    Hello FBM forum members,

    This is my first post here on this quality page, I can see you are very active in modder life :) I'm a modder, too mainly in trucks and communal mods. But now I would like to ask for your help in creating of realistic, functional front attacher part for trucks in FS19. I have already made the model of this part, now all I have to program the XML file. I started that, but in the LOG file I found this mesage: "BottomArm translation of attacherJoint 'vehicle.attacherJoints.attacherJointConfigurations.attacherJointConfiguration(0).attacherJoint(1)' is not 0/0/0!"

    Have you any idea how can I solve this problem?

    I attach a pair of photos about this part.

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Best regards,

    Gabor

    First of all, I would like to welcome you to our site and also congratulate you to your impressive work.

    Second, I have to advice you to our rules, that prohibit the upload of pictures to our server in normal threads. Please upload them to a picture hoster and paste a link to your thread. The reason for this is, that this can quickly psuh our server to a limit, since we have quiete many threads and theoreticly any user could attach a picture to his post. That's why tis is not allowed, in general. Please edit you post accordingly.

    Third, I think, you should check this part of your XML:

    <attacherJoint node="attacherJointBack" lowerRotationOffset="-1.5" upperRotationOffset="-1.5" moveTime="2.5" comboTime="1">

    <distanceToGround lower="0.36" upper="1.07" />

    <rotationNode node="attacherJointBackRot" lowerRotation="-11 0 0" upperRotation="30 0 0" />

    <rotationNode2 node="attacherJointBackRot2" />

    <bottomArm rotationNode="attacherJointBackArmBottom" translationNode="attacherJointBackArmBottomLink" referenceNode="referencePointBackBottom" zScale="-1" startRotation="-10 0 0" />

    <topArm baseNode="attacherJointBackArmTop" filename="$data/shared/assets/upperLinks/walterscheid03.i3d" zScale="-1" color="SHARED_GREY5" />

    <schema position="1 0" rotation="0" invertX="false" />

    <objectChange node="trailerAttacherNode" visibilityActive="false" visibilityInactive="true" />

    <objectChange node="trailerLowNode" visibilityActive="false" visibilityInactive="true" />

    </attacherJoint>

    and then look in the GE if the coloured Part has all translation-values set to 0

    Hello Sarge,

    Ohh thank you to inform me about the rules, I'm sorry, I will upload pictures to an external page in the future. And thank you for your good words and help! :) I will try to fix it as you told me, and I will write here if it is solved, or not.

    Regards,

    Gabor from Hungary

    Hi Sarge!

    I managed to solve that problem, but there were new difficulties that I can't solve unfortunately alone. Maybe I have the opportunity to contact you on Facebook? I would be very happy if I could send you this mod to check it. Unfortunately, I don’t have help, and this front attacher consol is more complicated than I thought, as it has a lot of dependent, but moving parts (like hydraulic pipes, arms) that I can’t adjust. If we solved this console together, I would be the happiest. After that, I can set it up on my other truck mods alone.

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards,

    Gabor

    Hello pastig, I don't have a Facebook account, so you won't find me there.

    But I have an advie for you, check out this mod:

    This one is equiped with a hitch that has a similar layout as your attacher. So probably you can copy some of the entrys in the xml.
