Giants Editor FS19

The Giants Editor FS19 tool provides domain-specific planning and validation for modders using Giants Editor in Farming Simulator 19. It formalizes asset edits into defined inputs, constraints, and outputs to ensure engine compatibility before edits are applied. This reduces rework from missing nodes, incorrect scaling, or incompatible LOD configurations. The tool is intended for mod authors, asset integrators, QA staff, and build teams who prepare edits, verify configurations, and coordinate across departments.
It codifies core inputs such as asset_path, target_node, scale, and optional settings like LODs, collision, and material mappings. Users supply values in grouped fields; the tool computes derived constraints, performs consistency checks, and emits a manifest suitable for the editor workflow. Outputs include a validated_config, warnings, and a concise summary for downstream tooling.
A lightweight heuristic estimates memory footprint based on scale and LODs to help engineers assess impact before applying edits. It flags asset conflicts or missing metadata and provides remediation guidance. This approach emphasizes reproducibility, traceability, and non-destructive planning that supports multi-team collaboration and source-control friendly workflows.
Supported by FS19 conventions and localization-friendly practices, the tool aligns with standard asset pipelines and can be integrated into pre-edit validation stages to improve mod quality and approval cycles.
