Giants Editor Help.

[Stryk3r]

I am trying to add a forage building to my map, but the editor is only showing fs 2013 .i3d files. So I am not even able to load the map I want to work on. Am I using the wrong version or is there another reason?

[Stryk3r]

Just to add that I'm using version 6.0.3 - 64 bit

The Giants Editor will only load i3d's. The i3d is (surprise!) Giants format. The editor will load 2011/2013/15/Ski Region Sim files.

You can edit posts with the pecil that appears when you hover in the upper right of your post.

I know that, But the i3d file from the map I am trying to edit is not loading and wasnt showing up at first too before I moved it to a diffrent folder

Had you already updated the shaders and hand edited the files section of the i3d to reflect the new shaders? For example vehicleShaderDirt instead of dirtShader?

That is the most common cause of "objects not showing up".

I wish I could get to that part because the map's i3d file isn't loading at all. The editor shows loading at the bottom and then just crashes.

Is this a 2015 mod map? or a 2013 one? What does it say in the scripting window upon crashing?

[Stryk3r]

2015 and Giants Editor does not stay open windows has to shut it down and close it.

Interesting. Often times while converting older files the editor will crash and throw the error to the scripting window. Token badly formed and the like can be fixed by going to the line specified in the error and correcting the formating.

Will that i3d load in FS2015?

[Stryk3r]

yes its a mod map for 15 and I wanted to add a forage storage on it since it does not have one.

[Hi-Torque]

Yes, but will it load in the game? Any errors or warnings in the log?

[Stryk3r]

yes the original that I downloaded does load in game, and no errors that I see
