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

[humble geyser]

https://archive.org/details/78rpmCollection1920s1930sPopularMusic/15+-+Duke+Ellington+Orch+-+Runnin'+Wild.m4a

all the scanvans music is from here

same as the hauler

well

there's a "dmca radio" config, host config only

if you disable it

you can add

whatever you want

through cruisertunes

but by default it doesn't have any music

disabling the dmca radio also unlocks live radio

the only default music it has is the dmca free music

although they are compressed down to 16000hz

and mono audio

so they're really small in file size anyways

this one doesnt have static to it

[humble geyser]

i've seen this but i'm not sure if i'd be allowed to use this recording

[weary marten]

Mr sandman

[humble geyser]

hmmm, this isn't terrible

ill have to compress it and compare what it sounds like to the other songs

appreciate it though!

by the way jacu, I tried that back door sound you sent me and yeah it does fit better

[humble geyser]

1.6.0 ScanVan

• Added a player-handbrake animation when disengaging and engaging the handbrake.
• Tons of code clean-up and optimisations, under the hood internally and to the vehicle zones + physics region, also optimised fog exclusion zones.
• Improved quality of mirrors slightly.
• Improved durability, the ScanVan can now bear the brunt of collisions a bit more and the damage dealt to the player should be a bit more fair.
• Increased hopping force slightly.
• Removed the Utility Compartment for now, due to items getting stuck, sorry for this.
• Auto re-centering wheel now works based on whether the vehicle is moving or not and the speed at which it recenters is based on vehicle velocity.
• Fixed enemy protection checking the wrong thing in some instances.
• Replaced some of the default radio songs with new ones.
• Increased sideways traction in snowy conditions.
• Fixed an error with the radio when no custom music is installed but the DMCA config is turned off.
• Fixed the player-steering animation being reversed.
• Hopefully fix player collisions once and for fucking all.
• Hopefully fixed radio not changing song automatically.

1.3.0 V55

• Added a "pre-beta" config and a "No Tree Destruction" config.
• Lots of code-cleanup and optimisations.

[humble geyser]

from now on i will also be using semantic versioning

i was sort of oblivious to this before

[humble geyser]

there's probably more stuff i forgot to mention here

but quite a chunka changes

[humble geyser]

v55 car should also hopefully have the same player collision fix (hopefully)

[fallow perch]

YES!!!!

[weary marten]

Wippie

[grave flume]

hell yes optimization!!! awesome work

[humble geyser]

lots of it.. the pain ive been through 🥲

[grave flume]

youve done great

[humble geyser]

so many fixes too

[glacial geode]

Holy. Fuck

My heart droppe

I'm so fucking happy this is out!!!

I love the Hauler so much because it was my very first additional vehicle mod. I used it a ton even though it was sometimes more cumbersome to drive over the Cruiser

Now with the Scanvan and Hauler, I love having these high quality vanilla-like vehicles to choose from <3

It's awesome seeing you take over development of the Hauler. I'm excited to try it out. But from my time driving the Scanvan, I already know you did an awesome job with it.

[kindred dagger]

never used hauler before does it drive like the cruiser?

(control wise)

[willow charm]

an hour and a half and still not on TS? wild

[glacial geode]

😭

[glacial geode]

It used to but Scandal said he completely reworked it, so it very likely has a different feel now.

But it used to drive just like the Cruiser, but took turns wider and was generally just

It felt a lot heavier to drive

Idk how to describe it

But it was just a slightly adjusted Cruiser. But despite it controlling the same, it felt like a different vehicle somehow

Glojam did a great job with the original model

[willow charm]

So uhh, cant order it

Could be an imperium thing

[kindred dagger]

i see

[willow charm]

Manual spawn works, though

[proper fable]

It is indeed an Imperium thing

[willow charm]

oh boy, imperium COMPLETELY breaks it

Uhm... Devtools completely breaks it...

[proper fable]

Spawn CarStealer button? 🥀

[willow charm]

no didnt click that

I cant even start the ship 💀

Huh

[glacial geode]

Yeah I gave up using Impreium on custom vehicles it doesn't really

Work right

[proper fable]

Button doesn't do anything, but like it really shoooould do something

[glacial geode]

Something always seems to go wrong big or small haha

[willow charm]

This is just a bit big

[glacial geode]

May be a very slight miniscule problem

[glacial geode]

No big deal it only makes the game completely unplayable it's very friendly

[willow charm]

So yeah uhm, cooked

[proper fable]

Oh wait that DevTools lol

I thought just the vanilla one

[willow charm]

the vanilla one?

[willow charm]

thats what devtools does

It just enables the vanilla tools afaik

[proper fable]

Oh, well clearly your car got jacked

[rough garnet]

is the loud horn from original hauler still here?

