Good afternoon, Mr. Bob!!!! I would like to thank you for your content, you helped me in many ways to create my map! I have learned a lot from you, despite the fact that I do not understand English!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!! You help a lot of people, thanks to your videos and your examples!!!!

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

thanks so much, it is my pleasure :)

[@МаксимПышнов-в7б]

No man's land diamond acres is my work, even if not the author's, but these are just the first steps! I made this map thanks to you!!!!!!

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Awesome job my friend 😊

[@Simmygameplay]

I think farmerbob for all those videos help people out who want to make a map. Im in a process making a map my self. With out him this wont be possible not a lot of other people talking about how to put everything together and again thank you farmerbob

Hi, Bob! First of all, thank you very much for the mode hint. It works. 😉 As to this topic, I've installed selling/production point as a mod on my map. It works as a production point if I buy it with the land under it, but... it never works as a selling point, and I can't close the contracts relating to this point. 🤭Pls, be so kind to tell me what I missed in the installation process. 😁

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

ok have you tested the mod on a map first, sometimes mods dont work, so first test it on elmcreek or any other map to check it works.

[@ritamax8493]

@@FarmerBoBonKZbin Sure, I have! I've checked everything I knew. All the other mods with same function don't sell but product on my map either. So it's my crooked hands problem not the mods.😆 Maybe I don't understand, but in my opinion, if I don't own their land, they have to work as a selling point. They apear in the list as a selling point with the prices and so on, but they don't sell. 🤗 Tell me the spell, pls. 😉🤣

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

@@ritamax8493 ok then your only option will be to unzip the mod into your map, convert it to a placeable and install it permanently in your map, then you can configure the mods xml with "boughtwithfarmland=true" and set its farmid=0 (remeber to transfer the needed content from the mods moddesc to your maps moddesc)

[@ritamax8493]

@@FarmerBoBonKZbin Yahoo! ))) The spell was: 'Neither farmid nor defaultFarmProperty for this point in placeables.xml' as they wrote in the original maps files. ))) I had boughtwithfarmland=true. It binds the land with the point but don't switch on the selling. And what is farmid=0?

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

@@ritamax8493 cool, id=0 is for placeables that is not part of the playerbase for ownage

[@farmerrabbit]

Great video.. One thing I was wondering about, when I start in new farmer gamemode, I start with all the buildings, but in farm manager gamemode, I can't seem to figure out how I set it up so when you start in this farm gamemode, you start with the farm buildings also, right now they are gone, just like in starting from scratch gamemode.

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Managing buildings for the different game mode is all setup via the line in the placeables.xml as well as the buildings own xml. In my Nevada Map conversion series, i showed how to setup 3 farms , the main farm and 2 other farms which you van purchase in the other modes.

[@ReithAcademy]

Hey Bob, I was wondering if it's possible to move your map to the mod folder to test it before you upload it to the modhub.

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

I only work out of the mods folder, i have my map unzipped in the mods folder, that way i can work directly on the map, test it in game aĺl at once untill its ready.

[@ReithAcademy]

Hi Bob is it possible to import an unloading trigger i3d file to use as a silo so that the building is just for looks and the trigger itself is linked to the mod xml that has the silo capacity

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Yes totally, in my nevada conversion series i did a whole video on a coal mine. Taking a lime sell point and converting it to a coal sell point. Similar process.

[@ReithAcademy]

@@FarmerBoBonKZbin thx

[@Valo-Ran63]

Hey Bob Can you please do a tutorial of how to convert mods but in reverse From 22 to 19 I was asking you since late 2022 It will be an interesting tutorial from you +I will donate if I should

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

I remeber that brother, it is a beast if a video since it is reverse engineering. I will look into that.

[@justsayinghey...]

Awesome, thanks!😊

[@ReithAcademy]

with the default farm property, I don't have that in my mod which is aa selling station, would a selling station mod not have the default farm property line

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

No, sellpoints are notmally not owned by farmers except for production points. So sellpoint are not defaultfarmproperty. Watch my video on setting up a sellpoint.

[@justindasilva4040]

Hello farmer bob great videos and absolutely fabulous explanations 9 times out of 10 I have great success from your videos . Generally if something doesn’t work it’s self error … anyways my guy I’ve been having terrible luck trying to change the grocery store texture from one of the in game placeables to a different colour I’ve exported with no luck and seem to be pulling in the actual game files .. which I DO NOT want to modify for obvious reasons any help would be appreciated thanks and great work !

