-- Chopped Straw
-- Spec for chopped straw left on field
#######################
Instructions part 1 of 7:
To prepare your MAP.I3D for use, three blocks of additional elements needs to be added to it:
- 4 File assets
- 3 Material assets
- 1 FoliageMultiLayer containing three FoliageSubLayers
These blocks are IN THIS file in the next instruction parts.
As always; MAKE A BACKUP ahead of time, in case you later made a mistake or some problems/errors occur which you can't quite figure out. This way you can always revert to your previous backup, and try follow the instructions again.
Map has to be extracted!
A. First you need to locate and write down three numbers from your own MAP.I3D file (use the find function of your Textbrowser!):
A-1. Find the 'fileId' of 'shaders/windrowFoliageShader.xml'. Note the value here->
A-2. Find the 'blockShapeId' in 'FoliageSubLayer name="wheat_windrow"'. Note the value here->
A-3. Find the 'blockShapeId' in 'FoliageSubLayer name="potato_haulm"'. Note the value here->
A-4. Find the LAST number in 'distanceMapIds' of 'FoliageSubLayer name="wheat"'. Note the value here->
A-5. Find the LAST number in 'distanceMapIds' of 'FoliageSubLayer name="rape"'. Note the value here->
A-6. Find the LAST number in 'distanceMapIds' of 'FoliageSubLayer name="maize"'. Note the value here->
B. Using the numbers you found in step-A, then in THIS FILE (in which you are reading at the moment), you have to search/replace some placeholders.
Note: When you search/replace, remember to include the two+two exclamation marks surrounding the placeholder-text.
- Example: search for !!PLACEHOLDER!! then replace with 1234 (use the find/replace function of your Textbrowser!)
B-1. Search for !!WINDROWSHADERFILEID!! and replace with the number you found in A-1.
B-2. Search for !!WINDROWBLOCKSHAPEID!! and replace with the number you found in A-2.
B-3. Search for !!HAULMBLOCKSHAPEID!! and replace with the number you found in A-3.
B-4. Search for !!WHEATDISTANCEMAPID!! and replace with the number you found in A-4.
B-5. Search for !!RAPEDISTANCEMAPID!! and replace with the number you found in A-5.
B-6. Search for !!MAIZEDISTANCEMAPID!! and replace with the number you found in A-6.

Instructions part 4 of 7:
Add the following <FoliageMultiLayer> and its <FoliageSubLayer>s to your own MAP.I3D. Insert it after the <InfoLayer ... /> element.
<!-- choppedStraw foliage layers -->
<FoliageMultiLayer densityMapId="99993" numChannels="3" numTypeIndexChannels="0">
<FoliageSubLayer name="choppedMaize_haulm" densityMapChannelOffset="2" numDensityMapChannels="1" materialId="99001" cellSize="8" viewDistance="80" terrainOffset="0.07" objectMask="65520" distanceMapIds="!!MAIZEDISTANCEMAPID!!" distanceMapUnitSizes="128" repeatLastDistanceMap="true" atlasSize="1" numBlocksPerUnit="1.4" width="1.5" height="1" widthVariance="0" heightVariance="0" horizontalPositionVariance="0.1" blockShapeId="!!HAULMBLOCKSHAPEID!!" useShapeNormals="false" alignWithTerrain="true"/>

</FoliageMultiLayer>
#######################
Instructions part 5 of 7:
Add the following <text> elements to <l10n> of your moddesc.xml.
<!-- chopped Straw l10n -->
<text name="choppedStraw">
<en>Chopped Straw</en>
<de>Gehäckseltes Stroh</de>
</text>
<text name="choppedMaize">
<en>Chopped maize</en>
<de>Gehäckselter Mais</de>
</text>
<text name="choppedRape">
<en>Chopped rape</en>
<de>Gehäckselter Raps</de>
</text>
#######################
Instructions part 6 of 7:
Add the following <sourceFile> element to <extraSourceFiles> of your moddesc.xml.
<sourceFile filename="map/choppedStraw/fruits.lua" />
If there´s no <extraSourceFiles> part, use the following elements:
<extraSourceFiles>
<sourceFile filename="map/choppedStraw/fruits.lua" />
</extraSourceFiles>
#######################
Instructions part 7 of 7:
Copy the FOLDER 'choppedStraw' to [mapName/map].
Copy the ZIP-FILE 'ZZZ_ChoppedStraw.zip' to your mods folder.
#######################
Finally open the map with Giants Editor. Possible errors are shown in the "Scripting" window. As long as there ARE errors, don´t save the map in Giants Editor. First solve the problems in the text editor.
If there are no more errors save the map in Giants Editor.
#######################
Troubleshooting:
If there´s no chopped straw in the game appearing, first check the log.txt. With correct installed choppedStraw there should be three entries:
*** ChoppedStraw fruittypes registered!
*** ChoppedStraw v1.2.xx specialization loading ***
*** ChoppedStraw added to:
[List of combine harvesters]
If the first entry is missing, the fruits.lua is not found/executed. Check instructions parts 6 & 7!
If the second entry is missing, something went wrong with ZZZ_ChoppedStraw.zip. Check instructions part 7!
If the third entry is missing, there´s maybe no supported combine harvester in your game.
