Help editing map

Post by K Money »

Hi noob question here, on 17 I used to edit up maps I played remove a few things adjust a few things and so on to suit my play style and simulate ‘development’ on my farm.
Playing on 19 and I can’t figure what I’m missing,

Edit map in GE, remove items move things etc. Load game up but all the current starting gates/doors etc are gone.

Can anyone point me to where I’m going wrong, thanks

hello, everything or almost with fs 19 you do not change the maps as in 17 all the placeables material must be inserted correctly and managed through the various xml files that each object must have by placing them in placeholder and then in the files store of the map moddesc and in the defaultitems file with all the lines of commands and positions and the type of the item or mapbound

Depending on how the structure of the map is, you need to be more careful in deleting things in GE.
Each element has its own node (address) in the tree structure. Deleting something might shift (renumber) following nodes and therefore cause problems with those elements not having their address expected by the xml files anymore.
