Excellent addition - my only suggestion would be whether we could make the HUD smaller/larger, and move it around to a different place on the screen?

The other issue I'm finding is that the numbers/letters/symbols are not inside the black box currently (I will fetch a screenshot if necessary) - I believe this could be down to the HUD scaling settings, though I need to check that!

Again, fantastic mod.

Hello,

Yes hud could be improved, I wanted something simple at first.
Please share screenshot so I can see why you have text outside the hud.
Thx

Apologies for the slow reply...

The text appears in the blue area marked - I do run 70% HUD scale, and I need to check whether this is teh cause.

Thanks Derplodactyl. I think the scale is the issue. I'm currently changing some code to fix it.

My pleasure, thank you for the excellent addition to the game!

Hi
At first very nice Mod but i noticed something.
When you attach a Frontshield to a harvester the Log gets spammed full with 2 Errors:
Thank you for the nice Mod and i hope you can fix it

A little suggestion from me:

Code: Select all

if basePerf <= 0 then
    -- Then motorConfiguration hp
        local coef = 1.5
        local keyCategory = "vehicle.storeData.category"
        if getXMLString(self.xmlFile, keyCategory) == "forageHarvesters" then
            coef = 6.
		elseif getXMLString(self.xmlFile, keyCategory) == "beetVehicles" then
            coef = 0.4
		elseif getXMLString(self.xmlFile, keyCategory) == "potatoVehicles" then
            coef = 0.3
        end
        local key, motorId = ConfigurationUtil.getXMLConfigurationKey(self.xmlFile, self.configurations.motor, "vehicle.motorized.motorConfigurations.motorConfiguration", "vehicle.motorized", "motor")
        local fallbackConfigKey = "vehicle.motorized.motorConfigurations.motorConfiguration(0)"
        local fallbackOldKey = "vehicle"
        local power = ConfigurationUtil.getConfigurationValue(self.xmlFile, key, "", "#hp", getXMLString, nil, fallbackConfigKey, fallbackOldKey)
        if power ~= nil and tonumber(power) > 0 then
            --print("key "..key)
            --print("motorId "..motorId)
            --print("power "..power)
            basePerf = tonumber(power) * coef
            print("Combine basePerf computed from motorConfiguration hp: "..tostring(power).." => "..tostring(basePerf))
        else
    -- Then specs power
            key = "vehicle.storeData.specs.power"
            local specsPower = getXMLString(self.xmlFile, key)
            if specsPower ~= nil and tonumber(specsPower) > 0 then
                basePerf = tonumber(specsPower) * coef
                print("Combine basePerf computed from specs power declared in store: "..tostring(specsPower).." => "..tostring(basePerf))
            end
        end
    end

Thx, very helpful. I prepared already similar value for beer harvester but have not tested yet potatoes. I'll add this for next update.
FYI, code is on GitHub and open to suggestions (via issues) or PR

Hey Yumi.

Unsure how you would feel about this, but it came to me as I'm testing a map. As a suggestion, it would be a nice touch to see some MaizePlus compatibility - Triticale, Millet, Spelt, and Fieldgrass for combines.

Maybe you should provide the link to the GitHub repo here, or mention your GitHub account in your signature. Because when searching for the code on Github it is not easy to find.

You're right, I added my github repo link in my signature

Hello,
Yes I can add materialQty coefficient for these crops in the xml config file. Only thing is to estimate how fast the crop can be harvested compared to wheat fully fertilized that is reference crop = 1

Hello,
v1.0.0.2 has been published today to ModHub with fixes for
- HUD text scaling issue
- HUD error when playing on Dedicated Server
- Better management of sugarbeet and potatoes harvesters
I think I will now be able to work on new features for future releases.

I think it would be nice if trailed harvesters used the power of the tractor

Hello,

I'm planning to add a new constraint for harvesting with Combine Xperience based on 2 possible criteria.
If Seasons mod is loaded, speed could be reduced by crop moisture. From the test I made, it's generally given between ~10% to 20%. Above 20% you cannot harvest anymore with a warning msg from Seasons mod. Moisture is low during the day when sun dries the fields and will increase during the night or after rain.
Idea would be to get this % of speed depending on moisture. For ex in following chart you would reach 50% of max speed (already computed for the given crop with the given harvester & cutter) when moisture is at 19%.

I consider that until 15% you are in good conditions so 100% speed and above it start decreasing.
What do you think ?

Second criteria, if seasons is not loaded, could be based directly on hour of the day.
In the following chart, for cereal, you would get 90% of speed from 12am and 100% until 8pm. It will then really decrease from 2am.
I think for corn it should be different since moisture numbers are different and from what I know you can harvest earlier in the day.
What do you think ?

For corn, the moisture doesn't really go up very much, so once it is dry, it stays dry for the most part. I think the crop moisture part would be pretty cool, in 2019 the 30% moisture corn slowed down the combine a little bit lol

Different crops also have different ideal moisture levels, like corn at 15% and beans at 13%, but I don't know if that is really necessary for the game