[cold dune]

🙏

[weary marten]

with this update scanvan now is goated

the auto center steering wheel is kinda buggy, sometimes it just don't recenters, and you have to manually do that

[humble geyser]

Because you have to start moving

[humble geyser]

Wuh

[humble geyser]

Imperium works fine for me

I've used it to test vehicles numerous times

[humble geyser]

No, as much as I wanted to keep to glojams original design, this is something that hasn't stayed

[rough garnet]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HFXfHEFbEAA50-4.webp

[humble geyser]

It will still probably feel a bit like a cruiser but it's not a carbon copy anymore

Which I'm fine with

[humble geyser]

it should be a bit less cumbersome now

but i'll leave that up to the end user

it has like, mediocre acceleration, slightly soft brakes, but the turning is better than before, it has the smooth turning from my scanvan but the wheels turn linearly with the steering wheel

so the steering feels weighty but not like steering the titanic

i've also added some stuff in to not make it a complete slog

[humble geyser]

okay, identified some issues on the v55 car

[humble geyser]

ah, these might be kind of easy to fix

i believe i know what's wrong

[humble geyser]

@proper fable heavy apologies for the ping but i know you've talked about this before and might have more insight than me, is cruiserimproved adding rigidbodies to items causing the falling through the floor bug to propagate more?

my scandals tweaks mod does the same thing if cruiserimproved is not installed, as it's more of a 'general fix' than anything

[humble geyser]

i do not know why the v55 cars post destruction is so buggy

but it doesn't chuck any errors

the tyre meshes just do not get disabled

that's like, the main issue

[humble geyser]

plord

[cold dune]

plirding around

[humble geyser]

this is genuinely the strangest issue

i don't know why the wheels remain

anyways i made some adjustments to the burnt model, the back lights now stay (like in vanilla) but are positioned properly on the burnt wreck

[humble geyser]

ohh i know what these are

these have to be LODs

there's no way they're not

v1.3.1 vErSiOn fIfTy FiVe, Do yOU WaNt To RuN oVer YouR COwoRkeRs?

• fixed issues with post destruction

ah shit, i forgot the rear shelf collider for v55

will fix this in a moment

[humble geyser]

fixed ;p

[humble geyser]

okay, two of the scanvans music tracks are

gone

great

three, infact

oh

its dawned on me

why it doesn't work

i accidentally added the new songs to the dmca list of songs

updated the big 3.. mainly in hopes that the ignition animation bug will go away forever

also fixed the scanvans radio tracks

[toxic girder]

wrong ts team btw

[humble geyser]

FUCK

thank you for catching that super quickly

the version was wrong anyways in the manifest

[toxic girder]

yw i almost did the same mistake once (or twice)

[humble geyser]

so annoying

i deprecated it but thunderstore as usual takes 45 years

also requested to have it deleted

it's so dumb you can't delete packages as a creator

[humble geyser]

i'm so used to just clicking Scandal when it comes to the teams

[toxic girder]

yeah thunderstore is very inconvenient

[humble geyser]

okay, it's deprecated

now i just hope someone can delete it as soon as possible

[toxic girder]

i also hate having to select game and team every single time

especially when you update multiple packages

[humble geyser]

i should add the ability to money shift the scanvan and then you have to pay thousands to get the engine fixed

[proper fable]

Technically yeah, it's almost always items' ScanNode being mentioned in the Infinity or NaN spam, but it can happen to items that already have a Rigidbody (like a soccer ball)

It wacky

[rain dragon]

@humble geyser Tried out the new hauler last night with my group and just wanted to share this with you. Might be a little loud.

[silver inlet]

I have zero clue wtf im doing

[rain dragon]

Holy flashbang

https://giphy.com/gifs/white-surprise-be-like-FZuC4kSIAe7MTXyHuJ

[weary marten]

You have to use the clutch pedal

[silver inlet]

Oh

wait are you sure thats it?

its saying something about “washer fluid”

[weary marten]

use the clutch while trying to ignite the engine

[humble geyser]

that's just a gimmick ignore that

[humble geyser]

LOL

[humble geyser]

yes you need to use the clutch pedal while turning the key

as per the service manual ;)

then, to change into gear, use the clutch and mouse wheel up or down to change up or down a gear respectively

the handbrake is inbetween the seats, you'll see the prompt

if you release the clutch too quickly when trying to set off and don't give some gas, you'll stall the engine

[rain dragon]

Are you working on anything for the Hauler currently? Any QoL?

