#

the scanvan/hauler has adjustable gear ratios and a final drive, and it can vary the torque output in certain gears and change the max speed of that gear

tiny ledge
#

feels like an electric car if that makes sense

drifting berry
#

no yeah i getcha

#

the haulers math is a bit funky because it's using my old scanvans drivetrain system when it was an automatic

#

but i think it "works well enough" for the hauler

#

there's also some other physics wizadry working in the back to not make it a complete slog

#

like, it will use the difference in wheel rpm between the front and rear wheels and lessen or increase torque to a wheel, basically a hacky code way of having a locked differential

#

which should aid in getting over terrain

tiny ledge
#

you cant start the hauler when set in drive right?

drifting berry
#

correct

#

has to be in park

tiny ledge
#

has to be in park

drifting berry
#

just like my old scanvan

#

although my scanvan also required holding the brake pedal down

#

which is the "brake shift interlock"

tiny ledge
#

but having to break while starting might be a bit confusing

drifting berry
#

you don't need to do that on the hauler right now

#

lol

tiny ledge
drifting berry
#

but if i did add it, it would also be to shift out of park, just like my old scanvan as well

#

yes

#

to start it must be in park and you must depress the brake pedal

#

then to shift out of park you must hold the brake down and shift

#

for now its just "must be in park" to start

#

as it's much easier for people to figure out without it being written in the manual

#

since i'm too lazy to update the manual right now and doing the manual is not my strongest suite

tiny ledge
#

last time i drove an automatic was when i took driving lessons

#

manuals are still very common in Europe

drifting berry
#

my grandmothers car is an automatic

#

my irl car is a manual

#

5-speed

tiny ledge
#

same

drifting berry
#

or, in correct technical terminology "6 speed with reverse"

tiny ledge
#

i only ever hate it when stuck in a traffic jam at an incline

drifting berry
#

inclines aren't too bad if you know how to hillstart

#

stuck in traffic does suck in a manual yes

#

especially in my fucking car specifically

tiny ledge
tiny ledge
drifting berry
#

you have to be razer precise with the clutch in my car

#

stop start traffic just kinda fuckin sucks in it

tiny ledge
#

i guess an older car then?

drifting berry
#

yes

#

2008 ford ka

#

like this

ford-ka-3.png
#

the worlds greatest automobile don't let anyone tell you otherwise

tiny ledge
drifting berry
#

looks are deceiving but this thing dates back to 1996 and was very popular here

#

they're also future classics!

tiny ledge
#

i have a 2009 renault clio so somewhat similar?

drifting berry
#

very striking and revolutionary car

#

i mean a ka and a clio have nothing in common other than being small city cars

tiny ledge
#

does its job for a first car ig but i want to get a new one at some point

drifting berry
#

the ka is absolutely one of my favourite city cars (my parents had one for years, bias much..) but it is just such a striking car in terms of looks, especially for something that came out of 1996

tiny ledge
drifting berry
#

such a sawesome vehicle

#

they're basically all but gone on roads here now

#

and their prices have ballooned up

tiny ledge
#

i have never ever seen that car before

drifting berry
#

it was fords first production car to use the "new edge" styling

tiny ledge
#

yeah it does not have that box like look a lot of older cars have

drifting berry
#

ford was absolutely playing a dangerous game with making such a striking looking car

#

but it

#

..worked

tiny ledge
#

cars nowadays just seem unreasonable big for no reason

#

a lot of parking spaces arent even made for them

drifting berry
#

the ka was like

#

a spiritual successor to the mini

tiny ledge
#

yeah it looks tiny

drifting berry
#

it's very tall inside

#

i'm shy of 6'2

#

and have plenty of headroom

#

it's not a large car, but it fits me just fine

tiny ledge
#

yeah probably fine if you dont have 4 people all the times in the car

drifting berry
#

i mean

#

i've had 4 people in it

#

it's a 4 seater

#

i don't really like having that many people though

#

sensory overload

tiny ledge
#

most important thing for me in a car is that it is reliable

#

i dont want to bring it to the repair shop every month

drifting berry
#

That's fair

tiny ledge
#

the only thing that broke for me so far were the rear shield wipers

#

it would be nice to have a car that can go a bit faster or is *less noisy * but not really necessary tbh

drifting berry
#

noise does not concern me because i like having my music on

tiny ledge
#

also as a sidenote the collect items thingy works for the hauler

drifting berry
#

i mean

#

i figured that much would work

warped mountain
#

Oh yeah scandal! Have you thought about adding seats in the back?

