V.E. Scanvan Thread! (and any other of my vehicles)

[humble geyser]

well thats the thing

they werent

lol

[slim quail]

Moment

The thing i liked about these were how understated they looked

[humble geyser]

i loved the hirsch wagons

omfg they look so good

but they're so rare

[slim quail]

I'm a sucker for vehicles that look underwhelming or boring but are surprisingly capable

[slim quail]

Not like the level some people do with sleepers but in the middle somewhere

Those are sick

[humble geyser]

speaking of hirsch i also love the older hirsch wagons

this is kinda like if saab made a viggen out of the 9-5

like they did with the 9-3

[slim quail]

Underappreciated

[humble geyser]

the viggen 9-3 is awesome

[slim quail]

Just like the eunos cosmo, what i want to get as a project car one day

[slim quail]

If I can get my hands on one with a 3 rotor I will be a very happy wawa

[humble geyser]

the eunos are nifty looking things

[slim quail]

It pisses me off though

[humble geyser]

fun looking car

it reminds me of the thunderbird

[slim quail]

People buy eunos just to rip out the 20b and put it in their rx7

Thats a whole ass car you're throwing away

[humble geyser]

people do that :(

its not just the cosmo

[slim quail]

Yea

[humble geyser]

people take the engines out of saabs to put them in their shitbox of a corsa

[slim quail]

Lmfao

[humble geyser]

like what the fuck do you need 300hp in this for

[slim quail]

It doesnt sit right with me

Just like people putting v engines in rx7's

Like they dont make this thing anymore and you're throwing away the most unique part

[humble geyser]

literally putting a 250 plus bhp engine in an absolute knacker of a car

[slim quail]

Also why a corsa

[humble geyser]

i dont know

[slim quail]

You could do it with any other car

And you choose the corsa

[humble geyser]

horrible little cars

the saabs are superior cars and they're already pretty rare as is :p

[slim quail]

Do we as a community need to start gatekeeping Saab and eunos

[humble geyser]

lmao

unrelated but here's a fun one

this is a 1/1 prototype 9-5ng

with a 2.9 v6 diesel

developed in partnership with vm motori

developed 250 hp and 550nm of torque

supposedly, anyways

also, there were some prototype first gen 9-5s that were meant to have like

a 4l v8

with a 6 speed manual + all wheel drive

i had pictures of them but i cant find them anymore

[slim quail]

That wasn't when they were doing the whole xwd thing right

[humble geyser]

it was before xwd yes

afaik anyways

wait i found one

there was also a prototype 5 cylinder engine

1.6

making 225 hp

"variable compression"

[slim quail]

5 cyl are so cool

Whatever volkswagens and audis had them sounded so good

[dire vector]

Honestly can't wait for the scanvan to release

It looks so cool

[indigo coyote]

you cant park there

[humble geyser]

i did

and what'cha gon do about it

this is meta right here

[prime canyon]

sir do you have a permit for that

[humble geyser]

...theoretical permit

[brittle gorge]

Let me see.....I'm sorry but your theoretical permit has theoretically expired by 1 theoretical day. I'll let you go but you need to get it theoretically renewed.

[mint warren]

FLYING MY SHIP INTO THE SUN (gone wrong)

• skeleton staff

[humble geyser]

rewritten a bunch of the scanvans EVA code, going to patch a v80 project and see if i can fix motion blur not playing nicely with my vehicles now :p

[humble geyser]

rebuilding in v80 seems to of fixed it! i'll post an update for the v55 cruiser soon

[humble geyser]

font

[humble geyser]

i have updated the v55 cruiser, this should address the motion blur problem

i'd also like to say something else, as well

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Scandal/Vandal_Electronics_Scanvan/

have fun!

[north pine]

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT

[humble geyser]

any issues or feedback, let me know!

[north pine]

GO TO MOD SHOWCASES RIGHT NOW

THIS IS HISTORY

[remote raft]

WHAT

ITS REAL

[fallow perch]

this is the moment of all time

[north pine]

REMOVE THE WIP

[humble geyser]

V.E. Scanvan Thread! (and any other of my vehicles)

I am aware of one 'issue' and that is items on the roofrack will not save in orbit

I'll address this later

Make sure you just place everything in the trunk and shut all the doors :3

[fallow perch]

Scandal

I've found.. some.... punctuation issues

[humble geyser]

NOOOOOOO

[fallow perch]

HAHA

[humble geyser]

NOT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

[fallow perch]

this is the only thing I found

congratulations on releasing it dude!

[humble geyser]

ah right, yeah that's like

not major

if it was in the manual i would of cried (again)

[humble geyser]

ty ty!!!!

[fallow perch]

JAHAHAHAH

[humble geyser]

i'm really hoping i didn't miss anything (not talking about punctuation)

i've given this thing so many once-overs

[fast flower]

how do you charge the thing

[humble geyser]

?

wym

if you're talking about the battery light its from a cut feature and it'll just go away when you start the engine

[fast flower]

I started the van and it had a no battery symbol on the dasy

oh

[humble geyser]

cars do that when you turn ignition on but dont start it

[fast flower]

I cant get it to move

[humble geyser]

its because the charging system isn't running

[humble geyser]

clutch down

shift into gear

you can configure the keybinds if it helps

theres also a handbrake between the seats

[fast flower]

I cant seem to change gear

[humble geyser]

the (P) on the dashboard is the parking brake light

[humble geyser]

by default it's scroll wheel but you can change this :p

[fast flower]

might wanna add a clipboard lol

[humble geyser]

i did

its in the back

[golden meteor]

Congrats on the release :D

[humble geyser]

ty!!!!!!!!!!!

