[B42] HDCP Immersive Vehicle Paint

✅ COMPATIBLE WITH STABLE BUILD 42.20

⚠️ This mod is only updated for stable builds. Unstable builds are not supported.

🔧 Turn Your Garage into a Real Automotive Workshop!

Are you the kind of person who can't stand seeing a scratched-up, blood-covered car in the middle of an apocalypse? Then this mod was made for you! With this mod, you can now sand, prime, and paint vehicles with all the finesse a true car enthusiast deserves!

Warning: This mod can be installed on both new and existing saves, but in existing saves, players might not find the items if they've already visited the common spawn areas.

Mod Loader: This mod should be loaded before all compatible vehicle mods.

📋 Requirements to become a paint job master:

• Read the Automotive Painting Magazine
• Be in a covered location (e.g., garage) - no air bubbles, alright?
• Wash the vehicle if it's covered in blood
• Repair the bodywork if it's damaged
• Use personal protective equipment
• Have a sanding block
• Have enough spray primer
• Have enough spray paint in your favorite color

Each car takes a different amount of time depending on its size.

Heads up: the process is loud - make sure you're in a safe spot before starting!

🔍 Where to find the materials?

Magazine: where you normally find other automotive magazines Sanding block: tool-related locations Spray paint: New: stores, storages, mail packages... Used: garages, homes, vehicles... even artistic zombies!

💡 Tips:

I'm not saying recycling should be a top priority in the apocalypse, but hey - why not earn some metal welding XP by cutting up empty spray cans with scissors? Spray paint boxes use a gacha system - giving you a better chance of getting multiple cans of the same color. Use your common sense to find sprays - I made the loot spawns as realistic as possible!

🚧 Future Updates:

• More windows = less time and fewer materials
• Window masking with newspapers and tape
• If you don't paint it... it rusts!

🧩 Known Compatibility Mod List:

• [B42/B41] PZK VLC (Vanilla look-like car pack)

🚫 About KI5 Vehicles Compatibility

KI5 vehicles are not paintable because they use skins, such as taxis or vans with decals. Therefore, there is nothing the Immersive Vehicle Paint mod can do in this case. I only provide a script that the vehicle mod author must implement to make their vehicle compatible — and the vehicle itself must also support repainting. Please stop asking me to make KI5 vehicles compatible. Only the original author can do that. If you want KI5 vehicles to be compatible, ask the creator of the KI5 mod. This applies to any other vehicle mod as well.

🧰 For modders:
