Hey all, I've got a question that I have searched for with no luck of finding an answer. Since I want my map to be considered compatible also I want to bring other silos, barns etc from other maps that look really nice and will go perfectly for my idea of this map. Ok my question is, if I bring in said items will they make this map not compatible for consoles? Nothing like car washes or stuff that only is available for PC's but I really want to do this map right and have it reflect awesomeness. Does anyone have any insight to this?

If there are no errors and if it is not "8k texture" or if it is really good quality, I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible. I could be totally wrong about this, but I think you should try it. I would ask one of the QA people on the GIANTS forum and see what they say about those types of things. I would give them as much detail and what you want to bring in as possible, just so that they get a better understanding of what you are saying or wanting to do. I am pretty sure the QA people are who test the mods before releasing.

I don't know that I have actual insight...but I think if you brought in elements from other maps known to be console compatible (permissions sought and modders acknowledged) I cannot see where there would be a problem... if it works for one...it should work for another.. just my two cents... I am sure someone has far more insight than I

Thats what I was thinking about but I don't want to announce what I'm doing on that forum because most of the members there piss me off with their million stupid questions and demands of modders, if I knew exactly whom to ask I would PM that person, do you have any suggestions of who to ask?

So far everything I'm using or doing I've gotten full permission from the original authors with help offered and I plan on doing a nice little write-up for giving credit, even you guys here for the help and insight.

expanding on the whole truck and money thing carried on by JD.. I do love this idea.. add to that NO owned fields but a clear space with a single derelict silo to build you own building and add to storage to create your own farm by working for others in order to purchase your first field... I know I know...I am making it harder...
damn I wish I could do this myself...le sigh

Yeah I was striding for a PM, rather than the public. I would ask someone like "pfreek" about that, since he is the QA Lead. Here is his profile page: forum.giants-software.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=52693

It probably doesn't HAVE to... I just figured those on pre-existing console maps would definitely be safe... as for who to ask.... check the modding section for anyone that seems to have editor experience and is personable...names that come to mind.. for experience..., thunderhawk seems pretty insightfull, tycoonspaceman... you could even ask someone like shoe2... I know he is busy but he seems the sort that might help with a quick question

Yeah Thunderhawk, SOMS2, and TSM are great people to ask, especially SOMS2 since he's in the mapping business.

You guys are great! Thank you for your input, and this right here is why I'll only post publicly here and not on Giants forum. I'll get ahold of those guys for assistance when I'm done building a donkey birthing condo lol

Yes, a search party. Let's not forget preble818 too. Who's got which section of the US? There are three options as I don't know where they are located: Pacific, Mountain, and Eastern. Of course I have the Midwest.
