hdrp cameras are very expensive

#

i'll apply the same optimisations on my truck to the overhaul of the hauler

cloud veldt
#

is this fps drop alleviated when you turn the mirror config off?

odd niche
#

but i'll check it out for sure 👍

cloud veldt
#

i nerfed the hdrp camera mirrors in multiple ways but i feel like it may be inevitable that they cause lag

humble geyser
humble geyser
#

it's something i will also apply to the Hauler

#

they also only render one after another

#

rather than at the same time

humble geyser
#

i have a rough idea on how to "mostly" handle host player on vehicle collisions that might fix some issues with the host and like, being in the cab for example

#

going to give it a shot, shouldn't be too hacky

humble geyser
#

oh yeah, seems like its working

#

host can't exactly push the truck anymore

#

the backdoor bug might require something else though

humble geyser
#

cracked windshield mat

#

doing code cleanup and model cleanup

#

so ignore the missing roof lmao

cobalt crane
#

gem alert

humble geyser
golden meteor
#

Coal alert

humble geyser
#

so i somehow made it that inserting the key into the ignition crashes the game

#

hmmmmmmmm

indigo coyote
#

transfers all energy to the vehicle

humble geyser
#

okay fixed that one, lmao

humble geyser
#

muh mirrors vanished

#

i've also finally added the ability to leave the middle passenger seat from either the drivers side or passenger side

humble geyser
#

wait no thats a lie i do know why

remote raft
odd niche
humble geyser
#

tweaked the glass cracked mat slightly

#

also got it to work properly ingame

#

so that's neat

#

maybe it doesn't look as good as i had hoped

humble geyser
#

might have something better in a mo' :p

north pine
#

I didnt even noticed it till i read what you said

#

Should prob be way more noticeable

#

Even if its not as realistic

#

Or maybe could have different levels of broken??

#

If thats even possible

humble geyser
humble geyser
#

i just want it so that the windshield doesn't vanish into thin air

#

because

  1. i like having the windshield
  2. car windshields are laminated irl
north pine
#

Fair

#

Your car

#

One day will see the light of day 🙏

humble geyser
#

one day

#

i haven't had to really fix, well, anything recently

#

had a 4hr+ play session with my group a few nights ago, and nothing bad came up with the truck

#

so i was happy

#

i did address the host player vehicle physics jank stuff, but that was something i wasnt sure on how to fix before

#

but my solution is pretty solid

#

oh, i know one thing i need to do is in regards to the forces applied to players riding on the truck

#

much better me thinks

humble geyser
#

maybe i could have

#

shattered windshield --> windshield completely breaks/disappears

#

something basic

#

doesn't have to be realistic I guess

#

however as a consequence for it disappearing completely I might make it so giants and old birds can grab you

#

I think that's reasonable punishment for being too fast :3

humble geyser
#

friend suggested that the heater should be ineffective too, so I'll definitely do that too

odd niche
#

this looks peak honestly, the work you put into this truck really shows everytime i check back on the thread

humble geyser
#
  • added windshield shattering then windshield breaking entirely if in a serious collision again (with the addition of giants and old birds being able to grab you if its broken entirely), heater is also ineffective with a missing windshield
  • fixed windshield break sound never playing
humble geyser
#

oh, new issue, rear door colliders well, dont stop players going through them

#

should be easy to fix, i think i know what it is

humble geyser
#

feexed

humble geyser
#

hopefully fixed some logic with the fox protection 🥴
as far as i can tell, the fox is only ever owned by the host, which meant my protection only worked on the host, woopsies

#

i had a few ideas on how to go about it, i've settled for checking closest point with a cooldown interval of 0.25

#

also the giant kiwi can also now damage you in the van if the windshield is broken, joyous

humble geyser
#

okay no the fox protection is COMPLETELY broken

humble geyser
#

okay, imperium was breaking it

#

and scratch the uh, closest point thing, i have another idea in mind

visual nest
#

Hey @humble geyser how goes the mod?

#

Any chance its test-ready yet?

humble geyser
humble geyser
#

i need to do some compatibility stuff for the most part now

#

I haven't touched it today tbh, been out the house pretty much all day today; college, fixing a broken speaker wire on my car (all the door card had to come out and shit), and I had some other shit to do

#

I've only really just got home

#

how’s that hauler revamp going 👀

arctic ocean
#

what... it's liberalfucker12...

#

hai...

humble geyser
humble geyser
#

currently working on getting the Hauler "somewhat working" ingame, somewhat implemented the drivers seat and some networking stuff

#

still need to figure out if i can limit the suspension bump stop force going beserk, since it can send the truck really skyhigh

#

not ideal

#

the radio also works because that's just obligatory

cold dune
#

self destruct button

humble geyser
#

i think i worked out a half decent solution for suspension bump stops

#

its not as springy as i would of hoped, but it should work for gameplay

#

it seems to counteract penetration force from the wheel going into the ground pretty well

#

but its not overly harsh

#

although i don't want to speak too soon and find out that a small bump will cause it to skyrocket into the air

cold dune
#

i had an idea

#

normal levels of suspension

humble geyser
#

the american patriot special

humble geyser
#

well, we're getting somewhere, maybe

#

it's looking nice, though

#

the front seats need moving back since the player otherwise sits way too far forward lol

#

the oxygen tanks take up alotta space, forgot about that tbh

#

the truck also hasn't immediately flown into space from breathing on it, so i'd say it's already an improvement over the current one physics wise

#

i do need to adjust the tyre grip since it feels way too loose in the rear end

#

it doesn't feel like it's putting power down properly

fast flower
#

just theoretically

#

is it a thing that could even be done

flint prawn
#

I think DawnLib was looking into that for vehicles

#

idk if it was done/how it would work

fast flower
#

if in this case we wanted to keep them both on the same side

humble geyser
#

but currently i'm coding this as a vehicle for LLL

#

maybe in the future i'll switch this over

humble geyser
#

"stations" dawnlib calls them

fast flower
#

or getting in the way

humble geyser
#

i have no idea

fast flower
#

id work on like

#

one of the ship mods

#

especially wider

prime canyon
#

maybe have a magnet on top?

humble geyser
#

and how on earth would you get the car up and down

prime canyon
#

cruiser boost 👍

humble geyser
#

the hauler can't fly

#

you can't use turbo boost in the hauler

fast flower
humble geyser
#

and not every custom vehicle will have boost

prime canyon
#

thats why the hauler is on the side and the cruiser is on top

fast flower
#

cruiser pushed beck closer to the back of the ship

humble geyser
#

anyways this sort of stuff is not something i'm going to be looking into right now

fast flower
#

that lets you select

#

which vehicle

humble geyser
#

currently the hauler inherits VehicleController so it kinda has to use the base game magnet

humble geyser
fast flower
humble geyser
#

it's not the most realistic but it's probably the best for gameplay and is more "simpler" to implement

fast flower
#

realistic in terms of

humble geyser
#

i also thought that any vehicles you select in the garage could be delivered by dropship at no cost

fast flower
#

actually getting made

humble geyser
#

as for storing a vehicle, idk, maybe just leave it behind at gordion or the terminal just despawns it

fast flower
#

just instantly swaps to the next one

#

when you press the button

humble geyser
#

if i convert the hauler to dawnlib then yes it will come with its own "magnet" station and you will be able to have a cruiser and a hauler

#

but for now its just one or the other

prime canyon
#

fear not i have a solution

#

behold

#

the vehicle windmill of terror and despair

Imagine a version of the cruiser that has like a mini Ferris wheel on the back. Each bucket holds like one 2 handed scrap or like 2 - 5 (I would choose 3) one handed scrap.

#

feeling good, got some anti-slide slip implemented into the wheel (so it doesn't slowly slide down cliffs when parked)

#

well, do need to test this a bit further

before i speak too soon

alwaes worching.....................................

humble geyser
#

enjoy

#

any issues let me know!!

#

forgot to mention betteremotes is obviously incompatible

cold dune
#

plink is advanced company incompatible

humble geyser
#

we don't speak of that name round here

#

🥴

#

basically most mods that touch the vanilla cc + betteremotes will not work with this masterpiece

slim quail
#

mmmmm more tweak mod

humble geyser
#

it replaces the vanilla ccs prefab + clipboard manual

slim quail
#

what do these two do

humble geyser
#

fix untaggables is from cruiserimproved, but it just basically prevents an interact prompt from "ghosting"/carrying over untagged colliders

#

resizing the players animator hash is used when syncing the players animator, uh, i forgot the name, like the list/order

#

one of my vehicles had more layers than the normal animator

#

so it just broke without that

slim quail
#

oh so it prevents animation desync or something

humble geyser
#

basically

#

i don't even use that system anymore, but it's just there, just incase

slim quail
#

cool

humble geyser
#

i was debating whether to put proper photos in the description, but tbh i just don't see the point

#

it looks almost identical to a normal company cruiser

#

you kinda just get what it says in the title

odd niche
humble geyser
#

the ultimate cruiser driver torture method

#

company approved

#

this thing is an absolute hunking unit

#

prepare for death

#

and lots of it

odd niche
#

I hope this genuinely is the same cruiser as v55 though

humble geyser
#

it's as close as you'll get in present day

#

it drives basically exactly the same

#

its an unstable mess

#

there are some slight differences (that i made on my own accord)

#

that i feel fit with the overall theme of this vehicle

odd niche
#

Such as?

#

(please not the right side being the driver side)

humble geyser
#

the front wheels match the steering wheels full animation, which means the car feels heavier to steer

#

there is a right hand drive variant

#

its just random chance whether you get it

#

thats one of the few things that "isnt pure v55"

humble geyser
#

but its a fun gimmick and "doesnt feel too out of line" imo

#

its just flipping round assets, for the most part

humble geyser
#

the chance is seeded, so it genuinely just is random

odd niche
#

Just like in real life

humble geyser
#

eh, not entirely

odd niche
#

"dude this is just like team fortress 2"

humble geyser
#

most vehicles you buy in your country will probably have the wheel on the usual side your country drives on

#

unless you're buying say, an import car

#

(i.e. JDM in a left hand country)

#

or USDM in a right hand country

#

etc etc

odd niche
#

Oh boy i sure do hope my car isn't british

#

The car

humble geyser
#

the right hand drive cruiser drives exactly the same as the left hand one

humble geyser
#

yes

#

the physics are unchanged between the two

#

lol

#

it'll "just feel weird" because you're obviously so used to left hand

odd niche
#

Well that's true

humble geyser
#

and it's not just lethal company, a vast majority of videogames with vehicles are left hand drive

#

since thats the most common type

humble geyser
#

it has come through on Gale by the look of it :3

fast flower
humble geyser
#

you can grab it as a player, it has a utility which might be handy for devs (may expand upon later); it is also a dependancy of my stuff

#

up to you

fast flower
#

like one of the many fix mods from buttery

#

for example

humble geyser
#

maybe maybe not

#

they're kinda small

#

i just didn't feel like adding them into each seperate vehicle

fast flower
#

hm

humble geyser
#

these aren't all "fixes"

#

some are just "tweaks"

#

i.e. the terminal node text

north pine
#

omg scandal you finally released a mod!!!! so happy! congrats :3

humble geyser
humble geyser
# humble geyser maybe maybe not

the external forces thing should prevent being catapulted sometimes when leaving a vehicle, because you built up an enormous amount of force and it never decays when in a special animation

#

anything else i feel that could be useful elsewhere, i'll chuck into this mod

#

or if its something that would otherwise just be copy pasted from mod to mod

#

on another note, i'm happy i finally released misery upon the world, in the form of a red truck

