Well i have the same issue And am wondering how to fix

Emil Drefers (Unknown) 25.10.2016 08:20
Hi,

please never ever try to edit the map in the base game directory!
This is really very important!

Instead you should export that map to your mods directory.
You can take a look at the video tutorials to get some help.

Cheers,
Emil

Hey Emil. I think he wants to open the map in the basegame to export it. But with the GE 7.0.0 we all get this error messages and can't start workung on modmaps :/

Hi Emil - thanks for the advise :)

No, I wasn't trying to edit the maps. I just wanted to take a look at them in GE. It was the errors I wanted to make you aware of.

Cheers

Hi Emil,

Exported all the map01 into the mods/mapcsi/map
Still got 2 errors :


Error: Can't load resource 'C:/Users/n0tr3adY/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2017/mods/mapcsi/maps/textures/terrain/grass_diffuse.png'.
Error: Can't load resource 'C:/Users/n0tr3adY/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2017/mods/mapcsi/maps/textures/terrain/moss_diffuse.png'.

Those files exists at their location.

Solution?

Stegei (from Giants) wrote this in the official forum:

"Wir arbeiten im Moment an der Finalisierung einer neuen Version des GE welcher mit I3ds im veröffentlichten Spiel funktioniert."

Running it through Google Translate:

"We are currently working on the finalization of a new version of the GE which works with I3ds in the published game."

Cheers :)

Thanks ;)


Bengt Sæther (Nordvarg) 25.10.2016 19:41
Thanks, guys :) Seems that GE 7.0.2. did the trick. Works fine! (I found it under 'Downloads').

Cheers...
