Disclaimer

The main goal of this project is to generate map templates, based on real-world data for the Farming Simulator. It's important to mention that templates are not maps. As a template you'll receive an empty map, where the terrain is shaped according to real-world data and textures are showing different types of terrain and objects (e.g. roads, fields, forests, buildings) with correct shapes and scales. So it's like a blueprint for a map. You don't need to bother with terrain shaping and object placement, you can start creating your map right away. If you thought that you could just run this tool and get a playable map, then I'm sorry to disappoint you. But if you are a map maker, then this tool will save you a lot of time.

Overview

So, if you're new to map making, here's a quick overview of the process:

1. Generate a map template using this tool.
   
2. Download the Giants Editor from the official Giants Developer Network[gdn.giants-software.com].
   
3. Open the map template in the Giants Editor.
   
4. Now you can start creating your map (adding roads, fields, buildings, etc.).
   
5. Optional (for background terrain): download the high-res textures using provided commands.
   
6. Optional (for background terrain): convert *.obj files in Blender and texture them.
   
7. Optional (for background terrain): imported converted files into the map.

How-to-Run

You'll find detailed instructions on how to run the project below. But if you prefer video tutorials, here's one for you.

Option 1: Use the web application

🗺️ Supported map sizes: 2x2, 4x4 km.
In this case you don't need to install anything, just open the link and in a coiple of clicks your map template will be ready.

1. Open the MAPS4FS StreamLit[maps4fs.streamlit.app] web application.
   
2. Fill in the required fields and click on the Generate button.
   
3. When the map is generated click on the Download button to get the map.

Option 2: Use the Docker container

🗺️ Supported map sizes: 2x2, 4x4, 8x8, 16x16 and any custom size.
This approach is for advanced users who want big maps, faster generation and don't mind to copy-paste one commands in the terminal.

1. Install Docker[docs.docker.com] for your OS.
   
2. Run the following command in your terminal:

   docker run -d -p 8501:8501 iwatkot/maps4fs

3. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:8501.
   
4. Fill in the required fields and click on the Generate button.
   
5. When the map is generated click on the Download button to get the map.
