Re-Worked, Improved Video - How to Add 64 Extra Fruits to your Map 

You are most welcome ☺

Hi there Buddy, amazing work.. i am very glad to hear. Would you mind sharing your map with me, i would like to make a video on your achievement. boetfaas@gmail.com

No problem 👍

Yeah you made a typo, if there is a problem in your i3d it does that, to find it drop your unzipped map on testrunner and fix the i3d.

Normally that happens when you drop the file on the exe, that will not work, drop it on the .bat file, which is the actual convert command. 😊

The folder you put the grle converter in can't have any spaces in the name. If it has spaces it absolutely will not work.

Absolutely correct, take the grle converter and place it in the root of your c drive in its own folder. As suggested, no spaces in folder names. This always work. 😊

@@FarmerBoBonRU-vid Finally circled back to this - moving it to my root c drive folder made it work :-)

Sorry to hear that man.. it means you got a problem with the gdm, either you did not rename the extensions in i3d to .png or you still have the originals in the data folder together with the pngs. Or you edited the wrong sections in the terrainheight or foliagemultilayer. If one digit is wrong or one step is not 100% done it will not work even just a space where it shouldnt be causes a problem. 😊

My pleasure,.. no it is totally ok for it to be .png it is only when you want to do changes and conversions where this is a problem. That is why i always say leave the gdm and grle in that correct format. Those warnings are because of issues in the game itself, i basically always just ignore them as it will not effect gameplay. You can actually test it, the editor and game will accept the .png as a grle or gdm file. Even if you have the extension of the file .png so it doent really matter. But for sake of simplicity, i like to keep things simple.

hi there,, 1. this only preps the map for more that 10 extra fruits.. (enhances the standard maps fruit channels to handle another 34 plus extra fruits above standard. so 64+ fruit capability) 2. you cannot edit the base game maps you will break the game, you need to make a copy of any of the 3 base game maps (follow my video on making your own start map) 3. to set your map name you edit the moddesc.xml in there are normally (should be) 2 sections, first one is for your map icon, second one is the maps title in the load screen.

Thanks for that tip. Gr8 to know😀👍

step 2 i can add 11 more fruits + the 10 of your previus (tutorial add 10 more fruits 😁😁) make the change to i3d file but then when i open this in the giants editor stange things happen... crops are imported be where there is grass on the map (nex to road's ectra one off the cropstate off one extrafuittype is imported aaaaaaaaaaallllll over the map... any idees about this? best regards,

@@mrT-c9g if you watch the video, i explain the order of fruit needs to stay as is and thebnew fruit need to be added below the existing ones in the fruit multilayer section. So move those below and recreate the gdm file as per the video. 😀👍

wil try again thanks for the fast respons. Ps keep up the good work, alsays nice to learn something new. 👍

@@mrT-c9g thanks 😊 🙏

Normally if th3 map doesnt open ingame it will tell you why in the error log. Check there, fix the errors 😊

@@FarmerBoBonRU-vid This is the problem - there are no errors in the log, the log is error-free

​@K.P.Modding_PL ok what happens when you open your map in the editor? Is there anything in the log? Ps.. you cannot have the .png and the .gdm in the folder you must either rename or delete.

sure my friend, if your map crashes, check the editor log at users/(your windows username)/appdata/local/giants editor 9.04/editor_log.txt it shouls show in the last lines why it crashes

@@FarmerBoBonRU-vid thanks for the help. Turns out the is was the zip file for the map was in the same folder as the unzipped folder. There's no errors in GE and I can load and play the map but it still has "Error: addDensityMapHeightType: maximum number of height types already registered." in the game log.

Glad I checked the comments, had the zipped and unzipped file on my desktop, just moved the zipped file to a folder and it worked, I have a feeling this is where most people are running into issues

@@frax109 I had that too on my latest try. Any idea what might cause it?

No the dlc should work fine, this is for guys who woukd like to add more than 10 extra fruit to their map. The game by default allows 10 extra fruits. Unless your map has fruit that clashes with the dlc. In that case you will nedd to remove the fruit that clashes from your map.i3d and other xmls.

