N3V Games, the creators of Trainz, have always allowed people to choose if they want to upload their content to the DLS or not. While this makes things flexible, it does mean that there are often "Missing Dependencies" when other users come to download items from the DLS.

			If items show as Modified, this means that you have created, edited or imported them from a location other than the DLS. If a version of this item does exist on the DLS, you can open the item for edit and "Revert to Original", or delete the item, and redownload it.

			If the item is from a 3rd party website, you can either remove the item from your route, or replace it with another asset that is on the DLS or built-in.

			The Bulk Replace tool does a great job of replacing assets when they are used alot, but there are also times where a more hands-on approach is required.

			You can also use the Bulk Replace + "Replace in Selected Area" to keep your hcanges to a local area where you can check each update individually to see that the replacement items fits into the scen nicely.

			To check which items your route uses that aren't either Built-in or available on the DLS, you can set up a filter in Content Manager as follows:
			* Select the route
			* Right-click and List Dependencies Recursively
			* Add a filter Payware = False
			* Add another filter Builtin = False
			* Add another filter On Download Station = False

			This leaves you with just the dependencies that are not on available for most users (or may not be available at alll if the 3rd party website has closed).

	~~Once again~~, the [[Help:Bulk Updating \|Bulk Update Tool]] is a great starting point, but there are still some areas you need to polish to ensure your new route looks as good as it possibly can.		Again, the [[Help:Bulk Updating \|Bulk Update Tool]] is a great starting point, but there are still some areas you need to polish to ensure your new route looks as good as it possibly can.

			The main thing to watch for is mixing of [[Pbr\|"PBR"]] textures and older textures. Because the PBR textures have a heightmap that gives the illusion of a 3D textures, there is a noticeable "join" where the 2D and 3D textures come together.
