as of FS22_aPalletAutoLoader 1.7.1.1 “unloading behind” is supported
waiting time also when loading pallets via AutoLoad at loading point #431

automatic refueling only where manual refueling is possible (no AIO silos) #485
When refueling, all supported fuels should be filled up, f.e. DEF
characters “,;” in folder names are converted to “_” #516
new trailer variants “semitrailerCar” can not drive backwards #510
added translations for color selection, list in FS22 blue
vehicle flashes when reversing (warning lights, can be set in options) #236

Not fixed or currently not solvable:

[Dedi-Server] problems with vanilla ball cart #538

New:

menu controllable with controller and keyboard #292
debug marker 9_ shows possible errors, but may actually be none
CP can hand over the stone collector to AD (pickup&delivery) #421
separation of map and user settings (different files in the savegame folder) #524
improvement collision boxes (new vehicle measurement) #536

In FS22, vehicles are mostly defined larger (in XML) than they actually are.
With AD, this leads to vehicles on roads with a small (lateral) distance being recognized as a collision even though there would still be sufficient space between them.
To avoid this, the collision to the front, rear, left and right is determined for all parts belonging to the vehicle.
For this purpose, all attachments of the complete combination are measured when entering a vehicle, starting AD or after being folded by AD (mixtures of unmeasured and measured vehicles are normal and not a fault).
Only vehicles, trailers and attachments that do not have parts with rotation around the vertical axis are measured.
For example, trailers with turntable have the movable bogie with rotation around the vertical axis and this can also stand “twisted”.
If a measurement were to be made now, the external collision would be the turned bogie with drawbar, which is much “wider” compared to the trailer just being towed.
Here may now come the objection “But you can also measure when the trailer is at some point straight”, save, load etc.. -> more complicated always goes…!
Currently, 20 cm of “safety clearance” is still added around the outside.

CP uses AD for refueling, repair and parking #351, #433, #494 & #519

AD drives refueling and repair if requested by CP, but settings of CP have priority.
Attention: harvesters are also sent for repair and refueling incl. the current attachments!
In the “Pickup / Delivery” mode with CP field work, the vehicle combination is unloaded at the end of work before parking, if “Park at end” is activated in AD.
AD is only activated in sensible modes, if wrong mode is selected -> notification.
Example: Driving is not useful for e.g. seed drills, but can be used for “ready message”.

Additions

Added Update check… Editor will now check github for new versions on startup and display a update message.

Added automatic map image downloads, if no matching mapimage can be found during the config load stage it will
connect to my other github repository (https://github.com/KillBait/AutoDrive_MapImages) and check if the
image is available, if so, it will download it and place it in the mapimages folder to re-use.

Added terrain heightmap intergration…. Some caveats apply

(1) The terrain heightmap (terrain.heightmap.png) must be in the same folder as the config your loading,
this is standard for all savegame slot folders.

(2) The height placement will not be exactly level with the ingame terrain, but it should be close, this
is due to the terrain heightmap resolution being limited to 2 meters per pixel, whereas ingame terrain
is at a much higher resolution. It is strongly recommended you have the node position above the vehicle
ingame to compensate for the difference and make sure they are visible.

–TECHNICAL EXPLINATION–
The heightmap stores the terrain Y value as a integer ranging from 0 – 255, the editor will use this
integer value as a Y value for nodes, but nodes store their x,y,z in a double precision value with many
decimal places. Nodes can be moved in 0.001 incriments, so, in game terrain could be at (for example)
123.684 and the heightmap value is 123 or 122.

(3) It cannot account for meshes within the map, so nodes placed over where a bridge (for example) would be,
will still be on the ground, you will have to manually move them ingame to the correct height.
I cannot correct for this issue, it’s a known limitation, but much better than the original solution

(4) If no height map was loaded, adding nodes will revert to the old behaviour of placing nodes at
one Y level

Added a menu item ‘Fix Nodes Height’, it will scan all nodes and fix the height to the correct values
(if a heightmap was loaded)

AutoDriveEditor v0.50.1

Potential fix for blank FileChooser
