suggestions out

 

[leeferr]

Also take a look at your category-eras. If you're using 2004, the way you have it isn't the way the CCG says to do it. By the way, in your second content, your 2000 has a space between the second and third zero.

The CCG says that you should set up the category-eras like below:

category-era-0 1900s
category-era-1 1910s
category-era-2 1920s
etc....

PS: your category-region should be set up the same way (eg. category-region-0 US)

 

[skol587]

the trainz-build 2.5. came up automatically and most of the items that came with my version of trainz 2006 are labeled that way

 

[leeferr]

that's fine. I just wasn't familiar with it. Does your content work after fixing the misspelled 'default'?
Mike

 

[skol587]

i just tried it and it is still doing the same thing

 

[leeferr]

have you fixed the other things that I mentioned?

 

[leeferr]

I just noticed that you also need to add the auto-create 1 tag or it won't show up.
Look at my sample above. It has the auto-create 1 tag right below the mesh name in the mesh table.
If you don't include this line, I believe it defaults to 0 and therefore won't show up in surveyor or driver
Mike

PS: I have reworked the config on your first item and am emailing it to you.

 

[skol587]

thanx and hopefully it works

 

[leeferr]

let me know if it doesn't and we'll go from there
Mike

 

[skol587]

[leeferr]
