Uploading objects in packs.
How do I upload objects in a pack in TRS2006, rather than just a group of things one-by-one?I uploaded a group of objects simultaneously, but I get "No packs Found" when I click on "View Pack" on the DLS.
 
I have only done this once but the procedure was quite simple.

1. In CMP select all the individual items to be placed into the pack.
2. Right mouse click on any one of the selected items and select "Save to CDP" from the menu. The selected assets will be packed and combined into a single CDP file.
3. Select a destination drive, folder and enter a filename for the combined file. Click "Save".

A single .cdp file will be created with all the assets. This file can then be uploaded to the DLS in the normal way and will (should) become a pack.

Don't know the answer to that one. I suspect that you would need to edit the description tag in the packs config.txt file.
 
When I put the objects into the uploads box, all I see is "Remove" and "View in main list" when I right click. When the 'Upload Successful' box comes up all I get is "Copy".
 
From that description I presume you are using CMP to upload the completed pack. I have never had any luck uploading anything to the DLS using CMP - I'm sure someone can give us advice on that.

Instead I use my web browser and the Upload Content feature of the Trainz web site. If you have not used that method before ...

1. Go to the Trainz 2004 DLS.

2. Find the Planet.Auran.Login box just below the DLS category icons.

3. Click Result Settings inside the box.

4. In the Planet Auran window that appears click Your Content - the last item on the left side menu list.

5. Click the Upload Content button then follow the prompts.

This can be used to upload packs and individual items as .cdp files.
