Do you have a build number now in the bottom right corner of the start up screen and if you do what is it ?

[fizzywizzy]

Yes, i can see my build number mate, it's 41844

[Nexusdj]

Good good

Right according to the wiki 41844 is Service pack 3 so you need to go to here http://www.auran.com/servicepacks/#TS2009 (thanks Huccaby) and go down the page to the 2009 section and download and install the update from this section :

Service Pack 4
You can download the SP4 patch from the following link: • Build 41844 -> 44653

My patch keeps failing upon installation. It gets aborted.

Sometimes the patcher has to run as administrator in order to work error-free. Right click on the application and click run as administrator.

As I have said (at some point) the trainz patcher is fairly unstable, so to increase your chances of a successful patch, you could have a look on the auran forums for patching guides. I seem to remember one...

A quick Google search provided a tutorial, which may be of use to you... http://trainz.shaneturner.co.uk/tutoria ... -you-patch

Not very useful, i've personally had enough of that Service Pack 4 patch, any other methods to install the SP4 patch??

You could back up all your content that's not built-in (which you dont want to lose like custom routes etc.) and then uninstall trainz from your computer .
Reboot and do a fresh clean install of trainz and then add the service packs up to service pack 4 .

Once service pack 4 is installed and working then and only then reinstall your custom content . Do not be tempted to try to install the custom content before hand as faulty content can crash a service pack update .
The service pack has to plough through your trainz set up and is really only designed to cope with the built-in files .

Personal alterations to built-in content (like changing engine sounds on a loco) can also cause a service pack to fail .

Cheers for all the help the route runs fine!

I installed Midshire months ago and all the associated dependencies. Things were fine until I opened the route yesterday to discover all the track that I haven't replaced with my own alternative, isn't showing. I get the dashed lines you normally associate with a missing spline/track. The route shows no errors or missing dependencies in CMP so what else could I be over looking here?

Thanks.

[Nexusdj]

Check the track you know is missing and see if it's been declared faulty by CMP and also check to see if the track requires any dependencies ?
If it does then check those dependencies as well ?

[PFX]

Sadly, I can't remember what the missing track is. I'm guessing the original which did show up on the original Midshire 3 version as faulty and which I subsequentently fixed. Still no joy sadly.

I keep getting these 2 errors. But a couple of days I had no problem accessing the route.
Could somebody please help!!!!!! Thanks

Error: File 'mapfile.tmp' is not of appropriate file type
Error: Failed to commit changes to asset <kuid:390241:100005> due to invalid files

[Nexusdj]

What is kuid:390241:100005 as I've not got that installed on my machine so it can't be a part of Midshire . A google search brings up nothing ?

[Warbo40]

Wonder if he's made some changes to the route and that's his kuid number.