#

Or is the idea scrapped?
Sorry, for the Scanvan, I forgot this was the Hauler thread

@drifting berry when you are going to make a battle tank or a fighter jet

ionic iron
#

scandal has said multiple times that he doesnt really wanna do that stuff

#

im still really sad at the scrapped tiny car he was working on

#

would have been so cool hehe

warped mountain
#

Oh yeah I remember that one!

warped mountain
ionic iron
#

but vehicles take sooooo long to make, that yeah putting all that effort for something you are not 100% sure might not be the best idea

ionic iron
#

helicopters, tanks, bikes

#

none of that!!!!

warped mountain
#

I still want. To make the Company Copter (CC for short)

ionic iron
#

here we only have the best quality and most realistic cars possible!!

#

and i still want a bike hehe

#

tho tbh a helicopter would fit much better in like code rebirth

hi joking im cheese

Bruh…

#

Lol sick

#

The custom cruiser might unironically be harder to drive than the normal company cruiser

drifting berry
warped mountain
#

I dreamt with the Hauler today I don't even know how

#

I never played with it

ionic iron
#

Its a sign to play with it

red holly
#

in a good way tho

drifting berry
#

which is called an oldsmobile custom cruiser

#

anyways, the cruiser and the "old hauler" had basically the same weight and stats

#

the hauler just had "better suspension" but it was still fundementally the same amount of weight

red holly
#

it was just way too light when i tried

#

like old hauler

drifting berry
#

yes, because it weighed 220kg, only 20kg more than the cruiser

#

lol

#

the cruiser weighs 200

#

hauler weighs 220

#

well

#

used to

#

they were both hilariously underweight and the cruiser still is hilariously underweight

red holly
#

i will miss loud horn button tho…

drifting berry
#

more like steering the titanic than anything

#

it's where the term "landyacht" stems from

red holly
drifting berry
drifting berry
#

it feels much more weighty in comparison to the old hauler

#

and that's fine

#

as long as it works better in gameplay and doesn't have egregious physics i'm happy

red holly
#

it feels so much more unique now

drifting berry
#

this was just due to some funky physics problem

drifting berry
#

i don't like when every vehicle just feels like another cruiser

#

i think setting a baseline that vehicles can be expressive and unique in their own ways is healthy

red holly
#

glojam did a great job differentiating it with no boost and no eject

drifting berry
#

well the no eject was a given because of the roof so it made sense

#

the no boost was just a balancing thing

#

i don't think that is what differentiated the hauler though

red holly
#

really?

drifting berry
#

or, maybe it did

#

i don't fully know myself

red holly
drifting berry
#

the eject i guess isn't as important

red holly
#

yea

drifting berry
#

the horn was interesting and i would've kept it as i want to respect glojams design as much as possible, however:

the button glass just did not fit properly and awkwardly clipped into stuff
i think it is too goofy for a gimmick that isn't really that helpful as it just attracts a bunch of dogs to you

red holly
#

true

#

prolly more effort than it’s worth but my friend managed a pretty cool play using it

#

like he lured dogs over and tanked

#

prolly didn’t really need the horn to do that even but it was pretty cool still

drifting berry
#

i mean

#

you can just blare the cars normal horn

#

i guess

#

and attract dogs to yourself

#

and probably explode the car

red holly
#

yeah

#

he didn’t NEED the super horn to do that but it was #sweet

drifting berry
#

anyways, the new hauler is certainly more interesting to drive than the old one

#

you have the scanvan to thank for that because it reuses some of its old drivetrain logic from when it used to be an automatic

