Hello
Maybe I miss the miracle function to clean assets not used, but form what I have seen, Trainz has a huge problem with this, that can be solved if that clean function is introduced.
Right now I am "playing" 50hours with Trainz when I only made 1 hour of tutorials. The rest 49hours cleaning files, making some order. In less than 24hours my hardrive is up to 150gb with just some spanish routes only. That cannot be!!
Ok.. this is the problem:
1. you install the sim with all the routes included you bought. All clean. No problem
2. You go to pages and start to download routes from people. Marbelous rutes. That is the strongest point of Trainz and that is why I bought it. First problem. The routes depends on assets that maybe are default, maybe other made it. So you start to search and install everything until you have it correct.
3. You try other DLS routes. But when you download them, they are also dependent MAYBE on some assets that you already downloaded and are in your hardrive that are needed for your "spanish" routes.
Lets imagine: I download a route from Madrid to Valencia, and it is needed among all the assets of a "pink house" that also is used by another route I downloaded from (example) London to Sheffield.
Ok.. I don't like the London shefield route, so I decide to remove from my hardrive, so I remove the route, which is only 15mb. The main big part are the assets downloaded.. So I remove ALL of them from that route. What happened? the "pink house" asset also was removed, so the route between Madrid to Valencia is going to be broken. I need to download again that "pink house".
This problem may sound stupid.. but think about 1000 "pink house"s type of files that are shared. At the end, you don't want to remove anything because you are fear of not breaking anything.. and you also don't download anything, because you know you are going to put your SSD hardrive (or any other) full of junk.
The solution? Clean Feature. Allow Trainz to clasify routes and trains as parts of all the rest of clasification objects. In content manager add a function to search all the files-assets-kuids that are not used by any route or train.. select them.. and REMOVE THEM FOR ALWAYS. Of course, if you want, because maybe you are using them for constructing new areas (you could mark certain assets as blocked to not be removed)
That will safe us time and our precious life.
PLEASE!! I BEG YOU!!!
