Season’s Greetings to all and - may I enter a plea for a little assistance?
Am running Window 10 and SP3 Build 94916 and as per directions contained in Trainz Wiki - HELP: Moving Content, have just copied some 44GB of SP3 Content from my 240GB SSD C Drive to my 2TB HDD D Drive.
My first attempt was clearly missing a vital step as although everything looked OK, my user name/password weren’t showing in the launcher and Auran weren’t letting me in. Second attempt was successful – Local Data Folder in Trainz Settings was showing the new D Drive Folder; Username/Password were OK - all my pay-ware sessions plus my adaptations of Coal Country and two new routes (work in progress) loaded correctly and appear to be complete and fully operational. Success!!!!!!
Page 3, paragraph 2, bullet point 5 of the Wiki HELP paper, lists among the benefits of this process:-
My motive for copying these files across from C to D was essentially to free up some space on my 240GB SSD C Drive. It’s currently down to its last 34GB.
However, the following paragraph of the HELP paper contains a WARNING: - DO NOT EVER delete the C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\N3VGames\TANE folder, OR the userdata-redirect-map.txt file in that folder.
For the record, the original C Drive TANE folder contained 2 files:
File No 1 contained the following 12 files: backups/cache/editing/Libraries/Local/original/packages/screenshots/asset-cache.tdx/assets.tdx/crashdump.dmp/Keystone.tdx
It is these 12 files that are now sitting in the newly created TANE SP3 Content Folder in D Drive.
Am I correct in thinking that when I’m confident that there has been no shortfall from this transfer from C to D, I can leave the complete folder address and the txt file (File No 2) in place in the C Drive but that I can then delete File No 1 (build ufs115n41) and its 12 sub-files from C Drive thus meeting the original objective and freeing up some 40 plus GB on the SSD?
On the basis that it’s the work of a split second to hit the delete key but that hours of anguish can follow if you get it wrong, the help from those for whom my question I’m sure is a matter of simple A,B,C, will be much appreciated.
Regards
