Seasons on Ravenport.
I can not believe seasons were not included with base game. I tried new game yesterday on Ravenport . 3 days seasons, start from scratch mode. Man, Ravenport looks so good with new weather effects.
I bought field 1 with planted grass, put trailer house next to it, just across whale skeleton.Then built red barn ( with WORKING doors, Giants, lol). Then made some gravel area around it. And worked on sillage bales.
Clouds , rain , nights it is like different game. Finally I will start serious play out on that map. Did not like it before.I hope that red barn mod will work with snow mask.
Thanks for great mod, guys.

Re: Seasons on Ravenport.
Yes, Giants must be happy. Their game is finally complete. All they had to do is wait patiently for other people unrelated to the company, and working for free.

Re: Question about selling in Seasons.
Hmm, that's me pretty much stumped. Got any mods running other that seasons?

Re: Seasons on Ravenport.
You do realise that one of them actually works for Giants.

Re: Seasons on Ravenport.
Interesting , game engine supports all those weather effects. But they never end up in vanilla game. It is like Giants spoon feeding new futures to us every 2 years just to keep ball rolling. When I played FS19 first time I was not impressed with lighting and weather. But, man, same map looks way different with seasons. Also soil moisture already in game engine but never end up as game future.
I am not trying to start console and pc war, but it is like games futures were watered down on pc end and seasons are opened real futures of game engine update.

Re: season-contract equipment has zero durability
Equipment selection = not seasons
The wear, there was a method to the madness, but what’s described here sounds like we went too far and broke something. Literally and figuratively

GIANTS - Oakfield seasons update
Any clue as to how long it will be released?
the big print giveth the small print taketh
Re: GIANTS - Oakfield seasons update
Since we are on the topic - I'm wondering the same thing about the GlobalCompany scripts.
Giants could make this the best week / month in the history of the Farming Simulator series with its release as well as Seasons already out. Come on.

Yes I know, that was the whole point of my comment.
Re: Seasons - Testing snow ingame?
I am having the same issue. Followed the tutorial video on YouTube perfectly step by step. I am able to paint the mask anywhere I want, there are no errors listed in the editor console, but in game, the snow falls everywhere. The map I am using, originally had tipcol in various spots, which seems to stop snow, however not in non GE buildings. Is pre-existing tipcol messing up when you try to paint the seasonsmask?OlavEmil wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 8:23 pm The 2048x2048 definitely makes placing the snowmask alot more forgiving.
I still can't seem to make this work. I have scrapped all my previous work and started from a blank download of the map. Reading through the full Seasons Mask manual again, before completing each step to the letter (except adding appropriate file paths where required). I am perfectly able to find the seasons info layer in the editor, and place it where I don't want snow to fall. Still, when I save it and rezip all the files into the original mod zip file (overwriting all files), snow still falls everywhere. At this point, I only have the map file and seasons in my mod folder, starting a new game (with no other saves existing in the game).
At this point, I can only think of two things I don't feel sure about.
First, I have limited experience with the editor, and I may have forgotten something since last time I used it. Is there anything more than simply saving the file in the editor and rezipping that needs to be done for edits to actually show up in game?
Second, I notice that under Maps in the manual (the page before the Seasons Mask page), it says "To activate custom Seasons files for your map, add a folder named seasons next to your map XML file. Put all Seasons related XML files in that folder. The mod will automatically find those files." Does this apply in any way for adding snowmask to a map? I can't think of any custom Seasons related XML files I would put in such a folder.

Re: Seasons on Ravenport.
looking behind the scenes u get an idea.. compare fs17 base game and fs19 base game... do u know how much of this game seems to have been built around seasons.. it would seem to me that Giants provided some of the most vital tools in the creation of seasons 19 through game mechanics that do little to nothing in the base game.. it could be argued that seasons19 wouldn't even exist in its current complex and beautiful state without the collaboration of Giants and RM.. its funny how everyone assumes giants gives a **** about seasons in their game when it seems unlikely.. the current game model provides more flexibility for mods like seasons and many others from what I can see and giants still continues to help provide the tools to advance and create them.. but sure.. everyone calls the game incomplete because its not exactly what they expected.. seems legit

Re: Seasons, soil temperature, and germination
I like what I'm hearing AKlein. More eager for Seasons to make it to console after this info. Thanks
