Listing dependencies of dependencies

[wacampbell]

Another question for scenario creators. When we list the rolling stock that a scenario uses, sometimes someone's repaint depends on another payware or freeware package. Maybe a boxcar repaint depends on the B&LE route package from Steam. What do end user's prefer about this. Is it OK to just list the rolling stock we use, or should we also list all the packages that rolling stock depends on?

If you have this information it is much better to provide it.
Hunting for required assets for some routes and scenarios is such a daunting task that I have bypassed many excellent routes because of it.

That's half the adventure.

Seriously I was just informed this last weekend that all my beer cars wouldn't load for anyone who didn't have the CVP wood reefer since I messed up and left some dependencies to it in my cars. It's really easy to do. For anyone who has this problem (I know off topic) I'm fixing them and will re-upload as soon as I have them all done.

In any event it's real easy to have something like this to slip by since even though I get everything beta tested by a couple of folks if they have the same stuff they won't pick this up. I suppose this could be fixed by having a clean slate copy to test each item but boy talk about taking the fun out.
