missing dependinces problem

[thomasmodelseries]

i downloaded an engine (Bear from wildnorwestern's website) i downloaded it, downloaded the missing dependenceis from the download station the content manger still says it is missing dependinces and it won't show up in the rail yard. i am using trainz 2010 and i am on windows 7. any help/advice is appreciated

Are we suppose to guess what dependency they are?

 

[thomasmodelseries]

no (sorry if that sounded rude) , i should have worded the post better, i downloaded all the dependinces that were on the download station and in the dependinces list it says 0 dependinces are missing, but the icon still says missing dependinces. i am trying to find out if there is a way i can find out which are missing or if the download was corrupt or something.

Open your content manager R clk on loco and list dependency's

You also need to click on any dependency showing as missing dependencies and select those to download, basically working through the dependency tree, as it seems CMP no longer does this automatically.

 

[thomasmodelseries]

ok i did that and it says that all the dependency's are installed but when the loco is in a list it still says it is missing dependency's

 

[xcrossi]

Sorry should have had you then view in main list.
Are any in error.

 

[thomasmodelseries]

ok i viewed them in the msin list and none were in error, 2 said they had updates available, could this be causing the problem?

The dependencies also might have missing dependencies. Check all dependencies for missing dependencies. Note that also the dependencies of dependencies might have missing dependencies, etc, etc.

 

[thomasmodelseries]

okay, i checked and none of the dependencies are missing dependinces

I would suggest you do an extended database repair, so Trainz can update it's caches (which includes dependencies).

i ran the extended datdbae repair but it did not fix the problem.

It could be....Did you update those two?

 

[thomasmodelseries]

this will sound noobish but how do i update them?

In CM right click on the asset to update, choose View Asset Version.
Next click on View in Main List and download the one with the DS icon.
The list should then change with the current version in the snooze mode and the update will have the Installed Icon beside it.

Sometimmes an asset will not update, so in that case you need to write down the kuid for the updated version and the current version. The difference will be the last number (xxxxxxx:xxxxxx:1)or (Kuid: or Kuid2
Now choose Edit, Edit in Explorer.
Locate the Config.txt file and open it.
Look for the Current Version kuid
When you find it change it to the Updated Version.
Check all the way through because it may be listed more than once.
Once you have done it, File,Save and Exit .
Return to the asset listing.
Commit the asset

[thomasmodelseries]

Thank you for the advice i am trying it now

 

[thomasmodelseries]

update: everything is installed and updated but it still says missing dependincies so i think i am going to try uninstalling and reinstalling the custom dependinces (not from the download station.)

 

[mikeaust]

Where does it actually say you have missing dependencies?
Cheers,
Mike

 

[thomasmodelseries]

in the content manager on the list of items with missing dependinces. or the list of installed items.

It's what it says in Content Manager that's important. Does it show a yellow ? puzzle-piece icon next to the affected asset(s)?