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

i will have a look on making a video on how to do it.. in fact i gave it a mention in my Ravenport conversion videos when i did that hayloft and custom workshop

[@fpvnico]

If i use a mod in my map, i need to remove the original mod from the mods folder because this can cause conflicts when playing the game you say. So people who have the sell everything mod installed from the modhub and want to play my map (with sell everything mod inside) need to uninstall their mod or they have conflicts?

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

If you build any mod properly into your map it should have no problems if the same mod is in the mods folder. Best way to test is build it into your map and test it with the mod in your mods folder. If its error free all is well. If you jave problems it is easy, remove th3 mod from your map and instead of building it in just place it in your map and make your map mod dependant. So it will install the mod if it is not present and your map wont be playable without it. 😊

[@fpvnico]

@@FarmerBoBonKZbin ah ok, thanx.

[@bfgedits2024]

So the mods I added to the map can load in the store and I can place them. But the placeables XML thinks the store item doesn't exist and they won't load in game where I position them, despite my file paths being correct. I've been struggling for a couple of hours trying to find out what I did wrong

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Normally the storeitems.xml gets that effect sometimes, not always, so move your lines in the storeitems.xml to a storeitems section in your maps modDesc.xml

[@julio4473]

Got a question, i made a decorative object for fs22. it shows up, and i can place it, in game but it won't sell or demolish, it's just stuck there. What is the cause of this?

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Your xml is not cinfigured correctly, "show in store" and "can be sold" needs to be in the store section

[@tomyylogistics]

Hi how can I add starter machines to a newly created map?

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Easy, open map in game, buy all the default vehicles and equipment you want, park them where you want them on the map. Save the game. Ooen the savegame and copy the vehicles.xml and override the one in your mapdir. Then open that one and add the defaultfarmproperty= true to all vehicles.

If i have a model ex. A stonewall. Can I make my own xml file for it so i can make it sellable? I only have i3d,shapes file and textures..

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Yes, take a similar placeabkes xml and just reconfigure it for your wall. You dont have to have the i3d mapping and all those other things in it like tip occlusion etc. Leave the start and end sections but remove the internal info for them.

[@ocnasuflorin7453]

hello i follow video step by step i try diferent mods and no one work in game i dont know how to add somme of them are animated like a gate or dors etc and not work

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Mods like gates and doors normally have animation, so you can only add them if you add the L10n parts as well. If a mod has been converted from fs19, it is best to not use those (if you see a animatedobjects.xml) then you know is converted fs22 does not use this anymore and normally these dont work.

[@ReithAcademy]

Hey Bob I tried to follow along but î can't seem to get it to work, is there like a step by step I could follow

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

All my videos are made to follow in a watch pause do basis. So you watch a few seconds, pause, then do on your side, and if you copy exactly what o do the results will be the same. However when you work with mods there are thousands of things that could be different. 1. First things is have you tested the mod properly before trying to add it to your map. Secondly, some mods use scripts, these need to be installed in your map as well same as in the mod. So best would be to send me a link of the specific mod you are trying to add to your map so i can see what needs be done.

Greetings, Mr. Bob! I'm watching your videos and learning how to make a map. But unfortunately I don't know much, if you have the time, and of course the desire, please help me with a visual example by recording a video. I want to import a cow farm from the Malinovka map and install it on my map, but I don't know how.

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

Hi Jon, no that will not work, malinovka if i recall is an fs17 map.. nothing can be used in fs22 from that version, however you will need to export the building only then convert it to fs22 textures and standards then use the cowbarn large from fs22 and build all working components over into the fs17 building. it is a massive complex job. if you do not have xp in that type of thing i will not suggest to attempt it. as far as the video is concerned, i will look into it. my internet has been down for the past few days, waiting for it to be fixed.

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

hi Jon sorry, i am mistaken i see the map has been converted. So is a simple export and import and some editing in the placeables and moddesc

hi brother can i sell them after and place new ones

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

yes you can, just make sure "can be sold" is yes in the xml

[@Curious_Skeptic]

This is unbelievably idiotic to go through this much work to drop an asset onto a map in the editor???? You modders are insane! All I can say is thank you for the endless work. The fact ANYONE even bothered going through the headaches to mod such a horrible game engine/editor is unreal! I can only hope Giants figures out that they are far behind the times, or better yet, someone comes up with a modern farming simulator and BLOWS FS out of the water once and for all! The FS community would gladly jump ship if another software company builds up a better game on an easier engine with a much more organized structure system that incorporates some freak'n common sense!

[@FarmerBoBonYoutube]

I have been saying this from the start, it is unfortunately the German way of thinking and design. It has to be the most complicated overengineered or it is not done at all.
