Awesome, I'm glad it was helpful! Good luck with the maps!!

@bauerbrown thanx

Typically you would draw it on with a lighter color when making the map using a texture like concrete - you want it light enough that it shows up well in Photoshop or comparable program. Once you have it in PS, you draw it on by tracing the original roads on the map.

Some people just don't get it. When you have RUclipsrs like Farmer Bob teaching this type of thing to people just getting into modding ... well, it certainly doesn't help. FB himself doesn't feel like he's doing anything wrong. Up and comers don't know any better and they find themselves "learning" all sorts of bad habits and incorrect information from someone that doesn't have the slightest clue. And then like you said, other people are just lazy and don't care one bit. I feel like it diminishes the community as a whole. When people are are being taught bad information, bad habits, and things like mod theft being ok ... what kind of work can you expect from the people being taught these things? These are not the types of things RUclipsrs especially, should be promoting.

Awesome! I'm glad it worked out for you!!

LOL! Awesome, I'm glad the videos are helping. I had to take some time off, but I'm hoping to get back into making more videos soon.

Sounds like a winner!

LOL, did you finally get it to work out?

No, I have never created another entry for ground types. I would have to take a quick look through the files to see what's actually involved. The layer manager is the first thing that comes to mind but unfortunately that does not include ground types. I'll see what I can find out about it.

@@bauerbrown i'm pretty sure it ended up being i didn't add it to the ranges section it works now but i'm having issues getting the new texture to render at a distance like the other ground types also thanks for your help on multiple things your content is awesome looking forward to seeing you create for fs25 aswell

I do not have a video on required mods, but I really should make one. The process itself is not difficult. I'll put it on the list and make a video on it as soon as time permits.

@@bauerbrown ok, cool

Nevermind. Just watched the video where you show it. Thanx man 👍

Good deal. Glad you worked it out!

@@bauerbrown amazing tutorials btw. Never tried modding before and i'm amazed how good i'm doing thanks to these video's. ✌️

@@fpvnico Awesome! I'm glad it's working out for you!

What script do you use? Is that what you are asking?

Which scripts do you need? Most of them are available on the FarmerBoys website, and a handful are available on mine.

@@bauerbrown Hello just wanted to download everything in one archive if it is possible )

@@RickGrimes-dp7cn I guess that would depend on what "everything" entails. Many of the FarmerBoys scripts come in a single zip format format, but unfortunately everything else is individual scripts available in various places.

@@bauerbrown What if you could drop all of yours that you have in the editor?)

@@RickGrimes-dp7cn The vast majority of what I have in the editor is heavily modified to meet specific needs. I might possibly have clean copies somewhere but you could have them downloaded and installed by the time I even find them.

I'll look into it and see what I can do :)

So simple that I almost feel foolish for not thinking of it, LOL. That's the way it works for me and Blender :) Thanks for the heads up, the info will come in super handy!

@@bauerbrown blender can do so many things that you can learn something new every single day. And it's a great community that helps eachother.

A deco object is just that, for decoration. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to ... sitting there and looking nice. If you wish for it to do something else like act like a sell point or if you want to be able to sell the object itself, you need to make it into a placeable and it must have its own xml.

@bauerbrown oh OK thank you sir always helpful

@@julio4473 If you study a base game placeable it should be relatively easy to figure out what needs to be done. You're basically just replacing one building with another. This is probably something I should do a video on. 👍

How far did you make it into the series? I know the videos are long, but they are packed with useful info and you're bound to miss something if you skip around, especially in the first few videos. ruclips.net/video/AcXxOSRgpdU/видео.html

@@bauerbrown I dont know what exactly was the problem. When I was using placing script from farmerboys it didnt work but when i did it with the one from your webside all worked thanks anyway

I don't know of a list for the channel numbers specifically, but that's not to say that one does not exist somewhere out there. A list of all your fuitTypes can be found in the data/maps basegame folder in the maps_densityMapHeightTypes.xml. There are no channel numbers so you will need to count starting from the top of the list and that will be your channel number. If I recall correctly, you need to start counting from zero instead of one, but I could be mistaken on that. Also, using that xml you could easily create your own channel list for the fruitTypes to use in your map build.

@@bauerbrown im just trying to paint in a stone quarry like whats on deadwood and backroads county but unable to find the correct channels for stones

@@dannygrigsby8576 Make sure to check the file I recommended because stones is on the list ... just start counting from the top.

