the Tittle Says It All, But Let Me Explain Why Its Bad. Water, A Very Important Dependency In ANY Steam Engine Model, Is Now Faulty. Anybody Know A Fix To This?
Water Is A Faulty Dependency

<kuid:-3:10004> Water
That is a built-in asset, a commodity, that came installed with TRS19 (and later versions).
It is not showing as faulty in my installs of TRS22PE and Trainz Plus.
It has over 400 dependents (i.e. it is used by over 400 other assets), mostly route, session, industry and train assets in my install of Trainz Plus. It is used by all of my steam locos, none of which are reporting a missing or faulty dependency.
Is Content Manager showing it as faulty? Or is it just your steam locos?
Step 1: Select the faulty asset (or a faulty loco) in Content Manager, right click on the asset and select View Errors and Warnings to give a more detailed report (and sometimes this by itself will clear errors).
Step 2: If step 1 does not resolve the error, open the Developer Menu at the top of Content Manage and select Rebuild Database
As a Step 3, yes but this option is only available for modified assets
If it's built in or packaged, I always recommend reverting to original first.

I also found it listed as a trainz-build 2.0 (TS2004) commodity, built-in and error-free in TRS19.
I decided to try modifying it to see what happens. I added a trainz-build 2.0 tag, category-keyword, category-era, category-region and allows-mixing tags, an actual thumbnail image and removed the language tags. On submitting, the only hard fault was one referring to "no texture.txt file found" (because its icon image was still in the form of a texture file). Images2TGA decompressed that to the requisite TGA plus texture.txt file and re-submitting the asset produced no errors.
So I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with the built-in water. If it has been modified, then an error due to the texture file is likely, but it should be fixable either with Images2TGA or reverting to original.

Okay Nevermind, They All Somehow Work Now. Well, I'm Happy, And I'd Like To Thank All Of You For Helping Me
Welcome to the joy, mystery and hair-tearing that is the Trainz World. But the ride is always an adventure and it is the reason why we keep coming back for more
