Help! Missing baleNode for bale type while converting baler mod

[VirtualRedneck]

Hoping to get some help here, currently converting a baler mod but ran into a issue that quite frankly idk how to resolve. Info below

Mod XML:

Code: Select all

<baler maxPickupLitersPerSecond="350">
        <sounds>
            <eject template="BALER_EJECT" />
            <door template="ROLLBELT_DOOR" />
        </sounds>

        <baleTypes>
             <baleType isRoundBale="true" width="1.2" diameter="1.25">
                <nodes baleNode="0>5|0|0|0" scaleNode="0>5|0|0" scaleComponents="1 1 0"/>
                <animations fillAnimation="fillAnimation125" unloadAnimation="unload125" unloadAnimationSpeed="0.35" />
            </baleType>
        </baleTypes>

        <baleAnimation node="0>4|0|0" scaleNode="0>4|0" baleNode="0>4|0|0" unloadAnimationName="unloadBale" closeAnimationName="closeDoor" baleDropAnimTime="2.9" />

        <fillEffect>
            <effectNode effectClass="ParticleEffect" effectNode="0>5|1" particleType="PICKUP" emitCountScale="6" worldSpace="false" />
            <effectNode effectClass="ParticleEffect" effectNode="0>5|0" particleType="PICKUP" emitCountScale="6" worldSpace="false" />
        </fillEffect>
        
        <animationNodes>
            <animationNode node="0>3|3" rotSpeed="-1000" rotAxis="1" turnOnFadeTime="2" turnOffFadeTime="3" />
        </animationNodes>
    </baler>

Now here is the Log:

Code: Select all

What needs to be changed or fixed?

Edit don_apple: converted XML and log.txt snippet into "code" for better readability.

Open the baler i3d file in GE and search for the node mentioned in the log file (0>5|0|0|0)
This node does not seem to exist. Maybe you created one but the numbering changed and does not match anymore.

I actually just copied and pasted a node from a different mod into the xml, as I know nothing about nodes or how to create one

Then you should watch some tutorial videos for basic steps in GE.

Next would be to use existing balers for reference and adopt it to your mod. That is the typical way to do something like this.