#

it's really safe, i promise <3

#

it should be mostly "bug free"

#

some jank is intentional, though

#

the cruiser, as intended, as it should have always been 🥴

#

i'll be honest i kind of forgot to test my updated player zone system, so i'm hoping that isn't problematic atm

#

i'll push a patch out as soon as i can

#

okay, yeah, i see some potential flaws with this, will be easy to rectify though

humble geyser
#

okay, this is making no sense

#

kay, fixed the main truck zone

#

but the storage zone is being

#

difficult

#

wonder if i messed up the layers

#

wonder if the missing rigidbody had any part in it

#

hmmm

#

ya

#

fixed it

#

pushed 1.0.1 out which fixes some serious issues with the player zone stuff

olive zealot
#

YES

#

YESS

#

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

#

FUCK FUCK FUCK

#

What issues does compatibility between these three cause?

#

We have all sorts of "shielding" for the Cruiser off

humble geyser
# olive zealot FUCK FUCK FUCK

cruiserimproved breaks the cruiser spawning with this mod as it tries to setup networking on mine and well, just explodes

#

cruiseradditions for the most part flatout wont even work properly and alot of transforms will be off since i fixed the scale of mine

#

if you're downloading the v55 cruiser, then you shouldn't be praying that improvement mods work with it lol

#

its meant to be a literal piece of garbage on wheels

#

my v55 cruiser completely replaces the normal one with an updated model and it runs its own seperate controller, so most functions patched by these mods will just never work

#

but it still calls Base.Awake for compat reasons, which means any mods like CI or CA patching Awake will try to run shit on mine

#

since the ID is still zero

#

so it assumes "vanilla cruiser"

humble geyser
#

like for example it has my improved player and vehicle interactions so the host can't launch the vehicle from funny angles

#

i improved enemy protection in the back and added protection from more enemies

#

although being on the outside of the truck or in the cab makes you extremely vulnerable

#

apart from certain enemies like maskeds (since it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that they can grab you imo, mainly when you're moving and they clip through the truck, thats just bs!)

#

i also fixed a bunch of bugs that the normal cruiser otherwise had

#

though, some ""bugs"" have been left in intentionally as imo they're just core to the "cruiser experience"

#

there's quite a bit going on under the hood of this vehicle

olive zealot
humble geyser
#

yes

#

i fixed every single little visual issue with the model

#

every

#

single little one

olive zealot
#

I presume it's not client-side, right?

humble geyser
#

correct

#

it has custom networking as well

#

so i couldn't really make it client side

olive zealot
#

We'll give this little crock of shit a roll to see whether I should abandon Additions/Improved for it

humble geyser
#

lol, that's very subjective

#

if you enjoy a challenge, this might be for you

#

just don't be mad when you die in some freak accident with it

#

the current day cruiser with any improvement mods is just insanely overpowered and so easy to use

#

this is more "down to earth" and "back to basics"

olive zealot
#

Zeekerss really fucked up making its hull more durable

#

We're mainly interested in the mod so you can't shoot to late-game so easily with a reliable source of transportation to get DAISY or Ms. Cruiser (Really overpowered gals) on like, the second quota

humble geyser
#

i don't know how much you know about the v55 cruiser in its "purest" form (when it first came out) but this thing is extremely fragile and will kill you very quickly

#

i also restored little functionality like trees damaging the car

olive zealot
#

We loved v55 Cruiser

humble geyser
#

since that was nuked in v70

olive zealot
#

We were adamant defenders of it

humble geyser
#

i love the v55 cruiser lmao

olive zealot
humble geyser
#

i love a good challenge

olive zealot
#

So we were just paranoid for nothing Ig

humble geyser
#

before, they did

#

i did account for snowmen though since they use the same system

#

snowmen won't damage it

#

trees will

#

i'm not that evil!

olive zealot
#

It'll patch correct if spawned with Imperium, right

humble geyser
#

imperium won't spawn the right one

#

you can buy it from the dropship though and it'll be fine even w/ imperium

#

some other things about this cruiser:

breaking the windshield while sat in the cab will instakill, unlike v56+ where it just damages you
you cannot boost, jump, fly etc
you cannot heal it with weedkiller
durability is worse (ofc)

i DID restore the instakill enemies functionality, but made an exception for the sapsucker which'll be dealt 12 damage like current day

#

you can heal it, by taking it into orbit

#

lol

olive zealot
humble geyser
#

i also restored small stuff like the original service manual photos

olive zealot
#

We'll buy it and test it on our labrat moon (Offense)

humble geyser
#

before it was plastered with weedkiller on the last page

#

alr

#

the v55 cruiser funnily enough has much better grip than 56+

#

like

#

stupidly better

#

its unstable at low speeds

olive zealot
#

Is it properly $400 btw

humble geyser
#

yes

olive zealot
#

Not like, $370

#

Nice

humble geyser
#

i also made weedkiller 60 credits because i'm mean

#

yesfox is a dependancy because, uh, you wouldn't have a use for weedkiller otherwise, but you can disable it if you want, its not a hard dependency

humble geyser
#

i just felt like it

olive zealot
#

We play with the kidnapper fox

humble geyser
#

my front wheels visually match the steering wheels full rotation, which makes it feel "heavier to steer"

olive zealot
#

Should be $30 tbh considering how much of it is required to fight a population of vain shrouds

#

It's whatever though Ig

humble geyser
#

i personally like this, you keep the full steering animation and shit, and it feels like a zeekerss thing to do

