Creating/Cloning content

Check your settings

This is important before you can begin downloading content you must register your

TRS2006 serial with Auran

See the steps in section 3 for how to access your Planet Auran profile or to create a

new one. Once you are there select ‘Serial Nos’ from the menu and enter the serial

number of your copy of TRS2006.

1. Start ‘Trainz’ either by using the ‘Trainz’ icon on the desktop or by the ‘Start’ >

‘Programs’ method.

2. Select ‘Manage Content’. See below.

Select the ‘Settings’ icon from the Tool Bar

See CMP layout below.

3. Select the ‘Internet’ tab. See below.

5. Confirm the ‘User Name’ and ‘Password’ are entered correctly

6. Most people find ‘Use Internet Explorer settings’ most effective

7. Click ‘Save’.

NOTE: If you are behind a ‘Firewall’ then CMP must have full internet access.

Connecting and Updating

When you open CMP it will attempt to contact the Planet Auran server to verify your FCT status.

It will also contact the Download Station to see if there have been any updates recently.

You will see this message;

This one will go once it has verified your FCT status. If it struggles you can hit Esc and cancel

the action.

The ‘download helper’ will also update once that has happened successfully;

If CMP is unable to contact the Planet Auran server you will see this message;

CMP will also connect to the Download Station and check for updates;

If it is unable to connect and the message stays on the screen you can hit ‘Esc’ and it will go

away. It will, however, try again later.

3. CMP start-up problems

If you have never managed to start CMP and it comes up with the ‘Report this problem to

Microsoft’ page then it may be because of a configuration problem on your machine.

Run the Trainzdiag.exe program in the ‘bin’ folder of your Trainz install and check that the

OpenGL section passes all the checks. CMP requires a correctly configured OpenGL installation

even if you run the game itself in DirectX.

If the OpenGL section fails any of the tests then updating your Graphics card’s drivers may

resolve the problem.

What if your CMP starts but just sits there doing nothing and won’t respond?

First thing to do here is to update to SP1 by downloading and applying the Service Pack for

TRS2006. Be sure to follow the instructions (which can also be found on this CD) to make sure

you do not cause more problems. If you’ve applied the Service Pack and CMP just sits there

looking stupid then it may be that it is trying to rebuild the database.

CMP stores an index of all the content in your database in a file called assets.tdx (it also keeps a

backup copy in the ‘cache’ folder called assets.bku When CMP believes the database index has

become corrupt it attempts to rebuild it. If you have a lot of content then this can take some time

as it needs to read through every file in the ‘local’ folder (this is where your content is stored by

the way, but forget you knew that as you really don’t want to mess with it directly, always

manage content through CMP or it will just make things harder)

You can force CMP to rebuild the index by deleting those two files, when CMP next starts it will

re-create them. As I said before, if you have a lot of content this may take some time so you’ll

need to be patient and allow it time to do its stuff. Whilst the index is being rebuilt you will see

this message. Notice it is slightly different to the one shown earlier.

Sometimes forcing CMP to rebuild the database can resolve start-up problems. BUT be aware

that any keywords etc you have added will be lost as they are also stored in the assets.tdx file.
