Edit Map - Change Field Type ? ? ?

Post by HC1Gunner »

I wanted to edit the map I just started, I would like to change one of its grain fields, to grass, so I can create some baling missions. I have watched a few videos, but they are all on creating a new filed on unused land, and that process doesn't seem to work for trying to change the crop type (fruit) of an already existing field. Does anyone know of any tutorials or videos that might explain what I need to do.
Please, no I don't want to buy it and plant it to grass, as I want to create baling missions for the field.

The only way I know is:
1. In GE find the fields TG and expand it to see all the different fields.
2. Pick the field you want to change and add a new attribute to it. You might have to switch on "user attributes" window
3. add new attribute called fieldGrassMission (case sensitive) type boolean and activate it afterwards

This should make the ai to only plant grass on this field and therefore only grass missions will be available.
You will most likely need to start a new savegame to see the changes or have to wait after first harvest so that the AI will reset the field.

For reference you could check the Erlengrat map. There are a couple of those fields.

Is it possible to do this with the Easy Dev Controls in game? Not sure if the AI will revert it to something else though.

Na, easy dev won't work, it just gets changed back. I even tried buying the land planting to grass, then selling it, map file just changes it back. I had hoped there would be an easier way in GE, I have some knowledge of GE (intermediate), but Eische's option might be beyond me. I watched tutorial videos on creating new fields with areas of unused land, and that seem fairly easy, but changing a field to another crop type apparently is more involved.
