@@FSMiner i just hope people stop recycling buildings from old maps or atleast update them to be up to the level of detail as base game its unfortunate when i load into a "new" map to see fs19 or older buildings with a level of detail of a potato chip
Yeah, at this point I do think a huge number of the players just want to buy a big farm with the first 1-2 hours to see what to grind for down the road. I did the same thing in FS19, and first in FS22 i took it a bit slower and find the game kinda more fun.. But I also hunted for the 100% atch.. on Steam.
This is encouraging. I asked awhile back if Giants would share the modding process early to the mod designers. I guess not. I was waiting to see what showed up when you opened up the Steiger and was happy to see something recognizable. I’m anxious to see how quickly the modders are submitting new mods for review. I’m betting pretty quick. Thanks FSG for keeping us informed and entertained.
Giants is too busy patching their beta test on the public to be concerned with releasing the editor and having more headaches. Found at least (5 bugs today).
they heavily rely on mods but not much help from them just from people who figured it out. on their official forum I got answer from staff: go google it... enough
Made a mod in FS22 so as soon as I have FS25 I will start converting it. For me it should not take to much time as I usually stay very close to the in game vehicles with just some tweaks. If they work well I might upload them to modhub.
I'm looking to convert a JCB fastrac I have been working on in FS22. Not much options just some details and stuff. Any tips I have never converted a mod before
I'm an XML tinkerer too and was curious about Precision Farming mod from FS22 and like you, I got as far as seeing it in game menus and store but no textures and I'm sure it'll need the map data reworking, but clever modders I'm sure can do more.
This is the only part of any FS game that I dont play for weeks. Waiting for mods to appear is going to take forever. Some of my favourite mods in FS22 took nearly 2 years to appear, so fingers crossed those mods appear quicker this time. Mods such as: Field Creator, Scania Truck mods, CSZ pack. Once they are out, I'm playing FS nearly Non-stop.😊
Hello mister I can give you the field creator mod, the only problem is that it is not multiplayer supported. This is because something was changed in the GIANTS API, which was not documented yet, but it is singleplayer + FS25 ready.
4:32 ooh this looks interesting. Speaking from experience as someone who's dabbled in the art of editing mods just to get my head around xmls and whatnot, by the looks the reason why the textures look a bit off on the main body of the tractor is because thats all of the areas where it had Udim applied to it on FS22, whereas the cab monitors model number decals etc all use textures and not Udim. If this is the case, depending on what the new GE is like, there's a chance that modders could spend less time re-doing absolutely EVERYTHING and spend more time focusing on getting the Udimmed parts up to scratch with the new material system. But that's just a theory anyway. Again, like FSG said, it's probably best to leave the converting of mods to the makers of the mods themselves. The last thing we want is to have the drama in the early 22 days where people converted mods that weren't done... properly...
Great video FSG and it was worth a go I just hope the power and gearbox configurations, are the same layout so I can tinker so don’t die off shock I have learned a few things since,I asked about course play all those years ago 🤣 and keep up with the awesome work 👏👏👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I don't like how people are somehow afraid to show processes. This is one of the major differences between the FS modding community and the Bethesda modding community. In the BGS world you will always have people showing you how to do stuff and sharing information. Here its all about keeping stuff secret where inly certain people can know certain stuff. I dont understand why this community makes it so hard to learn anything. Sorry for the bit of a rant, but its a sore spot.
I can’t show the process because I’m not an modder and don’t know the process, I know bits and pieces from watching modding tutorials, but I’m definitely not the right person to be showing people how to mod. I’ve always found it easy to find tutorials on RUclips for learning to mod for FarmSim I just don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it just now
@@TheFarmSimGuy I too am not a modder but I do dabble in editing the xml for my own personal use (mostly adding color options to vehicles that don't have it). I know enough to make basic edits but not enough to write a complete script.
@@TheFarmSimGuy I get that. Once again I need to learn to step away from the keyboard at times. My apologies. I really enjoy your content and will continue to do so.
a couple years ago there was some drama in the farm sim modding community. it completely turned me off of attempting to obtain ANY mod outside of the in game hub. bunch of nerds creating drama. mods are supposed to be a work of passion and fun. they made it unfun
I got to say, new editor and the change in textures is a real pain. I opened a mod of the game's plastic water tank that is crap brown, just for a test I was able to change it visually to blue in GE. Got into the game and it was still brown. Opened the id3 file with N++, searched for color, colorScale, and material, and found just two areas that have a color code, set them both to blue, and in-game it's still brown. I open the Albedo map and point it to the dds file I had changed from brown to blue, residing in the folder where the mod is stored, its blue everywhere it can possible be, all I can think of is somehow the mod is still looking at the base-game file still, even after I changed it. Purchased Mod Tutorials 6.0 (wait for email), sure hope there is something in there of what Giants has done with all the layers. I have been unable to load equipment in GE, and tree everything out, and can't come up with the name needed to add color for that surface in its xml. It sure would be nice if Giants would do a tutorial on what they've done, they have killed my ability to do simple editing for what knowledge I have.
@@TheFarmSimGuy I looked at that, it will help, but it doesn't explain the why I loaded a simple (4) side trailer, expanded everything out in the scenegraph, then cycled through every one, and at no time was I able to see the main body or any of the sides highlighted, it's like its been hidden. I did this for several models, I could never locate (highlight) the main body of the model. Previous versions you could just click on the surface you wanted.
i get that people want their mod to continue into the next game but the fact is a good percentage of the converted mods from fs19 and fs22 don't ever get an upgrade they just get slapped into the next game with the same textures same detail and for some mods you can visually see how old they are its like looking at a 3d model from nintendo 64, some of these mods need to go to rest or receive some serious tweaks to update them maybe this new system will push people to stop recycling half a decades old mods and bring some much needed brand new mods to fs25
The amount of time for mods to come on console in fs22 was like a year or so to have nearly everything I wanted to use so at best I’d probably wait a full 2 years for fs25 to have all their mods before I decide to jump ship unless they have a realistic looking western map I could use since fs19 lacked in slot count fs22 was better but all the maps I used in each gen below Fs17-welker farms map Fs19-dhal ranch Fs22-big Texas flats
It would have been nice to see what the building look like from FS22, then we would have been able to find out what the mapmakers are up against. I've heard that Oxy's said that it will be another year before his map comes out. I wonder if that is due to how the buildings are rendered in FS25.
I can say it vividly.....Converting mods with the new Era Will be a total nightmare...I'll stick to my words as I'm pretty sure... cuz my trails yesterday to convert some fun stuff all ended up in the bin..

Very happy it’ll take actual effort to convert. That means less half ass mods that don’t even use the the game engine and giants editors full potential features such as rain and new tires that have mud in the tread etc
This is a garbage thought process, mostly due to concern with mods that might not be maintained or their authors might deem to difficult to move over. You want a game to have the bar as low as possible for modification so it can be more replayable.
