The problem is this. I created destructible rocks on the map. Everything is just like on the original American map. 6 groups of 4-5 rocks with flags, spots, etc. I start the game. The rocks are already there. If I buy a plot and break them, they won't appear again. But if I don't buy a plot, but hire a job breaking these rocks, they're destroyed during the mission, but as soon as I get paid for the job, they're right back. I think this isn't supposed to be the case, and I've done something wrong or missed something somewhere. Please help me fix it.

As far as I remember, files like infoLayer_limeLevel.png infoLayer_plowLevel.png infoLayer_rollerLevel.png infoLayer_sprayLevel.png infoLayer_stubbleShredLevel.png infoLayer_weed.png used PNG format in FS22, but for some reason, FS25 says they are obsolete files and asks to convert them to dds format. Is this critical, and do I really need to convert them to dds or can I leave them in png format?

Just in case anyone still doesn't know how to fix the error in this script, I'll provide one method below. Create a local copy of the script: Go to the GE installation folder: C:\Program Files\GIANTS Software\GIANTS_Editor_10.0.11\scripts\map\placeables. Copy the file PlaceableToolkit.lua. Paste it into your user folder: C:\Users\[Your_Username]\AppData\Local\GIANTS Editor 64bit 10.0.11\scripts. Open the copied file with a text editor (e.g., Notepad++). Find line 363 (or similar), which should look like this: i3dFilename = Utils.getFilename(i3dFilename, self.settings.modFolder .. "/") Replace it with the following block: …

I've integrated the mod into the map. (Almost 😆) It's a standard bulk buying station. Everything is identical to the limeStation_PLACE from the US map. Same groups, same user attributes, everything is written in the same way in placebles.xml, storeitems.xml, etc. Only the bunker (the buying station itself) and, respectively, the paths to its files have been replaced. We log into the game. The bunker is there 😍, but there's no icon or hotspot 😪. (The bunker is on a non-buyable farmland.) We go into the construction menu, buy an identical bunker, place it on our land, and the icon is there. The log file is clean. A question for the experts: what did I do…

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.