#

its meant to be "difficult to control"

cold dune
humble geyser
#

and having less control over the steering adds to the chaos

cold dune
#

pump operated

olive zealot
#

Is

#

this normal

humble geyser
#

are you using any emote mods

cold dune
#

Code give birth

humble geyser
#

like betteremotes

cold dune
#

cactoo

olive zealot
#

Yes

humble geyser
#

betteremotes breaks custom aims

olive zealot
#

How the fuck does that conflict with a Cruiser mod

humble geyser
#

you got a different variant of the cruiser 😉

#

you'll have to look closer at that one you got delivered

humble geyser
#

i had to fix some visual issues on the base animations

#

cuz they bothered me

humble geyser
olive zealot
#

Oh, do Cruisers not have boost anymore?

humble geyser
#

emote mods like toomanyemotes should work fine since they use an entirely different method

#

mhm

#

just like v55

#

that page is directly from my rip of v55

olive zealot
#

I see

humble geyser
#

i pay special attention to the small things

#

i think i have a problem

#

oh fun fact i animated the small vertical column buttons

olive zealot
#

I don't see anything different

humble geyser
#

completely useless fun fact

#

that's kinda the point

humble geyser
#

the point is to keep it as vanilla looking as possible

#

but trust me i fixed a shit ton of visual problems

#

if you get up and close and start inspecting closely you'd start to notice lol

olive zealot
#

Why's it on this side? Is this rare?

humble geyser
#

its just a seeded chance

#

i added it as a gimmick

#

i wanted a gimmick to add that wouldn't be "wildly out of place"

#

and i remembered a suggestion ages ago in the zeekcord of someone saying it should be a chance that the cruiser comes as right hand drive

#

so i implemented it

#

custom animations and all

#

ejector seat works for the other seat as well lol

olive zealot
#

Cute

#

Ig we'll sacrifice BetterEmotes for this

#

Gonna suck though since we're losing on a lot of social value

humble geyser
#

try use emote mods that use emoteapi

#

or whatever its called

#

lethalemotesapi

olive zealot
humble geyser
#

yes

#

any mods that use that should work just fine

olive zealot
#

Does that fix the issue?

#

Oh

humble geyser
#

since they don't replace the animator

#

no just using that with BE wont "fix it"

#

BE needs to fix their implementation or move over to lethalemotesapi

#

atleast, anything using LEAPI should work, i haven't uh, tested, but from what i've heard about the implementation it doesn't interfere with the players actual animator

#

i wish BE didn't break other mods, because i'd use it otherwise

#

i've tried to make my vehicles animations as compatible with mods that have custom anims (i.e. piggys)

#

with my order of execution

#

so that it restores the correct animator, etc

humble geyser
#

did 1.0.1 come through on your mod manager yet

olive zealot
#

Nope

humble geyser
#

1.0.1 has a pretty major hotfix for the "vehicle zones" that i use for various things like enemy protection

#

ic

humble geyser
#

one covers the whole truck and one is the storage compartment

#

in vanilla, protection extends for the whole truck

#

which is why you're mostly invincible minus certain conditions

#

and it only works if the truck isn't too tilted

#

on mine, protection in the back always works regardless of angle

olive zealot
#

Ah, are you able to be grabbed out a truck properly then?

humble geyser
#

and only the back is protected with the door shut

olive zealot
#

Does that mean old birds will also see you driving a truck?

humble geyser
#

nah

#

thats an entirely seperate issue

olive zealot
#

Ah

humble geyser
#

and not an easily fixable one

#

it requires messing with their line of sight mechanics

olive zealot
#

Can u push destroyed cars as well

humble geyser
#

yes

olive zealot
#

Alr

humble geyser
#

i don't remember if i disable attaching it to the magnet with it destroyed

#

i think i did

olive zealot
#

I presume the Cruiser doesn't have this fix

humble geyser
#

although i might re-enable it and save the wrecked state lmao

#

uhhhhhh

#

dont think so

olive zealot
#

Tryna make my client-side modpack's cruiser as similar as to yours

humble geyser
#

lol

#

that would be easy to implement

#

it just wraps the "audible noise" from collisions in ignitionStarted

olive zealot
#

THIS would be nice though at least

#

Since you can already scan the jetpack

humble geyser
#

you can scan the jetpack?

olive zealot
#

Yea

humble geyser
#

anyways yes a scan node would be nice, but i'm being careful with what i do

#

i mean, i like authenticity, but i'm willing to compromise in some areas i guess

#

i'll "think about it"

#

my other trucks have scan nodes

#

just not this one

olive zealot
#

Alr

#

Does your Cruiser have any of these

humble geyser
#

standing key no

olive zealot
#

Besides scan while seated

#

Because Buttery Fixes will fix that no matter what

humble geyser
#

scan while seated uhh i dont explicitly disable or enable that

#

yeah

#

exactly

#

and handsfree doors i dont think so no

olive zealot
#

Alr

humble geyser
#

but i'd need to check the prefab again

olive zealot
#

Not this too, right?

humble geyser
#

i think i might have actually implemented that

olive zealot
#

Oh

humble geyser
#

let me check

#

kay i lied

#

but i know it has a navblocker of sorts

#

its just not like cruiserimproveds

humble geyser
#

this is a host only config

#

iirc

gentle trout
olive zealot
#

Wut abt this

humble geyser
#

i do not have that on mine no

olive zealot
#

Just for when I want to host my own games

#

Which I don't do often

humble geyser
#

although my scandalstweaks mod does fix external forces not decaying while seated, but otherwise no, old bird missiles will launch you

#

ah alr

olive zealot
#

Cuz LC's playerbase at least publically is a toxic cesspit

humble geyser
#

fair fair lmao

olive zealot
humble geyser
#

awesome

humble geyser
#

currently working on implementing the babyface track as a host only config

#

just beware it's not streamer friendly!!

