Set Up An Update Filter

Creating and saving an Update Filter allows you to easily perform this operation at any time

Because this is something that you will probably be doing on a regular basis, it would be a good idea to create and save a CM filter to perform the task of searching for asset updates.

Steps

Open a CM Filter:

	from the Trainz Launcher, select Manage Content in the Filter drop down box, select Custom...
This will produce the following filter options...

Configure:

	open the Asset KUID drop down box and select Out of date leave the Out of date setting at True
This will produce the following filter options...

... and Configure:

delete the Name filter by clicking the (-) button on its extreme right

The final filter selection will look like ...

You can now select and run this filter whenever you want to check for and install any asset updates.

Updating Assets "Installed From the DLS"

If you run your new filter and see one or more updated assets available for download that were "Installed from the DLS", then the process is very simple.

Update DLS01.png

Steps:

select all the items in the list shown as Installed from the DLS
right mouse click on any one of the items and select Download from the popup menu

Update DLS02.png

If the items have any new or updated dependencies that are also on the DLS then CM will automatically find and download them as well

Updating "Built in and Base Assets"

Assets that are Built-in or Base will require a few extra steps to be updated

The method shown above for updating DLS assets will not work for assets that are either Built-in or Base. If CM lists updates for built-in or base assets as available for download then the process involves a few extra steps.

right mouse click on any one of the items and select Download from the popup menu

If the items have any new or updated dependencies that are also on the DLS then CM will automatically find and download them as well

	Steps: select all assets select List Asset Versions from the menu select and download all assets marked Available for download