[humble geyser]

i don't have anything really in mind right now, but i'm open to feedback i guess

i'm generally quite satisfied with the hauler as it sits, from testing it seemed pretty good and the release of it seemed to go pretty well with like, next to no bugs

i know it has only been out for like 2 days and i've yet to see what people discover and think of the rework as a whole

[rain dragon]

I think the only thing I would comment about unless I missed it somehow is just

1. return to center on the wheel
2. Able to put it into park, reverse, and drive with scroll wheel.
3. Rolling when the window let's you look out like on the Scanvan

[humble geyser]

returning to center i'll think about but i'm generally quite happy with the haulers steering behaviour as i think it's absolutely manageable (and i also enjoy manual recentering as a whole) i know the scanvan has it but i don't know how much i'd consider it QoL (even then i adjusted the scanvans auto center to behave more like a real car than BVC)
scroll wheel idea i will consider, but the only reason i did that for scanvan is because driving stick would be hellish having to physically look at the stick and click E on the gear, plus the position of the gear stick would of made it super awkward
rolling down windows letting you lean out i will also consider

[humble geyser]

will be pushing a hotfix for the big 3 to fix the ignition animation being uncancellable

[humble geyser]

hotfixes pushed

[humble geyser]

btw, hope you don't mind me asking, but how was the truck for you and your crew?

also, was it stable, was there any bugs?

i'd be interested to know =)

[rain dragon]

It worked as intended for the most part. I believe we did have a desync issue where the hood was opened on one person screen but closed on the other. I was having issues where the hood would randomly pop open for some reason? But I couldn't replicate it.

Oh another thing

[humble geyser]

the hood thing i can look into, that sounds like the "hood fire" might be desyncing

[rain dragon]

Using the magnet and having it on the driving side, trying to get out I just got crushed and died

[humble geyser]

wha

it was magnetised during this, right?

so you got out when it was on the magnet, and died?

[rain dragon]

Yeah lemme get on my computer I can show you a clip

[humble geyser]

alright, no worries

if that's the only real two issues then i'm really pleased

the hauler underwent serious surgery under the hood and i really expected a bunch of gamebreaking bugs

anyways i think i might know the issue with the hood desync

will probably be easy to fix

..i hope

[formal whale]

I do have a nitpick about the hauler, I would love if the trigger to open the door from the outside (and potentially inside) where a bit closer to the vanilla cruiser, being a bit bigger and not only specifically on the handle

It'd make opening the door and getting in a bit of a smoother experience, even more so when in a hurry

[humble geyser]

this is because of the window trigger

i didn't do this as a haha fuck you realism type thing

i had to do it on the scanvan too

it was a necessary evil

[formal whale]

It does affect it even from the outside?

Damn

[humble geyser]

it could

[rain dragon]

@humble geyser. Had to mute the audio cause we were talking about something personal.

[humble geyser]

no worries

let me see

[humble geyser]

yup i already know what this is

sunroof snagged you

[rain dragon]

I doubt the weather had a play in it.

[humble geyser]

i can look into this

[rain dragon]

ahhh

LOL

[humble geyser]

i would probably add a cooldown upon leaving the seat in which the sunroof cannot kill you but

i can't gaurantee it will work 100% of the time

the sunroof was closing and when it placed you in the cabin, you stood up for a brief moment

and the sunroof kill collider clipped you

atleast, that's my best guess

[humble geyser]

are you using lethal elements?

you know the scanvans heater works in LethalElements ;) anyways that reminds me that i would like to implement similar compat for the Hauler

although a bunch of my underlying code could do with consolidation

[rain dragon]

I did not. I just downloaded a bunch of new weather mods. to test tthem out. but I'll have to check it out

[humble geyser]

ah i see

what is the snow from then?

[rain dragon]

What doess it actually do?

I believe it is from lethalelement

[humble geyser]

snowfall builds up over time and hinders movement, you can create paths using vehicles/equipment like shovels or by walking through it

[rain dragon]

I also got Kenji Weather, and Legend Weathers

[humble geyser]

blizzard has some of the same stuff but it is more brutal and there's the occasional snow storm that can deal damage if not under cover/shelter, and being out in can slowly give frostbite over time

the ScanVan has compatibility for this, so long as the doors/windows are shut and the windshield is present, and the heater works to keep you warm during it, and it will protect you from this

engine has to be running too of course

and during heatwave you can put the blower to cold to stay cool

the cabin and storage compartment are technically two zones that have different "sealing requiremnts" but are heated/cooled by the same blower

the heaters fan speed in the scanvan also affects heat transfer

but i hope you like dealing with the loud ass 2000s blower fan if you have it on full speed

[fallow perch]

Hey scandal, whenever you get spare time, could you take a look at this? The random sorting isn't working on your Scanvan
https://github.com/Miloet/TheManyModsOfLethalCompany/issues/25#issuecomment-4576517322

[humble geyser]

i don't really know what cruisertunes is doing for "random song sorting"

i also don't really see this as an issue on my end

custom music by CT is assigned to the same radio clips array

i don't have anything on the scanvan that would break random sorting

[fallow perch]

