If you are using either Goldcrest Valley or Sosnovka...there is a folder where your Steam installs your games called "profileTemplate/careerVehicles_map#" (where 01 = Goldcrest, 02=Sosnovka). You can edit that XML to remove the extra tractors and stuff you do not want in between the "<careerVehicles> </careerVehicles>" tag. For example, in Goldcrest I only want the New Holland tractor and not the Case 1455. I open the XML "careerVehicles_map01.xml" (using notepad) and remove the lines...
Code: Select all
<vehicle filename="data/vehicles/steerable/caseIH/caseIH1455.xml" propertyState="1" xPosition="41" yOffset="0.5" zPosition="-150" yRotation="90" dirtAmount="0.5" age="67" operatingTime="127000" tourId="tourTractor2"/>
<vehicle filename="data/vehicles/steerable/caseIH/caseIH1455.xml" propertyState="1" xPosition="180" yOffset="0.5" zPosition="-30.5" yRotation="-90" dirtAmount="0.5" age="53" operatingTime="101000" tourId="tourTractor3"/>
If you are using a mod map, there is a file called "defaultVehicles.xml" with the map that you would edit. Again, you can remove unwanted vehicles in between the "<careerVehicles> </careerVehicles> tag.
Non-steam version on PC would be the same, just find where the game is installed to find the "profileTemplate" folder and the XML I reference.
**NOTE** always backup either the "defaultVehicles.xml" from mod maps or "careerVehicles_map#.xml" from the profile template I reference before you mess with them. This way if you make a mistake, you have the original to start again or copy back to their respective location.

On the subject of editing files, is there a way to run up the hours on equipment if you want to keep your same equipment but move it to a different map?

...and voila I only have the New Holland tractor with the Case harvester, etc. No Case tractorsCode: Select all
<vehicle filename="data/vehicles/steerable/caseIH/caseIH1455.xml" propertyState="1" xPosition="41" yOffset="0.5" zPosition="-150" yRotation="90" dirtAmount="0.5" age="67" operatingTime="127000" tourId="tourTractor2"/> <vehicle filename="data/vehicles/steerable/caseIH/caseIH1455.xml" propertyState="1" xPosition="180" yOffset="0.5" zPosition="-30.5" yRotation="-90" dirtAmount="0.5" age="53" operatingTime="101000" tourId="tourTractor3"/>

Can I use this method to choose the number of fields I will start too?

Re: How do I start a game with only 1 tractor?
You can yes. Locate the file "economy.xml" located where your savegame slot is. In that file you will see the following (I am using Goldcrest as example and only showing 5 out of 31 fields to keep post short)..SilverlFang wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 11:35 pm

Code: Select all
<fieldOwnership>
<field number="1" ownedByPlayer="false" npcIndex="15" />
<field number="2" ownedByPlayer="false" npcIndex="2" />
<field number="3" ownedByPlayer="false" npcIndex="6" />
<field number="4" ownedByPlayer="false" npcIndex="6" />
<field number="5" ownedByPlayer="false" npcIndex="14" />
...etc
</fieldOwnership>
If you are starting a new game with one tractor, then start game, save it, exit and then edit the "economy.xml" file after.
**NOTE** If using the Bank of Hagenstedt mod, be aware if you edit the fields owned in "economy.xml", you will also need to change the fields listed in the file "bankofhagenstedt.xml". For example, here are the same 5 fields in the BoH XML file..
Code: Select all
<fields count="31">
<field/>
<field fieldNumber="1" fieldPrice="417150.000000" ownedByPlayer="false" fieldLeasePrice="31286.250000" leasedByPlayer="false" remainingLeaseDays="0.000000"/>
<field fieldNumber="2" fieldPrice="98010.000000" ownedByPlayer="false" fieldLeasePrice="7350.750000" leasedByPlayer="false" remainingLeaseDays="0.000000"/>
<field fieldNumber="3" fieldPrice="187110.000000" ownedByPlayer="false" fieldLeasePrice="14033.250000" leasedByPlayer="false" remainingLeaseDays="0.000000"/>
<field fieldNumber="4" fieldPrice="225180.000000" ownedByPlayer="false" fieldLeasePrice="16888.500000" leasedByPlayer="false" remainingLeaseDays="0.000000"/>
<field fieldNumber="5" fieldPrice="967950.000000" ownedByPlayer="false" fieldLeasePrice="72596.250000" leasedByPlayer="false" remainingLeaseDays="0.000000"/>
...etc
</fields>
