Editing Maps With The Giants Editor Tool & Hidden Collisions - FS22

[@icmdead1]

Thanks for this, i've just started my own playthrough on Court's Farms and i've picked a house with garden to move into. Using your videos i've used GE for the first time, deleted the house and garages i couldn't access and i've found the hidden collisions and removed these as well!

Thank you so much Croft, I’ve had this issue for so long and didn’t know what to do. Legend 👌

[@Scroft]

Happy to help

[@dartmoormike]

Really helpful Scroft - just like your last video on deleting items from the map! Thank you.

[@busyb1504]

Amazing video Scroft I may give personalising a map a go. One thing is for sure though, it has certainly given me a renewed appreciation of the amount of work and detail that Oxy goes into and the intricacy that all Moders have to get into. Kudos to them all.

[@ranwolfFARM]

That is amazing. I'll just stick with playing what the game gives me. I'm not smart enough to do that. What really took the fun out of Farming Simulator was when they removed Extended Placeable mod that allowed a player to place anything right next to another object. I use to be able to place small buildings inside my animal pens. Was able to butt buildings up against on another. Losing that mod crippled my gameplay. I keep hoping they put it back in. Looks like I have plenty of time to watch more videos. My wife and I have covid. Thank you for the video.

[@Scroft]

Hope you and your wife are okay and get better soon. Look for a mod called place anywhere. It might be just what your looking for 👍👍

[@ranwolfFARM]

@@Scroft Thank you so much for the info.

[@ranwolfFARM]

@@Scroft I can't find that mod. Thanks anyway.

[@l3g3ndsgaming7]

This feature is still in game, when in the build menu, look in the top left help menu, should say something like freeroam or something like that, I know on PC the key to hit is V to turn it on and off... Be careful though, would suggest, snap build and saving just before placing...

[@DecemberFarms]

Good stuff Scroft! Helps give me a little more confidence in trying out the Giant’s Editor

[@minecraftmum3436]

I am never likely to alter a map, it's frankly more effort than I'm willing to put in. BUT hats off to you Scroft! This is a fascinating insight to the amount of time and passion you put into your roleplay videos. I'm even more impressed with your series 🚜🚜

[@grahamchestnut6510]

until you land scape and make a mess where you can't live with it , i just need to learn how to remove some baked in roads

[@gooniegromer3957]

Thank you for showing the community how to make great maps even more personalized for our own gameplay!

[@billfromkcmo1]

This one taught me alot thank you.

[@BeardyBam]

Top stuff as always Scroft! As my series is developing this tutorial will be really handy to make those finer adjustments to my map. Take care as always buddy 👍

[@PaleriderGBR]

Very useful! Would be great to see another one on how to add items too scroft 😊

[@uwanna62]

Totally helpful videos! Made things much easier for me. I started using GE to edit a FS 22 map for my personal preference and watching your vid's helped a bunch! Thanks!

[@Farm_Sim_Brisco]

When you click on an item to delete some of these items are child transform groups with in the parent transform. It’s good to keep an eye on scenegraph because more often than not if you delete the parent transform group it will remove those hidden collisions…

[@SEPK09]

MASSIVELY helpful cheers Scroft, building can now resume ;) cheers fella

[@theironwolf2421]

Thanks this video helped me once again...

[@thekrlegion1803]

Also if you highlight the main category and the collisions show up just click on the collision and hit delete

[@crankingchrisoutdoors414]

This is a perfect video always wondered how to do this would also be nice to learn how to edit mods like animal capacity and such. great job bud

[@Scroft]

Thanks Chris

[@JamieAyling]

Clear, concise and informative. Thanks Scroft give me confidence I’d be able to make some edits. Have you ever used prefabs on the mod hub to add add buildings in ? Or do you just add them in game with what’s available. Be interesting to see also if any map makers would hold a competition of private edits that they would then allow people to share through the map makers own Facebook /discord etc

[@Scroft]

That's a great idea

[@chagaarbellal4983]

Its works 😁😁😁 more than 120 hectares in one field

[@sassa77]

