Progress Update: 02/10/25

Hello everyone! Just wanted to give an update on what I've been up to over the last little while. For the most part, it's been figuring out the conversion system and trying to make maps do things they normally couldn't.

I have a couple other things I've been wanting to work on, but I'm kind of waiting for a few game related things to happen. For example, now that Precision Farming has been announced for FS25, I kind of want to wait and see what the FS25 implementation looks like before getting too heavy into "soil mod" related things. That's another complicated one, and I don't want to get something written up, just to have to go back and change it all once that comes out.

Another one is the units. I'm really just hanging back to see if Additional Units gets released for FS25. That one is more complicated than most think, just because you have to go through and rewrite each individual in-game screen that displays units. The reason is, those numbers usually get sent to those screens without any fill type data attached other than the language specific titles that are user changeable. Not super useful in most cases.

So you have to change each screen to collect that information before actually converting the numbers. Then, after converting all the screens and making the conversion functions, you have to design and program in game menu. Not a quick process. Also, the screens are one thing that is always completely different when each new game is released. You basically have to start over.

That being said, I am working on some new ways to do all that, hopefully making the process a little faster and easier to do. Either way, I'm sure extra units will be returning in one form or another.

Finally, while I'm working on things, I'm always available for member questions or requests. I usually answer right away, unless circumstances prevent me from using my phone or something. Anyway, always busy lol.

But that's all for now. I'll update more as I get more finished Have a good one!
