Row Crop System: Pre-Release Changes

Hello everyone! Just a quick head's up on some pre-release changes I'm making to the Row Crop System. While everything works pretty well for most, some do struggle getting things to behave properly. I would say over 90% of this is due to minor misconfigurations that the vanilla system is more tolerant of.

I do need to mention again, preparing a map for this system is not meant for people new to modding, and definitely not recommended for people new to PC. Nearly all forms of modding require learning various skills, patience, practice, and experience. This is no different. The setup if fairly straight forward and simple but quickly becomes challenging if you do not know what you are doing.

For that reason, I have added some validation code that will notify you if a map has issues that need to be addressed for the system to work. This is what I have been working on for the last few days. What it does is, on load, looks through your files and such to find anything that may cause things to misbehave. It doesn't catch everything, and I'll be checking for more things as time goes on. It should eliminate a lot of the guesswork, however.

The validation works at map level and at implement level. For example, if you try using an old RCR planter, the script should detect that and let you know in game. This is the example shown in the video. Just a simple alert, much like if you tried harvesting in the rain.

Again, this is all intended to make issues easier to sort out if/when they arise. As soon as I get all this tested, I will go ahead and post the stable version. These versions do not get updated as often as the betas, so I want to be fairly certain everything is going to work correctly.

That's all for now, later!