[fast flower]

where I didnt see it

[humble geyser]

on the lower shelf

in the back

[fast flower]

wait GI might have killed it

[humble geyser]

where it always is

[fast flower]

lol

[humble geyser]

ah

yeah

probably

clutch is left shift by default

mouse wheel up is change up a gear by default

and mouse wheel down is down a gear by default

[cold dune]

uninstalling gi forever

[fast flower]

just the clipboard dummy

[cold dune]

generic incompatibilities

[humble geyser]

its a config in GI

that allows you to nuke the cruisers clipboard

but i guess it applies to custom cars too

anyway i do know the gear shift works because i was using it earlier

i tested it right before i released it

[north pine]

am i hallucinating or when you scroll up and down these thing move on their own?

im loosing my mind

MY ENTIRE SCREENSHOT IS MOVING

im loosing my mind ignore me

im so happy for you scandal

finally released!!!!

[cold dune]

manul power

[north pine]

i honestly thought it was gonna be another year before finally seeing it on the thunderstore

[cold dune]

groosh.tv

[cold dune]

you arent real cheese

give in to the voices

[humble geyser]

i kept having spontaneous thoughts at times whether i should release it yet but i just couldn't bring myself to it as i kept checking over everything over and over to make sure everything was "perfect"

[fast flower]

ok next question, how tf does a stick shift car work 😭

[humble geyser]

press clutch

shift gear

release clutch

easy

the clutch may take a split second to engage since its not instant

[north pine]

yes we all noticed that hahah

so glad you finally made up your mind

im really excited to try it

[humble geyser]

it's out now, now it's just the waiting game to see what issues arise and what feedback people will give me

[glacial geode]

HI THIS MOD LOOKS REALLY AWESOME. I just looked at the Thunderstore page - this vehicle looks fucking sick!! Just gotta wait for my Thunderstore app to update so I can download it to my modpack and play with it <3

I never see Cruiser mods. The only one I ever play with is the Company Hauler, but it hasn't been updated for v80 yet. This looks like a really really nice addition to the modded vanilla-like vehicle line-up!

I'll let you know what I think about it when I get the chance to actually play it. But Xu told me that I should send you some love for making this mod - it really does look super promising!

[fast flower]

tried

nothing happens

[humble geyser]

???

works for me on my machine

[fast flower]

I can work the stick

[humble geyser]

yes

did you disengage the parking brake

[fast flower]

but nothing seems to happen

yes

[humble geyser]

then release the clutch in gear

and it should start moving

well, give a bit of gas first

there is an ability to stall it

so if you stall it

restart the engine

[fast flower]

ok but what is gass

[humble geyser]

W

[fast flower]

tried

[humble geyser]

W is always the gas

[fast flower]

nothing

[humble geyser]

do you have

input utils

[fast flower]

yes

[humble geyser]

do you mind like, screensharing to me

[willow charm]

Lil bro hasn't played beamNG 💀

[humble geyser]

because it's working perfectly fine for me

[fast flower]

no sorry

lemme post a video

[humble geyser]

yeah that works too

[willow charm]

I'm gonna love driving this thing around, and then cry because nobody else can figure it out I swear

[humble geyser]

your engine isnt on

look at your tachometer

0 rpm

start the engine first

hold the clutch down when starting

[fast flower]

how do I actually get it on I held ignition

damn

[humble geyser]

i added a tip that appears when you try start it without the clutch first time

that says

"depress the clutch"

and yes depress = press it down

not "dont hold the clutch"

[willow charm]

Does this come with a manual?

[humble geyser]

service manual yes

[willow charm]

Does that include instructions on driving? Because it probably should

[humble geyser]

got to love the immersive visor rain lmao

[humble geyser]

i did include a section about the gear stick, which is probably the main part people would need to get used to :p

and what to do in the event of a stall

[fast flower]

I did not expect a realistic car

I never learned to drive stick

XD

[willow charm]

I feel like the clutch is gonna be far more difficult for people to wrap their head around

[humble geyser]

i've wanted to do a stick shift for a while but i just, never got round to it

[humble geyser]

its like

so easy to drive

i have to make it work on keyboard since most people are keyboard users

theres also a "hill assist" that works in the background

[willow charm]

Oh I know, but it's 2026 my dude

[humble geyser]

it'll release the clutch slower and give more gas on inclines

[proper fable]

What are cars if not advanced horses 🐎

[humble geyser]

lol that's fair

[humble geyser]

i will add this as something to maybe look into... maybe...

[willow charm]

Curious if it's compatible with the improvement mods for cruiser

[humble geyser]

improvement mods don't really touch this vehicle

[fast flower]

ok uh, it keeps asking me to remove key

but there is no key

[humble geyser]

look above the remove key prompt

there's two ignition prompts

[willow charm]

Two??

[humble geyser]

remove key/untwist and try ignition

you can remove the key without needing to start it, or untwist the key without fully removing it while it's started

a little unintuitive yeah i guess, but this isn't bugged

[fast flower]

illl be real, that feel kinda dumb

it feel like a needless extra thing

[golden meteor]

Is there bear trap compat 🥺

[fast flower]

rest is my fault

[golden meteor]

I wanna fuck up the car

[humble geyser]

haven't tried

[golden meteor]

Damn alright

[humble geyser]

it might work

this has unities wheels

so mAybe

[willow charm]

I feel like ignition should work the same as regular cruiser yeah

[humble geyser]

but idk

[golden meteor]

Ohh interesting then maybe

[humble geyser]

i'll probably just disable the prompt if the key isn't in :p

i'll add this to my list of things to look into ^^

[fast flower]

yeah I can very much tell this mod isnt for me lol

[humble geyser]

and that's okay

[fervent timber]

Why does this rely on UniTask btw?

