- In this video tutorial for Farm Sim 22 and Giant's Editor 9.0.3 I will show you how to properly make a flat, blank map complete with boundary walls to keep all of your vehicles on the map. This 2km map is the jumping off point for all other size maps - it all starts here. Get this down pat on you'll be good to go for all of your future projects!
Thank you sir for taking the time to develop the UTV and sharing your knowledge. Looking forward to your other how toos as well. Subscribed & Liked. "Have A Great Day",
Thank you! This is just what I needed. I "knew" everything through watching your series, but I needed to know I wasn't missing anything. I agree that I don't want to inherit another creators problems, which is why I made the comment I did in the other video. I have been using n k man's land because it is pretty stripped and I know alien Jim is a good modder, but frankly, I would rather not use anyone's work even for a personal map. I would rather just start from scratch and, for my use, keep it simple. Anyway, thanks again.
my placeable xml is just a microsoft edge page and i cant delete them like in the video. Thank you
Right click on it and choose "open with" and then notepad or notepad++. Also, choose "always open with."
Thank you for doing this i have been trying different tutorials and this is the only one i have actually managed to get to work :) ty ty. subscribed and liked
I appreciate this video so much! Now I have a working blank map with no issues. I was wondering if you have a video on how to increase the map size yet? I can't seem to find one on your channel and I'm not sure if I'm just missing it or not. Thanks!
Not yet. Actually, that's the next series. We'll be doing a 4km map and going a little further beyond just the basics.
could you do a video explaining how to add a wood or any sell/production to a map via GE
All buy/sell/production points, no matter what they may be .... are all placeables. If you check out episodes 18 and 18.1 in the tutorial series I explain all about placeables and how to get them into the map, configure them, etc. You'll probably discover that it's much easier than you think. Give it a watch and if you have any questions just HMU.
I did just as you said, but once i try the map on the game, the “old” farmlands appear and the map isn’t entirely sellable
Check the file path for the farmlands.xml, it's most likely still pointing toward the base game game copy.
Once you have completed this step is it possible to add a background map to copy? Like my local area?
It is for sure. I plan on doing a series on it, but that's still a little ways off. I've been so far behind with videos these days. Hopefully things settle down soon and I can get back to it!
Liked and subbed.... Just starting my Map making journey... found so much crap here on YT... Your videos are very informative and will serve me well. THANK YOU!!! 🙂
Awesome! I'm glad you are finding them helpful! I have a ton of videos planned, just not enough time in a day to get them all done. If you have any questions, just ask.
@@bauerbrown Will do!
I've been watching a lot of videos as I'm working on my first map. I've seen a lot of people deleting/removing that "outside boundaries" terrain/scenery, but never seen how to get something new back. So outside the borders. Really confused on that part ATM, as I don't want to drive to the edge of the map, hit a border and see a gap on the other side. Or do you set the outside of the map bigger then the playing field(inside) and landscape the outside yourself? I'm wondering cuz I don't wanna make a to big of a map as I wanna sent it to console.
If you are talking about the map border, that has always been a bit of an issue since there are not very many prefab map borders available out there. You can import any of the base game borders and re-use them, which isn't always so easy since they are not completely flat, or you can make your own. The ones from earlier versions of Farm Sim would also work. The best way is also the most technical way, which is to create them in Blender, texture them, and import back into GE. There is a simple, generic way to do it within GE that I will put into a video at some point and show you guys. They don't look too bad, but they are completely flat. When the website is ready, hopefully I will have some available for download there. Making the map bigger than it needs to be just so you can use the outside of it as a border is the absolute worst idea, even though I have seen it done. Don't do it! For now, just try Googling where to download some (if you can find them), or re-use the ones from the base game. I'll work on some video ideas of what to do with the border issue and try to get that out there at some point.
@@bauerbrown yeah talking about the area outside those borders. Thanks for telling me what not to do, appreciate it! 👍🏻 Thanks for the information and looking forward to see a how to fix that issue. Glad it's been an issue longer, confused I couldn't find any info about that lol
Now where and how do you put the buyable farmland with fields?
This video was just about making the blank, what to do with farmlands and fields is actually two other videos. I did videos on both subjects if you look through my tutorial series.
Hello Bauer Brown great video you did a very good job but I have an issue WEn I went ot test the map in game I have all the fields with crops and I can buy the land like the base game
I have use the US map to make like you did on the video
Can you help me please?
how I delete that?
thanks a lot
I'm using the latest version of the editor by the way
Did you delete all the fields from the scenegraph like the video shows when you created the blank? Also, did you blank out the farmlands infoLayer like it shows you?
@@bauerbrown yes I did ,did everything like the video
I can't find the maps in the mod loader
Which maps? All maps, or just the ones that you created? When you say "mod loader," you mean it's not showing up with the rest of the maps in-game?
Did you ever make a video on how to scale up to larger maps? I've seen the video about map sizes, but that seemed more like a debate video on the use of "x" in size designations, not really how to scale up a map like this. I'm trying to make a 16km map, but I am having many odd issues such as weight texture files not loading, odd shadows, etc.
Not yet I haven't, but it is on the list. As soon as the Blender series is done I'll likely start on a 4km, and almost all of those rules apply to larger maps.
@@bauerbrown alright. Do you at least know of any existing guide into how to do this?
@@bobgrey6137 I do not unfortunately. Maybe check Farmer Bob? He seems to think he knows what's he's doing :)
@@bauerbrown Who? Where do I find him?
@@bobgrey6137 Type his name into the YT search.
Following along and giving it a go. Thanks for the great instruction!
You'll do fine, I'm sure of it! If you haven't already, the tutorial series on this channel is a great place to start once you create your blank map. The videos with the black thumbnails and an episode number are all part of the series. Good luck!
@@bauerbrown Yes, I’ve been going through all of your videos, they’re informative and fun. One step at a time for me. Thanks again!
@@RurallyRetreated Awesome, glad to hear! If you have any questions, just ask!
Really good video, but when I try to remove the info layer painting, it fills the entire map with a dark green color.. I do not know what I am doing wrong!
Figured it out, I had not changed LMB back to Add :p Still get problems as I go along though, with it being all green on the map (grass) so I can't acctually see the next steps :(
Which infoLayer are you working with? If it's farmlands, check every single infochannel checkbox to set it to it's highest value, and then paint the entire map that color. THEN come back and start adding your farmlands.
@@bauerbrown I'm 33:00 minutes into the video you posted, and when I do the brush thing there it's good, I got it white, but then it's all green and I can't see another color then the grass.. I don't know where I went wrong, I did exactly as the video :p
@@relevantend so you paint it all white at the highest value, then switch to farmland 1 in the drop down, everything should turn purple except where you are currently painting farmland 1 - that should be white. That's what you are doing? I think I did an individual video on creating farmlands, it might help to check that one out.
@@bauerbrown Yeah, figured it out! But ran in to a new problem when saving and exiting the giants editor. When I was done with removing the placebles I struggle with opening up my map again in the editor. I can make a new one, but if I try to open my new map the program just shuts down on me :(
YOUSE GUIS = ILLINOISE
LOL, good guess ... but that's not it. I'm within a 3 state radius if Illinois :)
COUSINS MOVED FROM MISSISSIPPI TO THERE AND CAUGHT THE YOUSE GUIS TALK. THEN MOVED BACK. THEY GOT THEIR ASSES KICKED IN BOTH STATES FOR THE 2 ACCENTS. AROURAS ABOUT THE DIRTIEST TOWN I HAVE EVER BEEN IN BESIDES PARADISE KENTUCKY!!!@@bauerbrown
