Auto Bale Wrapper V1.1.8.0

Auto Bale Wrapper provides an AI helper for towed, self-loading bale wrappers. Attach the wrapper and press start; the helper finds all unwrapped bales on the field, wraps them and stops when everything is done.

Features

• Finds all unwrapped bales on the field, including round and square bales, and skips wrapped ones
• Plans its own paths around bales, trees and obstacles and stays on the field
• Dynamic speed: fast on straights, slower in curves and brakes late before the bale
• Obstacle sensor for vehicles, players and objects
• Several helpers on one field share the bales automatically
• Drop spot on the map: choose a spot and direction, and the bales are put there in a neat row
• Optional: drop bales at the field edge
• Statistics: bales, working time and driver wage, in total and per field
• AutoDrive hand-over: starts automatically when AutoDrive arrives at the field
• Adjustable driver wage (0-100 %), 6 HUD colors and automatic lights
• Modern, movable HUD with progress ring
• Multiplayer and dedicated server ready

Controls

Ctrl+J start/stop
Ctrl+L mouse cursor
Ctrl+K show/hide HUD
(changeable in the controls menu)

REQUIREMENTS: No other mods needed. AutoDrive is optional. In multiplayer, all players need the mod.

Changelog

• V1.1.8.0
  New:Improved:Fixed:
  • Detour: if a bale can only be reached the long way round, such as around a pond, ditch or group of trees, the helper finds a way around it and drives it without stopping
  • Water and ditches next to the field are detected and never driven through
  • Adjustable curve speed in the settings, default 14 km/h, was 11 km/h
  • Optional: Autodrive von @Iwan1803 https://www.fs25modhub.com/autodrive-v1-0-0-0/
  • The helper always takes the nearest bale, with no more driving across the field
  • With several helpers, each one prefers the bales closest to it
  • If there is no room to reverse, the helper pulls forward a bit and searches again
  • Smoother braking before curves
  • Bales far away on large fields, over 400 m, were not found and left behind
  • After a detour, bales were wrongly counted as unreachable
• V1.1.2.0
  1.0.12.0
  • New: The rig is locked while reversing, so the wrapper can no longer jackknife
  • New: The helper steers against jackknifing and straightens the rig before reversing
  • New: When starting next to the field, for example after AutoDrive hand-over, the helper may cross the field edge to get onto the field
• V1.0.9.0
  • Improved: Before reporting “bales not reachable”, the helper now makes up to 3 completely new attempts, with a short pause, forgetting failed attempts and temporary obstacles, so no more manual restart is needed
  • New: When reversing, the helper first straightens the rig if needed and locks the hitch, so the tractor can no longer jackknife into its own wrapper
  • New: Reversing stops automatically if the rig starts to jackknife
