Re: Weight File Scaling

It may be some 8bit, but possibly not in the correct grayscale format. Paint.NET is not my choice when it comes to non-RGB exports. GIMP is recommended for this purpose. Thanks Lara! I redid it using GIMP and it's working now. My last remaining error I am hunting down is: "Trying to set Densit...

Weight File Scaling

I am scaling a standard size map blank I created up to 4x. I resized the weight files, gdms, grles, and masks to 4096. I left the DEM standard size and increased units per pixel to 2. None of the weight files are loading and I'm getting an error they must be 8-bit single channel. They are still 8-bi...

Re: Map Boundary Issue

I figured it out. If you go to the Rigid Body tab for the plane, there is a drop down menu that needs to be set to Static Object. I don't believe this was on the old Editor.

Map Boundary Issue

I created the map boundaries for a FS25 blank map using "Planes" in the editor along each edge. I set each plane to Rigid Body and Non-Renderable. They work perfectly for stopping vehicles, but you can walk or jump right through them. They aren't generating any errors. This is the same pro...

GE 10 10.0.2 is working much better. Thanks Giants!

Will you eventually be able to import a map directly from the game? Right now you have to do it manually.

Re: GIANTS Modding Tools for FS25 available

Same issues as everyone else. It actually appears there are store items there, you just can't see them on the selection screen. If you click random places on the white screen you will select different vehicles.

Re: Custom DEM Height Map Problem

Ok, I got it workable. I figured out how to change the bit depth on GIMP to 16-bit grayscale. That made a big difference. I generated several different PNGs with different elevation ranges and the results were not good. The original with the actual range is best, so I'm just going to smooth the whol...

Custom DEM Height Map Problem

I created a custom DEM for my 16x map using real survey data. I used this method: https://medium.com/farmsim-forensics/farmsim-forensics-real-world-terrains-a-k-a-dems-934c267a60e5 The resulting PNG looks great, but not so much when I open the map in the editor. The first time around the map looked ...

Map Scaling

Can someone please point me to a in depth tutorial on correctly changing the size of a map blank. I found an excellent video from Baurer Brown that explained UPP and scaling the map DEM and weight files. It did not mention the GDM or GRLE files though, or if anything else needs to be changed (like i...
