Part 1 of 3: Introduction & Overview 🚀

Hey Sledders!

We're thrilled to announce SledTuner2.0 with GUI – the ultimate mod that lets you fine‑tune every aspect of your sled’s performance and physics right in-game! This mod gives you unprecedented control over virtually every parameter that governs your sled’s behavior, allowing you to customize everything from handling and throttle response to suspension, snow interaction, and even ragdoll effects for your driver.

What Is SledTuner2.0 with GUI? đź”§
SledTuner2.0 with GUI is a comprehensive tuning mod that provides an in‑game interface for adjusting a wide array of parameters. It lets you modify settings such as:

Handling & Steering:
Adjust steering sensitivity on soft and trail terrain (leanSteerFactorSoft & leanSteerFactorTrail) so your sled responds just the way you like it.

Throttle & Engine Response:
Tweak the throttle exponent for smoother or more aggressive acceleration, fine‑tune RPM sensitivity (both up and down), and set clutch engagement parameters (minThrottleOnClutchEngagement, clutchRpmMin, clutchRpmMax). You can also toggle the engine and headlights.

Safety & Recovery:
Control drowning depth/time to set thresholds for when the sled (or driver) “drowns” and manage respawn and stuck behaviors.

Power & Torque:
Adjust torque factors (for roll and pitch) and overall engine torque to directly impact acceleration, top speed, and wheelie thresholds.

Base Sled Configuration:
Modify geometry and weight transfer under the SnowmobileControllerBase (e.g., skisMaxAngle, driverZCenter, enableVerticalWeightTransfer, trailLeanDistance, switchbackTransitionTime).

Track & Powertrain Settings:
Change engine power settings (power, powerEfficiency), braking and friction (breakForce, frictionForce), and track/drivetrain properties (trackMass, drivetrainMaxSpeed1, drivetrainMaxSpeed2). You can also influence how the sled interacts with snow (snowPushForceFactor, snowSupportForceFactor, maxSupportPressure, lugHeight, pitchFactor, snowOutTrackWidth).

More details on the rest of the features will be covered in the next parts. Stay tuned for installation instructions and a deep dive into how SledTuner influences game mechanics!

Happy Sledding! ❄️🏂

Part 2 of 3: Installation & Usage Instructions 📥🎮

Installation Instructions:

Download the Mod:
Head over to the Sledders Discord server and download the latest SledTuner2.0 with GUI release from the mod channel.

    Note: Ignore any warnings about an "unknown publisher" and download anyway.

Install the Mod:
Place the mod files in your game’s Mods folder.
Pro Tip: For the best results, it’s recommended to use this GUI version alongside the newest non‑GUI version of SledTuner. They do different things and work together to create a more enjoyable, customizable experience.

Launch the Game:
Start your game as you normally would—the mod will load automatically along with your other mods.

How to Use SledTuner2.0 with GUI:

Opening the GUI:
Press F2 to toggle the SledTuner menu, which appears in the top‑right corner of your screen.

Navigating the Interface:
    Title Bar:
    The title bar shows the mod name, a Help button (labeled “?”), and the window control buttons (minimize, maximize, close).
    Help Panel:
    Click the "?" button to drop down a help panel that details usage instructions and hotkeys (e.g., F2 to toggle the menu, F3 to refresh fields). In minimized mode, clicking the help button will restore the window and display the help info.
    Parameter Adjustment:
    Use sliders, text fields, and + / – buttons (for precise increments) to adjust the various parameters.
    Action Buttons:
    The Load, Save, Reset, and Apply buttons let you manage your configuration.
    Toggle Options:
    Switch between Manual Apply (where changes aren’t applied automatically) and Tree View (for a hierarchical display of parameters).
    Utility Functions:
    Use additional buttons to toggle ragdoll behavior and the tree renderer.

Resizing & Dragging:
The GUI window is fully draggable and resizable so you can customize its position and size to your liking.

