This plugin is for Blender version 3.0.0 and above. It allows the SplineCSV data created in the Spline CSV Creator script to be directly imported into Blender instead of having to use an earlier version of Blender and exporting/importing as an obj. NOTE: The latest version of the CSV script (available here https://farmerboysmodding.com/index.php?/topic/2495-fs-25-updated-scripts/ ) creates an .obj file of the spline in the CSVdata folder that can be directly imported into Blender without the need for any CSV conversion Installation Download the spline_csv_importer.zip file at the bottom of this topic. Open Blender (3.0.0 and above) …

Create Duplicate Offset Splines This is an updated version of an original script by TracMax all I have done is added a simple panel UI and allowed the creation of a new folder (parallelSplines) in the same place as the map.i3d for the newly created i3d and txt files. As always copyright remains with the originator. One use of the script is when creating roads/lanes etc as it creates a new spline at the chosen distance parallel to the original so making it easy to add fences/power lines etc aligned to the roadway/lane and also for traffic/pedestrian splines The updated FS25 version of this script is available here -- https://farmerboysmodding.…

Create Field Dimensions and Farmlands Tutorial This tutorial will endeavour to show you how to create field dimensions, paint the farmland area (InfoLayer_farmlands.grle) and automatically add the relevant farmland entries in the farmland.xml together with painting your chosen Ground Type (i.e Plowed,Cultivated etc) and painting foliage at a chosen growing state on the chosen field using custom scripts. For clarity the abbreviation TG will be used to denote a Transform Group throughout this tutorial. I would like to thank Modelleicher for allowing me to use and giving permission to slightly modify the following scripts in this tutorial in order t…

With the advent of FS22 and its new texture regime I thought I would post this as a way of creating all the necessary image textures from a diffuse image (Height, Normal, Metallic, Smoothness, Edge, AO and Specular) that will (maybe) be required. For this I am using a FREE texture programme called Materialize available here http://boundingboxsoftware.com/materialize/ The programm allows the creation of PBR (Physically Based Rendering) POM (Paralax Occlusion Map) and Seamless texture's from a suitable image and has many editing functions so many in fact that I have put a couple of youtube links at the end should you wish to learn more about the programme, there are …

NOTE: An updated version of the Spline CSV Creator Panels script is available here https://farmerboysmodding.com/index.php?/topic/2471-spline-csv-creator-panel-updated/ This new version creates a spline.obj file from the newly created spline for direct import into Blender without the need to convert from a .csv file This spline.obj will still need converting to a curve in Blender to create roads etc. There are two parts to this tutorial, the first part deals with creating a 2D spline in Giants Editor and using the Spline CSV Creator scripts to create a new spline aligned to the terrain with more cv's at a chosen set distance along it.…

I've been mucking around redoing some of the foliage on my map, and using this script. I'm noticing an odd thing, that the foliage I'm getting is "shifted" or offset to where I'm actually painting by what appears to be a single pixel. This is the masked area, I run the script and it puts grass here You can see on the left that it appears to be outside the masked area, but on the right edge it seems to have respected it better. Now If I then run a different "creator" to remove the foliage from the areas covered by the indoor mask, you'll see it's shifted even more. Before After You can see that none of the grass on the bottom l…

FS25 Import Placeables This is an updated version of the FS22 script which allowed the import into a map of all the placeable items in the placeables.xml (placeables.xml can be from a save game or another map) Original available here https://farmerboysmodding.com/index.php?/topic/2480-import-placeables/ With the changes made to placeables in FS25 the script will only import placeables that are not already in the map i.e. those who have not been preplaced using the placeables.xml <placeable isPreplaced="true" , any subsequent changes made to position/user attribute etc will still have to entered manually in the placeables.xml or by the Plac…

FS25 Spline Modifier Script (Updated) This script allows for the creation of several types of duplicate modified spline’s from a single or multiple splines It will also reverse the direction of the duplicate spline(s) align them to the terrain and join several splines together to form one new spline depending on the option(s) selected. Whilst individual splines can be selected and converted, if multiple splines are selected they must all be in the same direction starting from the first splines ‘S’ cv, this is also a prerequisite when joining splines using the Combine Splines option. Installation Unzip the FS25_splineModifier_Updated.zip (av…

To clear up a misunderstanding ; None of the current User Attribute or Spline Panel script versions of any of the published scripts will work with GE 8.2.2 However I have now modified some of these scripts to work with GE 8.2.2 these are available in the 8.2.2 scripts.zip at thebottom of this topic. Instructions for use are in the scripts themselves also a READ ME file has been added containing further information A brief explanation of why the latest User Attribute/ Spline Panel scripts don't work with the older versions of GE. GE uses a cut down version of LUA which only allows certain variables/commands to be used in any scripts created…

The past Year I have been teaching myself Houdini, which I thought would be the ultimate "do it all" tool for maps. 🙂 With the toolkit I've made I can create roads which will adapt to and adjust the heightmap (including AI and traffic splines) create railway tracks which will adapt to and adjust the heightmap, and create the required spline for the train system create road barriers create cascading rivers with flowmaps create field dimensions which at the same time will smooth the rough terrain beneath, and export helper objects to create all the field dimensions in one click in GE texture the map using different selectors such …

I really don't want to have to do the indoor mask by hand as I find the painting tools in GE tedious to say the least. I have written a script which will take a start, width and height parameter from transform groups in the same way as you'd define them for a single placeable, and paint the area for you. Just set the TG's in the corners of buildings you want to be excluded from the snow fall. This works create for buildings/objects that are square, but won't work for roads or different shaped buildings particularly easily. However, I see there's a script shipped with the GE which creates a mask for you, using raycasts to find the objects and so on. However, if I run …

Hi guys, my name is Wilson and I'm new in this community, I need help. I started a map and today I was editing it and the exact same moment I clicked to save the game the power went off and my PC turned off without completing the saving, when I rebooted it the map don't open anymore, it opens the Giants Editor and right after that closes, the only backup I have is old, I have made a lot of changes, is there any way to recover the previous save? Thank you.

After testing all the scripts it seems that they all still work with the new editor. However there is a new GUI set up for scripts in Giants Editor (user attributes no longer used for variables) so I will be updating all the scripts to use this new system along with some slight coding changes for better perfomance, You can check out the new GUI system by selecting Scripts --Terrain --Painy Terrain By Spline also the Giants Editor version of the Set Terrain Height by Spline now has a smoothing option. The new editor itself seems to be a lot better regarding terrain/ foliage painting with more masking options and less jagged edges. IMPORTANT: Make s…
