Field sizes

Post by Farmer-Giles »

When I'm painting fields onto my map how do I know how large iv made the fields.
When I go into first person mode the fields look massive but when painting them iv got about 14 to 16 fields on map with some room for selling points and productions..
I'm using the Elm Creek map as my blank map.

In Giants Editor select the fields transform
then Scripts --Map -- Get Field Sizes
The size of each numbered field (in ha) will be printed in the console log e.g.

Field 1 (field01) : 0.527 ha
Field 2 (field02) : 0.352 ha
Field 3 (field03) : 0.293 ha
Field 4 (field04) : 0.281 ha
Field 5 (field05) : 0.285 ha
Field 6 (field06) : 0.482 ha
Field 7 (field07) : 0.909 ha
Field 8 (field08) : 1.821 ha
Field 9 (field09) : 1.848 ha
Field 10 (field10) : 5.660 ha
etc
(Taken from the Elm Creek map)
Yours will obviously be different sizes

On the subject of Creating fields and the Farmlands.xml,
Couple of scripts available (together with a tutorial) here that makes it a lot easier and quicker
