Fs15 (Basic) Mod Conversion
Hello everyone I wanted to share basic converting based on what I learned myself and what I've read on converting FS13 mods to FS15...WARNING THIS IS A BASIC TUT I WILL ADD AS TIME GOES....ANY CHANGES I MAKE WILL BE IN RED
This part is based on a tractor I converted could be different for other people..
First thing your gonna want to do is copy the emissiveAdditiveShader.xml from your game and paste it in your mod folder where your emissivebillboardshader(You may delete this now) is....
Second your gonna wanna open up your .i3d with notepad and look for your emissivebillboardshader.xml and replace it with the emissiveAdditiveShader.xml like so
<File fileId=".........." filename="Texturas/emissivebillboardshader.xml" relativePath="true"/>
to this
<File fileId=".........." filename="Texturas/emissiveAdditiveShader.xml" relativePath="true"/>
This is based on a few trailers and sowingmachines I converted could be different for other people:
First thing your gonna want to do is copy the emissiveLightsShader.xml from your game and paste it in your mod folder where your emissivebillboardshader(You may delete this now) is....

to this
<File fileId=".........." filename="Texturas/emissiveLightsShader.xml" relativePath="true"/>
Third in your moddesc you need to change the desc verion to
<modDesc descVersion="21">
Fourth you need to change <machinetype></machinetype> to
<category></category>
for the category you can put
Fifth in the moddesc right under categories you need to add your specs
<specs>
<spec>...</spec>
</specs>
your specs can be set as these examples(this helps other people know what your mod holds and has in the shop menu saves alot of time!)
<capacity unit="$l10n_unit_liter">10570</capacity> <!-- capacity in liters -->
<combination>$l10n_shopItemName_caseIH3020Cutter</combination> <!-- a tool/vehicle, which fits to this tool/vehicle -->
<fillTypes>wheat rape maize barley</fillTypes> <!-- possible fillTypes -->
<power>135</power> <!-- horse power -->
<workingWidth>10.5</workingWidth> <!-- working width -->
Sixth under your specs you'll need to add your function for you mod so it can be determined in the game..like so
<functions>
<function>$l10n_function_baleTrailer</function>
</functions>
Functions you can add
And last for now in the mods .xml you need to add the type desc under the file name at the top and should look like so
<typeDesc>$l10n_TypeDesc_trailer_mouseControlled</typeDesc>
Here are some examples of what types you can have
I hope this simple tut helps you in your road to conversions and mod making I will update this when I can get more info and recieve the game to test on how to update scripts from FS13 to work...Any questions you may have feel free to ask me or as I'm sure Gary and others will pitch in....If theres something I left out let me know and I'll add it in....JUST AN UPDATE IF YOUR GONNA ASK FOR HELP PLEASE PLEASE POST A LOG!!
