5.5 Warning: The file '' does not exist.5.4 Warning: Tag '' in the container '' is obsolete.5.3 Warning: This asset uses an obsolete trainz-build number.5.2 Warning: Required tag '' was missing and has been set to default.5.1 Warning: Aliased meshes cannot currently be verified by Trainz.These can usually be cured respectively by providing a missing texture (Using PEV's Mesh Viewer to see where they occur and make an intelligent substitution) or by texture stripping the mesh ( IM file) using PEV's Images2TGA in texture stripping mode.Lastly and least often, there are missing texture faults and those using illegal characters (Non-ANSI character coding, mostly from non-English alphabets such as many European languages) in file names which are illegal in Trainz. leading to the fatal crash of Trainz or worse, Blue Screen of Death errors. Many times these are simple typos, some are misspellings (not every contributor speaks English as a native tongue, nor as their first language) and pre-TS08 error checking was far more lenient. Alas, there are some actual errors in downloadable content from not only the DLS but from otherwise reputable 3rd party content creators such as Mocrossing pack (zip file) pack-the fixing of which is covered in a forthcoming tutorial. The Hierarchy Of Assets and config.txt files Asset fixing is something of a misnomer except in rare cases-most widely used assets need fixing by updating to new technology levels-because they have become out of date relative to updates in the game engine's data needs. If you are going to make headway fixing assets, you will need to understand where to look things up.

If you begin exploring Trainz as a building tool, crafting or modifying a route, or venture boldly forth onto the DLS and acquire one of the 2500+ routes uploaded in the last decade- you will indubitably end up facing the learning curve of ' fixing assets'.
