Field Creation made easier and faster! 

Great video. Something to think about. Add a menu with start times of different steps so it would be easier to go back and rewatch/review the different stages. This would be very useful on a long and complex tutorial such as this one.

Thank you for this video, it definitely is a game changer to have in my map making arsenal. So far I have made 5 fields of different shapes and sizes. Thank you so much for doing what you are doing to better the FS community

Farmer Brown… 🤣 Started going through your map tutorial playlist two weeks ago. While I eventually want to make my own 4k map based on a local farming community I grew up in until I was 6, I have been playing the American Farmlands map mod on console and with only 6 fields on the map, it has large meadow areas to make your own fields. Using the existing farmlands as guides, I used plows to make new massive fields on the map for chaff to make silage for a modular BGA, and small to medium fields for grass/hay, straw and rotating crops. I used the Landscaping tool (which leaves a lot to be desired in painting tools) to make dirt field roads around the fields. I created a field on 9 farmlands about 72 HA in size for chaff which produces 13-15 million liters in one season. Really loving the layout I did, I wanted to make a modded version on PC for personal use and mod in the fields, adjust the farmlands and add some production / farm building areas just to enjoy the map with a more personal layout already available. I painted in the roads and field areas in the last week and using this video I finished creating the field dimensions yesterday and everything in game looks perfect. I just need to reconfigure the farmlands next. (I think I will email you screenshots of the finished product in comparison with the original layout.) I did run into a bit of an issue figuring out how to edit the modDesc.xml to name the map. If it is in the tutorial series I have not go to that yet, but editing that and creating icons for the maps would be a good video to cover if it has not been addressed. Thanks for the tutorials and extra vids, Bauer.

Great video, your explanation was perfect! Thank you

Thanks this video really helped. Only took 2 watch throughs to get it working!

Thanks very much for explaining the factor and field factor settings, makes things much easier! They way I use this script is to draw the fields with it on a new/blank map. start the game and use the Easy dev tool(F12) to set field ground to all cultivated and save the game. I then take the densityMap_ground.gdm file from my save folder and copy it to the map's data folder overwriting the old one. When you open the editor you then have all the field ready where you want them.

Very well explained. Thank you

this script is pretty aweseome.

Nice Video aus Script. I'm already using it. It's so usefull.

Great video, a bit lengthy for a tutorial but overall really helpful 👍🏻

have you used the create field dimensions panel from farmer boys modding? the field demensions with bit map does not work for me. not sure if i need to create a spline for the field dimensions panel or how that works.

Hey, i ran into an interesting issue, everything works except when i toggle render fields they are not a whole, but they consist of parallel stripes. When trying from map in-game stripes are there aswell, basically doesn't cover whole field.

Thank you, Thank you, I have tryed so many times to use this and never could get it, after 6 maps of doin square field...Those days are over.

Bauer Brown thank you! Tell me, I have this problem - some contracts for harvesting cannot be completed - 99%, there is not enough harvest. How can this be fixed?

This is great video but for some reason i cant not get this to work. I have probably tried 20 times. I can never get things lined up and in place. I follow this step by step minus i am trying to do this on a 4X map, so i adjust for that. when i get every thing done and i render my field its always smaller then what painted and its always half way across the map. Thoughts on how to adjust this to work?

Some of my fields have stripes in them when doing this on a 4x, my info layer field dimensions is 8192.

map is a 4096x4096 but the map dem shows 2048x2048 the fields are not where they are supposed to be. size of map is set at 2048 grle factor is set at 2 and the field factor is set at 1 in the script. could it be the map dem size that is wrong and is causing the issue?

For some reason when I generate with the scrip my fields are all stacking up in a corner on my map. Something with scale seem seems to be completely off. I tried a bunch of settings different sizes. Its almost like the generated fields arealways plopped at 2% of the maps size. I am working on a 4km map. map_dem 2049 infoLayer_fieldDimensions 4096 script local size 2048 Local factor 4 Field Factor 1

Thank you for this tutorial, I have tried this on my map which is a 4x, I followed your steps but every time I ran the script after painting my field (after saving of course) it always placed it in an entirely different section of my map, even though the painted fields were where I wanted them but the field map indicator placed them on other side of map. I have my local factor set at 2 and field indicator at 2, I tried changing them up but still the same problems, what am I doing wrong.

Hi Bauer, I really enjoyed your map making tutorials, extremely detailed and well done videos!! I have one question though and im getting only a little info from the internet about it.. and its about allowing contracts to field. I am seeing reports about adding "FieldMissionAllowed" to the userAttributes but I dont see them on any field in the basegame maps.. is any field automatically giving out contracts in FS22 or do I need to manually add them while making a map? Also FieldGrassMission is another attribute.. I cant figure out if this makes a field grass only or just grass as a possibility.. Im really hoping you have the answers as nobody seems to have them for FS22.. all im seeing is videotutorials about FS19 and earlier.. but then again, nobody did such extensive videos on mapmaking before so you are my best bet :D

THANK YOU! Been wanting to know how to do this. And you explained so much more. Just finished watching the video. Now I'm going to try it for myself. I have two maps that I'm trying to create with round fields, and it's been like pulling teeth from a warthog! I had all but given up trying to do it the "Giants Editor" way. But now... Saying "Thank you" is not enough!

Isn't there a gimp version of this? Would love to see a tutorial on that

--Set bits of bitmap (normaly 8 bits) local bits = 8 --Set size of map (normaly 1024) local size = 2048 --Set factor for bigger grle's local factor =2 --Set field factor (glreSize/mapSize) (f.e. standardmap: 4096 / 2048 = 2 local fieldFactor =0.5 this was the only setting i could get it to sorta work. any other suggestions?

I have an error message Error: Please select FieldDefinition defintions root! when i try to run the script

Awesome video so helpful making my map hey I'm having trouble increasing my farmlands limit wondering if you have done it before cheers

When I run the script, the field dimensions and field map indicator are outside of the map, resulting in a LUA error. How do I fix this?

Hey Bauer, do you have any idea how to get the fields to have my selected crops when starting a start from scratch rather than having random fruits in the fields, my map is Irish based I want to have the fields that I don’t own to have grass growing in them as that is what we mostly see here in Ireland, that’s the only thing that I’m stuck on, the generation of fruits on the AI fields not owned by the player

i just recently started working on a map, i have followed this viedo to a T, but some hoe i have phantom fields when i create new fields. they do not show up on the map but they have a name under the fields in scenegraph, how do i fix this?

for some reason i cannot get mine to generate i have all spelling matching forward slashes changed. everything is coded. im running same settings as you are. When i run script it just flashes nothing happens. I watched video couple times im doing everything step by step. Any ideas? im desperate lol

How could i erase it?

sorry but i don't know what i did wrong but it will not create the fields i did everything you said i paint the field in save and the run the script and nothing

ugh, this makes website number 24 that I have to sign up for to download a single item.

Can you do a tutorial for us direct talkers who's head blows with the waffle

i keep getting this error Error: C:/Users/ammer/AppData/Local/GIANTS Editor 64bit 9.0.6/scripts/FieldDimensionsWithBitmap.lua:8: '' expected near '/' any one tell me how to fix this thanks

further to my problems with not placing the field where I want it, I keep getting this message..........Error: C:/Users/dttt1/AppData/Local/GIANTS Editor 64bit 9.0.6/scripts/FieldDimensionsWithBitmap.lua:8: '' expected near '/' I do not understand what this error message means