I might have not tested it correctly

I'll look at it in a bit

[humble geyser]

i believe i have identified the issue and i will be attempting to fix it for the big 3, thank you for reporting this

i was using mostly the vanilla hood stuff but zeekerss does it in a wacky way

looking at it, i'm not surprised it desyncs

he was basically setting the animation three times, one on the hood method, one on the animated obj trigger and on the hood fire method

[humble geyser]

infact, this is just a hauler specific issue

looking further into it, i see the actual issue now

[fallow perch]

I tested it out and the Hauler worksbur not the Scanvan

Not saying it's an issue on your end

[humble geyser]

i have no idea but the scanvan has no code that would mess up this from what i can tell

i'm fine with it not being a thing anyways because it fits with the whole CD theme anyways

a CD doesn't just randomly sort songs at will

plus it's not something that i'm bothered about all that much

it's like, eh

you can still listen to whatever you want

the scanvan has no say in what order ct adds songs to or what ct does to the order of it

if it for some reason has something to do with the scanvan initially having no radio clips, i cannot do anything about this

when using non streamer music mode

[humble geyser]

so something cool i just found out about the 90s+ caprices

they came with an introductory cassette

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tMdMQLG1O0

"aerodynamic" i'm not sure about that lol

[glacial geode]

Like you put it into the player, and it tells you about the car/how to drive or care for it?

[humble geyser]

you can listen to it in that video

[glacial geode]

☠️

I just watched it why do they call it aerodynamic

I think that's actually so cool that they came with their own cassette to introduce you to your vehicle even though back then probably everyone threw that shit away

[humble geyser]

well in 1994 you wouldn't of instantly thrown away a brand new car lol

but yeah it's very cool

"confident v8 performance" followed up by "220 horsepower" lol

[humble geyser]

unless you mean the cassette its self

then maybe

it was a novelty item for sure

but i imagine it would of been very cool to walk into a dealership in 1994, they invite you to sit into the car and are like "Let the car do the talking" before playing that

i'm not sure if that's what they did, but it sounds cool in my head

i think there's also some other cassettes that have music made for the caprice on them

that came with the caprice

[glacial geode]

Yes

I meant the little cassette since it's just like

I mean to the average person that is probably all irrelevant. It would be to me. I don't think I would care to listen to a tape talking about how my car was manufactured - I'd just wanna drive it lmao

But that isn't to take away from how interesting I think it is that older vehicles came with this sort of technology

[humble geyser]

well it's not so much how the car was made it's all the features and stuff that it has

it probably also gives the buyer a sense that effort was put into this car

which is probably what you want when buying a brand new car

[glacial geode]

Oh

[humble geyser]

because it wouldn't of been cheap

[glacial geode]

Wait yeah

That's true

I guess back then things were different. We didn't have as easy access to information like we do today via the internet

Now that I think about it that tape was probably pretty helpful and informative for new buyers

[humble geyser]

i mean even when it does talk about how some stuff is made, that's all just reassurance that you're buying something good and not a shitter on wheels

[glacial geode]

Yeah I was a little confused at first why they were talking about stuff like the steel they used

But I guess if it's to assure the buyer of the quality, that makes sense

[humble geyser]

it mentions stuff about anti-lock-braking which was only really common on higher end vehicles in 1994, but gm was pushing towards having it as standard equipment for example

galvanized body panels is important for corrosion and rust protection

[humble geyser]

i have found a bunch of minute differences when looking at the actual v55 car in my v55 copy

a bunch of the wheel settings are drastically different for example

[humble geyser]

update pushed for v55 and scanvan that should address a hood dsync

my dying E key is so annoying

the v55 car has also had its radio behaviour adjusted to better match "the intent"

where it's more like you're tuning into stations playing continuously rather than them stopping and starting from beginning upon tuning into them

[humble geyser]

will be addressing the look input not syncing on the v55 car

plus some otheer stuff

[humble geyser]

ohh

i see

yup figured it out

updat epushed to fix playr zone sync and rmov log spam

my dying keyboard is so annoying

[willow charm]

have you considered writing custom logs for people's moons?

[humble geyser]

sigurd authenticity

[humble geyser]

will be fixing the v55 cars right hand drive shifter

ack

[humble geyser]

just you people wait till i make the PrideVan

[grave flume]

Fuck. Yes.

[weary marten]

Yes fuck

[faint flax]

What type of vehicle is the scanvan

???

[fallow perch]

A scanvan

[faint flax]

Stop trying to gaslight, what is the scanvan closest to in real life

[north pine]

a van that scan

[fallow perch]

The Scanvan is a car in real life though! /j

[humble geyser]

it's a mix of vehicles

it's inspired by chevrolet/GMC vans from the 2000s

or just "general 2000s heavy duty vehicles"

[faint flax]

Hmm

Cool

[humble geyser]

i.e.

and even

it's not really based on any specific van, more just a mix and match of "gm style" and "generic utility van"

the front end is unmistakeably GM-inspired
