This script can be used to easily place fences/power lines on a map using a spline. It consists of a basic spline placement script and a modified easyFence script (by modelleicher) combined with some extra enhancements. The script works by first placing posts/poles aligned to the terrain along a spline, it then places fence boards/wires on these posts/poles scaling them to match the distance to the next post/pole. To install download the script (available at the end of this tutorial) unzip the fencePowerPlacement.zip and Copy/Paste the script into C:\Users\Your Computer Name\AppData\Local\GIANTS Editor 64bit 9.0.4\scripts. Once installed, …

Hi I have made a 4x4 map as an extension of riverSpring, and I am now going to make traffic splines, and I know how to make them in GE, but is there a possibility that when I have made the road in Bender and can take points from the road in blender, that these points can be exported to GE as a spline?

Errore one: While working on modding my map I often start a new savegame and the shader file deleted. It seems to me that I randomly get this error. Starting vanilla or oder custom maps (including all my downloaded mods) no errors occure. In many days of work tried to insulate the responsible transfergroup in the GE. No success. Staring the game with the existing shader and savegame, these errors disapeer. My questions: Are these errors matter playing the game? Is there a connetion with the error "Shader archive 'shared/shader_dx12_q3_sb1_s16_sf0_t3_ao1_bn0_r1_v1_sr0_v60_f60_sg.sharc' cannot be found." ? Is there any adwise how t corret his erro…

Hello, at first, thank you for your GE mapping scripts. But I have a problem with the spline CSV Creator Panel now. I tried to continue my mapping in the last days but the script won't work. My last created working splines are from Oct. 4th. So I guess it maybe depends on the latest FS/GE Update from Oct. 7th. It only creates a broken I3D, an empty xml and no .obj file. Editor log: Script error in getTerrainHeightAtWorldPos: Unknown entity id 0 for 'object' in method 'getTerrainHeightAtWorldPos'. LUA call stack: =[C]:-1 getTerrainHeightAtWorldPos =C:/Users/Robert/AppData/Local/GIANTS Editor 64bit 10.0.8/scripts/Spline Panels/Spline CSV Creator Panel…

Hey community, I have a problem where when I go into the Giants Editor and build my map, everything runs very smoothly for the first 5-10 minutes. However, as soon as I'm in the editor for a longer time (about 5-10 minutes), it lags extremely and feels like I'm only getting 20-25 FPS. I have an RTX 3080 and 32GB DDR5 RAM and an i9 14900k. Does anyone know the problem and can help me?

I'm new to modding, and I'm making my own. I'm trying to place two fields in one farmland, is it even possible? When I try to set crop on that field it doesn't work. Works on the others, so it is not the problem. Also in game the numbers for fields and farmlands are the same. How do I do it right? And how to set a field as meadow? When I set fruit type in the fields.xml it does't work.

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to FS and the GIANTS Engine, coming from modding in the sim racing scene 😉 Getting my head around how "terrain" works in GIANTS wasn't exactly easy at first 😅 I've modeled a complete field in Blender and don't really need the terrain generated via DEM. However, I’d love to use the built-in paint tools (e.g. for foliage, detail layers) on my custom terrain mesh. 1. Is there any way—or maybe a script—that allows painting directly onto a mesh instead of the GIANTS terrain? As a workaround, I converted my 3D mesh into a heightmap, imported it into GIANTS Editor, and adjusted the height scale to match my original mesh as clo…

Hi all, I've been trying to figure out how to use the polygon points to put a hole in my field. I tried making another polygon point transform under the field and adding points to make a new polygon but it doesn't seem to get recognized when I try to repaint the field. I even tried reversing the winding order but that didn't seem to help either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a new way of creating roads in GE 10, still in pre release but worth keeping an eye on, in german but easily translatable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2_4s4y_dGY https://www.modding-welt.com/mods/file/3289-roadcreator-scriptpack-fs25-pre-release/ I seem to remember something similiar before in FS15/17 but it was never released.

Does anyone know why I am not seeing all of my terrain map LODs in the Giants Editor? It looks fine on a 2k map, but as soon as I try to make a 4k map it looks like this, I have tried several community blank 4k maps and its the same thing. I checked my map.xml and they are set for 4096 map resolution, and I have ran the editor scrip to change it to up to 8k usage. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, do you have someone who knows how to use procedural placement? The only function I know is the one for placing trees and textures for roads. I have no idea how it works.