#

it will probably never be as engaging as say my scanvan, but that's not something i could inherently change, and i guess i'm not all that bothered by it

#

it's kind of hard to make an automatic car "engaging" to drive

#

because it's like, put it in drive and just hold W i guess

drifting berry
#

v2.0.5

  • hopefully fixed a desync with the hood
tiny ledge
#

hood still desynced

drifting berry
#

are we serious

#

sigh

#

i'll look into it in a bit

#

i don't exactly know what's wrong with the hood

#

currently hung up doing some work to my v55 cruiser 🙂

drifting berry
#

the hood is local

#

instead of opening for all clients

tiny ledge
drifting berry
#

sigh

#

this is such a dumb desync

#

this is going to be annoying and i haven't even begun looking into it

#

okay, i should have a fix for the hood, i'm going to test it first, and if all is well i'll be pushing 2.0.6

tiny ledge
#

also did you change the enemies that can get run over

drifting berry
tiny ledge
#

nuts are invincible now xd

#

they just get pushed

drifting berry
#

this is vanilla cruiser behaviour as well

#

nuts are never meant to be outside in the first place so i'm sure you can understand why zeekerss "never accounts for this"

tiny ledge
#

but it used to work still

#

with CI

#

and now it doesnt

drifting berry
#

it won't anymore

#

this is because CI was restoring "small enemy damage" behaviour from v55

#

which was a fix for baboons/masked

#

but those are fixed as of v80 since zeeks adjusted their internal size

#

plus, it was allowing ganking the fox as of v80

#

which zeekerss intentionally changed the size of

#

to prevent it being ran over instantly

#

so this would mean nuts fall under "small enemy" category

#

and therefore cannot be killed by car

#

anyways, the haulers enemy damage is basically "identical to vanilla"

#

i hope you can understand my reasoning for nuking it from CI too

#

it wasn't just nutcrackers, in specific

#

it is any enemy that falls under the size of equal to or less than 1

#

so "small" basically

#

even if CI still had this behaviour restored it wouldn't affect the new hauler anyways

#

but CI does not have this behaviour anymore

drifting berry
#

because he adjusted the enemies size internally rather than reverting the enemy damage behaviour to like how it was in v55

tiny ledge
#

i see

drifting berry
#

indoor entities basically never go outdoors anyways

#

so it's not something he'd take into consideration for the base game anyways

tiny ledge
drifting berry
#

etern is not a vanilla moon

#

i'm talking from a vanilla context

#

and what zeekerss is working within

#

the only enemy that goes indoor/outdoor is the masked

tiny ledge
#

yeah

drifting berry
#

which had its size changed in v80 to allow it to be ran over

#

masked are now considered "medium"

#

rather than small like before

#

my v55 car can probably run over nuts and any "small" enemies because it uses pure v55 enemy damage behaviour (and yes it can gank the fox)

#

but i'm not going to change that, of course

tiny ledge
#

ig it is fair cruiser was kinda op against the outside enemies

#

you are still mostly invincible to them but you can only push them now

drifting berry
#

old cruiser being able to just instakill enemies at high speeds i guess is "fair" considering the rest of the car was just fragile garbage

tiny ledge
#

instead of being able to farm shotguns

#

it is fine for giants because they take multiple hits

drifting berry
#

vehicles like the hauler are more intended to work within vanilla constraints i guess

tiny ledge
#

and you risk them falling on you

drifting berry
#

same for my scanvan

#

and my v55 cars rear compartment

drifting berry
#

because this interaction never happens in vanilla

#

i completely got sidetracked on actually fixing anything

#

ack

#

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

#

i see the issue

#

with the haulers hood

#

omfg

#

it wasn't sending the hood state via the rpc

#

it was just calling it with

#

open: true

#

fuck sake man, this is probably an issue on my other vehicles

#

gotta update all 3 ig

update pushed
