| I want to modify a loader wagon so it can pickup additional fillTypes, eg. manure from manure heap, silage from bunker silo, woodChips from the farm silo/heap. Seems also quite logical, that a loader wagon can pickup these. Must I really script it explicitely or is there a simple method? I examined the "loaderWagon.lua" and found it can pickup only windrow types. However there is a "backward compatibility" part, which allows <fillTypes .. convertToWindrowFillType=".." /> So I first tried by adding to wagon.xml <fillTypes fruitTypes="... woodChips silage manure" convertToWindrowFillType="woodChips silage manure" /> - but doesn't work. Probably because the pickup is designed to collect from ground, not from storage. Is there anything in the map.i3d to change/add so the wagon can pickup from the certain places? Or any other solution without scripting a special wagon.lua? |

| Hi, you are right, the forage wagonn is not designed for picking up from a silo/storage. Well, you could try to add the Shovel specialization - but without any guarantee that it will work or that it won't have any side effects. A shovel is able to pickup stuff from a heap, so as soon as the silo/storage has a trigger for shovels it could work. Note: In general a shovel can only pickup up stuff it is moved forwards. But you can remove this 'limitation' (rather feature ;) ) by setting <shovel ignoreVehicleDirectionOnLoad="true"/>. Nonetheless I wonder why you would like to do that? I have never seen a wagon which could load manure directly and I can't imagine a wagon to be able to do that. If you don't want to load your wagons by using a shovel you could have a look for conveyors which do transport the fill types (there have been mods in FS13, don't know about fs15 though) Cheers, Emil |

| Well, seemed quite nearby for me, because by material manure and silage are very similiar to straw/windrow. I think, also in reality a loader wagon could pickup these. Another point is simplification compared to loading with shovel. ;) And also with conveyors one has always two vehicles and must toggle between. I'll try it with the shovel spec., perhaps I get it to work. |

| Done - was easier than expected: I took the Kuhn forage mixer as example, added in i3d a shovel col to the pickup, added in xml a similiar shovel tag, added in modDesc shovel spec. It works like a charme. :) The only difference: the Kuhn loads if switched on only, my mod loads as soon as it has contact, though both have the 'turnOnVehicle' spec. Not really a problem, more detail cosmetic, but perhaps you have an idea how to make it switchable together with the loader wagon turn on/off? |

| Hi, to stop the Shovel specialization from filling the wagon you would have to write a custom script. Cheers, Emil |
