Hey guys,
the way the DLCs work frustrates me more and more.
I have a route where i only used DLS-content some years ago around TS 12-times.
Now when i want to use the route in newer versions, i have to install lots of DLCs (which most I do not want to install) just to have the required items.
The reason? DLC-assets from DLS get a new KUID-version when packaged into DLCs. So when I use for example T:ANE with some DLCs installed (or some DLS-content I used becomes built-in) and I work on the route, the required KUID-version is set to the DLC one.
Congratulations, in the future i will always have to install those DLCs/builtin to use my route and when I distribute it, all users have to install the DLCs even if the content is on DLS. In most cases I had a look at the content is the same besides the KUID-version.
The way DLCs and builtin works in the past makes me sick. I lose all my motivation to work on routes.
I told this since the DLC-system was started, wrote bug reports about it, nothing changed.
I had ideas how to fix it (easiest way would be to make the DLC-versions also available via DLS and make Trainz/CM use the DLC one if there are conflicts) - no response.
Will this continue forever?
Do I really have to remove all content that was packaged into DLCs?
I always was pro-DLS, but meanwhile its a real integrity problem uploading content to DLS (as they could be packaged into DLCs).
In my opinion its really time to change it.
Or do I miss a point that avoids that situation?
Thanks
Sebastian

If required, i can write down my other ideas to fix that situation again. Just let me know.
