Crawlers on tractors that dont have them

Post by Dakota5488 »

I'm completely new to modding, so to get my feet wet I decided to do some simple modifications to base game tractors. I already managed to add new tyres to the 4755 (although admittedly a toddler could do that), now that im satisfied with that i was curious to see if i could add tracks to the 4755, but every time i try they dont show up in the wheel options. I tried copying the EU track config from the 8RX already but ignoring obvious issues with alignment and other things that need fixing, they dont even show up at all, could someone here point me in the right direction?

Are there any errors or warnings in the log?

Look at the New Holland T8 GENESIS Series. It has wheels and tracks.

i copied the i3dmapping entries regarding the crawler and the crawler config, but still nothing, the front tyres show up as they should but the rears just disappear, I dont really have much of an idea of where to go after this as there appear to be no tutorials at all on adding tracks to a tractor

Clearly I'm missing an important detail but i have no idea what, I dont know if i should be importing this model into blender and adding crawler track nodes or what\

i've attached the XML file below, hopefully someone else can take a look at it and see what im doing wrong

Blender is not necessary.

So, no errors or warnings in the log. That's interesting.

I've found errors in the log, however unsure what to do with them. I haven't altered the XML since uploading it.

Always check the log first. Solving the errors and warnings is the first thing to fix a broken mod.

I cant find any information on what I'm supposed to do, I've been looking for days and days and I can't find it. I've given you the XML for that reason. I looked and watched the FS modding tutorials but even those arent helpful as they go into the development of a cultivator, not a tractor.

sorry, wasnt trying to be rude, should've clarified that i didnt understand you. either way i managed to add the T8's crawler nodes to the i3d of the 4755, they still dont show up in game but at least its progress, i think the rest of the process now is editing the 4755's XML file to load the crawlers properly.

GOOD NEWS

I managed to get the tracks to load in the game, however only the right track appears to spawn and its not in the correct location (probably know how to fix that), and when i try to purchase the tractor in the store, it never processes the purchase, so if anyone could tell me what thats about, thank you.
