Trouble with understanding dependences

[Caseytrak]

Hello, I am having trouble with understanding how I can add dependences to downloaded objects that are missing dependences. When I made one of my first downloads, it did not appear in the game. So I went to the content manager and it said "dependences missing". I know on Download Station, some of the downloads have a list of the dependences to download in order to complete the object. My problem is how do I connect the dependences to the object that are missing them.

Once you download the dependencies and commit them they will be connected since the reason they show as missing because they are in the config file and not downloaded. All you have to do is bring up the object with the missing dependencies, bring up the dependencies list and at the bottom there should be a spot for view in main list,click this. As long as the missing things show as being on the ds all you have to do is download/commit them. Any with a question mark where the ds symbol should be are not on the dls and will have to be found elsewhere, sometimes you can find it with google

Missing Dependencies

Assets with missing dependencies in the CM are marked with a yellow jigsaw puzzle piece with a ?. If you right click it and select View Dependencies you will get a list. Those marked with a ? are not on the DLS and are located elsewhere. Those that are on the DLS will be marked with the black and red DS icon. If you click the View in main list button all dependencies will be listed. Selecting those that are marked with the DS icon and selecting Download will cause them to be downloaded. If you have the File - Settings - Miscellaneous Automatic commit box checked they will also commit else you'll have to manually commit them.
