Why is N3V uploading some of my content again?

Hi Guys,

Tonight while visiting CM of TS2010 to find one of my old models I noticed suddenly some contents of mine marked as obsolete and a update is out there, and I know for sure I did not put it up there...

In fact, I counted 6 models, 1 is marked as warning, but rest appears fine in TS2010 - and some years back when I got an email about please update my models or they would go on the fix it list, I did just that, fixed them.

If more would end up on that list, I would have expected a message about that, as well as I would expected to know that they are uploaded with a new version number unto DLS - and right now, I would very much like to know why they are uploaded, they appear identical to my v2 models already on the DLS...
What have changed, why are they there now as a v3?

Do I risk more to appear like that? In that case, as above, why?

As far as I can tell, all my stuff released during my years has been fixed years back by me, what am I missing here?

I feel uncomfortable with this, as they are all old not very good models, and when marked as updated now it gives the impression they are of better quality then they really are, hence, my very bad feel when I saw them this night.

Anyone else got the same experience?
I think I saw a thread a while back with someone else getting similar treatment, but I can't recall it now and I really wanted to get this of my chest before I head to bed over 4 in the morning after some crazy eBay stuff in terms of my Cripple Creek stuff - the stuff that got me into Trainz the first time as I wanted to use Trainz as a modeling way...

I just wish I would be told stuff would appear, and being I see them still marked as TRS2004 stuff I know it is N3V doings, but I wish I would have had a chance to deliver them in that case a better working model with textures consolidated and such...

It's not fair that if I want to update the model again, I need to add a higher build when N3V can keep my old build, I should be able to do that as well on old models - my thoughts! :'(

Anyway, thanks for listing, I head for bed now... Broke and sober in case someone wonders :hehe:

And then, I realized the reason, scratch my thread, delete it, remove it, I think the reason was that while I did include thumbnails back then, somehow the format I saved the *jpg files in, it turned out as green, not visible/usable thumbnails in use for Trainz, and that is probably why they are fixed in a visual way and updated.

If I am right, thanks N3V for doing that and keeping them TRS2004 useable!!

If I am wrong, imagine you are just dreaming you read this text and move on. LOL

Thanks AJ and Malc.

I doubt it was due to the DLS cleanup, as then it would not be still a TRS2004 type, as in, if I want to adjust the files my self, I would need a newer built number while these has kept their original.

Either way, the worse that came out of it is I need to go in and adjust my own version numbers in my assets list, and just mark it as N3V unknown change.
I shall be able to live with that. In fact, I need to, as the other choice is not an option... :p

Which assets were these?

I uploaded a handful of asset fixes yesterday, mostly n3v content but a few 3rd party assets as well. I'm not aware of any being yours though...

If it was just a thumbnail update then there would be no need to change the build number - only the KUID version number would change so as to obsolete the original..

All info according
[/FONT]the what is visible on the Black DLS pages.

The fact they are dated February 2014 and is of 2004 version say it can't be any other then N3V doing it, as if I tried to do it, at least up till a while back, I would only get a error saying the build number is obsolete and can't be uploaded/accepted or something like that...

Which is what I find sad, as I would have loved to be able to update some old stuff, but keep it as old stuff so to speak... :)

Thanks for listing to me babbling away. :)

This might not be a bad thing, Linda. If the content is being fixed, it's still being kept at trainz-build 2.4, so that 04/06 users can still use it. At present, all uploads to the DLS, including DLS cleanups, exclude pre-09 versions.
