Uploads being classified wrongly

I recently uploaded this static scenery derelict baggage car to the DLS.

kuid2_68213_15004_2.jpg


It is a Kind scenery asset with category-class 'BR' meaning 'Building - Railroad'.

Why then has it appeared under type "Track" on the Black Page DLS? It could be many things, but it's not a track.

Who or what determines the classification on the DLS? :confused:

I just downloaded Derelict baggage car 01,<kuid2:68213:15004:2> and imported it into TS12. It shows as type building. I don't know why the DLS lists it as track.

Sorry to say, although somewhat surprised & dismayed, I guess I shouldn't be (surprised by anything to do with Trainz).
Good to see at least it downloads with it's type intact.
Perhaps a "type O" occured?. :o
 
There's no typo on my part, I suspect poor programming of the upload-bot by N3V.

Hi Dinorius_Redundicus,
Gee I didn't mean a typo by you. I meant a miss-stook mysertiuos (a sort of mysterious 'insertion' by unknowns), probably by martianz?
There's an awe-full lot of Marz stuff around; something "Ishy" going on there. :hehe::o:)

:wave:
 
Wasn't implying I'm perfect there, just that I had double-checked my config in AssetX for typo's etc. and found none.

I've now uploaded an update of my old 'Corrugated iron fence 01' and given it a category-class SF (the code for Spline - Fence). According to information still current in the uploads pages, the category-class tag is supposed to be the primary determinant of DLS category as per the following heirarchy;

Type/Class:

The type and class of your Content is determined in the following order:

Class Example: category-class AD
Kind Example: kind engine
KUID Range Example: kuid <KUID:1234:5678> kuid <KUID2:1234:5678:1>

Note: If the Download Station is unable to determine the category by the Class then it checks the kind, then the KUID Range.


In the uploads waiting area, I see the fence is listed having the following properties;


Content subcategories for Terrain Features

Era 1940
Code - Country UK - United Kingdom
Class None


Notice how the Class has been lost or ignored (why?) but it has been put under 'Terrain Features' (whatever that means - it's not one of the broad categories on the Black Pages DLS). The fence is a Kind Track object and has a kuid in the 37000's, which according to N3V's old system is appropriate for non-rail splines.


Download Station - KUID Range Table
(Category associations for Download Station purpose only)

37000 -37999 Splines (including Roads, Powerlines etc)


So I've done my best to say it's a spline fence item which normally puts it under 'Scenery' on the Black Pages.
It will be interesting to see just where the bot places this one.