@@bauerbrown, did that for both basegame one and the one in the map, im not really making a map just editing one to have a quarry, and its like at 30 or 31 on both but when which would be like 1,2,3,4 or 0,1,2,3,4 both would show fruits on down the list on the maps densitymapheight file like at 40 or so i calculated those channels at 30 and 31 but shows like the 40th or so fruit (strawberries and tomatoes) from the greenhouse fruits)

@@dannygrigsby8576 That's odd, I'll have to look into that one. I usually just count from the top and it's never been off more than one. However, to be fair, this is not something that I use often.

This video will explain what the occluder mesh does. I'm attaching the exact timestamp, but there is a lot to learn from the entire video. ruclips.net/video/oHWkLC8j9Yw/видео.html

I'm assuming you are looking for this farmerboysmodding.com/index.php?/topic/2439-new-spline-paint-height-csv-field-creationdimension-panel-scripts/ Since the download link is in a forum post, the more people that post, the more buried the link becomes. It takes a bit of digging to find what you are looking for. Personally, I use the updated scripts quite often for certain things, but I probably use v1.3 even more often and that version is available on my website.

I assume you are talking about the _weight files? Ultimately, the _weight files can be any size you want them to be as long as they are a power of 2. Personally, I think 16384 is overkill and only bloats the size of the map. I don't create 8km maps, but I think 8192 is sufficient. Only you can be the judge. You should play around with the different sizes and decide for yourself.

I haven't done a video on that specifically because I cover deleting items in a few different videos, especially the video on creating a blank map. There's not much to it, but if you feel that there is more that could be covered or explained, I can happily put it on the list and make a video detailing the deletion process.

I wouldn't imagine that would be the case since it's other game studios using the engine and aside from the engine, Giant's has no input in the game. I agree with you though ... I hope Farm Sim never goes downhill.

What path are you using? We'll start there and see what we can figure out. It's not liking the path for a reason.

@@bauerbrown thanks for the reply man, sorry for my late reply, I set the download path as: this PC> windows C > Xbox games (downloaded it through the Xbox app)> farming simulator 22 - windows 10 edition.

@@sea2shore91 I spent some time going through comments looking for a couple specific ones, but was unable to find them so far. The comments had to do with xbox file paths. It seems everyone has problems with this file path, but I do know that it works. You can try this forum thread and see if you can get anything out of it. gdn.giants-software.com/thread.php?categoryId=4&threadId=10799. Hopefully you can find some useful information that will help you out.

@@bauerbrown Thankyou so much

@@bauerbrown thank you

There is no way to disallow something like that when building a map. It will take some troubleshooting to resolve. The first place I would start is to verify you are not experiencing a mod conflict. Mod conflicts can affect the game in very unexpected ways. To be fair, the map is in desperate need of an update so there could always be an unnoticed issue that is causing this, but it's the first I've heard of something like this with the map so it's hard to say.

I disabled the mods and used everything in default, the problem continues, so I'm going to uninstall them one by one, and as you are unaware of this error, the problem is with the mods, thanks for the tips Update: I removed all mods and using the standard large pigsty and fertilizer tanks the AI ​​doesn't pick up the fertilizer, it's an irrelevant issue but if you could take a look at this issue I would appreciate it

@@UncensoredOn Disabling the mods should be enough, you shouldn't have to uninstall them. Like I mentioned, the map can really use an update but I'm pressed for time at the moment. I haven't been inside that map for a while, but I'll look into it and see if I can pinpoint what the problem could be if I'm able to duplicate it. Depending how it goes, it could be a little before I have an answer to what is going on.

No problem, thank you very much

There could be a number of reasons you are not seeing it. Typically, they are not "invisible." The most common issue is that the shed is spawning someplace on the map and you are just not finding it where you expect to see it. Depending on where this shed came from, the origin point and the shed itself could be quite some distance from each other meaning the origin will spawn where you expect it to, but the shed will be in another area entirely. If this is the case, trying within GE to get the shed and the origin point to occupy the same space is not always so easy, it's generally easier to accomplish this within blender. You can try highlighting the shed in the scenegraph and then hover a good distance above the map and see if you can spot the green outline of the shed in another area of the map.

In GE, select "window" on the toolbar and there will be a list available for you turn certain windows on and off.

@@bauerbrown thanks 😃

I would start work again. Even if you finish it after FS25, who cares? It may get less attention, but plenty of people still play older versions of the game and I don't expect that to change. The good thing with it being finished is that it ultimately makes it easier to port it over to a FS25 map when the time comes. I ran into the exact same thing though ... I've been spending much less time on the map lately but it has more to do with time management and burn out than it does lack of interest (there is a little of that also). Mine was started on 22 and it will be finished on 22. I'll decide what to do with it after it's complete and I get a chance to play it to see if it's worth the effort to push over to 25. Either way, once it's done it will be another one in the books and that's never a bad thing. There is nothing sadder than an unfinished map that has tons of potential.

