n2n1 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) ***Just Tip*** //// 3. Enter 'prefabupdater createmapping NameOfYourPrefab' (NameOfYourPrefab without the file extension .tts). Warning: The built-in converter still has bugs, so this point may require some addition steps. //// If You encounter possible problems with the conversion your prefab from A16 to A17, the solution may be to load the prefab and save it again using the old built-in editor from A16.

Pille Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 @Guppycur Those are just zoning groups. The quests are the quest types. Unsure what you are after. That was the type of information I was looking for : Possible values of QuestTags (from the .dll) are: none, quest, trader, clear, fetch, hidden_cache @n2n1 ***Just Tip*** If You encounter possible problems with the conversion your prefab from A16 to A17, the solution may be to load the prefab and save it again using the old built-in editor from A16.

n2n1 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Quite accidentally stumbled on the answer: it seems these tags were waiting for their time, and finally here they work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pille Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 You can add custom tags. So the ingame editor scans the xml files and shows you a list of all used editorgroups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After it saved everything looked fine but now I cannot open up the ingame error after the save. gives an error "input string was not in the correct format: s.Length==0" If I remove the prefab that was saved with your program, it works just fine again but the prefab of course in not in the folder.

Ahh there are no default values for the spawn counts. I am going to fix this with the next update. In order to get rid of the issue, enter a minimum and max. spawn count (see red arrows in the screenshot below). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicksGirl Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (v0.53) (A16 Version) - Air blocks being Replaced I'm using the (v0.53) (A16 Version) of this editor. no I have not updated it as I dont know if this will update it to the a17 version or not. i'm having an issue with airblocks in the prefab being replaced with terrain blocks or other blocks already present when I import the prefab. I understand this issue may be caused because i'm using a diersville cityblock prefab base as the prefab. so I edited that prefab to include 25 blocks of air above the city block layer, and another 5 below it. i also added stainless steel 50 columns aroudn the perimeter as a fence. regardless of these edits, when i import the edited version of the prefab, any air blocks present in the prefab will contain any terrain blocks they were meant to replace. is there a setting or something i dont know about because i'm a noob with pilles? please see: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pille Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Hi, go to the Xml tab and make sure that 'Copy air blocks' is checked: I'm using the (v0.53) (A16 Version) of this editor. no I have not updated it as I dont know if this will update it to the a17 version or not. A17 version should be backwards compatible with A16 but I haven't tested it yet.^^ Edited December 27, 2018 by Pille (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlicksGirl Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 is there a way to make ruler lines horizontally or vertically, or at least a dot in the center?

If not, that would make it fab. being able to easily locate the center of the project would be a nice addition. This feature is not implemented yet but I'll do my best... Just need more time to fix the broken functions (broken due to the changes in A17) . what do i need to export a prefab from a map? I am not really a pro with ingame editor. There might be more efficient ways to export: - Press F1 to open the console - Type dm and press enter - Close the console (press escape) - look at the ground and press z to spawn the blue export box - press and hold g and then click and drag the arrowheads to change the position of the box - press and hold shift + g and then click and drag the arrowheads to change the size of the box - press escape and click on export prefab to export every inside the box - press backspace to get rid of the box (thank you ecv) Edited December 28, 2018 by Pille included ecv's hint (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the circle selector is also broke, or at least i cant use it. also z export is not working in 16. I know there is a thread out there that provides a mod to enable it, i cant find that thread again. so i used BC manager, it took a bit because BC kept throwing errors. but i got the homestead project finished, imported for finishing touches, exported and added water and now its.. just dandy and waiting for players on my server, should they be inclined to homestead.

SlicksGirl Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 also, i wonder.. i know there is a way to convert a16 prefabs to work with a17, but is there a way to reverse this and convert a17 prefabs to work with a16? I would love to spawn one of the Victorian homes and rebuild it fsag while we serve up an a16 map, and i have at least 1 player who prefers to live in them.

SlicksGirl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 how do you get trees to spawn in game? I have surface decor checked and everything spawns just fine, but trees, no matter the type or size, do not spawn in-game, even though they are there in the files.

SlicksGirl Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 hey, in addition to checking off the spawning in biome/city boxes in the xml tab, which file to I need to edit to get a prefab to spawn in a vanilla game? is there a tutorial for this?