Hi there this procedure involves multiple copy and paste items in various xmls as well as the map i3d and if you make one mistake somewhere there will be problems. if your map doesn't open in the editor it means that you have a problem in your map i3d. to find out what the problem is you need to open your user profile in Windows Explorer so go to users, appdata and in local the under Giants editor the version you have, check for the log file, there it will give you an error what the problem is

Ok, upload your map and send me a download link to boetfaas@gmail.com i will see if i can help you.

Sure you can add crops using my mf pack downloadable from my website. Just follow the video on that too.

When you use my MF pack, The only directory that needs changing is the ones in the map.i3d pointing to the fruit xmls

I show you how to do that in the video

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nfjsHo7wpXQ.html

Thank you. It's work.

If you made a typo ur editor will crash.

yes just add my mf pack, download from my website and follow the installation video. ps fruits are now different in the pack but the video process is the same.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nfjsHo7wpXQ.html

you cannot do just one step, you need to follow and do the entire video, then recreate both gdm files as in the video.

@@FarmerBoBonRU-vid Sorry Bob, i send pictures to your discord about this

@@kalifzerich7187 did you add more fruit to your map? Have a look at my video on adding more fruit, the new fruit needs to be below the existing ones, if you mess wiith the order of th3 existing fruit you will have issues with fruit missing and in the wrong place. If this is not the case then i will sugguest th3 following, remove everything you added, mutifruit as well as extra fruit capabilities, or restore a backup of your map before you added these. Then do the 64fruit capabilities first, check everything is ok and then start adding your fruit.

@@FarmerBoBonRU-vid I have the problem as well and don't know why alle the grass around the fiels is gone except for grass on fields. Also I don' know why alfalfa and clover are the only fruits which don#t work. It says that they are not at growth.seasonal.fruit.

I keep on having this same problem when i do this to karhuvaara map. Tried 5 times now and everytime same result. Any1 have found any solution to this?

Hi there 😊 ☺ 🤗 🙂 😄

its a common error for a file that is either corrupted or it has an invalid channel count. you can try creating a savegame, then copy the file you want from the savegame and see if that will work.. to test try another maps file or one of the ingame maps to make surer the converter is working..

if this works then just replace yours with the new one created.

Try these: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--pF_jj3-D4s.htmlsi=MzFndMKUUz0UUqHf ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PhGO_O8kbTA.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a9DWDDld_jY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yL2KN2icQZY.html

Yes this is a common error, it means your gdm file is not converted. Your old gdm file has 12 channels, it need be replaced by a new one. I shiw this steps clearly in the video so just follow them precisely, remember to rename ur gdm file in the mapi3d back to gdm and delete the png from the data folder.

@@FarmerBoBonRU-vidThanks for the quick reply mate. Unfortunately, I think there is something else wrong. I have followed the instructions with absolute precision. Even starting from a fresh extracted copy of the map multiple times. The conversion to png and update to the fileIDs is working because I can successfully regenerate the gdm files by opening GE WITHOUT changing the terrainDetailHeight or FoliageMultilayer values. It only fails with the new values. Pasting lines here for reference: If you have any other suggestions, I am all for trying it. Appreciate your time.

Hi there, I think it might be best let me look at it, upload your map and email me a download link.. to boetfaas@gmail.com

@@FarmerBoBonRU-vid Hi, I have the same problem and we followed the instructions exactly. Would you find some time for me and see what's wrong?

@@xxlofftyxx3787 99% of the time guys expand the incorrect terrain layer.. send me your map, (before you added the mf ) you can send the link to boetfaas@gmail.com ill have a look

you have an error somewhere, check the game log. probably a mistake in the map.i3d you can also run your map through testrunner to check for errors

@@FarmerBoBonRU-vid I have a look tomorrow

Watch my video on adding my multifruit pack. It is the easiest way. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nfjsHo7wpXQ.html

Fs22 ;)

Hi there, i dont follow. Has the map been converted and not working? Anyways, it is not my map, so i can only do private conversions for guys to play privately.

If you can get atleast 20 guys that are on board with the map for console i can do a conversion. But these guys including yourself need be serious and willing to support the map conversion
