Hi all,
I am having a issue when I add
defaultFarmProperty=true
to the farmland in the farmlands xml.
When I test in game it is no longer a field. If I remove the defaultFarmProperty=true. Then it is a field and behaves as all the other fields. The field I add the line to is 20 ish acres. Maybe that is a issue being so big. Maybe a max on size.
Thanks

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been having a fair amount of issues with this site lately. Make that this line defaultFarmProperty=true is written as defaultFarmProperty=”true”. You’re version is missing the quotes and that will surely cause an issue.

Hi Bauer,
Thanks for the reply.
I made the change. I am still having the same problem.
I have looked at other maps and even added the line you suggested to there formland xml. The same thing happens. It is no longer farmland. It changes the farmland to just a decorative piece of land with crops on it.
Also I check almost daily to see if anyone had responded. It was only today I was wondering what I wrote. When I noticed you had responded. For me the refresh/reload seems broken.
And omg the tutorial series.. A 1,000,000,000,000,000 thanks for doings those. After watching those I was able to make a 4 kilometer map. Or should I say 4X 🙂 The L10n was very helpful.. on and on and.. all the other videos

Is it only this one property that you are having issues with?
The size would not make a difference, that I’m sure of. The problem must be something else.
BTW: If you check the box below that says “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” you’ll be notified when you get a response.

Hi Bauer,
Yes, as far as I know. I have checked the error log. No errors. I also have 200 hours of game play on the map and have had no issue.
Maybe I have misunderstood something.
What I am trying to do is give the default/home farm some fields to start with. Currently the home farm has no fields to farm.
I am wondering if notepad++ is adding some attribute to the file that I am unaware of.
-
Notepad wouldn’t be adding anything, if it did you would surely see an error. Generally, you just pick the fields that you want to include with the starting farm and add defaultFarmProperty=”true” to the farmland entry in the farmlands.xml – that’s all that should be needed. From there, every field within that farmland should be owned.
Did you try starting a new savegame? Perhaps because you already have so many hours on this map?

Hi Bauer,
The issue was discovered while map was in testing phase. During that phase was no save game. Even after testing when I made a changes I always started new game/new save.
As a test. I just now picked a random map. I chose “Rocky Mountain Reserve ” I went into farmlands xml. I copied the line from farmlands 1. I pasted to farmlands 2. Which is feild 32 on map. When I go into start new save/new game. I now own feild 32. But now no field nfo is displayed. I can no longer farm this. Now it is just decorative dirt. Then I went back to farmlands xml. Removed my changes. Start new game. Now I do not own field 32 and now it displays the field info. I can now also farm it.
I am now beginning to think it is something on my system. Something possibly corrupt. But I haveno8dea just a random guess.
-
I don’t think it has anything to do with something being corrupt, or at least that’s something I haven’t come across yet. You say the rest of the fields are fine? No issues with them? I’m at a bit of a loss on this one. Are you making sure to not load any mods when testing the map? Could be a mod conflict? I really can’t think of what else may cause an issue like this.
-
Hi Bauer,
Yes, all tye rest of them are fine. They all display the field info and can farm like one would expect. For test I select the option to deselect all mods. So no mods load.
Thank you soooooooooooooo much for your time Bauer. I really appreciate.
I am not able to let this go. So when I figure it out I will post back.
Do you know of some way to submit a question to Giants other than the forums. I do not understand why none are available on the forums to help.
A random question. Do you know a active place to ask questions about vehicle mods.
-
I’ll keep kicking it around in the meantime and see if I can come up with a solution.
The forums are hit and miss with getting questions answered. You can also search discord, there are lots of channels there and the people are much more willing to help out (usually).

Hi Bauer,
Again thanks for your time and the help. Greatly appreciated.
Oh yes very good idea about discord. I will definitely pursue that. Thanks