I do have a tutorial that shows how to create rivers and ponds on non-level land, but I don't go into great detail on the river side - it's easy though. I haven't covered anything on the flow of water, but it's something I can put on the list to get done.

It should be interesting indeed, LOL. It's the same engine, but Giants doesn't have a hand in making it so I would think the developers would address those types of issues. It's tough to say, but I'm curious how this will all turn out and why they think Giants Engine is a better fit than the other engines.

I'll definitely buy it to check it out, but I'm not entirely sure who we'll be supporting. Giant's doesn't have a hand in the actual game creation, but I'm sure there is a financial kickback for the use of their engine. Hard to say, they didn't disclose any of the terms of their "partnership."

I could only imagine the possibilities. I'm not sure to what extent it can be modded, if at all. I would assume that was one of the features that attracted them to Giant's Engine, but I guess time will tell.

Agreed! My favorite games are ones with an editor, however they seem harder to find these days.

@@bauerbrown speaking of editors; would you be interested in learning Houdini to use as an external map editor for Farming Sim? I've been using Houdini for about three years with the sole intent of speeding up or simplifying various parts of map making. Paired with scripts in GE, you can do A LOT of stuff relatively easy, and fast. If I just had all the buildings I'd like in the architectural style I required, I think I'd be able to make a map from beginning to modhub submit within a weekend :)

I would absolutely be interested, in fact I've played around with Houdini in the past looking to get into it. I've been following your work with Houdini and it's nothing short of amazing. Anything that saves that much time in the process is well worth the effort to learn. My only problem now is time. I have a few projects that I'm trying to complete before I take on anything else, but Houdini is 100% on my to do list. I'm hoping to have things wrapped up around the time FS25 comes out, and that will free up a lot of time to get into other software. I completely understand about the buildings, that is what is slowing me down the most on my current map.

Just to be clear, the video playing in the background was not the actual game, that was an old version of GTR - In hindsight I should have been clear on that in the video. Only the still images are from the game and they are all pre-alpha, so I'm sure there is room for improvement.

It's really not that bad. It's definitely easier in Substance Painter than in Blender, but Blender is not all that bad either if you have the right tools. I can't speak for IntaMat because I've never fully textured a model through there yet. I'll get to that video in the next couple of days - I have some testing to get out of the way first.

@@bauerbrown look forward to it i'm struggling bad with substance painter lol

Well now you can dial it back some!! It's not a problem with an obvious solution at first glance. I'm glad it worked out for you!!

Right click on it and choose "open with" and then notepad or notepad++. Also, choose "always open with."

Good info! I never thought about trying that, but I'll certainly put it to use. It pays to read the literature for ad-ons, etc.

It's not my website or my script so there wouldn't be much I could do if it was unavailable, however I did check the site and it's still there, you just have to look for it. farmerboysmodding.com/index.php?/topic/2439-new-spline-paint-height-csv-field-creationdimension-panel-scripts/ -> Also remember that you need an account and must be logged in to download.

Sort of, it's only a single export but it contains multiple objects (3 actually) - one is the main object, the other is the LOD or multiple LODs if you choose, and the last would be the occluder mesh.

No problem!

I know their download section is a bit confusing, but there shouldn't be anything keeping you from downloading the app as many times as you need to. I can think of at least two occasions when I downloaded more than once.

As long as it's a 2km map (standard size) it will work for both. If it's any larger than 2km it can be for pc only.

It's most definitely on the list. Right now time is my biggest enemy and it's difficult to pick and choose which videos to do next. I was at least trying to cover all the basics before I started getting into the more advanced stuff. It's coming though, I just don't exactly when.

@@bauerbrown keep up the good work. I gonna start making maps again in 2025. learning allot new stuff with your videos. And making real life area's is a wet dream . ;)

@@John-qe8zt Hopefully it won't be too much longer until I can get started on that series.

I'm not sure how much help it will be, but you can assign attributes to the placeables in their respective xmls and also to the farmland they sit on. In the xml under the <base> tag, you can add <boughWithFarmland> that allows you to own the placeable when you purchase the farmland it sits on, and you can also designate the exact opposite under the same <base> tag, <buysFarmland> lets you own the farmland when you purchase the building. You may have to add remove attributes from the xmls accordingly. This may or may not fix your issue, but it's a starting point. You could also have a mod conflict if you are using better contracts or something similar.

@@bauerbrown Thanks a lot! I managed to fiddle with these a bit and now it kind of works - if someone owns the placeable or the farmland I can set all other farms as a contractor to that farm ingame and then have access to the triggers and it shows the markers. It feels more like a workaround than a solution but that's fine for me and my mates :D