In the next part, we’ll break down exactly which game mechanics are influenced by SledTuner and what each parameter does.

Part 3 of 3: Game Mechanics Influenced & Final Thoughts 🔥💡

Game Mechanics Influenced by SledTuner2.0 with GUI:

Handling & Steering:
    Steering Sensitivity:
    Adjust leanSteerFactorSoft and leanSteerFactorTrail to change how your sled responds to different terrains.

Throttle & Engine Response:
    Throttle Exponent & RPM Sensitivity:
    Customize throttleExponent, rpmSensitivity, and rpmSensitivityDown for smoother or more aggressive acceleration.
    Clutch Engagement:
    Use minThrottleOnClutchEngagement, clutchRpmMin, and clutchRpmMax to fine‑tune how the clutch behaves during gear shifts.
    Engine & Headlights:
    Toggle isEngineOn and isHeadlightOn for control over engine operation and lighting.

Safety & Recovery:
    Drowning Mechanics:
    Set drowningDepth and drowningTime to manage how the game handles situations where the sled is submerged.
    Respawn & Stuck Indicators:
    Adjust canRespawn, isStuck, and hasDrowned to influence in‑game recovery.

Power & Torque:
    Torque Factors:
    Fine‑tune driverTorgueFactorRoll, driverTorgueFactorPitch, and snowmobileTorgueFactor to affect acceleration, top speed, and even the initiation of wheelies.

Base Sled Configuration:
Under SnowmobileControllerBase, adjust:
    Ski Angles & Driver Position:
    skisMaxAngle and driverZCenter modify the geometry for better handling.
    Weight Transfer:
    enableVerticalWeightTransfer and trailLeanDistance help balance your sled.
    Switchback Timing:
    switchbackTransitionTime sets the duration for smooth transitions during sharp turns.

Track & Powertrain Settings:
In MeshInterpretter, modify:
    Engine Power & Efficiency:
    power and powerEfficiency dictate the raw engine output.
    Braking & Friction:
    breakForce and frictionForce control deceleration and surface grip.
    Drivetrain & Track:
    Adjust trackMass, drivetrainMaxSpeed1, and drivetrainMaxSpeed2 for a customized power delivery, while snowPushForceFactor, snowSupportForceFactor, maxSupportPressure, and lugHeight determine how the sled interacts with the snow.
    Pitch & Track Width:
    pitchFactor and snowOutTrackWidth further refine handling and stability.

Snow Surface Physics:
With SnowParameters, tweak:
    Snow Normals & Friction:
    snowNormalConstantFactor, snowNormalDepthFactor, and snowFrictionFactor affect traction and sliding on various snow conditions.

Suspension & Stability:
Under SuspensionController, adjust:
    Simulation & Anti-Roll:
    suspensionSubSteps and antiRollBarFactor ensure smooth suspension behavior.
    Auto-Turn & Rigidity:
    skiAutoTurn, trackRigidityFront, and trackRigidityRear provide stability without sacrificing agility.

Gyroscopic Stabilization:
The Stabilizer settings (trackSpeedGyroMultiplier and idleGyro) help maintain balance during motion.

Ragdoll Behavior:
The RagDollCollisionController parameters (ragdollTreshold and ragdollTresholdDownFactor) let you customize when and how the driver goes ragdoll after impacts.

Rigidbody Dynamics:
Finally, adjust the core physics with Rigidbody parameters like mass, drag, angularDrag, useGravity, and maxAngularVelocity.

it is supposed to save the configurations for every snowmobile too but it doesn't right now. has to do with the way I'm looking for the game object i am sure.

prisma nexus
#

also, is it supposed to do something when i apply changes?

#

like is that supposed to turn on and off?

lunar summit
#

yea, that applies the settings. there is supposed to be a save/ load/ reload reset functionality .but i am working on this i just started this project yesterday lol

@lunar summit it's not seeming to be working, I was able to pull up the name of the sled at first but then loaded into a multiplayer game and now it just tells me unknown snowmobile
