Welcome,

First, a short introducement. I'm Derk, I'm 20 years old and I study computer science. I've played Farming Simulator all my life, and my main passion is making/converting mods. 

This is the WIP thread for the Kaweco 6000 liter tank. It spreads manure, obviously. The model and version from FS15 are from a few authors:

• Model: Interfan (Basten)
• Model improvements: JD7530-Chris
• Textures: JD7530-Chris

You can browse through the pictures there, it looks pretty much the same. The only appreance difference will be the lights, as the lighting system has undergone a massive revamp. 

Basically, a lot is already fixed. Partially due to the Giants Editor cloud conversion service. Huge props to Giants for introducing this, it saves a lot of time. 

A few items still in progress:

• Lighting (corona's are done, but the actualy beam is not)
• Clipping of the support wheel (sometimes glitches under the map)
• Manure spraying animations/particles (most likely going to use the FS15 ones from Giant)
• Coupling point and PTO attachement are still off for some reason (should be an easy fix)

Basically the rest is done. It already spreads manure, and can load manure like it should. The problem is that it doesn't show the animation for spraying, so it's hard to see it actually does something. 

I'm hoping to fix the mod within the next few weeks, I have a very busy schedule (school & work) so expect some delays. 

I would appreciate some feedback, maybe a few tips from other developers that have already tackled the lighting (it seems quite hard).

See ya around!
