Map - Reverse Engineering ? ? ?

Post by HC1Gunner »

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the hard work modders do, to bring us equipment and maps, I've shelled out a lot of money over the course of FS17 and 19 to creators pay pal accounts.
I started a new map (USA Legend), tried to contact the author, but no replies. He made this map not following Giant's default Career Starts, all three modes are the same, it would have been nice if he would have left at least one of the start mode with a clear/clean Career Start Farm. He's placed Cow, Chicken, Pig, and Sheep husbandry's (pens and buildings) at the career start point that can't be removed (sold) in-game, and they are not visible in GE. I dislike it when you can't design (layout) your own farm with the start choice of Farm Manager, or Start from scratch. I not sure if objects not being GE is part of his optimization, or to make the file download smaller, but it would have been nice he he would given the option to sell each husbandry.

Author has a folder "Placeables", and inside lies (12) folders, one of them named "animals". I removed the folder, and I figured the map might not even launch, and if it did, there would be errors that I could probably live with. Map launches without a hitch, and all the placeable pens, barns, etc. were gone, mission accomplished, Not. Upon saving, it sticks in a save loop, and game has b to be closed via desktop, and 3/4 of the save game files get nuked. I ended up with the below errors, and was hoping someone could point me to the proper xml to edit, and or delete to solve my non-save issue.
