Who is author 311512 ?

[Dinorius_Redundicus]

I'm getting some very strange content updates in CM.

Local asset: NH FL9 loco, <kuid:311512:1012>, Trainz-build = 2.2, author = Auran

Update on DLS: NH FL9, <kuid2:311512:1012:1>, Trainz-build = 2.0, author = Auran

What's strange?
- A trainz-build 2.0 obsoleting a trainz-build 2.2?
- How did any asset with trainz-build 2.x get uploaded to the DLS in view of Auran's policy on supported versions?
- Why is the author 311512 listed as Auran? I thought all Auran ID's were supposed to be negative numbers?
- Why is my CM saying the update is on the DLS, but it's not there when I go looking for it?

Will an Extended Database Repair fix this nonsense?

Leave it alone, apparently they're trying to tighten loose screws on the upload bot with a bunch of test uploads.

I know who author 311512 is!

It's doom_cookie, aka Megan (ex Auran artist).

Is she back working for NV3?

Casper, you dog you! What's the story? Tell us more!

@ Sniper297 - If that's the case, I wish they would inform us of the roadworks or flag the fact that it's an Auran test in the username of the asset. I hope they remove the test uploads ASAP once they are finished. There are 3 of them in my current list of erroneous updates.

I found the answer by searching the Forum (Google is best!) and saw this thread.

Good find. So there is some hope that Megan is back in the fold.

If you sent to my hotmail addy, I can't get to it from here at work, but will from home in a few hours. Otherwise PM me if it's interesting (yeah, I'm bored out of my skull right now).

Better see here, there is testing going on of sorts http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?95220-The-letter-A-stands-for-amazing probably answers the will they be removed question as well.

Bored Deane?? With your job I thought you could always find something to make your day go with a bang!

The email isn't Earth shattering, so can wait until later. It is interesting though (at least, it is to me).

I'm off to bed just as soon as I've finished eating my Fair Trade banana.
