Silverrun files locked - no way to edit the map

Post by Dim67 »

So unlike the 3 base game maps and all the files that go with it like sound, graphics, xml's etc. , the SilverRun map is located inside a DLC pack file. Is there a way to unpack that, or will the map be made available at a later date?

such is the way of DLC, otherwise people could just put the content on third-party sites so people could avoid paying for DLC.

Erlengrat was first released in the FS19 Platinum and is a base-game map in FS22. So it could happen in the next release. Doubt it would happen before that.

It is also illegal to crack the dlc.

If you need to get PDA/Overviews from encrypted DLC's there is still the possibility to get them from a dedicated server.
Just log in, click on settings in the upper right corner and click on the "Link Map Image" link.
Then the PDA opens in a new tab, where you can even enter a desired resolution in the address bar! 🙂

So what is the point of game improvements that were introduced in Platinum DLC???? There is no way modders can use those to create new stuff?? Wasn't that the point? To let modders use the new features?

Just another missed oportunity...like almost everything with FS.

Honestly, I would love to see that. If a new farm bulding is needed you need to deliver some goods and it is built over a certain period instead of "boom" and it is there - or the option of whether it is completely built by someone or I have to contribute something.

DLCs are aimed at players. If Giants wants to allow mod authors to use new features, then they will release an SDK. They most recently did that with the free AGI pack. It was released as an encrypted DLC, and the SDK exposes the seed treatment feature to mod authors.

Dlc`s are typically locked for modding for a certain time. Lets call it a game creators patent to protect its investment.. Giants want to sell platinum dlc`s, If modders could get it straqight away, giants wouldent make any money. After a while, maybe in the next game or so, all dlc features will be "open" for modding AFAIK
