Giants TestRunner Command Line Testing Tool

[Snake Man]

Giants TestRunner v0.8.7 has been released for Farming Simulator 22 (FS22). This is a command line tool to test unpacked MOD directories.

Please note that this is a hardcore tester, it is far more harsher than it needs to be because conzole requirements. If your lets say large terrain gets errors with this... it could be that there is nothing wrong with your terrain but it just doesn't comply with giants stupid strict rules which prefer conzole users and giants modhub usage.

For example in FS19 I believe if you used giants building models with textures pointing to $data/ the FS19 testrunner gave you an error, those type buildings in a terrain were not accepted to giants modhub, no idea if this is still the case in FS22, but this is what I mean by stupid rules.

On average through, this is excellent tool to catch several issues that slipped by your own testing, just keep in mind the big picture.