#

for now

olive zealot
#

Babyface is likely coming to v80 anyways, so

humble geyser
#

besides the one coming in v80 is different from the one zeeks originally posted

#

iirc

#

i still want to add it for the meantime

#

if it is different like i'm remembering, i could also add a config for whether you want the original or the new one

cold dune
#

he made the music remix for it

#

but cant add it until next year

humble geyser
#

also going to fix the engine rpm sync since it was still set to "front wheel drive" mode for clients lmao

#

and tweaking the tyre skidding effects

arctic ocean
#

so now we have 9 more months to go

#

lol

#

he still plans to add it though

humble geyser
#

oh, okay, my drivetrain sync has just been broken for like, ever, i guess

#

oh, wait, no i know the issue

#

...maybe

#

yuppo, i fixed it

#

now i need to figure out why it struggles to run people over

#

1.0.2 released

  • fixed drivetrain sync issues and fixed the truck being unable to run over employees
  • added host only config for the baby-face track
#

fuck, i forgot the namespaces of some of my compat patches

#

shouldn't cause issues for the meantime but i'll fix it later

#

pushed 1.0.3 with some tweaks to sync intervals and fixed namespacing, not major but it's done now :p

humble geyser
#

so something i completely forgot about and also discussed with Buttery

#

in v55, the car never counted items parented to it as collected

#

which meant you had to manually drag all the items out and put them into the ship

#

currently, on mine, all items are collected like v56+-present day

#

however, after talking with buttery, i'm thinking of two options

cold dune
#

honestly to me thats fine

#

it makes sense

humble geyser
#

any items on the roof of the truck + items in the back with the door open are lost in space

#

or

#

remove items being collected entirely (authenticity)

cold dune
#

items on the roof being lost makes sense

#

Same w backdoor

#

that sounds better

humble geyser
#

it depends on what i'm willing to sacrifice

humble geyser
north pine
#

Config

humble geyser
#

but for the v55 cruiser, i'm unsure

humble geyser
#

i don't really want to do configs for the v55 cruiser

#

the only config it has right now is baby face radio track

#

the v55 cruiser is kind of built around being a horrid mess that is actively working against you

#

and i'd like everyone to have basically the same experience

humble geyser
north pine
humble geyser
north pine
#

the config i recommended it so you can have it as an option if someone

#

wants that

humble geyser
#

although, having it exactly like v55 would seriously shake up cruiser gameplay

#

because then you cant just drive back with all the loot and have it all be collected

#

you have to scramble to get all the items out

north pine
#

truly awful experience

humble geyser
#

thats the v55 way!

north pine
#

yep, thats why config might be best

#

like toggle to enable it or not is what i mean

humble geyser
#

well, again, this is one of those mods where i don't like the idea of it being configurable, as its built around being 1 way and everyone can have the same miserable experience

#

this mod isn't meant to be fun

#

baby face is only a config due to streamers

north pine
#

then dont compromise

humble geyser
#

at the same time though i can make compromises

#

like

#

for example

#

enemy protection isn't like v55

#

giants could grab you out the back in v55

#

but it's one of those things that cross the line imo

#

i did make it so enemies, such as giants, can grab you outside the cab though and shit

#

this thing isn't "100% pure v55"

#

i am making changes "i see fit"

#

but it depends on how far i'm willing to go

#

it's a mix of "original v55" "my ideas" and "how i imagine zeeks intended for it to be"

arctic ocean
#

for "true authenticity"

#

i think making it "v55 without compromise" is totally understandable though and honestly i support it

#

configuration is nice but im personally i feel like sometimes end users are a bit too demanding of configurability instead of appreciating "the author's vision"

#

i guess us making mods for lethal company is kind of the same deal

#

but like

#

idk

humble geyser
humble geyser
#

atleast, not any configs that "change up the experience"

#

if you're downloading this mod, you should be prepared for the cruiser to actively work against you and be a nightmare to use (especially if you aren't used to the control scheme)

#

i don't want to give this vehicle "training wheels" for example, that goes against the whole goal with this

#

this thing will never be true 100% v55, of course, because otherwise i'd completely nuke any enemy protection and make enemies see through cars for example

#

and that crosses a line imo

arctic ocean
#

it just didnt work because of the layermasks being broken (which zeekerss didnt have time to figure out)

#

and once he did figure out the layermasks wasnt enough

#

he added some extra code to fit his original vision

humble geyser
#

enemies seeing through the back as intended? lol

arctic ocean
#

no i mean

#

he always intended the back to be safe

humble geyser
#

ahh

#

yeah

#

right

arctic ocean
#

he just changed the layermasks in the wrong place before v56

humble geyser
#

the enemy one is totally fair yes

arctic ocean
#

he changed the default value of the layermasks in v55 but they were getting overwritten by the wrong layers from the inspector

humble geyser
#

but i was kinda just talking about if it was 100% how it was in v55

#

and because of that, i am okay with making changes here and there

arctic ocean
#

yeah i just mean this isn't like... "betraying v55 design" because zeekerss tried this with v55, it was just bugged

#

it is "v55 if it worked as it was supposed to" which honestly i think is more appealing to see in a mod anyway

#

as for the enemy protection i dont know

#

i do think zeekerss would have implemented that into v55 if he had the time to figure it out before his release window

#

he probably just figured the layermask changes were enough until he actually got to test those changes in reality

humble geyser
#

the Cruiser that should have been, imo

humble geyser
#

the enemy protection i'm fine with having on mine + expanding outwards, as its one of those things that "makes sense" in my eyes, i guess

#

i don't like being partially protected in the cab, but with the way i setup my truck that won't happen, and i doubt it was intentional on zeeks part

#

probably just forgot about the physics region covering more of the truck than the back part

humble geyser
#

for the most part, if you remember how the v55 car was, this'll feel basically exactly the same as that

humble geyser
#

in the midst of addressing some issues with my player pusher script

#

anyways, primarily, in the next update i'm removing items being safe entirely in the truck

#

just for the v55 cruiser, of course, for authenticity sake

#

make sure to remove your items!

