Universal Autoload v0.3.2.6

Universal Autoload v0.3.2.6

This automatically modifies the actual base game trailers, and will be applied to any new or existing trailers on your farm. Please see the included read-me file for instructions on adding to your own mod trailers or pallets.

Changelogs:

V0.3.2.6

• Fix for #205
• This was a test for adding a global “Mod Settings” menu and I thought I had commented it out before release

v0.3.2.5
Partial fix for #198

• This only prevents the error, but still doesn’t actually detect the loading area because the tension belts are in a vertical plane
• There is also something really weird going on with a delay when switching to this platform for the first time
• I’ve added some timestamps to help debug, but it seems to happen between onLoad and doUpdate..

v0.3.2.3

• Changed default for loadingFilter from true to false
• Should make this setting save properly now

V0.3.2.2
Added a button to save the autoload configuration without purchase

• Now you can save settings (to local file in SP, or to the server settings file in MP) with a button from the shop settings menu
• At the moment all previous methods to save configs are still active (buy/lease/workshop) – I’m open to suggestions of if we should keep all of these methods, or remove some. Maybe it could even be a global setting of how the local settings are saved?

V0.3.2.1

• Fix for #182
• Sorry, I forgot to test the shop as well as the workshop!

V0.3.2

A few quality of life changes:

• fix for #177 – added logic for when useConfigName is missing from settings file
• added new default configs for Riedler TimberTrailer3A
• partial fix for #178 – enable “apply config” button in workshop for all autoload vehicles (changes no longer needed)

v0.3.1.0
Autoload can now be Enabled/Disabled.

• “Enable/Disable Autoload” button in the shop now actually works
• Added new console command ‘ualResetConfigurations’ (experimental feature)
• Create a default configurations file if no mod settings file exists yet (useful for new users)
• Clear all load areas from config file before updating with a new one

NOTES:
– Disabled trailers should work just like they would without UAL installed. You can enable it again by going into the shop or workshop like changing any other UAL feature/setting. (I’m now waiting for all the bugs where people tell me that autoload is not working… lol)
– Use the new console command with CAUTION – it will erase all of your existing configurations and replace the whole file with defaults. It will not preserve any that are missing, especially already configured mods since they obviously won’t be in the defaults. This was added for troubleshooting, not intended for use when everything is working. Maybe useful to reset broken settings files on servers (UNTESTED).
– There was a bug when updating a config with fewer areas, the old ones would still exist in the config. Now we remove all previous areas before saving, but the downside is that there is now a higher risk of corrupting configs with no load areas (i.e. if something goes wrong during saving).

V0.3.0.3

• Improved ualAddLogs console command
• Added more log types to the ualAddLogs console command
• Improved log loading where previously it would skip some places

v0.3.0.2

• Fixed LEASE button – see #168

v0.3
Hopefully resolves #69 – IMPROVED MP SYNC

• There is quite a high probability that something is broken now – please report any issues
• Big change to the order of events when vehicles are loaded
• New configurations are written to settings (or sent to the server in MP) when clicking “YES” on the buy/lease/edit dialog
• Hopefully this means that the server now gets the settings before creating the vehicle

I have tested on my own server and seems to work fine, but I don’t know how much of the vehicle creation network stuff is synchronous/asynchronous so there is a good chance it may not work sometimes..

V0.2.2.4

• Menu button is working again!

V0.2.2.3

• Controller “BACK” button should now work for Autoload menu
• Any set input for “MENU_BACK” should now work to exit the menu
• Removed test global menu again

V0.2.2.2

• Added more console commands
• ualAddBales
• ualAddLogs (only TRANSPORT LOGS for now)
• ualClearLoadedObjects

V0.2.2.1

• Added some more things to the menu
• Fixed “Open Menu” button moving around
• Removed OK button and renamed back button as “Close”
• Enable/Disable autoload still does not do anything (apart from hide the menu)
• New menu items should be self explanitory (NOT FULLY TESTED!)

v0.2.2

• Added some actual MENU functionality!
• New menu should work for all items:
• Set bale/log/box/curtain trailer types
• Horizontal Loading
• Side Manual Loading Triggers (“Enable side loading”)
• Rear Manual Loading Triggers (“Enable rear loading”)
• Front/Rear Unloading

NOTE:

• Enable/Disable Autoload doesn’t actually disable anything yet
• Manual loading ONLY works with forklift (not with super strength)
• Added warning about renaming bad config names from earlier versions (see e.g. #127 / #140)

v0.2.1.4

• No feature changes
• Fixed an issue where the menu button was not shown in the correct place when changing between different vehicles

v0.2.1.3
Fix for #130

• One line change to prevent error on detecting bales
• Have also put some more bales in my main test savegame

v0.2.1.2
Another update for the weekend – more console commands to follow!

