Geo Mods
Alright guys,
I have spent some time working on some custom Geo Mods for Seasons. I used the templates for modDesc, seasons_growth, seasons_weather and seasons_daylight. I also have my icon.dds file ready. I have been trying to get it to come up in the game as a selectable mod and it won’t. I have looked at other geos and compared file and folder attributes and everything seems in order. I created the XML files using notepad and have upgraded to notepad ++. Again everything seems to be in order. Any ideas? This is my first time creating a mod and am unsure what is going on. I have previously downloaded mods from sites other than Giants Modhub and have copied those actions as well. HELP PLEASE!

Re: Geo Mods
Have you checked the log.txt to see if there are any errors or warnings when the game is trying to load your mod (see the link 'log.txt' in my signature for instructions on where to find it)?

Re: Geo Mods
Don_Apple, Not sure what to check or why it would even be in the log yet. When I load the base game and start a new save game to test the mod it goes to the selection screen where you can select mods and my mod isn’t there. I have it saved in my mods folder in the same format as all of the other geos I have downloaded. I have had mods downloaded from other sites and needed to extract the files to the mods folder and have done that as well as simply placing the unzipped folder into the mods folder. I do have developer mode enabled but I don’t understand how an error would have registered already when I haven’t even gotten to load my mod or if it could how I would check it. I’ll look right now for that file, is it in the fs17 folder? I didn’t see a link in your message.
Re: Geo Mods
It is not showing in the "selection screen" for a reason. that reason may be listed in the log file.

Re: Geo Mods
Ok I found the link and checked. There is an error: Unsupported mod description version in mod. The code in the mod for version is modDesc version “1”, and <version>1.0.0.0</version>
Re: Geo Mods
I will try changing it to version 1.0.0.1 and see if that helps
Re: Geo Mods
I really appreciate the help you guys, but I’ve made some changes and still nothing. Still the same error.
Re: Geo Mods
Here is the log:
Here is a copy of the modDesc file:
Edit don_apple: converted log.txt into spoiler and XML into code for better readability of thread.

Re: Geo Mods
'Unsupported mod description version in mod' means that the version of your mod does not match the version of the game. Either you don't have the latest patch for the game installed or the descVersion attribute in the modDesc.xml is incorrect.
To e able to ues a mod with the latest version of the game the descVersion must be '39' as shown in the following example: viewtopic.php?f=895&t=123043&p=964801&h ... on#p964801

Re: Geo Mods
Ok I'll try that. Thanks so much for your help so far!
Re: Geo Mods
Ok Tried that and it shows up on my installed mods now. Off to test! Thanks again!!!!
Re: Geo Mods
One more tip: when testing a mod you are working on remove all other mods that aren't really needed for the mod to work from the mods folder to avoid that issues with the other mods can cause problems with the mods you're developing.
You currently seem to have quite a few mods installed that cause errors or warnings. I would recommend to at least get rid of those.

Re: Geo Mods
Hey guys it’s me again. So testing has been going pretty well so far. I have the growth nailed down, just need to run a final test to satisfy myself with that aspect. I have been working on the weather now and I have temperatures where I want them but am having a few issues: the average annual snowfall for the area is 1.35 m with a season of November through March, with occasional in October or April or even May. I’m willing to gloss over the April and May for the sake of gameplay. But am having issues with snow. Seasons isn’t capable of dealing with the snow like real life does. For example here we may average that much snow but come March we rarely have more than .25 m on the ground because it has melted, even on days when it is -4 or -6 C it will melt in the sun. Seasons doesn’t do this well and I consistently have the full amount still in March. Now I am willing to adjust the amount and that is where I am having issues. With very limited time for this project I need some help with the mu and sigma values for weather. I have been working on this Geo mod for 4 months and have been testing and revising for 2 months. Help please! I am looking to reduce snow to around .6-.8 m as it seems to deal with that amount we’ll in a few tests. Specifically I am looking for durations for mu values and variance amounts for sigma values. The stuff I’ve seen so far are just numbers to me with no reference point.
Re: Geo Mods
I would recommend to reach out directly to the creators of the Seasons mod to get assistance with this: https://www.realismusmodding.com