dire vector
# humble geyser i have no idea

You could have a long magnet on the top of the ship that reaches out to the opposite end of the original magnet and faces downwards so that whatever car that drives under it will be immediately attached

#

Extremely rough drawing and it probably looks very clunky

#

Right would be the original magnet and the one at the top is the new one

#

Though ideally speaking, the left magnet would be extended to be far enough away from the walkway of the ship so that ejecting the hauler won't result in it getting stuck

humble geyser
#

anyways, dawnlibs docking stations work like ship furniture that you can move around

#

the Hauler is currently on LLL, and i don't feel like spending all that time to implement my own magnet solution. if anything, i'd just convert the Hauler over to dawnlib

humble geyser
#

1.0.4 of the v55 cruiser released https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Scandal/Version55_Company_Cruiser/

changes:

  • various model tweaks
  • removed items being safe in orbit + removed any protection while in the truck going into orbit
    • items being safe had some of the biggest impact on Cruiser gameplay, and considering this is how it was in 55, this is the route I went. sorry not sorry
  • fixed truck launching you from walking into it at an angle
dire vector
#

It was mostly just a suggestion

#

Honestly I have no idea how having 2 magnets on the ship would be comfortably done without reworking the entire design of the ship from scratch

humble geyser
#

this is why i've suggested a basic terminal garage system where you can just pick what car you want out and it either poofs into existence or is delivered by dropship

#

and then can be stored in the terminal

#

although it would need to be near the ship

humble geyser
dire vector
#

Oh btw, just out of curiosity: I remember you mentioning that you developed a special version of the cruiser that has a lot of QOL stuff built into it (or something like that, my memory is a bit foggy)

#

Will that ever get released? maybe after the new hauler comes out?

slim quail
#

that was the scanvan iirc

humble geyser
#

the scanvan is "basically almost complete" while the hauler requires "alot"

#

i can't fully remember what i need to do on the Scanvan, i know i need to rewrite some of the player animation code stuff at the least

#

oh, there's some other small changes i want to add

#

like removing item protection if items are on the roof or in the back with the doors open

humble geyser
#

i've only just realised that some of my zone logic is backwards in the v55 cruiser

#

uh, woops?

#

i'll fix this laaaaater

humble geyser
#

alongside fixing and cleaning up the v55 cruiser, i've been doing the same to the Scanvan

#

there was quite a lot wrong with the scanvans colliders

#

i'm not sure how half of the shit that relied on them ever worked

humble geyser
#

the scanvan is acting so weird now, the suspension randomly shoots up if its tilted at a funny angle and i genuinely can't figure out why

#

?????? okay that's probably it

#

i dont remember applying a material but

#

anyways once this is figured out, i'm going to "dearcadify" the scanvan

#

it's "too fun to drive" and "too stable"

#

mainly i want it to be a bit more top heavy

humble geyser
#

and now it's not giving me this error again but still breaking

#

why

#

i changed nothing

#

literally nothing

humble geyser
#

anyways, working on making items that are only in the back safe

#

with the doors shut ofc

humble geyser
#

so, regarding the scanvan:

i removed the anti-slide slip, i believe this was causing the suspension issue, i may look into trying to reimplement this if i can get it to behave properly
i have got "items on the roof are lost" working properly by the look of it + items left in the back with either the side door open or lift gate open will also be lost

#

i will probably add an exception for items on the roofrack, but otherwise it'll be lost

humble geyser
#

fixed the tyre slip effects on the Scanvan, boring stuff

#

fixing that also made me realise that i might need to slightly refactor one of the things i added in cruiserimproved

brittle gorge
#

So how fixed is it in general?

humble geyser
#

anyways, i've been thinking. i will add a host config for whether you want a right sided chance for the v55 cruiser

#

it will be off by default

humble geyser
#

nice, the v55 cruiser has a host only bug where passengers dont get their animator replaced

#

easy fix, though

humble geyser
#

i'm going to make it so you can blow the car up on the magnet while holding the gas in park

humble geyser
#

1.0.5 of the v55 cruiser released

  • various fixes and effect tweaks
  • fixed host-passenger animation bug
#

also actually fixed external forces not fading this time for real (part of ScandalsTweaks)

#

fuck, the player pushers aren't acting correctly

#

arghghgh

#

well some of the more major issues r fixed anyways

humble geyser
#

pushed 1.0.6 which should finally fix the player pusher, plus some other visual tweaks

slim quail
#

does scandals tweaks have any benefit to use in a pack without the v55 cruiser

humble geyser
#

It has some other tweaks but they're just for stuff that annoyed me (i.e terminal saying cruiser for custom vehicles, so now it just says "vehicle" in place of cruiser)

#

Originally it was just going to kind of be "fixes for small oddities I noticed when playing" then I decided it can just be my misc mod for all the stuff I don't want copied mod to mod

#

Which is why there's the audio animation stuff

#

Scandals tweaks will be part of all all vehicles I do

#

Incl hauler

#

There's also some patches from CruiserImproved, like fixing items being unscannable in physics regions and fixing interact prompts ghosting

#

Since imo they're more "general fixes" that isn't worth copying from mod to mod

vague nebula
#

Owo

slim quail
#

I c

cobalt crane
humble geyser
#

but they did annoy me, so i just decided to patch all the animation events

#

they would just occasionally go off

#

i believe it's just something not setup correctly on some modded moons

humble geyser
#

lol woops? i kept some experimental code i was testing for cruiserimproved in scandalstweaks

humble geyser
#

ooh okay, v80 out

#

going to see if the CC changed

#

at all

#

literally nothing

humble geyser
#

the v55 cruiser also still works in v80

#

although motion blur does NOT play nice with it

#

ah, okay, there is an issue with the v55 cruiser

#

something with killplayer

#

i'll look into this later

#

i want to play v80 properly

humble geyser
#

this is just chaos

#

(old birds seeing me seated)

