Trainz CDP problems??

[unionp509]

soo i moved my trainz route to another operating computer that also has trainz2010

and i went back to the old system and copied all the dependencies that would make up that route and i put it into cdp and then all the dependency were all put into 1 cdp (icon)
later i went to import the CDP to the new trainz on the new system on content manager and it showed and error

this is what it said?

Error: Unable to open CDP file 'C:\Users\myusername\Desktop\Toronto Rail Content.cdp' for reading

and now my trainz route is left missing tons of dependencies.:'(

You may have exceeded the allowable size of a cdp file if you tried to save everything in the one file.

Peter might be right on this. I think the maximum size is around 2GB for a CDP file.

You might want to put the route and sessions in 1 CDP and the other content in another.

my CDP size is 1.43GB (this is the route dependencies)

(this is the route it self) CDP size is 2.49MB

I remember reading somewhere that CDPs are capped at 1.00 GB.

 

[PEV]

Yes, I reckon that is right.

So the cdp file that you have at 1.43GB may be corrupted.

I suspect archive files may have a similar limit.

One of the problems for us being the asset data files are compressed as the cdp is built so it's a bit hard to know how much will filt into one.

Put it into CDP and then into a Zip file and then it should work..

I seem to remember that earlier versions of Trainz choked on CDP files higher than 512MB.

CMPA files, to my knowledge, can be up to 2GB.

Don't CDPA archives cause other problems? I seem to recall people having trouble with these.

Most issues related to CMPA files can be down to lack of knowledge on how to handle them.

Unionp...right click on the CDP file and left click PROPERTIES. Make sure READ ONLY isn't checked.
