The information in this Wiki Page applies to TRS19, Trainz Plus and TRS22 and describes the methods that can be used to restore assets deleted by Content Manager.
          Next Down Bottom

Contents

NotePad.PNG Notes:

DotPoint.JPG Base, Built-in, Packaged and Payware assets cannot be deleted using Content Manager. Not even those that have been made Obsolete by more recent updates.
DotPoint.JPG Packaged and Payware assets can only be deleted by Uninstalling the DLC Package that installed them. This is done from the Content Store option selected from the Trainz Launcher.


Restore Deleted DLS Assets

    Top   Next Down Bottom
BlueDot10x10.png Deleted assets that were originally Installed from DLS can be easily restored by installing them again from the DLS


Deleted assets that were installed from the DLS are the easiest of all to restore. Simply use Content Manager to locate the assets and download them again.
DotPoint.JPG Select the Download Station filter from the Filter drop down menu CMDownloadStationFilter.png
DotPoint.JPG Optional: Type part of the asset name in the Search box to narrow the search
DotPoint.JPG  Right Click  on the asset name in the displayed list and select the  Download  option


PencilTips.PNG However, if for some reason you are unable to access the DLS and the deletion occurred during the last 7 days, then the assets can still be recovered from the automatic backups that Content Manager creates when assets are deleted. These backups are only held for 7 days. See PageLink.PNG Restore Deleted Assets from the Backup for the details.


Restore Deleted .cdp File Assets

    Top Next Up Next Down Bottom
BlueDot10x10.png Deleted assets that were installed from .cdp files can be easily restored by reinstalling them from the same .cdp files


CMContentInstall.png Deleted assets that were installed from .cdp files can be reinstalled from the same files.
Steps: To install an asset or assets from a .cdp file:-
DotPoint1.JPG From the Content Manager File menu select the  Import Content Files...  option
DotPoint2.JPG Navigate to the location of the .cdp file or files
DotPoint3.JPG Select ( Left Click  or  Ctrl  +  Left Click ) each file to be restored
DotPoint4.JPG Click ( Left Click ) the Open button


PencilTips.PNG However, if for some reason you are unable to locate the .cdp files and the deletion occurred during the last 7 days, then the assets can still be recovered from the automatic backups that Content Manager creates when assets are deleted. These backups are only held for 7 days. See PageLink.PNG Restore Deleted Assets from the Backup for the details.


Restore Deleted Payware and Packaged Assets