• First console command added – ualAddPallets
• Fix for #104 Added delta for size comparisons to allow for differences in measurements
• Added extra space around BigBags for now because we measure in the centre not at the base
• Adjustment for #5 Reduced transparency of loading volume adjustment dots in shop

v0.2.1.1

• now should clean the xml path for mods and dlcs when saved in the settings xml
• mod can still read full paths from old settings
• new paths will be replaced with the shortened version

v0.2.1.0

• Added template for shop configuration menu
• Added an empty menu (it doesn’t actually do anything)
• Menu close and accept buttons work, but only when clicking (not with keys)
• Added a load of language stuff – don’t translate yet as things may change or not be needed
• Partial fix for #112 Removed debugging text apart from when debugging mode is active
• Fix for #120 Similar to fix for selling logs, we just listen for any logs that are cut

V0.2.0.1

• Sold wood was not detected as leaving the trigger, so now we look for anything that is deleted and check if it was loaded

NOTE: A reminder to remove any previous settings for log trailers (or bale trailers) from your mod settings file if you had previously bought and configured them before v0.2.0.0

V0.2

• Finally Added LOGS!!
• Log loading is now working (without any collision detection)
• A “log factor” allows for logs to take up less space than if the bounding boxes were stacked
• Also added a speed check to help avoid #108
• Don’t expect ALL log trailers to work properly – it should be added for those in WOODTRANSPORT and
  FORESTRYFORWARDERS categories. I guess some of those shouldn’t actually have it. As before with curtain and bale trailers, you should remove any entries from the settings file if you have configured them previously.
• You will also have to RESIZE the box yourself. Log trailers are mostly air with no flat surfaces, so it is difficult to find the loading space programatically.

v0.1.0.1

• Added margin around triggers to prevent detection of items outside the defined volume
• Fixed a bug that prevented loading other items when the biggest one didn’t fit
• Now restraps tension belts after partial unloading

NOTE: this should fix some of the “item can’t be loaded” bugs, but there is a chance of the telefragging pallets type of bug coming back.. Those two bugs are in opposition to each other!

v0.1

• Automatically identify bale and curtain trailers
• Added a message to the readme to see if the third-party mod sites actually read anything they scrape before they post it.

NOTE: Your local settings will still override anything automatic, so use the the new detection of bale and curtain trailers the easiest thing is to remove your mod settings file and buy them all again (as you did when you started). OR otherwise you can edit the settings file to remove those trailers that you want to be reconfigured.

v0.0.0.18

• Fixed the “always load the longest items first” bug;
• Cleaned up warning messages about key binding conflicts. Key bindings conflict messages should now only appear once per game.

v0.0.0.17

• I remebered to update the version in moddesc this time.
• Some extra validation to prevent #99
• Fix for bug #72 – Don’t stack sapling pallets

V0.0.0.16

• The issue here was a key binding conflict of “UAL unload” with “Crab Steering (All)” – both using shift-I
• I have made a compromise where UAL overrides the other bindings if they are either one of ‘TOGGLE_TIPSIDE’ or ‘CRABSTEERING_ALLWHEEL’. This seems reasonable, since we want to use our own tip-side command and you can still change the crab steering using toggle (ctrl-Y). If you change your key bindings so they don’t conflict, then nothing gets overridden anyway.
• Note: you will get some log entries like:
• UAL – key binding for UNLOAD_ALL failed to register
  removed conflicting action: CRABSTEERING_ALLWHEEL
• UAL – key binding for SELECT_ALL_MATERIALS failed to register
  conflicting action is: TOGGLE_CRABSTEERING
• This is to help with debugging any unforseen issues and I’ll remove it once it seems to be working.

V0.0.0.15

• It has been 2 days – so it must be time for a new release!
• Added other train carriages (see bug #84 )
• Handle configs and configSets (see bugs #21, #55)
• Some refactoring and extra debugging to help identify what is going on with the loading bugs

NOTE: if you already own the International CV Series truck, you will probably have to re-configure it in the shop or workshop. BUT at least now it will recognise the different size options for the cab.

V0.0.0.14

• Some QoL Changes
• Updated most of the language PRs
• Set horizontal loading default key to INSERT
• Added new messages for “trailer full” vs “item too big”
• Logic change when loading that should prevent bugs like #53
• Set moddesc version back to 92 because I am bored of answering bugs about the game not loading for people who have not updated yet..

V0.0.0.13

• Actually fixed the loading bugs.. (MAYBE..)
• Removed references to “partially” unloaded for now
• The real fix was to treat loading the same way as bale collection mode – since that does not rely on collision detection, which is currently not active

V0.0.0.12

• Fix horizontal mode broken in last release

V0.0.0.10

• Mostly UNTESTED lunch time release (I checked that it loaded into the game, but please test changes for me if you are able to)
• Added “*** LOAD AREAS MISSING ***” warning to help identify bad configurations. If you see that warning, please check (or delete) your mod settings file
• Shortened strings for bug #51
• Most recent configuration now restored when re-entering the shop
• Resetting (shift-ctrl-click) is only saved when the vehicle is bought, leased or changed
• Add “area full” flags for each loading area – related to e.g. bugs #9 and #60
• Only display warning messages for players who are in the current vehicle – see #59
• Display simple addExtraPrintText with loaded count for debugging in MP (will add more features over time)

V0.0.0.9

• Left some debugging prints in the last version by mistake!

V0.0.0.7

• TEMPORARY fix for an issue with loading on most vehicles
• I realise now that the current issue is because loading triggers cannot be resized
• I have made a temporary change that should improve loading for all previously existing vehicles on a savegame
• Newly purchased ones will likely still have issues

v0.0.0.6

• Added some checks to prevent #26
• I think that #26 was caused by missing settings, so should not happen anymore
• I will add further validation of settings before applying them in a future update

Version 0.0.0.4 for Farming Simulator 2025 (v1.3.x):

• Fixed/improved loading of round bales.

Important

• If it’s not working for you. Try remapping Ctrl+U, and it worked, so switch sides.
• It won’t be on any in game owned items already, you’ll have to sell to get a new trailer with the autoload enabled.
• Create a new save game and was able to load seed pallets directly from the dealer.

Also, other said:
Somehow, it worked for me even on multiplayer. Just bought new profi liner and got all my mushrroms loaded.
