Who can update the ashland route

[Beattie]

hello everybody the ashand central version 2 route still has at least over 100 faulty items and causes the route to almost freeze every second or so who can update the route or if anybody that knows who the author of this route can they contact them and fix all the assest issues.

 

[Dermmy]

The asset issues are not the route-builder's problem. You would need to contact the creator of every 'faulty' asset if you want then fixed and distributed. Or wait for N3V's asset repair programme to get under way. Or fix them yourself for your own use...

I'm the author and like Andy said, the faulty content has to be fixed by the original author. Some faulty items can probably be fixed by you depending on what the fault is. I'm assuming that you are trying to run the route in 2009 because I believe everything runs fine in 2004.

Good luck to you.

There are lots of threads on how to fix different kinds of errors. Some can only be corrected by the original author. I'll try to help you a little if I can.
Can you tell me what version of trainz is giving you the errors and what the errors generally are. Remember, a warning is not the same as faulty content. In 2009 and 2010, content with a warning should still run okay. Faulty content needs to be corrected though before it will show up in Trainz.

That's the ones I can't figure out how to fix

 

[leeferr]

I don't know how to fix most of those, but I really haven't tried yet.

I have tried to fix the KB rooster, but haven't had any luck.

The Billboard is mine and I knew that there was a problem with it in 2009, but I just haven't had time to fix it yet and even if I did, it's a 2004 content item and with the new Auran policies, I can't upload any 2004 items. Therefore, I can't upload a fix for the problem.

Most of them seem to be texture file problems. Some of PEV's programs might fix some of these problems, but I'm not sure. I haven't used any of his programs yet, but I understand that they're very handy.

The power of 2 message indicates that the referenced file's sides are not a power of 2 (eg. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 512, etc...) You'll have to manipulate the file with a photo editing program to change the dimensions of the sides. The sides of the file can be in ratios up to 8:1 in Trainz.

For Water04, Sea1 and JJS Grass, you can correct those errors by going into the config.txt file and putting a space or tab between the trainz-build and the 1.3.

For the notellmotel, there are several errors, but the one that is most telling to me is the notellnightwin.psd file reference. I'm not aware that Trainz recongnized a .psd file for the graphic reference. I could be wrong about this though. I was aware that there was a problem with this file, but haven't had time to take a look at it.

You still haven't answered my question. Are you having trouble with this in TS2009? The route and all content in it was created for TRS2004 or earlier versions of Trainz, so some of the content may have to be replaced if it can't be repaired.

Hope this helps a little.
