Problem Third Party

Problem with "Third Party" add-ons. Why hidden content? I uploaded to the DLS did not click the checkmark "Invisible Content".
Why is the status "Third Party"?
 
Hello,


I have a similar problem. I was on vacation this week and when I tried to see what was new on the DLS, there was nothing from May 23.


However, when looking for the KUID of an asset that I know has been uploaded since ( For example <kuid:439337:111778> from MSGSapper ) I see it as "asset unknown" but the thumbnail is correct. I can download it and it then takes on the status of "Third Party" exactly as if it came from a source other than DLS.


A bug.

It's not a bug and Third Party assets have been around since around 2016. The definition of a third party asset is a bit vague but generally they are assets that have been uploaded to the DLS with errors or, more likely, a Trainz Build of less than 3.5. Those third party assets get sent to the Content Repair Group to be "fixed". Often there is absolutely nothing wrong with them and can be downloaded and work well. They are just hidden in the DLS listing.
 
The letter did not indicate that there were errors. Everyone accepted and approved, and the status is "invisible"
 
@pcas1986, as I said, I see no, strictly no, new publications in the DLS since May 23. The last one was on May 22.

As @dainty says, there's nothing to indicate that these publications are wrong, especially as the one I tried came from a regular and reliable contributor.

I noticed that as well. I think the DLS is on vacation.

I answered the original question about third party assets. However, FWIW, I can see assets uploaded by majekear on the 26 May 2023. It always takes at least 24 hours for a newly uploaded asset to appear on the DLS after approval.

Was this asset <kuid:610762:130323> vtl JD?

If so, that asset got sent to the Content Repair Group faulty list as it is using obsolete functions:

! <kuid:610762:130323> : VE267: rdsjuncdispatcher.gs(22) : function GetGameObject is obsolete in object Router.
! <kuid:610762:130323> : VE267: rdsjuncdispatcher.gs(40) : function GetGameObject is obsolete in object Router.
! <kuid:610762:130323> : VE267: rdsjuncdispatcher.gs(51) : function GetGameObject is obsolete in object Router.

I'm curious why you are uploading it when a very similar asset was uploaded by a different author.

The problem is that "third party assets" is, in this case, more than likely an error.

Here, even after clearing the cache and rebuilding the database, I still have nothing since the 22nd. I highly doubt that all the assets uploaded from the 23rd are hidden or in error.

I have two TS22 installations and a filter of "on Download Station" gives different results but both list assets after the 22nd May. So I guess they have cached earlier results and the caches differ.

I've just installed a new database on an empty directory, from scratch, to avoid any caching or other problems.


The result is clear : I see nothing on the DLS after ... October 12, 2022 ! :eek:
