Is it over?

[Approach_Medium]

I think we're just a bit bored, so we come here and post.
Lucky for me today I had electrical work to do in the real world, so no Trainz until now. It feels good to get away from simulations and back to the real world once in a while :hehe:

Re the OP's quandary. There's nothing to stop you importing a route built in '006 into '009 (which as others have noted can be bought at bargain bin prices now) on your computer, save it and it will have a version type/number which can be uploaded to the DLS.

 

[Euphod]

Hm.

Decided to try and download all of Euphod's 4-8-2 reskins.

Downloading just fine for 2006 here

You have my condolences...

 

[robogo]

My BIG question, is CMP and DLS still working for the now unsupported versions without a FCT ? NO, I'm too scared to try it myself, maybe it'll BLOW up in my face

 

[Sampug394]

September 2nd...

Downloading some missing dependencies for the 4-8-2s now...

 

[cascaderailroad]

So far, so good

I haven't tried to clone an asset, or copy and save an asset to a CDP, yet ... but I have copied my "local" file to a 1 Tb external hard drive, uninstalled TRS2006, shut down, and reinstalled TRS2006, deleted my newly installed local file and replaced it with my saved "Local" file, deleted asset.tdx and assts.bku files, went to Planet Auran, edit/reset my PW, edit/reset my profile, Shut down Trainz, restart TRS2006, waited till the asset database rebuilds and installs TAD upates....everything appears normal...so far.

I have downloaded using my FCT and fixed errors, resized tga to a power of 2, and committed changes to twenty two of the DDA40X, DD40X, DD35, Loco EMD DD40X config files.

Edit: It seems that only "Pre SP3" assets are "Not Available" Ex: Rocket Cow, Ironpenguin-IPE Wafflehouse, Krispy Kreme Donuts...etc...

My biggest concern is that I would not have access to TRS2004 assets for TRS2004. That is not the case. Just download a test item into TRS2004. The world continues to spin. Or maybe just my world.:hehe:

 

[AndreaLuigi]

In fact I'm happy of one thing: the asset loaded to the DLS starting now will be tested under TS2009/2010 and this will end up with a numbers of advantages, the first of all i that we will have som less faulty contents on the DLS.
I'm not particularly happy of TS2010, but I'm happy with the diagnostic capacities of Content Manager 3.2 and up.
Too many assets on the DLS show small errors that could be corrected before uploading, if the author take the time to test it in a new version of the Content Manager.
Now the check is mandatory.
This will disturb some die hard 1.3 Version fan, the people that copy and past a config for all their contents without checking missing attach points, textures, ortography errors in tags, fantasy-tag in the config, name without a name etc. It is a good step forward to better quality of the uploaded asset, better even for 2.4 standard, I mean.
Not a bad idea.

 

[zatovisualworks]

fantasy-tag in the config, name without a name etc.

:hehe: Andrea,

I think I have already given account of a very funny tag I encountered on a asset (not given name and author) . Noooooooooo, it wasn't me. :hehe:

Dedicated               "to my lovely girlfriend"

Really lovely and funny. TRS2004 could bear that, T6 not so patient, but...

:hehe: How bad is in dedicating an asset to a girlfriend with a fantasy tag filled with love and devotion?

Girlfriends and wives deserve that and much more for being so tolerant to us, freaky Martian trainzers. 'What's in a name?' told Juliet to Romeo.

Nitpicking CM's sometimes don't mean being funnier. That's what I told my dear friend Henkie ( 'Cafe' Plaggemars) one day after showing me his lovely creation of the T6 CM, a true enhancing advance to Trainz because the Spartan old Trainz and T4 CM was a real joke for computing skills of that time.

Pleased to read you, Andrea.

The girlfriendly side of Alberte :wave:

Deleting message

 

[RRSignal]

Maybe Auran would like to remove all my content now as I am sure there must be some "so called" errors in it, and it would save any possible future criticism at least about my work, which took many hundreds of hours of course to make!!!!!!!!!!!

At the time I certainly did not make it for criticism, and would never have made it in the first place, free for people to use, if I new the way Trainz was going to evolve and attitudes!
Lets hope people are going to start getting busy if they want Trainz to continue?

Relax, Barry, relax. You're getting too worked up here. Nobody said your content is "bad." And, in fairness, Auran should have enabled stringent error-checking from the beginning. But I've found that nearly all errors are fixable, and most very, very easily.

 

[andy03]

you guys have no clue how much us content creators work i mean you guys just download it expecting the best stuff you should be thank ful that we even take time to make these things

 

[SantaFebuff]

Yeah... I removed it.

Cheers,
Joshua

 

[RRSignal]

Is TRS2004 gone off the DLS? Just wait. The moment they attack '06 I'll ask for a refund and termination of my FCT. I don't get it! Isn't the content still hosted on the DLS? It still listed! I have a FCT, and can't download anything but TRS2006 because they already attacked everything else... I am not going to buy TS2010 either. I'm going to wait for a more stable simulator before I even consider.

Am I mad? Somewhat. Am I disappointed? Yes.

Cheers,
Joshua

As 2004 content makes up half the DLS content I'm gonna guess no.

 

[SantaFebuff]

Ah, yeah. I'm gonna have to delete that post... I kinda let a friend send me a link to the DLS, and the TRS2004 wasn't available to him... Then I realized I wasn't logged in and he was using TC1&2. I can still download even UTC stuff.

Cheers,
Joshua

....Former maker of "so called" faulty content which is still on the DS at present. Mainly maritime of course.

If it helps, I have 79 of your assets installed in my version of TS10, non of which are showing errors and all of which are appreciated. Most of the older content works fine in TS10 native mode and is not 'faulty' at all and I don't expect to see these items being removed from the DLS any time soon.

Thanks Paul for reply.
However not important as been retired a few years now and my interest in Trainz evaporated a few years back although not necessarily in content making mainly Blender.

My post was more an academic response to the posts of criticism, and of course many will need to start making content perhaps, as items are possibly weeded out in the future, as that is the fuel that keeps Trainz running.

But that's up to them.

[Mike10]

It is not that there are "so called" faulty assets, they are faulty.

Will Work For Free

I would be willing to work for Auran, for free, and to have all the assets that were ever available, including Pre-SP3. And I would fix all of them for free, as most faulty assets are easily fixable.

Do I have the job Auran ?

There was talk of allowing the community to fix faulty assets and get them uploaded to the DLS. Hopefully it will happen - I expect that there are an awful lot of folks who would be prepared to help. I'd certainly fix everything needed to get my routes to run in native mode as a minimum. IF everyone did just that, we'd soon have the important stuff done, and the rest could be done as and when...