#

this is genuinely undriveable

odd niche
#

"embrion is impossible in cruiser" are you sure?

humble geyser
#

the solution that i've gone for

#

is one buttery and i were talking about

#

and it's

#

if the player is seated

#

the old bird will see through the cruiser

odd niche
#

is it impossible to drive with v55 CC or normal one?

humble geyser
#

wdym

odd niche
#

wanna make sure you're talking about the base CC or not

#

because vanilla CC is completely driveable

humble geyser
#

this patch kinda applies to any vehicle, but any mod can patch the method to accommodate their vehicle mod

odd niche
#

it literally be the easiest moon to drive on

humble geyser
#

yes but

#

old birds seeing you in cars

#

in that photo i pulled appy

#

so they were all awake

#

it was genuine chaos

#

i was being barraged with missiles

#

in vanilla there's an issue with old birds LOS

odd niche
#

happy chaos

humble geyser
#

and they cant see seated players

odd niche
humble geyser
#

because their transform gets "protected"

#

no not good

#

it's definitely not intentional, its just a bi product of how zeeks coded their LOS

#

the reason old birds arent a threat is because they literally just cant see you

#

and that's just

#

lame

#

they're meant to be dangerous

#

(ofc)

#

the only reason they saw you in v55 was because the layer mask didnt include vehicles

#

so every enemy could see through cars

humble geyser
#

its something that has always annoyed me

humble geyser
#

and im glad i finally have a solution in place

#

embrion cruiser gameplay is so extraordinarily lame and boring in vanilla

#

old birds just completely ignore you

#

which makes no sense

#

why should sitting in a car make you impervious to their line of sight

#

they see you while flying

#

and will try to land on you

#

but wont aggro

#

when flying they have a different LOS that specifically looks for players

#

i think it only makes sense that they aggro onto seated players on the ground

humble geyser
humble geyser
#

updated the Scanvan for v80 and fixed some issues between the v55 cruiser and scanvan

#

did some more playing around on embrion

#

it genuinely is

#

undriveable

#

with old birds active

humble geyser
#

v1.0.7 of the v55 cruiser released

  • updated to v80
  • various physics adjustments
  • minor model tweaks to bring it closer to exactly how it was in v55
  • al.
north pine
#

What is scandal tweaks???

humble geyser
#

i.e. the patch to fix items being unscannable when parented to physics regions

#

it was initially going to be a "fix for oddities i noticed in vanilla" and then i just kinda repurposed it to be "for whatever misc needs"

#

which is why it has the soundmanager patches and stuff

#

i just updated it with the patch to make old birds see players seated in vehicles (most crucial missing piece for my v55 mod)

humble geyser
wispy nacelle
#

but specially made for Scandal's mods

humble geyser
#

about as factual as it gets

humble geyser
#

i'm thinking, for earth leviathans

#

i might make them launch the car upwards

#

into the air

#

i tried making them just eat the cruiser before but it just softlocked the player

#

so i think being launched might be funnier

humble geyser
#

@marble robin boosting came in v56 and imo its one of the most disastrous things to happen to the CC

#

its a highly abused mechanic and its the absolute antithesis of the point of the car

#

it just allows you to skip the entire map, avoiding danger and any real play or skill

marble robin
#

I don’t actually use the cruiser to jump anymore

humble geyser
#

i dont boost either

#

my scanvan still has boost but, i dont use it since i know how to drive

#

my v55 cruiser, well, i cant boost in that ever

marble robin
humble geyser
#

lol

#

i kinda had a grasp on it as well

#

but ive kinda 180d on it and "i dont care about it" anymore

#

i care more about the original vision

#

but, zeeks did a complete 180 on that

marble robin
#

Yea a lot of maps still do pretty well with cruiser

#

By just driving

humble geyser
#

if you read his patreon posts from around the time of v55, he made it clear the CC wasnt meant to be good

#

he even stated lethal company isnt about empowering the player

#

and "if you get the company cruiser, you get lethal company"

#

and i feel that was absolutely right with the post release cruiser

#

it was a giant steaming pile of garbage, "false advertising" to quote

humble geyser
cold dune
#

i think boost should have been forward propellant but you get I frames

humble geyser
#

what you have to remember at the time when v55 came out, nobody knew how to drive

marble robin
cold dune
#

so you can launch yourself off a ramp but thats it

humble geyser
#

and nobody understood that it was """realistic"""

humble geyser
#

v70 got rid of trees damaging cars

#

which means you can obliterate the entire of vows trees and the car wont take damage

#

i reimplemented this for my v55 mod and it makes forest moon gameplay alot more.. strategic and chaotic

humble geyser
#

they're mostly just like

marble robin
humble geyser
#

people spinning in circles

#

crashing

#

exploding

humble geyser
#

the cruiser always had 30 hp

#

wait

#

i misunderstood

#

yes the car will lose health

#

1 damage per tree

#

like how it was pre v70

marble robin
#

I was also asking does the mod lower the health back to prior v70 health

humble geyser
#

its always had 30 hp

#

but it does bring it back to v55 durability

#

the goal is to keep it as authentic as possible, but i did make some tweaks

marble robin
#

Okay

humble geyser
#

i.e. i fixed up ever visual issue with the model, i made various minor physics tweaks (fixed host-vehicle interactions) etc

#

i might add a "true jank" mode that unfixes some stuff that i, er, fixed, for a "more true v55 experience"

#

i also rewrote enemy protection

#

in v55 there was none, but i wanted the back to atleast be safe

#

this is basically "v55 if it worked properly", i s'pose

humble geyser
#

but can never grab you out the back

#

even with the vehicle upsidedown

#

also added protection from more enemies

#

stuff that "made sense" i added in

#

i'm being quite picky with what i add here

#

sidenote there's currently 2 configs, they're both off by default

#

1 adds back in the unused babyface radio track, to complete the full 6 radio songs (2 unused with 1 being babyface)