[humble geyser]

the live radio system :>

[fervent timber]

Ah

[humble geyser]

(off by default as a host config)

it do have streamer friendly music

[fast flower]

I do wonder how, will the hauler overhaul be more realistic

[humble geyser]

i haven't decided

[humble geyser]

i never expected this mod to be for everyone, in fairness

and it's not really possible to cater to everyone

[fast flower]

I cant wrap my head around how the steering works here lol

[humble geyser]

works like the normal car EXCEPT THE DESYNC

but there is a recentering config

if it helps

i just made it a little smoother

so it doesn't just instantly stop turning when you release the inputs

[fast flower]

idk bro ive driven a lot and this felt way more slippery

talking irl

[humble geyser]

i'm talking about the vanilla cc

it is manual recentering by default

if you use mods like cruiserimproved it removes 2/3 of the steering animation as a "fix" for the desync which might be why you're not used to it

this retains a 900 degree steering wheel rotation like a real car

and there's a "curve" to it so you don't need to turn the wheel as much to get more steering angle

[humble geyser]

there's also this ^

you turn left, car go left, you put it straight, car go straight, you turn right, car goes right

if you enable auto centering, wheel go straight when no inputs

[fervent timber]

It errored out for me

[humble geyser]

🤔

hudmanager is null?

weird

[fervent timber]

Yeah it did give me the black fog of death

[humble geyser]

line 23 is just to display a message tip if there's no stations found

on HUDManager

i've never gotten this before

mind providing a modpack?

[fervent timber]

Is it a conflict with TooManyEmotes?

Lmao

[humble geyser]

nah

[golden meteor]

Can I see the code surrounding line 23

[fast flower]

nah I ran that

[fast flower]

in my test rn

[fervent timber]

019d7f07-945b-3715-534a-24169c2c2eaf

[golden meteor]

I mean what's calling it :p

[golden meteor]

Yeah that'll do it lol

Idk how it ever worked for you

[fervent timber]

LoadingInfo maybe?

[golden meteor]

Stop giving random mods lmao

[humble geyser]

guess i can remove the tip 🤷

[golden meteor]

Yeah either remove or move it to .Start

[fervent timber]

My bad, I saw the StartOfRound patch and thought it was interacting with LoadingInfo lmao

[golden meteor]

Awake is too early, HUDManager doesn't have the chance to assign its instance

[humble geyser]

ic

i'll push an update in a mo!

just need to test something

[humble geyser]

i'm just going to remove it entirely it's like

not that important

[gentle sable]

ITS HEREEEE

ARRGHGHHHHHHH

[humble geyser]

yes but hang on till i push this update 😭

[gentle sable]

ive been tracking this since the thread was created

[gentle sable]

ah

what is the issue again?

-# im a little lazy to scroll up

[fast flower]

Def too much for me to personally consider using, at least from my perspective

very well made mod tho

[gentle sable]

https://tenor.com/view/garage-sale480dalcross-dr-fnaf-purple-guy-alex-delarge-mole-gif-17017203

[fast flower]

I just kinda feel even compared to vanilla cruiser, im not really seeing the benifit in comparison, unless this is more meant to be an alt

v55 cruiser I mean

[humble geyser]

pushing 1.0.1 out :p

[humble geyser]

you know, this is something i've always been conflicted about, i've never really been sure how to make something that "provides more benefit in comparison to the cruiser" because the cruiser kinda already does everything for most people.

sure i have an overhead roof which provides protection from alot more enemies, it also has more health and reworked durability, its also way more engaging and fun to drive compared to the Cruiser, etc

i guess calling it an alt is fair, but the hauler also suffers the exact same problem

i'm not really sure what i could add to "innovate" on the cruiser

[golden meteor]

Here me out, and this might sound crazy

What if you could use like, jet boosts to "jump" with the vehic- oh wait why is this even a vanilla thing

[fast flower]

thats true, just atm it does feel more of a hastle than its worth, tho fun factor prob helps it some

[humble geyser]

😭

[fast flower]

I mean I just used the hauler for a change in the formula

ngl

[humble geyser]

depends on who you are

[fast flower]

ye thats what I mean

[humble geyser]

well i guess that's fair but it suffers the same problem

[static horizon]

hooly fuck

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-gif-21646252

[humble geyser]

i could do something crazy like a metro bus or something stupid but that doesn't provide much benefit now, does it?

[static horizon]

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS IT REMAINED IN DEVELOPMENT

[humble geyser]

other than hauling like a morecompany lobby

it'd suffer literally the same problem

[fast flower]

I guess I was looking more for just a diff vibe without changing too much (unless its has some extra benifit in some way)

this is more an alt game mode

in a way

[humble geyser]

this does provide some extra utility :p

[fast flower]

so I see why im not persoanlly a fan

[humble geyser]

like sheltering you from more enemies and such

baboons, sapsuckers, giants, old birds, etc

[fast flower]

would you mind adding fieopars to that one got me during testing lol

[humble geyser]

i added protection but ill be honest i dont know if it even works

[mint warren]

this entire time I see you telling somebody FOR SHAME for using cruiser and not scanvan, and it wasn't even out yet 😭

[humble geyser]

i forgot to test it

[humble geyser]

no it was obi

because he had access to it

:3

[fast flower]

def just a different playstyle that doesnt suite me

good job

on release tho

I wouldnt say I thought id never see the day

[mint warren]

but but but

[fast flower]

but I didnt expect it yet

[humble geyser]

that's fair but unless you have any ideas for how to innovate on the cruiser, then most modded vehicles will be stuck in the same predicament :p

[mint warren]

what if she didn't have access to it, and you just liked to shame people for not using it without access to it 😀

[humble geyser]

this should be fixed in 1.0.1 btw

[fast flower]

wish vehicles were easier to make bc legit I just want skins haha

that arent color skins

XD

[humble geyser]

just use cruiserskin then..

[fervent timber]

Yippee

[fast flower]

thats colors

aint it

[humble geyser]

there is more than just colors

[fast flower]

wait what

[humble geyser]

make your own eve- maybe not because zeekerss uv

[fast flower]

never seen anyone post it

[humble geyser]

people have made skins for the cruiser

like uh, idk, dhl

or other random shit

[golden meteor]

Make the rainbow cruiser

[mint warren]

maybe a decent addition for modded vehicles would be an ability to have more seats, so more people can sit without flying, maybe

[fast flower]

dhl?

