Vehicle Tuning [13.0+]

Vehicle Tuning

Vehicle Tuning lets players improve stats of their vehicles, such as top speed or fuel economy. For this it adds a "tuning bench", used to create vehicles. It also adds a new specialty called "vehicle handling" under the scientist profession, which provides calorie reduction bonuses when driving.

Installation

Unzip the mod file into the Server/Mods folder.

You should have a VehicleTuning folder along with files inside of the pre-existing UserCode folder.

Tuning System

The tuning system works by rating all the tunable values from -10 to 10, with 0 being neutral. If the max speed is increased to 5 it requires that an equivalent amount is taken away from another stat, in this case it could be 3 from co2 emission and 2 from fuel consumption. When the value is increased it improves the vehicle in that regard, lowering the co2 emission score would increase the amount of co2 emitted.

Players can also gain bonus points from having the vehicle handling profession, each level providing 1 free point to be allocated.

The stats available to be tuned are currently:

• Max Speed
• Fuel Consumption
• Co2 Emissions
• Storage Capacity
• Decay Rate
• Road Multiplier

Vehicle Handling

Vehicle handling provides calorie reductions when driving and points for tuning vehicles, it also provides bonus points when tuning vehicles.

Vehicle handling experience can be gained by driving vehicles.

Configuration

All values can be configured in the VehicleTuning.eco file

Each vehicle has its own unique ranges that apply to how much they can be tuned by, including the ability to disable them by setting variance to 0

For more information visit the GitHub ReadMe

These values will only update on server restart

Compatibility

Due to the limitations of the eco mod compile order, this mod overrides a significant number of classes related to vanilla eco. 

As a result if a mod:

a) Doesn't use a .dll file for its code and instead is comprised of .cs and .override.cs files

AND

b) Overrides or references any vehicles overridden by this mod

It WILL NOT be compatible.

If you start your server and get "ClassNotFound" errors, it will not be compatible with this mod.

For Mod Makers

You can depend on this mod and let your custom vehicles be tunable! More information is available on the GitHub.

TODO:

• Laws for restricting what / how far vehicles can be tuned
• Custom Shop Handling for selling tuned vehicles
