How to make grass bales?

LiborTheOne · 6. Mai 2015, 22:25

Hi everyone,
I wonder if it is possible to create grass (not hay) square bales. I already posted this question on official FS forum, but still no help .
Is there some mod or relatively easy way to self edit some files?
I get suggestion about fillTypes for baler, but from my point of understanding it just changes what can go in baler, not what goes out.
So maybe if there is not yet any mod to create grass bales, where in game files are bales or they creation defined?
I am programmer so do not hesitate to by technical if there is a easy way.

I've seen such mods for the FS13, however never used them. It should be possible to convert them to FS15. And if you have programming experience, you'll quickly learn the modding basics for the FS. Main work is XML and perhaps LUA scripting.
There are many tutorials and helpful articles around in the web. Also you can ask in the developers site gdn.giants-software.com

To find the mods, goto modhoster main page "2013", type into mod search "grass bales" for the en/us site, "grasballen" for the ge site. If you even have the FS13, you can immediately test the mods yourself and choose your favorite.

If you later plan to publish a converted mod, you should contact the original author (just for fairness).

But perhaps it's already enough, if you have examined and understood the functions, so you can create your own mod (eg. by using Giants templates).

to BilboBeutlin:
I found only 4Quaderballen from FS13, but it seams to me as only some kind of retexture.
Other thing is, that I don't have time to study Giants engine just to create grass bales.

to Joni 1510:
This mod doesn't work this way. It just allow grass to go to baler, but it makes hay bales.

Then you didn't search enough. Try these:
modhoster.de/mods/krone-comprima-ursus-silage-ballen-ready
modhoster.de/mods/rundballentechnikpack
modhoster.de/mods/lely-welger-tornado--13

Sorry, but in fact I did.
If you could look at my first post, I am looking for grass square bales and these are all round bales.
There is a mod for round bales in FS15, I think BaleExtension, but there is nothing for square.
I assume, that because in vanilla you can only wrap round bales, nobody yet cares about grass square bales.
But I just want them!!!

Well, that shouldn't be a real problem. Round or square bales are merely different objects in the 'output'. Should be adapted quite easily somewhere in the XML or/and LUA script. But since I don't own the FS15, I can give only some hints

LiborTheOne · 7. Mai 2015, 12:03

That's the problem "somewhere in the XML or/and LUA script".
Unfortunately I don't have time to learn whole Giants engine, and so far nobody was able or willing to tell me where or how exactly are bales created.
There is baler.xml, there is bale.i3d, fillTypes, ... But how they work together?
If I was unemployed or student then probably, but now I really don't have time to study pages and pages of documentation just to create grass square bale.

Too bad, especially if you're a programmer, you had to understand, that writing a point-to-point instruction takes more time and efford than creating the mod self.
So consider to place your concern in the subforums "Mod & Map Wünsche", perhaps a modder is interested in making such a mod.

I don't need point-to-point instructions, just general idea, like I don't know, "baler look to baler.xml finds bale by fillType and then refer to bale.i3d" or something like that. Just simple general idea how are bales created.
