Hi there good peoples of the Trainz forum! I have something that I could use a little advice with.
I recently bought Trainz over Steam(I know, I know) and was kind of blown away by this game without expecting it. Now, I'm reading surveyor guides and such and getting to grips with the Surveyor because I'd like to create some content for friends and possibly even for strangers if I become competent enough. The game is patched as far as Steam will let it(61297, Auran mod assured me it'd work with the 388 people in MP tho), but there is still content out of date, about 300 items worth. Here's where I hit a dilemma:
I want my first creation(s) to be accessible for people with the base game that aren't able to get a First Class Ticket to download all those updates, so using built-in things. At the same time, to access someone else's content my game has updated some built-in items to a more recent version, and though I tried to disable the updated versions of the item, it refuses to then use the obsolete-declared version. In other words, once built-in items are updated I can't revert to the earlier obsolete built-in version and it'll force anyone using my creations to update their things too, which kinda defeats the point of a no-need-to-download-dependencies thing.
I could just uninstall everything and reinstall the game, but I was wondering if there was some other way to remedy this? In short, I'm trying to revert to a built-in(and obsolete) item after it has been updated.
Hopefully I didn't put this overly confusing, thanks for reading and I hope someone can help. Also, yay my first post! :clap:
