Giants Editor Issue (Deer CreeK)

[Bushmaster77]

Good evening. So, I am not a computer guru nor a master modder by any means but from research and through the help of other modders got fairly proficient at being able to modify primarily just maps and some equipment to my liking...IN FS19. Currently I am trying to modify a FS22 map, more specifically Deer Creek. After unzipping the map and then selecting the I3D file to send it to Giants Editor 9.0.4 I get this laundry list of errors and the map populates in a very degraded form. I have done research on why that happens and how to fix it, but I have been unsuccessful as of late. Does anyone know the fix and can please assist in helping me out? I hope it is something fairly simple as modding it through the actual game is not a preferred means. Thanks.

The following is an excerpt from the errors.

Looks like the FS22 version of that map is not fully converted as it references FS19 textures.
You can try to fix it on your own by either installing FS19 in that specific folder or adjust all the mentioned paths to the respective FS22 files.
But I don't think taht all FS19 textures are still there in FS22.

Where did you download that map? Original link seems to be this one:

Interesting you caught that it said FS19 because I caught that to and was like shouldn't it be FS22? Anyway, I found a You Tube video describing Game Installation Path. The path was FS19, hence the FS19 in the copied excerpt from the Editor log. I verified the game path and then changed the path to read to FS22. Once I changed the path the map now loads in Editor. Funny how a simple fix can resolve a headache I've been trying to resolve for a while.

I downloaded it from the Central Ohio Modding page. I always try to download mods from the original source so the modders get the credit AND because I am not a fan of 3rd party download sites.

Thanks for the reply and assistance. I greatly appreciate it!

Good to see you got it working.

Yeah, I also use original source downloads only.