I really appreciate everybody’s effort making or changing a map because Im also planning to make some changes. But. Nobody shows the whole process in details. I mean how to save the changes to see it in the game. I tried once but nothing happened. And any further infos e.g do we need to start new same games after these and those changes.. etc.. I know it is a dummy stuff but we are mostly beginners in this topic.. keep up the nice work bud

[@chagaarbellal4983]

Thank you so much

[@chiefwiggum1976]

I’d love to make a couple of tweaks to Calmasden, but I use a Mac so can’t get GE

[@JordC93]

I have this same problem! limited to just editing XML files

[@Scroft]

It's a shame it can't be done on mac

[@JordC93]

@@Scroft drives me nuts the amount of limitations on a mac still these days, asif Mac is a new platform 😂 boggles the mind

[@Scroft]

@@JordC93 Yeah, it's crazy

[@davidrichardson2311]

I loved this, how do I remove a field completely from I3d and it wont show up on PDA. And to add new fields and make them show up on PDA.....Thanks

[@JordC93]

Really want to use GE but I can't figure out a way to run it on my Mac!

[@sirluckygee]

play the game from fs17, never used it, gonne try it out now

[@mikefritza5203]

I flattened a map, now my windrows(swaths) are hard to see. I think they might be under the terrain. How do I fix this?

[@RCUKScaleModels]

I want to do my own custom version calmsden Farm I cannot find a map hedge boundary it seems to be hidden by do I find them?

[@grahamchestnut6510]

a great help thank you , i think i will just make my own map , rather than fix the one i am playing . all i want is a nice views and relaxing game play , why map makers bake in side roads roads , forcing you to build in the middle of a field , instead of beside the road is beyond me

[@jakubdudkiewicz7611]

I did everything you said but I still can not remove the gate and the building gates. I mean I removed the buldings on the farm, but when I start the game there are still gates in the place of the building. I can not find them in the GE and I think they have no collision. How could I get rid off them? Great video, btw.

[@shadowsssniperhd6972]

hi, is it hard to remove the borders around the map? i really like the map pannsylvania but he only used 60% of the map and i want to extend it

[@theodevoti1416]

Anytime I make a change to calmsden in ge it bumps the file size to over 600kb and then when I start my game up it gets stuck on 85% loaded when I’m the game does anyone know how to fix this problem??

[@badwolf5245]

Anyone know if the map would still work for crossplay players afterwards?

[@rawswedegaming]

How can i remove a field and then make a forest area of it, do i have to find the filed number and just delete it or is it possible to change foliage?

[@GOBoysRP]

I believe you can use the Easy Development Controls Mod to accomplish this on an existing field on a map. Or simply plant saplings in the field, but of course that is gameplay and if you want to change the ground level, use in game construction.

[@patrickmurray5908]

Hey scroft, love your videos and content keep it going. Just one question, why when you've edited a map why does it tell you to update the map... driving me nuts any help

[@Scroft]

Thanks Patrick. It's because the game thinks it's not up to date now as it's been changed. You can stop this by changing the mod name in the mod description after you've edited the mod or map

[@freestyles113]

If this is giants editor 9 I KEEP TRYING TO DELETE THINGS BUT IT DONT LET ME EVEYONES USELESS

[@piotrkruczynski8132]

Still I have problem with disappeared trees and other objects after removed home, straw bales, hidden collisions and created ground collision map :( somebody help me?

[@alanstobbart1602]

Wish I could work out how to get rid of the stupid false hay bale stacks

[@Scroft]

You can remove them ingame. Open the construction menu and remove the item

[@alanstobbart1602]

@@Scroft how stupid am I !!!! I spent hours looking in the editor for the secret missing bits ha ha ha. By the way thanks for the video it saved a major difficulty I was having with that dam caravan could delete but it always left something behind and was having a devil of a job trying to find what it was. If it is this hard to get rid of stuff it must be a nightmare building a actual map. All credit to map builders. Anyway many thanks for the reply and keep up the great work with the farm hand, its like a tv show wait for the next episode all week ha ha
