Trouble With Dry Brook & Esopus Valley Railroad

[prr40000]

Hello, I'm having trouble running the Dry Brook & Esopus Valley Railroad from JR. I had purchased the route and then gone through the kuid database making sure that I had every dependency... Two that I'm still missing, however, because I can't seem to find them anywhere: kuid:523:19723413, and kuid2:303612:41:1. Both of these are listing as "unknown" when I hit "View errors and warnings" in the content manager.

That being said, it doesn't LOOK like I'm only missing two dependencies. Half of the route is missing, from a scenery standpoint. Bridges and trestles are not there, roads aren't there, signs, etc.

I'm curious, and maybe I don't know what I'm talking about as I'm rather new to Trainz, but why pay for a route that doesn't come to you ready to go with all scenery once you download it? It seems to me like that's expected for Freeware Routes, where you'd have to hunt down dependencies and such, being the price to pay for a free route, but this route is not free...

I digress, because this isn't a post about that. I don't know why the route looks as baron and empty as it does with so few assets missing. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

Make sure you download all of the dependency packs that are available for the route.

Both are from "Additional TANE Assets for TRS19".

I have already, but today I made sure I had each and every one of them installed - I do. Doesn't appear to have made a difference.

In Content Manager, check for 'open for edit' assets, select all and 'revert to original'. That should fix your barren route problem. It occurs because one or more duplicate assets have been installed, they are left 'open for edit' so they may be compared to the original then submitted or reverted. 'Revert to original' should be chosen in almost all cases.

Unfortunately, this did not do the trick. It looks indifferent from before. Not sure what to make of this.

You might try posting on the JR forum down under "Third Party Partners". Maybe it is something they have heard of before? Dunno.

I have used this route as a "merge" 3 times with other routes (enhancement). Weird things do happen from time-to-time - various textures just disappear. I have been able to always locate them for restoration. However, one of them ceased to exist on the N3V system and I just used a "suitable" replacement. Two days ago the texture for the parking area at the Esopus station disappeared. I found a cobblestone to fix it. Esopus can be a "pain" but it is worth it. Both sidewalks and textures disappear, maybe every 6 to 9 months. I have to redraw or replace them. I would love to have, and understand the code, to see why.

Notes: sidewalks are the worst offender for me....
The cobblestone streets allow much more interesting street elevations not possible with the formal street assets.

I've merged this route with Joe's Hudson and Western and I use that with my own larger route as a through route connected via i-Portals.

I've never had issues with stuff disappearing like that. I would check for assets that are open for edit, or are faulty in Content Manager. Revert open for edit assets and view errors and warnings on those that are faulty.

Not to pile on but I have had Both those routes JCitron is speaking of and have also merged them into routes of mine and have had no issues with disappearing items. The only problem I have had was trying to make my sections look anywhere close to as good as Joe's work. That does sound very much like an open for edit issue or perhaps an accidental deletion of assets.
