Yorks & Lancs route - unknown deps

[alexl102]

Just had a look at the fantastic 'Yorks & Lancs' route - representing the airedale line from Leeds to Skipton and then onto Colne - for the first time in ages. It turns out I've got quite a few unknown dependencies. Normally I assume they're S&C content but the KUIDs don't look like S&C to me.

A screenshot is here: http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s649/04lancaa/ScreenShot2014-04-08at010351_zpsabfd5659.png

If anyone knows what these dependencies are, please would you let me know? I'm using TSMac so not all may be available to me.

Finally, Kimmy, the author of the route, states in the description for the route 'airedale line' that he/she planned to add extensions to Ilkley &Keighley in future. I believe that Yorks & Lancs is an updated version of airedale line (correct me if I'm wrong) but did the Ilkley extension to this route ever happen? The line stops at Guiseley on Y&L, altho the Worth Valley railway is included.

Many thanks in advance,

Alex

Hmmm, your last question is a little bit confusing, the Airdale Line on the DLS, kuid:220524:3049 was extended to become the Yorks & Lancs route, kuid:220524:100459, which includes the Keighley & Worth Valley railway, is this the route you have downloaded??

Secondly, I don't have TS MAC personally, so, I don't know if you will be able to run it, or, not properly, however, I can point you in the right direction of some of the missing assets, known affectionately in Trainz circles as 'hunt the kuid'.:hehe:

As often is the case using Google to search for kuid numbers is the best way of finding missing items, for example, if you input kuid:85701:37005, it will pop up with the Czech and Slovakian Trainz Team's website, don't be put off with the foreign language problem, when you've been searching for a number of months/years you'll pick things up as you go along, and a lot of these sites have a British/American flag so you can click on it and the text becomes readable to you.

So, kuid numbers 85701 are on trainzpedro.cz, they also appear on the main Trainz Czech website http://www.trainz.cz/
where you can also find some of the others you are missing, they also have links to other 3rd party websites where you can download your missing content from.

It'll take a bit of time to find everything, I haven't had this route installed since TRS2006 days, so, I can't remember now what items I had missing, if you have any further problems, come back on here and we'll try and help you out.

Don't forget that as this is an old map, you will have to change the build number, and any warnings regarding missing lines such as water and category region you can add from any other British routes that have this information in the config.txt.

Cheerz. ex-railwayman.

cheers ex-railwayman. In response to the first part of your reply, originally Kimmy had mentioned that 'Airedale Line' was being extended to both Keighley (for the WVR) and Ilkley (which is the Wharfedale Line). In the updated version - 'Yorks & Lancs' - the Keighley bit has been added but the Ilkley bit hasn't, so I was wondering if there was another update which included that. But that is of lesser importance!

Thanks for the heads up regarding the Czech site. I'll have a look now.

I don't think Kimmy ever got around to finishing it off, it certainly isn't on the DLS anyway, the only other place you can look is on the British Trainz forum - http://forum.british-trainz.co.uk/