#

the other is my own, it enables a random chance for the cruiser to be right handed

marble robin
#

That’s a lot of changes there

marble robin
humble geyser
#

tl;dr the goal is to be AS authentic as i see fit

humble geyser
#

i just added coded protection when sat in the cab while moving

#

since sometimes they could phase through cars if running them over

#

and unfairly grab you

marble robin
#

If I recall correctly

humble geyser
#

enemy protection is something i could of just "binned of entirely" for the sake of authenticity, but i just saw it as "too unfair"

humble geyser
#

i never tested this

#

okay wait so i'm dum

#

i just made it so

#

if you're sat in the front seats

#

mimics can never kill you

humble geyser
#

and it depends on the back door being open or closed and the truck not being angled too much

#

which is why giants struggle to grab you

#

and its also why you're protected on the roof or hood

#

my v55 cruiser only has protection for players within the storage compartment bounds

humble geyser
#

the steering might feel funny on my v55 mod, as i clamped the front wheels to the same range as the full steering animation

#

thats the only thing that will feel "odd" imo

#

it will feel "heavier to steer"

#

but i imagine zeeks would want that

marble robin
humble geyser
#

the steering animation is exactly the same

#

but the front wheels will match it linearly

#

rather than being like 3x faster than the steering wheel and outpacing it

marble robin
#

Also I totally forgot

#

I wanted to test some stuff with cruiser on the new v80 stuff

humble geyser
#

there isnt much interaction with the new stuff and cruiser

marble robin
#

Like trapping enemies in the back

#

Also I want to try recreating a glitch that perma slowed me so I can put it in the bugs section of zeekerss discord

#

Want to do that as well

humble geyser
#

i see

marble robin
#

There some stuff I can try

arctic iris
#

Just to be clear I am not at all complaining, but I am curious as to why this is so big:

humble geyser
#

like the v55 cruiser

#

but it'll also be used by the scanvan and the hauler

#

apologies for that 😅

#

i could break the bundles off into a seperate mod if you want just the tweaks mod on its own and dont use any of my other mods like the 55 cruiser

humble geyser
arctic iris
#

I'm not fussed, though other people might be.

#

Thank you for explaining though.

humble geyser
#

although now that i look at it yeah why is it that big, i'll look into that

#

there isn't like

#

an enormous number of shit in there

#

its just a bunch of vanilla assets that i also optimised

#

i thought for now it's probably easiest if they go into my tweaks mod

#

i will break it off into a seperate mod at some point i guess

arctic iris
#

On a separate note, I am so happy that the scanvan (v5 cruiser) is finally uploaded

#

such fucking peak

humble geyser
#

the scanvan isnt the v55 cruiser

#

the scanvan and v55 cruiser are 2 seperate things

arctic iris
#

Wuh

#

I may be stupid

humble geyser
#

ive only uploaded the v55 cruiser right now

#

this is the scramvan

arctic iris
#

scanvan was your custom vehicle right?

humble geyser
#

the v55 cruiser is just a dumpster fire on wheels

#

yes

arctic iris
#

yeah yeah oops. I have been awake for only 10 minutes so am paying the price

humble geyser
#

this is the v55 cruiser

#

lol no worries

#

the v55 cruiser is fun bad, you should try it out :3

arctic iris
#

I remember many moons ago when you showed off the right-hand drive, such a small random thing but I love it. Will check it out once I've sorted some work stuff out.

humble geyser
#

theres also a config to add back in the babyface radio track (off by default cuz copyright)

#

which would complete the full 6 radio tracks for the CC

#

2 unused (1 is babyface ofc)

#

ive made alot of changes to the v55 cruiser that make it more authentic to v55

#

as authentic to v55 as i saw fit

#

you should also try embrion with it ;) i may or may not have "fixed" something with the old birds

slim quail
humble geyser
#

mmmm the saab

#

yes i do remember this, of course

#

i have my own saab i need to work on :p

slim quail
#

Based Saab owner

#

I thought about getting a 9-5 for a while

humble geyser
#

it was my fathers haha, its not currently on the road as its needs alot of work

#

its just in storage until i can get round to it

#

my main car is a 2008 ford ka

#

this is a 2004 9-5

slim quail
#

I c

humble geyser
#

with the 2.2 isuzu diesel

#

wagon

humble geyser
#

just like

#

look out for rust

#

are you in the US?

#

if not, dont buy the 3 liter diesels

#

the 3ls suck ass

#

theres a reason theres none left

#

they blow headgaskets and crack cylinder liners like crazy

slim quail
#

Yea im in US

#

Was gonna get a 2011 or so model

#

But anymore probably not worth

humble geyser
#

ah, so the NG

#

yeah thats nothing like this one

#

the NG is just an insignia underneath

slim quail
#

I figured it was just some GM rebadge

humble geyser
slim quail
#

Which is why its not so appealing anymore

humble geyser
#

they were a little more refined than an insignia

#

the '04 in storage is a GM era saab

#

but is good car :)

#

and in all due respect saab would of died in like the 80s if it wasn't for GM

slim quail
#

Thats true

#

Just kinda wish they found a partner that wasn't GM

humble geyser
#

god knows what they would of turned out to be otherwise lol

#

i really like the gm-era saabs

#

well, most of them

#

you hideous beast.........,,.., (this was just a concept vehicle based on the Tribeca)

slim quail
#

I'm imagining the alternate timeline where Saab became a competitor to BMW and Audi

humble geyser
#

this thing is so ugly

slim quail
#

Pretty tame compared to some designs from the last couple years

humble geyser
#

ion like it

#

but i guess

#

that's fair

slim quail
#

I still wonder what Subaru was thinking when designing the tribeca
