Updating Trainz Asset database..?

Hi Chris,
The most common reason for this is if you shut down your system too quickly after closing Trainz.
Trainz needs at least 2-3 minutes (5 is advised) after the main game has closed for the background processes to finish their jobs and close normally.
If you wish to see when this has happened, click Options on the Launcher, followed by Developer, then tick the 'show database process windows box', then click OK.

It's OK - the 5 minutes should be enough for it to close properly, unless you've been doing a lot in Surveyor or Content Manager.

Hello everybody,
My last work with Trainz 2010 dated from Saterday June 16th.
Today when I wanted to start Trainz 2010, it just refused to start.
Restarted my pc, and then when I started Trainz 2010 I got the message
Updating trainz asset database - after a while I got Scanning for modified asset files and later on I got checking for faulty assets.
The final results was 2314 errors 150 warnings
.
Some errors were
Error: Asset <kuid2:130544:53001:1> does not match the asset database record
Message: Asset <kuid:457924:100028> failed validation.
Error: Texture 'i10_b8_body/coupler\Env_metal.texture' is missing or could not be loaded for mesh
'i10_b8_body\coupler\coupled.im'.
Error: Attachment point 4 (a.sitpoint1e) in 'queues\passengers\attachment-points' was not found.
Warning: Progressive meshes are no longer supported by Trainz. Though these meshes may work in
Trainz, it is recommended that you switch to a LOD mesh.
Message: Asset <kuid2:75134:67025:1> failed validation.
Error: The Tag 'form' is not permitted within a container of type 'texture-group'.
Error: The Tag 'owner,' is not permitted within a container of type 'texture-group'.
Does anyone know if those errors are automatically corrected? Is there a guide where I can read about these possible errors ?
Thank you
Best regards

Hello everybody,
Some extra info
Something weird happened. After the update trainz asset database process I wanted to start trainz from within contentmanager.
When clicking on the start trainz item - content manager wanted to commit a route, which was created with Transdem a few weeks ago. When I tried to import that route at that time as content, a taddaemon error was received. The content couldn't be imported due to its big size ( nearly 2gb ). Now, it's strange that content manager is trying to commit that large route, without me using the import content item. So something odd is happening when the update asset database starts
I think this database is no longer reliable.
And something remarkable I noticed when checking the content of content manager. Routes which had been deleted by me where back in content manager.
Best regards

If you have a TADDaemon error, make a note of the asset(s) in question, as I have an open Helpdesk ticket on that issue.

Hello Shane,
I have created a few weeks ago a helpdeskticket concerning the taddaemon error, which occurs when importing content in Trainz which is larger than 500Mb. I have received a reply from Zec, wherein he asked me what actions I had done.
Did I Import cdp or import content ?
This was my answer to Zec's question
1) I'm making a route via Transdem.
2) When the route has been created, I try to import the complete content ( folder in userdata - editing ) via content manager - import content
3) I immediately receive the error
4) Error received - see Taddaemon error
5) Then I click on the text - to see what this report contains, click here
6) I had a look at the report which contains three files -
7) I saved the three files into seperate txt files - registry.txt, errorlog.txt and crash_dmp.txt
8) Afterwards, I try to close down content manager. This can only be done the hard way via taskmanager
Best regards

Alright, I would suggest copying the folder from /editing to your desktop. You should never import from within the Trainz directory.
Kurt,
When Trainz has recovered from a database crash, content maybe left open for edit and may also show errors in Content Manager. It is suggested that you view faulty content and select the faulty items. In many cases these errors are false and the assets will disappear from the faulty content list. In other cases, actual faulty content will remain faulty and need to be repaired, redownloaded, or deleted.
In any event, you should have manually committed the content in CM before launching Trainz.

Hello Scottbe8,
Thank you for your information. I will change the import strategy.

Hello John,
Thanks for the input. I will try to verify the complete content manager.
My biggest suprise in content manager was reviewing routes which had been deleted by me. This restore was also a recovery of deleted items.
So somewhere there must be a backup directory in Trainz 2010.
I checked some of those recovered routes, and they are functioning.
Best regards

This is normal... and the longest phase of the database repair process as it verifies the content.
