Universal Autoload v0.4.5.8

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:

v0.4.5.8
Further reduce loaded trigger width
Width-ways loaded trigger margin increased by ~10%
Prevent possible error in debugging display when container type is unknown
Cleaned up some debugging texts (ATTEMPT RELOAD printed when AD or CP was active)

v0.4.5.7
Trigger boundaries were too small after the last change, causing some pallets to not be detected and also for the triggers to detect pallets as leaving the trigger when the vehicle is moving.
Reduced trigger delta offset (0.2 to 0.1)
Decreased loaded trigger width (to reduce chance of detecting items outside the trailer)
Increased loaded trigger length (to reduce chance that triggers detect objects leaving the trigger when moving)

v0.4.5.5
Increased the margin for triggers (should get less false detections of loaded items)
Reset loading area if loading is complete but nothing was loaded
Either way it is a fix for an issue where mods would not work immediately after buying.

v0.4.5.3
Prevent changes to saving settings after applying settings for the first time
Added extra message to remind users that saving settings does not apply immediately

v0.4.5.2
Simplify configuration selection
Only one "useConfigName" allowed per vehicle (will be locked in shop menu once selected)
Remove hard coded "useConfigName" (e.g. 'enterablePassenger' for International CV Series)
Remove "replaceConfigId" previously used as a workaround for missing configs
Also added missing strings to language files

v0.4.5.1 - Update to Global menu and more options for exporting settings
Select selectedConfigs and useConfigName (optional) in the shop UAL menu when saving
Add price per item to global options (experimental)
Update UK, RU and IT languages

v0.4.5.0
Added feature from #186
Can now add or remove loading areas (up to a maximum of three)
"Add" area will split the previous one into two
"Remove" will expand the previous area by the deleted width

Also:
KRONE default config now has rear loading and side loading
Possible loading logic improvement for issues like #288 and #290

v0.4.4.6
Should resolve
Now checks every time we open the menu in case the shop GUI has been recreated by another mod

v0.4.4.5
Possible fix/extra debugging for #288
Attempt to remove pallet from all vehicles when deleted (e.g. sold)
Prevent unloading bale collection mode bales while moving

v0.4.4.4
Wait until GUI is closed before updating F1 menu
Hopefully improved layer loading with mixed pallets

v0.4.4.2
Fixed error when loading wood that was introduced in v0.4.4.1
Some refactoring before planned change to loading logic
Reduced chances of pallets loading in positions where they can fall over in layer mode
BigBags shouldn't stack anymore in layer mode

v0.4.3.7
Hopefully an actual fix for #239
'-' is a special character for gsub, now using sub instead

v0.4.3.6
Hopefully a fix for #239
I think that CONFIG array was initialised on client but not server(Was working on my test setup because both installations share the same config directory)

v0.4.3.5
It seems that something to do with patch 1.5 means that sometimes self.rootNode is nil. I didn't think that could be possible, but here we are. This version should protect against this case producing any game breaking errors.Also a fix related to #239 if the config group is completely missing
Added extra debugging
Do not set as disabled for shop vehicle (should make it less confusing in shop when vehicles are not configured)
Remove "last shop vehicle" as no longer used for anything

v0.4.3.3
I think this should solve the issues with vehicle settings in MP
autoloadDisabled flag was not being sent back from the server

v0.4.3.0 - Added GLOBAL SETTINGS MENU
Added a global settings menu (more items to follow)
Open with a key binding from vehicle (default: SHIFT-CTRL-A)
I will try to move to the actual settings menu, but happy just to get it working for now..
Fixed an issue where autoloadDisabled was not restored from settings

v0.4.2.7
I didn't spot that VehiclePropertyState.MISSION was a thing!
Disable autoload when a vehicle does not have a saved configuration
Remove *** LOAD AREAS MISSING *** F1 menu warning text (replace with log file message instead)
Add some extra protection against missing load areas
Add a "log" static collection mode for log trailers

v0.4.2.5
A bit of a fudge for #257
This will make PREFABWALLS load for now, but needs fixing properly later..
Also added a whole load of language PRs (that took me about 90 minutes!!)

v0.4.2.4
Static collection mode working again in MP
Stupid mistake. Didn't use find replace in all files.
Added a fix for layer loading that was broken by change.
Layer loading is more rigid about keeping to a single layer height now, so may not work as well with mixed loads

v0.4.2.0
Similar to Bale Collection Mode - we can now enable "collection" mode and it will load pallets without pressing "R"
Automatic tension belt behaviour should be improved (only restrapping if not already strapped)
Increased number of items in F1 menu (see #200) - let me know if it helps or causes new issues.
Changed implementation of fix for #43 - should improve loading of pallets when sizes do not match perfectly

v0.4.1.3
Don't mind me, just adding a few more versions for the scraping sites to scrape..
Fix issue in shop when loading vehicles with cranes
Add delta value when calculating if a new pallet is longer than the previous (improve packing)
Fixed issue where log trailers would stop loading before full (#238)
Changed some default configurations to prevent overlap with the trailer

v0.4.1.0
Attempt to reduce CPU usage
moved main UAL calculations to onUpdateTick instead of on Update
reduced loading delay per object from 200ms to 150ms

v0.4.0.0 - COLLISION DETECTION IS WORKING AGAIN!
I have finally got the collision detection to work again, so now we have:
Restored pallet/bale loading functions from FS22 (fill in missing gaps)
Restored log loading function from FS22 (drop from above)
Added visual feedback of load area collision when editing size/position in the shop (red = collision, blue = empty)

NOTES:
As per usual with major version increases, there is an increased chance of new bugs. I have reverted some of the changes I made to compensate for not using the collision detection (overlapBox), so it is quite likely that I missed some changes and while I have a few test scenarios in different savegames that all passed, I cannot test every possibility myself.
If you reset the area in the shop (shift-ctrl-middle click) then the default zone should now be lifted up until it doens't collide with the base. I will work on using these kind of tricks to do better at the default detection algorithim (for log trailers especially) in future releases.

v0.3.3.1
Should now load bales (and hopefully logs) from missions. Untested.

v0.3.3.0
Handle partially full pallets (see e.g. #184 and #209)
Improve handling of dynamically mounted items
Don't force enable workshop button anymore
Note: There is no longer any need to enable workshop button (without changes) since there is now a dedicated button to save configs directly. We can still update a vehicle from the workshop by changing some item (e.g. numberplate)

v0.3.2.8
I had a thought that it is probably better call the original function, just in case it does something other than process commands. I'm not sure it would ever matter, since this only handles the UAL open menu action.

v0.3.2.6
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
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?
Hopefully I didn't break anything this time...

V0.3.2.1
Fix for #182
Sorry, I forgot to test the shop as well as the workshop!

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

v0.3.0.0
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

v0.2.1.0
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.
