Submitting configs for mods.

[Jurkkis]

Can users submit configs for mod tractors to be included with the mod? I've created one which I've IRL experience with. http://www.farming2015mods.com/farming-simulator-2017-mods/fs-17-tractors/fs17-zetor-9540-10540/

Config: https://gist.github.com/Jurkkis/fef8daede40a5af5408b5d800265fe9f

[Quintto]

i think that would be an amazing idea!

[Quintto]

btw I'm working on a gearbox for the steyr 8110, I'm almost done but in which unit is the fuelUsageRatio , i can't find it in the documentation, i assume its in g/kWh, but i'm not sure

[Mogli12]

Hi, the unit for fuel usage is g/kWh.

[Quintto]

sorry for hijacking this issue thread, but i've added the gearbox stuff to the tractor, but now its not going in game its giving me this error: Register vehicle type: STEYR_8110aTurbo_SK2_V1.STEYR8110SK2 Error: C:/Users/Asus/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2017/mods/STEYR_8110aTurbo_SK2_V1/Steyr8110Turbo.xml. . .

Hi,

It would be much easier to create a file gearboxAddonConfig.xml in the mods folder. You can put all your configurations there. This works in SP and MP. Only the server needs the gearboxAddonConfig.xml.

Additionally, I propose to use notepad++ to edit XML. By the way: just delete line 32 in Steyr8110Turbo.xml.

Regards, Stefan

[Quintto]

thanks for the help, but i always thought you couldn't upload an XML file to a dedicated server right? (im using notepad++ already)

[Mogli12]

I do not have access to a dedi server right now.

[Quintto]

I do, I will try it tonight

[Jurkkis]

Thanks for response. If clients have their own configfile in mod folder, the server one will override? The configfile sure is easiest way, or include the gearbox config with the mods xml if you edit/maker your own vehicles. Just thought that making the configs takes some time to find the torque/gear ratio info for all your favorite mods, it would be nice to have some database for those.

As for uploading the gearboxAddonConfig.xml to dedicated server mod folder, it wont work through the FS web control panel, it just gives error for not supported mod type. You will need FTP Access to dedi mod folder, and not all server hosters provide this.

[Quintto]

I thought so, a database would be a nice idea, maybe make a google drive thats open for everyone to put their config (per tractor) in, like a zip file with: the config, sources and mod link like this one? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9A9perqHdPcSTVDSEdBRU9lcTg?usp=sharing edit: the steyr config is added to the folder

[Mogli12]

Nice idea. I have some configurations, which I did not want to include directly in FS17_GearboxAddon. I loaded the XML into your google drive.

[Quintto]

but why didn't you want to include them, I can't imagine its because of the size. those extra lines barely add any Kb's

[Anonymous-any]

Hi there maybe to modify and share them with easy way for all? because It's a constraint to update inside the zip file cause when online you know all player and server must have the same hash archive file...Although there is a way to bypass certain files from the archives outside but the solution is farfetched

[Mogli12]

Please do not modify the mod. Just place the gearboxAddonConfig.xml in the mods folder.

[Anonymous-any]

Sure ! that why I suggest to try to put outside configfiles ! if the idea can make his path. But you know like I already say if the archive is altereed from the original like modify gearboxAddonConfig.xml or another file the archive become hash different and then in multiplayer become gray cause you need to have the same hash file zip but pretty sure you know that.

[Quintto]

maybe its possible to make a seperate mod that can contain the configfiles, from which the gearboxmod grabs its additional configs

[cabmac]

with the gearboxAddonConfig.xml in your MODS-FOLDER you have a seperated file for all your personal vehicles without to touch de gearbox-mod (zip)

[Quintto]

yeah but the point is making it work on a dedicated server, where you can't have XML files in the mods folder, only ZIP files

[cabmac]

ah, ok, a database would be very interesting, but i think i has to be in a forum, something like this: https://vertexdezign.net/forum/index.php/Thread/1616-Austausch-von-Getriebe-f%C3%BCr-Gearbox-Addon-ls15-ls17/?postID=22338&highlight=gearbox#post22338

[Quintto]

yeah probably, but maybe make it on an English forum like FS-UK or http://modcentral.co.uk/ so everyone can participate and understand what people are saying

[Jurkkis]

Forum sounds good. Someone just makes initial post with template how to post and (upload) configs that everyone follows. I've got 40km/h delta powershift gearing setup ready for older Valtras that is good for Mega/Hitech 8000 series and early T-Series. Just need to make torque curves for different engines.

[Mogli12]

Maybe we could combine this one with #89. We need some more flexibility to store configurations, even on the dedi server. Selecting the right transmission out of different possibilities could be part of the configuration menu. This is just an idea for the next version. Maybe we can even access a central server like in https://www.modhoster.de/mods/global-market? I do not know yet.

