Skid steers with rear weight

Post by Bradyb8795 »

I was wondering if anyone knows of any skid steers with rear weights or can help me add a rear hitch to any skid steer. If you can I appreciate it.

You need to use Giants Editor. Do you have GE installed? And you will need Notepad++.

This is a fairly simple mod.
Assuming you want to use a base game skid steer, open GE
then click File > New Mod from Game...
then click Create > Transform Group
in the Scenegraph cut&paste the TG into the main directory
in the Viewport move the TG to where you want the hitch

In the XML you need to add a <attacherJoints>
look at the xmls from tractors or the pickup truck in the game for guidance on that.
jointType needs to be the same as the weight

There are also hitches in the assets files in the game.
You can bind them in in the xml.

I’m sorry can you explain the jointType weight more I’m still a little confused on what that means. But the rest of your explanation is very helpful. Thank you.

Go to the weight xml and look at the <attachable> section and look for jointType
