P42 Genesis

Hi,

I downloaded and installed the P42 genesis pack from protrainz but it never appears in the rail yard. Any reason this is happening??

It showed as installed in the content organizer but not in the game...

thanks
 
Missing Dependencies Found!

There is a site called "Amtrak Geek Zone." They have plenty of dependencies relating to Amtrak trains, including some dependencies for the P42 "Genesis" locomotive. I highly recommend visiting that site. If that doesn't work, try contacting anyone who owns a P42 locomotive (for trainz of course!:D). I hope this helps!

did you download the protrainz one from Protrainz.com or from the DLS. If the latter you need to go to protrainz.com and download the pack there.

The ones from ProTrainz, there is a message where you download it about missing items and config changes that need to be done for them to work. Until you do that, they won't show. There are posts here about this issue, I forget where but a search for "P42 ProTrainz" should find them.
 
is this a clue to the issue?
taken from the download section..


"If you use any of these in a session, you might receive a "content not found" error from Trainz. Many (if not all) contain an item in their KUID tables, KUID 52779:53000, which is not included (and in fact is not used by these assets). You should be able to fix this by removing that KUID from the KUID table."

if so pls advise on what i need to to to fix this.

thanks
 
I use them just fine with that asset listed. Actually I've never had any problems with the pack from protrainz. this may sound stupid, but I'm trying to cover bases here; Have you committed the pack yet in CMP?

I tried a few times, double clicked on the .cmp file and it opened content manager and showed asset added. Also wen to file and open from the content manager and opened the genesis.cmp file and it said asset added. When I look in the added tab and sort by date added I even saw the pack as installed with the days date bu when I go to the rail yard its no where to be found...
 
yes, but after you installed them, are they listed in the "Open for Edit" tab? if so you need to select them ( [ctrl]+[A] ) then commit them ( [ctrl]+[M] )

There's a step I wasn't aware of, that worked for sure thanks man....

Now apart from that there was listed a few of them that had a dependancy missing, what steps do I need to take in order to find out how to correct that?

Thanks again
 
the Pack contains two extra dependencies listed on the P42s there isn't much you can do to correct them. either ignore it (they'll work) or remove the lines from the config.

peter
 
saddly no; I just ignore them. but I know other people here have; I'm sure they'll be happy to help.

amtrak or via?

i know there is an amtrak one on the DLS, and i think there is a via one there too.

peter
 
via


don't you have to pay to get on the dls?? that would be an issue with me for now but maybe ill be able to find a freebee somewhere

thanks
 
no, free access to the DLS comes with the registration of a Trainz serial number (excluding Trainz Driver, I beleive).

You can buy an FCT which allows faster download time, and removes the 100MB/day limit that is on the free access.

I downloaded the same pack (Amtrak, NH, VIA) and they all showed up in railyard and run fine. But there is no cab view!!!