[Quintto]

if it would be possible to make such central database for all the configs, that would be really nice especially if it could be combined with selectable transmission. but for now i think a forum thread would be nice, should I make one on fs-uk?

[Mogli12]

@Quintto: Yes!

[Mogli12]

Hmm, maybe we can store the config later here in github???

[cabmac]

could be interesting too,

[Quintto]

made the topic: http://fs-uk.com/forum/index.php?topic=191932.new#new

[cabmac]

very awesome detailed example...this is how it should be...

[Quintto]

thanks, now lets hope people actually help and share their configs

[Anonymous-any]

Hi, Quintto is nothing else is losing in you shared config? like the pathmod and xml name to found down in configFile? but maybe i'm wrong in all cases i've dl the tractor and try to do it. Regards

[Quintto]

that's because that config was made to put in the mod.xml and not in a config, so I'm able to put it on my dedicated server

[Anonymous-any]

Oh ok sorry but newbies go have a shared config nonfunctional no?

[Quintto]

what do you mean?

[Anonymous-any]

well to install a config a guy who don't know all base about the mod go have a config not functionnal if he read the post and try (my english is sad no? ^^)

[Quintto]

I see what you mean, but I don't really know how I should go about explaining that, maybe @Mogli12 has an idea?

[Anonymous-any]

yes i don't know but at time what is see is just adding

    <vehicle>STEYR8090aTurboSK2
    <mod name="FS17_STEYR8090aTurboSK2">
        <xmlFile name="Steyr8090TurboSK2.xml"/> 
    </mod>

go solve the problem than it do? add this copy paste to your share for a beginner seem to work?

[Anonymous-any]

Well :/ i try to buy the tractor and returning an error is that your mod or conversion Quintto? I add i already got this error when try to convert a mod but never found the cause...but i think it's linked to a rotation something like that spawn buy placement depending of mapmod?

https://github.com/Courseplay/courseplay/issues/1460

[Quintto]

thats because its for the steyr 8110 not the 8090 and thats an i3d error, i don't think that has anything to do with the gearboxmod right?

[Anonymous-any]

no no I give the explain sorry

Well the config is very good just an abnormality the non turbo version engine should not have blowOffVentilSound otherwise it is really well tiered very good !

@Mogli12 if you come here is there any special code to specify multi engines: --> blowOffVentilSound volume="0" <--non turbo --> blowOffVentilSound volume="1" <--for turbo engine don't laugh please ^^ for the same vehicle but different engines you know with or not turbo? I can not seem to found the appropriate line code for separate engines sound in same xml config...if possible obviously

[Anonymous-any]

No way possible then?

[Mogli12]

Hi, you can create two entries for the same mod for different engines. Example is at the end of https://github.com/Mogli12/GearboxAddon/blob/master/FS17_GearboxAddon/gearboxAddonConfig.xml.

It works like this:

    <vehicle>Steyr profi CVT
        <mod name="FS17_SteyrProfi">
            <xmlFile name="SteyrProfiCVT.xml" engines="2 4 6 8"/>
        </mod>

The extra attribute engines is the trick.

[Quintto]

nice! but I assume you still need to add the extra engine configs in the mod.xml right? so instead of not touching the xml, you need to add the extra engines for the Profi CVT additionally to the powershift ones? anyways, this is an awesome addition!

[Mogli12]

Yes, you need two engine configurations. So there is one for the power shift transmission and one for the CVT. It is just that the engines attribute limits the configuration entry to the corresponding motor configurations.

[Anonymous-any]

Cool ! thank and then we can choose to insert the turbo sound

<blowOffVentilSound volume=

or not many thank Maestro ! :)

[Anonymous-any]

Hi, I would submit a question not sure is there not a bug in the "newHolland8340" range configuration where there is two almost the same like this? `

        <ranges defaultRange="2" shiftTimeMs="800">
            <range name="L" ratio="0.43"/>
            <range name="H" ratio="1"/>
        </ranges>

        <ranges defaultRange="2" shiftTimeMs="800">
            <range name="L" ratio="0.245"/>
            <range name="H" ratio="1"/>
        </ranges>`

?? to know if I can remove one that do nothing? but I know nothing ^^ Br

[Mogli12]

Hi, This article is in German. But the Fords and New Hollands of that time have a transmission with 16/16 gears, 4 power shift gears and 2 groups with 2 ranges: http://www.dlg-test.de/pbdocs/traktoren/ford-8240sle.pdf

[Anonymous-any]

Hi, thank it's ok yes I see too the Ford use same conf but the question is two are used in same time or we must choose the one we want to keep? Br

[Mogli12]

Hi, The keys for the first range are KEY_rightbracket and KEY_backslash. If you additionally press the right shift key you can change the second range. Regards, Stefan

[Anonymous-any]

Why I'm so stupid sorry for disturb big thank you Stephan
