Why couldn't auran stick to one trainz? [ragepost]

I dont understand why Auran couldn't make a simulator called just Trainz.
it would have all of the content spread out through out the trainz series into one meaning everyone gets lots more content and it could have been perfected, meaning all glitches and bugs would have been squashed because Auran would be focusing on only 1 game, not making the next trainz.

But no, Auran wanted money.
And now I am here with a broken CMP not letting me download anything thanks to a silly error 'Unknown content error' that no one not even the moderators know how to actually fix/solve.


Thanks Auran, you truly do put your customers before your profits...
 
Good chance its not auran fault at all - its more like CMP is trying to look for an part of a train that the person who built it, for what ever reason is not hosting it on the DLS.

That an Auran was taken over N3V anyway

You're right. Auran should have stopped with the original 2001 version and should never have tried to improve it. That way, we can all play with low-quality, cartoonish content with little or no scripting. And you would have liked it, because you wouldn't even have CMP to complain about.

And what kuid number is this unknown content error. Is the original asset off the dls or from an outside site ?
 
What a stupid thread! Grow up.

Can I assume that you are still using DOS or don't you have the same rage against Microsoft, who also 'force' you to update. On the subject of Auran/NV3 and money, do you work for nothing? Why don't you set to and learn to program, it might take about 3 to 4 years and then go and work for NV3 for nothing so they can give away the next version.

I realize you are frustrated, but posting ridiculous nonsense will only bring shame upon you in the end. If you don't have a trusted adult to speak too, perhaps you should Google the word "capitalism". It's the reason we have computers and aren't still driving Model A Fords. While you're Googling words, you may want to put in the word "charity", so you can reflect upon the difference between the two.
 
He should also be reminded that a would-be competitor produced by an OS company we all know now (!) looks terribly out of date and going nowhere.
 
As for a seemingly broken CMP that won't download:

Did you clear your CMP downoad wish list ?

In Trainz/Start/Options, and Trainz/Start/Manage Content/Options ... Did you refresh your account by editing your UN & PW and save as "Blanked Out" (no type) ... shut down Trainz ...

Restart Trainz/Start/Options, and re-enter your same identical UN & PW in the blanks ?

Did you click: "Activate FCT at Planet Auran ? Without a FCT you will have slow download speeds.

Did you edit your Profile at Planet Auran, and Edit your PW there ... and re-enter the same identical PW, and save ... and also save your profile making no changes ?
================================

Here are the Black Pages DLS: http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php where you can find alot of added assets.

================================
TRS004/TRS2006 works well on low end PC's, even ones with integrated graphics.

TS09/10/12 require: a really good laptop (as most laptops are not even intended for gaming at all), or a desktop that has a 1Gb video card, and a fast CPU speed much greater than 2.3Ghz.

TRS2006 could never achive the graphics quality of TS09/10/12.

I still use TRS2006 for surveyor, and downloading

Perhaps he is annoyed at the wide variety of releases that evolved from each basic version that appeared - basic 2004, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012. The derivations built upon each of these was just plain weird. When I decided to get into Trainz I was completely baffled by the variations, each claiming some vague differentiation.

They did - it was a model rail "simulator" and how the whole thing started, and subsequently evolved into a highly credible railway/railroad sim (sure, it's not perfect).

silly error 'Unknown content error' that no one not even the moderators know how to actually fix/solve.

In your short-sighted, clueless rant you've missed the fact it's not the moderator's role on the forum to fix/resolve content errors. Never has... isn't now... never will be.

I'll ignore the remainder of your post on grounds that I'll just simply return the equivalent disdain you served up.

In all fairness Bear, this isn't immediately obvious given the URLs of the forums... which is just as ridiculous as the "2004" in the DLS URL (ie a no longer supported version for some time). I know it's only housekeeping, but getting basics right is a good thing. It is what it is I guess.

I found that 'unknown content error' means I'm trying to download assets with a higher build number that what I'm using. i.e. I use build 2.9, any number above that comes up with the error.
