Hey modder!

I saw the modding toutorials. Then I want to edit the terrain in my own modding map. When I finished, i want to play my new map but in the farming Simulator it doesnt load.
I dont know, what a can do so I ask you.

Please help me

Thanks!!

In general: if you test a new map, you should have nothing else in your mod folder to be sure, a possibly interfering mod can't disturb.

Second: always check the logs for errors, even warnings. And I mean BOTH logs: the one of GE and the other of the game engine.

Without further infos one can only guess. Typical rookie error: you forgot some important entries in the modDesc.xml, so the modmap isn't accepted at all.
Learning by video tutorials is a good idea. But read also in your FS install directory "sdk/moddingHandbook" fur further infos.

Thanks Bilbo Beutlin!!

But

Where can I find the warnings. I dont know what you mean with it!!

Second

When I only edit the Terrain, why I must edit the mod desk?

And sorry for my english...i come from Austria and I cant write English very good :-(

I did assume, you've exported your modmap by GE with "new mod from game" or "export all with files".
Then an incomplete "modDesc.xml" is generated or it is missing at all. In last case also other important files are missing. See the "sdk" folder for example mod map.

Errors and warnings are logged in "log.txt", which you can open and examine with a text editor.
The game log is in: "C:\Users\..\Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2017\log.txt"
The editor log is in: "C:\Users\..\AppData\Local\GIANTS Editor 64bit 7.0.5\editor_log.txt"

With FS17 your sample mod map is in the form of two templates, map01 &map02 which are templates for cloning Goldcrest & Sosnovka, respectively. What you do is place which ever one your using into the empty directory you create with the name of your map. When you "Export with all Files" you put them inside the maps, maps folder within this template. You can leave the modDesc.xml alone for now and it will show up as "sampleModMap" in your career menu when loaded into game by default.

All you need to do is leave this folder (you maps folder) unzipped, in you mods directory, and it will work fine. You only need to zip in if your going to distribute it, and use it for multi-play, other than that leave it unzipped. Remember, you CANNOT HAVE BOTH THE ZIPPED AND UNZIPPED VERSION in your mods directory at the same time!

Now if you did everything I said above, it will work, and if it doesn't start looking for where you went wrong.

@Bilbo Beutlin ... yeah, your right about the video tutorials, way to many rely solely on them, and nothing beats a good old written out tutorial with pictures, lines, and arrows. I'll be doing some soon, and always looking for help.

Hey Bilbo!

I didn´t mod the original map from fs17. I took a modmap form ModHoster. The Map, which I load down works perfect. But when I edit the terrain it doesn´t work. I can start the map but it doesn´t load.

So I think the moddesk is OK

Tobias, load your map again and when it don't load, go to, Documents\My Games\FarmingSimulator2017 till you see the mod folder at the top, stop there and look down the list of folders till you see the one that says log, double click the log folder, that will open it with note pad, scroll down till you see the error messages then copy and paste them here, so we can see whats going on in your mod.

Tony Price...i don´t know what you mean :-(

Oh I found it

Andreas Gruber:

Zuerst mal ist das wichtigste das du NICHT die Originalmap von fs17 veränderst da du sonst nicht mehr multiplayer spielen kannt!
Du musst deshalb eine Kopie in den Modordner machen. Dann öffnest du den Giants Editor...links oben steht file. Da drückst du drauf, dann auf open und dann musst du die Datei auswählen die du möchtest.
Und es dauert je nach der Leistung deines Pc/Laptop wielange es zum Laden dauert.

NICHT DIE ORIGINAL-MAP VERÄNDERN!!!!!!!!!!
