This is not good, but hopefully recoverable!
OK, I run Trainz 2004 (Build 686) on my other (not-internet) computer and have just come back to it after a long spell.
For other reasons I was advised to download SP4 and did from this PC, onto DVD and ready to take to the other PC. Thought it would be a good idea to use Content Dispatcher to save my now quite massive route to disk just incase.
Problem Number 1. Having opened Content Dispatcher and clicked Add Asset, all my saved routes (3 of them) showed on the list (as Maps and Scenarios, other bits too) but each icon had a warning next to it and when clicked I was told unable to save as I was not the owner of the content
. Strange?
I realised that since re-loading Trainz I had never put my user ID into the Register box and now did so clicking OK, thinking maybe this was the reason (as stated earlier though the PC is not online). Still unable to save my content using Content Dispatcher I went back into Trainz. Problem number 2; to my horror, although my routes are showing in Surveyor they are now simply a grey, gridded landscape with nothing on them; no colour, no track, buildings or anything. Though splines look like they are still there where things should be. When looking at it in Mini-Map viewall the original textures, track etc can be seen so the route has not gone; just seems like all the Assets have been taken offleaving just the bare land.
I also noticed that in Surveyor only my routes were showing, none of the de-fault ones and that in Railyard there was nothing available at all. I exited having changed nothing and came straight here.
Please, please tell me this is recoverable and then please tell me if you know why Content Manager was saying that the stuff wasn't mine anyway.