[humble geyser]

this do have 1 more seat in the front

[static horizon]

what

[humble geyser]

it do be a 3 seater

[mint warren]

yeah, can you make a rainbow cruiser that flies and blows up super easily

[static horizon]

there's so many of them, that's weird you've never seen any

[fast flower]

im talking about skins that ARENT recolors

of the base cruiser

[humble geyser]

i had suggestions about adding seats into the back but i was never on board with that idea

[fast flower]

ive seen plenty of those

[golden meteor]

Can we grt a baby booster seat

And make it so the eject button transfers to that seat

[mint warren]

you should add seats under the wheels

[humble geyser]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/rndminc/DHL_Company_Cruiser/ here is your skin idk

[golden meteor]

And make it so that every lobby, a player can't use any seat except that baby seat

[humble geyser]

enjoy working for DHL

[static horizon]

why would it only allow you to do recolors

are you confusing recolor with reskin?

[fast flower]

I dont get it thats not what I meant

[static horizon]

you're looking for remodels?

[humble geyser]

remodels might be what you're talking about

[fast flower]

THAT is what I mean by skins

[silver inlet]

VehicleSkinRegistry

[static horizon]

be more clear, dumbo

[fast flower]

Id call those skins

I call otheres recolors lol

[humble geyser]

i guess but it's not really the correct term to use

[mint warren]

2 story cruiser skin 😔

[static horizon]

skins is a very broad term 😭

[fast flower]

I want your skin

[static horizon]

that's literally wrong tho

[static horizon]

get off me you freak

[hollow pollen]

Congrats man

https://tenor.com/view/fnaf-meme-fnaf-william-afton-weaponsmovie-weapons2025-gif-8038433867469751891

Oh hell yeah!!!

Congrats dude!!

[mint warren]

purpose in life was complete

[humble geyser]

drive the luxury stick shift vehicle and suffer and have fun

[hollow pollen]

The awesome mod that was always coming is now the awesome mod that is out now

[silver inlet]

[humble geyser]

hope you know how to drive stick

[silver inlet]

thats it, BetterVehicleControl’s your car :3

[humble geyser]

bvc doesnt do fuck all to this car

this isnt a park reverse drive car

[silver inlet]

Thats it, makes addon for it

[humble geyser]

this is a reverse neutral first second third fourth car

[silver inlet]

Gunjeurhhwuhea

smiles

[hollow pollen]

Oh... the text just reminded me ||is this the one that has a voice line for everything you shouldn't be doing ;-;||

[humble geyser]

w/ clutch

[humble geyser]

yes lmfao

the talking van

[humble geyser]

it used to be a park reverse neutral drive car

but then i just said fuck it and finished off the manual gearbox i had planned

yeah sure it might be a learning curve but that's just how the dice rolls

i do actually think the manual is arguably better to drive

you have more control over the torque delivered to the wheels

and you're not waiting on a slushbox to decide what gear it wants to be in

[hollow pollen]

So does it being manual mean that if the driver were to become incapacitated by some means it would not just continue accelerating forwards and flying off a cliff like our favorite other car?

[humble geyser]

pretty much, but an automatic car wouldnt do that either irl

that only happens due to a host bug in vanilla

in an automatic car if you became incapacitated your foot wouldnt be planted on the gas

same for manual

[hollow pollen]

I just mean that most automatic cars apply a small amount of gas so when you aren't on the brake you move forwards slightly, even without pressing the gas

[humble geyser]

oh right yeah

this do kinda have that but you have to keep feathering the clutch

[hollow pollen]

But also the cruiser just flies away which is way worse than what a real automatic one would do

[humble geyser]

it's not a fully realistic manual since.. there's no point in making realistic physics, especially when no one would appreciate or notice that in gameplay

clearly even in a basic form its already causing chaos for people lol, which is fine, i expected this (and i will not be changing this)

[frozen obsidian]

Just wanna say, FINALLY!

[humble geyser]

General rule of thumb when trying to use the Scanvan

• If you see a battery light on the dashboard, the engine is not running but the power is on (key in). Starting the engine will make this go away. (The battery light is from a cut feature that is no longer in the mod and has no effect on anything

• There is a handbrake between the front seats, there is also a light on the dashboard to indicate whether it is engaged or not

• Completely press the clutch DOWN and use your set shift key to shift either up or down a gear, then release the clutch once the shift is completed

• You can stall the car in any gear other than neutral, but you have to really be trying to do so

• You can configure your keybinds under settings/keybinds/ScanVan

• Most of this is now in the README

just incase i get like the same complaints a thousand times :p

not ideal to have to put it in this thread, but i imagine anyone would come to this thread first

[north pine]

didnt know your car was so technical lol

[frozen barn]

HOLY SHIT ITS REAL

[humble geyser]

i enjoy the technicality of things

the cruiser is just

really basic

and a bit boring, to me

[fallow perch]

I'm cranking it. and by it, heh. let's just say. the handbrake.

[topaz fractal]

I noticed when playing I get in the passenger seats, and when I go to exit, I get stuck like this.

I ain't sure what to do about it.

[humble geyser]

just crouch

im aware of this

its because of the enclosed roof when it stands you up

[topaz fractal]

I'm pressing crouch, its acting like Im sitting however higher up

No movement inputs work.

[humble geyser]

could you provide a modpack code

do you have betteremotes or anything

betteremotes/moreemotes completely nukes the custom animations on this

and can cause problems like this

[topaz fractal]

019d7f41-87f2-bd70-b6ec-86dce9070765

[humble geyser]

i'll have a look, but i imagine this is an incompat

i tested host/client passenger seats multiple times

[humble geyser]

oh also what version are you on

latest? (v81)

[topaz fractal]

Yes, since me and my partner are on v81

[glacial geode]

Yeah

[humble geyser]

just checking

[glacial geode]

We're both playing rn on the same code

[humble geyser]

ah i see

i was wondering why you both pinged me at the same time haha

[glacial geode]

Yeah I apologize

[topaz fractal]

Yeah we're trouble shooting your amazing mod so far on our modpack

I love all the details so far

[glacial geode]

Me too

[humble geyser]

no it's okay i'll take a look as soon as its done downloading

[glacial geode]

Alright <3

[humble geyser]

i did expect issues may arise and i'm going to be actively looking into any that i get told about

oh just a quick note

i did release a 1.0.1

so might be worth updating to that :p

it's a hotfix

anyways i'll try now, with the version you have, and see if i can figure it out

[humble geyser]

are you host or client

[glacial geode]

He's the client I'm the host

[topaz fractal]

Client, Thistle is host

[humble geyser]

[glacial geode]

I'm not having any issues (other than trying to figure out how to operate the vehicle). Not any bugs, I think it's just a learning curve trying to figure out how to get it to start up

[humble geyser]

huh.. i never reset the animations.. but how did it work during my testing.. wtf

[glacial geode]

I like that - I mean it doesn't have to be easy. The company cruiser takes a lot to get used to. I expect this vehicle to be the same

[humble geyser]

hold the clutch when starting

it does have a tip when you try start without the clutch

for the first time

[humble geyser]

okay i forgot i do it on interacttrigger

[humble geyser]

cannot replicate this

[topaz fractal]

This is rather strange if you cannot, all I do is go in, then go to exit through the door by pressing E on the door.

[humble geyser]

i did

i tried both passenger seats

[topaz fractal]

I don't understand why this is bugging out on my end

[humble geyser]

may i see your log file

[topaz fractal]

How do I access this?

[humble geyser]

your_profile_folder/BepInEx but also mod managers have a setting to retrieve it iirc

i know gale has it up here

idk about r2 or ts

ive tried on a client as well

exiting both passenger/driver side

from middle seat

and then passenger side passenger side

might be a longshot but might be worth trying 1.0.1

[glacial geode]

Is this it?

[humble geyser]

yus

but i ideally need the clients log

[glacial geode]

Oh

Hold on I'm gonna show him how to do it

[humble geyser]

okay

wait

hang on

i found

something

but yeah do also send me his too ^^

[humble geyser]

okay this isn't, relevant, and i don't think this is caused by me

let me take a look at that log

[humble geyser]

yup, okay, i see the problem

i'll investigate, thank you ^^

[topaz fractal]

No problem, thank you as well.

[glacial geode]

Yay

[humble geyser]

i'm not actually sure why it's failing here

hmm

the order of execution shouldn't be causing any problems

[humble geyser]

does this happen consistently?

[topaz fractal]

Yes.

[humble geyser]

i'm not sure why i can't replicate this on my end with your exact modpack

something is setting PlayerUtils.PlayerAnimator to null

which is causing a nullref when trying to restore or copy parameters

[fallow perch]

scandal i love your mod holyshit

[topaz fractal]

That is so bizarre

[glacial geode]

Yeah that's really weird

[topaz fractal]

I don't know what could possibly be doing that for me specifically

[humble geyser]

i'm slowly leaning on the side of "this probably isn't something i've done"

[topaz fractal]

Going to test this on its own.

[humble geyser]

yeah that probably would be handy

any info is appreciated, if theres a consistent way to reproduce it that would really help

i can try just directly passing the players animator rather than trying to access a reference, as a parameter

but that's not, really ideal, if something else is breaking

[rough garnet]

are the other vehicles like the hauler and saab gonna be more arcadey or more realistic like the scan van 👀

[humble geyser]

the saab i've already said i'm not working on, but i do have a different vehicle as a replacement that i'm working on

[rough garnet]

i ❤️ scanvan.,,...

[humble geyser]

the hauler i haven't decided yet

[glacial geode]

WTF

It just happened to me now

I'm the host

[topaz fractal]

Idk

It's odd it switched, Im able to get in and out but not him now

[humble geyser]

did it happen without imperium

[glacial geode]

Yeah.

[humble geyser]

ic

i'll attempt a hotfix for this, but i'm not sure what exactly is causing this or why

especially since i literally cannot reproduce this

[glacial geode]

This is on 1.0.1 btw

[humble geyser]

oh, i might see a potential issue

on second thought, no, this wouldn't cause a problem

well, i can attempt a hotfix for this in v1.0.2, but i'm really unsure

[humble geyser]

have you tried the van just on its own?

both of you with imperium, as well

or without

one or the other

[glacial geode]

No, we haven't tried it on it's own yet. Using Imperium alongside it was supposed to be that - so we didn't have to grind for money to purchase it

I've never ever had Imperium break a mod so I highly doubt that's the issue.

[humble geyser]

i have used imperium alongside it plenty of times and its been just fine

[glacial geode]

Yeah

I'm gonna try it just on my own without him

[humble geyser]

i'm going to test it a few times on a LAN session again and see if i can break it

if not, i'll push 1.0.2 and you can let me know if that fixed it

[glacial geode]

It's not breaking anymore trying it on my own

What is the "clutch" btw? I'm still struggling to get the Scanvan opperational

[humble geyser]

clutch is left shift by default but you can rebind it

[glacial geode]

Ooohhhhhh

OMG

[humble geyser]

a clutch is used in a stick shift car to disengage the gearbox and engine to allow you to change gear

[glacial geode]

It's working

Thank you

[humble geyser]

swapped seats

yeah, okay, i'll push this 1.0.2 and i'd appreciate if you could let me know if it fixes the issue

i toyed around with some of the animation code

[glacial geode]

DAMN THERE'S A RADIO TOGGLING ANIMATION TOO???

[humble geyser]

yes

[glacial geode]

That's fucking sick!

[humble geyser]

i wanted to add more animations but i just havent got round to it yet :p

[glacial geode]

That's alright <3

[humble geyser]

https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/Scandal/Vandal_Electronics_Scanvan kay 1.0.2 is out

okay

did i

not

change

the version

okay no i did it came through

i find it weird because the v55 car uses basically the same system and when i did a session with 2 other people it was working perfectly fine

so i'm not sure why the animations are breaking for you 2

hoping this fixes it anyways <3

[glacial geode]

Yeah, thank you

[humble geyser]

in the worst case scenario i'd just make sure you don't have anything else that you might not be aware of messing with animations or something

judging from your log, your playerbodyanimator may of been null or for whatever reason the old global variable was being reset to null

which would cause none of your animations to work at all

oh, hm, i wonder if me resetting the stop animation trigger before replacing the animator is causing problems

[humble geyser]

i may of just clocked what is going on, for realsies

[glacial geode]

Are you positive this time?

[humble geyser]

no idea!

[glacial geode]

LOL

[humble geyser]

still worth a try on 1.0.2

before i push another update

when it may not even be necessary

if all else fails i will indeed push a 1.0.3 with this minor change

[glacial geode]

Me and my boyfriend are going to go to bed, it's getting really late. I'll test it out in the morning but everything was working well when I tried it on my own

[humble geyser]

no worries!

[glacial geode]

[humble geyser]

sorry for the animation bug inconvenience 😵‍💫

[glacial geode]

Don't apologize, it's alright. It's to be expected - you just released this mod like an hour ago.
When I released my mod, it took until 1.0.3 before my audio files actually played lmao. Before that the first two versions the mod didn't even do anything at all.

[humble geyser]

been thinking about it, 1.0.3 might be the one that fixes it, since i do believe what is happening is because i reset the stopanimation before replacing the player animator, something something the game sets that flag and then it causes you to stand up, but for other clients they reset your trigger after and then set the sitting down animation, which is why they see you sat down

this is not how i had it before, i changed it when rewriting the animation code to be more modular

no idea why i changed that part in specific, but i did

i have reverted it now, anyways

[humble geyser]

this has to be it, i don't see any other reason for it to just brick its self

[glacial geode]

The mysterious brick of agony and unimaginable horror

[humble geyser]

custom animations are a pain to get working properly :p

[glacial geode]

It's worth it. Seeing that custom reaching animation for the radio blew my socks off

It's really small details but I appreciate when people put the time and effort into things like that.

[humble geyser]

i kinda need custom animations since the shifter is in a different position anyways

and its a manual box with a bunch of different positions

and upshifting/downshifting

[rough garnet]

can you weedkiller jump with the scanvan

i’m hoping not but idk haha

[willow charm]

Would be funny if weedkiller made this one just faster

[humble geyser]

yes but i nerfed the boost ability

and you can only add 4 turbo boosts

i never figured out what i would like to replace the boost ability with

so i just did that for the meantime

[rough garnet]

a scan seems like the obvious answer but idk what that scan would do

[humble geyser]

the hop feature remains pretty much unchanged

[rough garnet]

i’ll have to see how much the boost is nerfed but it sounds pretty good

[humble geyser]

if people still manage to fly over entire maps then i guess i'll nerf it a tad bit more :p

until i can come up with something

[humble geyser]

just coming back to this since I had a think about it, this is what everyone said about the cruiser when it just came out and no one knew how to use it :>

my goal with this van isn't to make a vehicle that is vastly superior and provides tons of benefits over the cruiser

i guess, for the most part, it's what i wanted to make

though, it is also just an amalgamation of ideas thrown together over time

but, y'know

and like i said, every vehicle is just going to suffer the same issue

_ _
i think i'll use an ATV as a more realistic example here since its something alot of people have suggested

an ATV seats 1, would make you far more vulnerable and, durability wise, would be pretty fragile. an atv also can't haul as much loot and would probably be slower speed wise

the only thing that has over the cruiser is being cheaper and slightly more suited to rough terrain, and probably a bit easier to control

it's not really about being vastly superior to the cruiser :p

every vehicle will have its flaws and its strengths, and it's a bit of a losing battle if your only intent is just "be better than vanilla cruiser in every way"

I'm not upset if you don't enjoy it, that's okay, was just addressing it again now that I had a moment to think about it

[formal whale]

FUUUUUCK YESS

[humble geyser]

have fun, hope you know how to drive stick :)

[formal whale]

who knows!

[fallow perch]

i've been on with a friend for about 2 hours already

we can't even get enough credits for the scanvan LMAO

[humble geyser]

it's 440 😭

[fallow perch]

yeah I thought it would be easy but we kinda suck at the game HAHAHAH

[humble geyser]

lol as long as you're having fun

[fast flower]

ill be real I modded my enjoyment lol

[humble geyser]

and that's okay lmao

i just had a moment to properly think about it

if you want a really effortless vehicle for cheap money, then this vehicle isn't for you

[fast flower]

Oh yeah I didnt want that, more I didnt know what id be XD

didnt know how far you were planning to go since I only partiallt followed development haha

[humble geyser]

oh, another thing that i just remembered/thought of

the scanvan used to be like

identical to the cruiser control wise

same gear control scheme n' shit

but like

what's the fun in releasing basically the same thing twice

i think it's okay for it to be unique ^^

[fast flower]

true

now I need an air vehicle NOW

[humble geyser]

i mean maybe it would of aligned with your just wanting a mild remodel thing, but i could not bring myself to do that

[fast flower]

eheheheh

[humble geyser]

just spray weedkiller in the engine of the cruiser idk

[fast flower]

I meant more like a hot air balloon XD

[humble geyser]

he's having a great time

[fast flower]

that would be funny as shit

[humble geyser]

company hot air balloon.. you set it off and it keeps going up forever then explodes

[fallow perch]

LMAO

[humble geyser]

the greatest 250 credits you could spend

[fast flower]

Man I rememeber Voxx was making a bus vehicle for his third moon

sad that well prob never see that

it was gonna be part of the moon

[humble geyser]

oh snap yeah i remember that

[fast flower]

hope voxx is doing well

[humble geyser]

i'm really worried for him

he's just been mia for a while now

[fast flower]

well dantor came back after a longer hiatis(well hes mia again but still)

so im gonna bet hes prob fine

and life just got busy

[humble geyser]

a year of literally radio silence doesn't scream hope to me but i won't give it all up entirely

[fast flower]

I mean as I said ive seen people disapear for longer

and end up being fine

many years later

Ill choose to believe hes fine but def not ignoring worry

[humble geyser]

infact was it voxx making this?

i remember seeing it (and at the time it also kinda gave me the motivation kick to keep working on my stuff)

[fast flower]

im pretty sure it was since I think I remember him showing it when I had asked what hed been up to

since he had been busy for a bit

he said 3rd moon was in dev hell a lil lol

then showed some stuff

that moon is what lead to the snow weathers in LE

kinda like how his other weathers were based on his moons

[humble geyser]

i can't find any images from him but i had some of the bus pics saved in an old dm

[fast flower]

scanbus when

[humble geyser]

i've... thought about it

but it's just like

such a dumb idea

i had this in mind lmao

[fast flower]

wanna see what I was thinking lol

[humble geyser]

is it a yellow schoolbus

[fast flower]

demolition derby buss

[humble geyser]

i predicted it

[fast flower]

meant to take hits and hit back

[humble geyser]

i think this'd be funnier

[fast flower]

but unweildy and slower

[humble geyser]

my crew being thrown around like sardines in a tin can while a giant tosses the bus around like a toy

i don't know if i'll ever actually do a bus because of how insanely dumb and impractical it would be

but i'll think about it...

i'd also be worried about space on the magnet

length wise

[humble geyser]

specifically this style of one

[fast flower]

reminded me of this modded ship upgrade in subnautica

magnet boots

[humble geyser]

there's a renault 5 mod for subnautica

[fast flower]

one for stardew as well

[humble geyser]

ya

car

[fast flower]

and a lot of other games

[humble geyser]

it was part of renaults MODDER5 thingy

[fast flower]

ye

[humble geyser]

...new vehicle idea

/j

the company 5

for 5 credits

anyways i need to go run some errands now, will be back soon ^^

[frozen obsidian]

magic school bus with 14 employees driving on embrion

would go wild

[rough garnet]

brurrrppp tank vehicle when

[fallow perch]

scandal did you fix the bug when if yo ugot out with the car at a certain angle you would get stuck as a driver

LOL

I think you did

we finally got the scanvan thanks scandal for this epic mod

it was so cool showing my friend all the cool things of the scanvan

we both really liked it !

[humble geyser]

what version were you using

1.0.3 is the latest

[fallow perch]

1.0.1

[humble geyser]

yeah try 1.0.3

[fallow perch]

I updated just now tho but we had to get off

[humble geyser]

this happened to someone else but I couldn't reproduce it, so I'm just hoping my rearrangement of code will fix this problem

:p

[fallow perch]

https://tenor.com/view/ikabod-ikr-the-upturned-upturned-dance-gif-12464082832955267354

[humble geyser]

could you provide the modpack you guys were using?

just incase

[fallow perch]

019d800a-62d3-bcc1-edab-612a20dbc19e

this but scanvan 1.0.1

[humble geyser]

cheers

[formal field]

really love all the stuff especially the three seats but man the controls are not fun to get used to

[humble geyser]

for the most part the control scheme is "mostly the same as vanilla"

the clutch is an additional thing that allows you to change gear

if it makes it any better i had genuine thoughts one time about adding individual triggers you had to look at for each gear lmfaoo

i canned that idea off a while ago

if you can master the cc you can master this, probably

[formal field]

idk what it is but i kept having to try the ignition

[humble geyser]

it's like driving a real manual car

[humble geyser]

the ignition chance stuff is about the same as vanilla

vanilla doesn't start on the key immediately

also make sure you were holding the clutch down while starting

oh, right, also

you can stall the car

if you just leave it in gear at too low of a speed and dont use the clutch

it stalls

like a real car

[formal field]

i mean like when i was driving, i think i stopped too suddenly which made me have to try the ignition

[humble geyser]

yeah it stalled then

[formal field]

and then i slightly bumped into a wall and then i had to yet again try the ignition

too much ignition

[humble geyser]

sounds like yet another stall

[formal field]

i guess so

[humble geyser]

you would also stall if your car came to a dead stop in gear irl

except for like an automatic

ofc

but this isnt a slushbox

[formal field]

does the vanilla cruiser have stalling?

[humble geyser]

no

its an automatic

automatics dont really stall

this is a manual car

so it has the ability to stall

[formal field]

damn i think thats my problem with it but ig its about preference

[humble geyser]

maybe try a lower gear lol

if you're trying to drive in like fourth everywhere of course it's gonna struggle

different gears also provide different amounts of torque

gives more control

[formal field]

oh i was in first gear

[humble geyser]

hmm

if you just hit a wall dead on then yeah that's like, idk what to say

it's going to do that if you don't clutch in before you hit a wall

clutch modulation may take some time getting used to, but it's not impossible

i tried to make the clutch as forgiving as i could since most people are on keyboard

[formal field]

yea i guess im just not used to the clutching and the stalling

[humble geyser]

it's a learning curve

i didn't want to make it too hash and punishing on players

it's actually pretty difficult to stall it unless you're just intentionally trying or as you said, slammed into a wall

or maybe if you try too steep of a slope

there is a clutch assist that works in the background on inclines

it has a max inclination of 32 degrees and at that point its at its max

and cant assist anymore than that

[formal field]

does bettervehiclecontrols do anything

[humble geyser]

no

there is a self centering config like bvc

but otherwise bvc doesnt touch this

bvc just.. wouldnt work if it touched this vehicle anyways

like my gearbox is detached from the vanilla cruisers gearbox system

the clutch is only something on mine that the cc doesnt have

bvc wouldn't touch any of that

so if it tried to change into "drive" it just wouldn't do anything

since i dont have code to handle an automatic gearbox

[formal field]

i see

i also just noticed the little side door to the back to the van thats sick

[humble geyser]

yup! very handy, believe it or not

i like parking the side door right next to main and me and my crew can hop in and out during the day dropping loot in the back

very very handy

speaking of the back.. i might add a storage light in there

it's something i wanted to do but just, never did it

[formal field]

oh yea i was just wondering why there wasnt one

[humble geyser]

its just something i never really got round to

i think i had one at some point but i didn't like how that one looked

i'll have to revisit it sometime

[fallow perch]

oh yeah scandal have you thought about the squeaky pedals

or some other way to provide feedback on the clutch

[humble geyser]

yes ive thought about the squeaky pedals

but

i don't know how helpful that is

like, would you have to wait for the audio to complete

[fallow perch]

or sort of completed yeah

[humble geyser]

i just don't know how helpful that would be

[fallow perch]

It's the only thing that's ocurred to me to provide clutch feedback

[humble geyser]

i can play around with it

[formal field]

i like the way the driving feels compared to the cruiser it almost feels slippery

[fallow perch]

it's way heavier

[humble geyser]

i wouldn't say it's slippery

it is heavier yes

more top heavy

boaty like

...almost like a van

...like its a van

...weird

[fallow perch]

I got so much control with this car dude... :droo:

[humble geyser]

i love driving stick with this

i thought it'd be like

[formal field]

slippery smooth idk how to describe it

[humble geyser]

nightmareish

[humble geyser]

the steering?

i did make it so the wheel doesn't immediately stop turning with no input

the inputs have some decay so it tapers off

which might be part of it

[formal field]

i think that combined with the heaviness makes it feel more controllable

[humble geyser]

the issue with the cc being uncontrollable is literally because of how zeeks sets the center of mass lol

he sets the center of mass after the wheels set their sprungMass

[fallow perch]

alright scandal now you should work on your next mod: the Mazda RX-7 FD 👍

[humble geyser]

sprungmass being "how much weight can this spring hold up"

and because its such a dumb low number

and then he moves all the weight to the front

the wheels cant hold the weight up

so it slams down on all 4

and the body jitters

and its really bad at speed

and during turning

[fallow perch]

there should be a drift track moonLOL

[humble geyser]

rotary rebuild every 30k miles 🔥

[fallow perch]

YES

[humble geyser]

embrion and my apex seals fucking die and the car doesnt start

have to pour ATF into the thing to get compression

[fallow perch]

exactly

[humble geyser]

and then it smokes like crazy

Smoke Screen

[fallow perch]

dude if only it were easy to add more vehicles to lethal company..

[humble geyser]

it do be quite the process

[fallow perch]

yeah I can tell from the 1+ year of this mod in th emaking LOL

[humble geyser]

to be honest i was kinda setting myself some high bars and i was trying to go all out

there's quite alot of shit going on under the hood

especially when compared to something like the hauler when it first came out

not putting glojam down ofc but the hauler was pretty simple

[fallow perch]

I'm glad you did go all out though I love this thing so much

[humble geyser]

i'm glad atleast one of ya'lls like it <3

i'm hoping paco is able to fix lethalelements soon

the heater is just a noise generator at the moment

:<

[formal field]

its really good

its always good to see a new vehicle we dont get them too often

also am i the only one who keeps accidentally switching the wipers when i want to interact with the key

[humble geyser]

even though it's cruiser based i tried to put enough into it to make it unique enough :<

[humble geyser]

nope i do this too lmao

i might have to shrink the trigger slightly

same for hazards

space is tight.. i'll figure sum out tho

[formal field]

true i feel like it and the key are really close

feels like they overlap sometimes even

[humble geyser]

unfortunate side effect of having the wiper switch where they are on 99% of irl cars

i can probs just make the trigger shorter

i will probably also play around with the size of the ignition triggers

einfact i have an idea

[formal field]

at least the wipers dont do much so its not really a problem

[humble geyser]

true

they just

make noise

subtle noise

[formal field]

its just there for asmr purposes

[humble geyser]

i really wanted to add water on the windscreen but i'm not sure how to tackle such

[humble geyser]

tru

[humble geyser]

i think something like my summer car would be nice

[formal field]

oh wtf a functional radio system

[humble geyser]

indeed

if you toggle the host config you can enable live radio

and toggling that also means if you have any cruisertunes mods/ custom music they can play on "cd" mode

you can also lower/raise the volume of the radio

[formal field]

ohh is that why naudio and unitask are a dependency?

[humble geyser]

yes

indeed

[fallow perch]

it's so much fun to drive around on a cruiser moon

[humble geyser]

i will have to agree

it do be more of a "drivers vehicle"

[fallow perch]

HELL YEAH dude

[rough garnet]

this mod is sghit whys there no button for turn signals

https://tenor.com/view/flight-flight-reacts-ftc-gif-10344871754903558430

[humble geyser]

i added hazard warning lamps at the least :(

interact with the stick behind the left side of the wheel

:3

i will probably add turn signals at some later date but its like not an important thing lol

[rough garnet]

dude...

[humble geyser]

my whole idea was push back for hazards, down for left and right for up

[rough garnet]

road safety is essential

[humble geyser]

just the hazards can be toggled right now

-# the hazards may also come on without you interacting with them... you'll find out what i mean sometime

[fallow perch]

maybe you could do the same thing that rv there yet had

instead of with the stick, use it for the sticks behind the wheel

man that was fun im gonna go sleep

we should play lethal scandal
