I appreciate you doing this anyway! I can tell it was annoying but thanks for doing it anyway! ❤❤

[@LAMBOMODS]

It was frustrating! Especially the textures, I really hope that system gets fixed soon!

[@FarmSim609]

@@LAMBOMODS Yes me too! although if you use the vehicleshader its super simple! I'm thinking I'm gonna make a video on it!

[@LAMBOMODS]

the converted one from fs22?

[@FarmSim609]

@LAMBOMODS Yeah, if you go $data/fs22support and then copy the shader file, then get to your fs22 mod that you are trying to convert and paste it in there, then if you open your .id3 with notepad++ and find your line that says $data/shaders/vehicleShaders and delete the $data/shaders/ when you load it in game all vehicle textures will be there!! Do the same for wheels, and they will appear, too! It's a good starter point! You will still have to do some wheel configurations!

[@omniplay.balkan]

Thanks for the tips. It is the worst material system I have seen so far! I tried making mod from scratch, and I found, at least for me, do mesh in the Blender, add material names to each part group, and the do the material setup in the Giants editor itself. And there's a lot of guessing while you work on it! 😁

Hi! I like all the shaders GIANTS was putting into it. Just I'm too lazy to use them lol. Some new shaders included with FS25 for sure.

[@LAMBOMODS]

@@alfaunicorn81 def! I have a bunch of data I have mined recently and ill be sharing that here soon with you guys.

[@GeekSwot]

I fully understand that. Which is why I just separate the materials on blender, join it back without doing anything else, then export. I'll just do the colors and other material details on GE. It's so frustrating when doing it the first time in blender then after export almost nothing is exported.

Hello, I want to create 2 colored stripes on 1 truck. How could I do this? Do you have a tutorial on this?

[@LAMBOMODS]

@@LachyGames-ei8ud I don't have a video on this. Actually really difficult. Export to blender, make the stripe meshes, and shrink wrap the mesh to body of truck.. export back to GE. Assign colors and wala... If your lost, this is not a task to try just yet.

[@LachyGames-ei8ud]

@@LAMBOMODS If you could create a tutorial in the future I and the farming community would appreciate it.

turn on "shared editing mode" I had the same annoying problem with having to edit the i3d through xml to fix the materials before I turned it on.

[@montysavage8721]

Great video. How do i edit certain parts of a vehicle that are "options" in the store on my scenegraph? Like i have paint matched mirrors and paint matched bumpers that are hidden in the scenegraph. I can see them on the scenegraph, but they aren't highlighted, and when i click on them or export that specific part to Blender, they won't show up. They dont even show up in giants editor. Or how can i delete those options without getting any errors? Thanks for your help!

[@LAMBOMODS]

Don't do any work in the i3d if you are just trying to remove options. In the xml under design configuration, or another configuration you can just comment out code of the configuration. Follow xml rules and should work

[@montysavage8721]

@LAMBOMODS ok but if I want to add the new material to the options that aren't visible in ge. How would I do that? I cant see them when I click on them or export them to add material. Thanks for the response.

[@jobcronin]

Do you know why my normal lights flash like blinkers after using that shader method

[@LAMBOMODS]

could be UV mapped wrong in blender, hard to know without seeing it/

[@jobcronin]

@@LAMBOMODS oh thats probly why thank you for this totorial its the best one ive found

[@mikolaiko34ki38]

Seems that a far easier option for someone who's just starting out would be to take a stock... something, say the oldpickup and replace the body with a different model. ...damn, that actually sounds like an idea.

[@mikolaiko34ki38]

Couldn't figure out how to. Stock vehicle's structure is weird, there's no object holding the body itself and only itself, so there's no real way to just go ahead and replace it. Not even a way to make it invisible, at least i couldn't figure out one.

Hi Lambo. I am trying to convert an FS22 mod ( for personal use ). I have the mod open in Giants Editor 10.0.3 and my first error is this one, ERROR RED_ILLUMINATED DASH 1_001 ,51 ) DOESN'T HAVE ALL REQUIRED VERTEXATTRIBUTESFOR MATERIAL "RED_ILLUM' fs25. sorry for the caps. How do I rectify this error?

[@LAMBOMODS]

Thats a light error, either delete the light or import a new one from ingame. If it has to be that mesh, export to blender to make it work as a light. Id suggest watching prior episodes of this converting section, I cover quick fixes.

how do i add my mods to giants editor?

[@lynlynch2545]

File>Import Mod "For zipped folders only">

[@samuraidriver4x4]

The giants tools are just awful. If its not the texture tool not functioning its the testrunner not working because giants editor crashes while its trying to check for an update. And people complain about the game itself but thats perfectly playable even with the slight issues.😂😂 But got my first placeable mod done and uploaded for fs25 thanks to alot of your video's. curious if it gets approved in a few weeks. Used ingame textures as placeholders for the most part as the model is far from finished. Pretty much made loose components and going to join them later and bake proper textures for it. Main issue i am having is learning blender but slowly improving.
