Farming Simulator 22 (FS22) DensityMapHeightUpdater error.

Code: Select all

2022-12-09 21:06 Error: Trying to set DensityMapHeightUpdater collision map with invalid size (536870912 vs 134217728)
2022-12-09 21:06   Warning: No tip collision map defined. Creating empty tip placement collision map.

This error comes from wrong size tipColInfoLayer.grle and infoLayer_tipCollisionGenerated.grle image files.

There are NO one set of pixel resolutions for these GRLE images, you cannot say it has to be THIS or it has to be THAT, it depends on the size of your terrain.

PMC RedWhiteBlue 10km terrain fix: tipColInfoLayer.grle and infoLayer_tipCollisionGenerated.grle were 16384 res, so I converted them to PNG, resized them DOWN to 8192 and then GE re-saved the project to create new GRLE's.

For terrains which infoLayer files are 32768 resolution, only infoLayer_tipCollisionGenerated needs to be 16384 res.

After being away from Farming Simulator 22 (FS22) editing for 14 months I launched the editing tools just few hours ago.

Created brand new 14.3km x 14.3km terrain which gave me the errors reported in first post of this topic. I was lost, had lost my touch, that bleeding edge of editing knowledge during the absence of over one year, so had to dig deep into depths of my mind in search for answers

It took me probably close to ten attempts of various kind before I finally found the right combination of GDM and GRLE image pixel resolutions which fixes the above issue.

Instead of just fixing it and moving on, I'll share the information in great detail, maybe it helps someone out there or maybe even me after next time being away from editing tools for year or more
