I don't see any of those causing issues.

 

I might have to setup a server on my PC and try it out. But I have no idea what would cause it, or how I could fix it.

if it helps youre welcome on my server but not sure if that will provide the info you need

[bdubyah 86]

The only thing I could think to try with the sounds is to go back to the same settings the vanilla 4x4 uses as far as the pitch, fades, and stuff like that. Other than that, I think it's just server weirdness.

 

The fuel I honestly have no idea about. The vehicles are using the same xml as vanilla with just tweaks to capacity and whatnot. But I'm not really too concerned with this one as I'd disable vehicle pickup in a heartbeat if I could do it with xml. Lol.

Hi everyone, I´m a newbie. Just wondering if there´s any fix to the moddlet? I used nitrogen to generate the map, and patch it with Darkness Falls, then added the vehicles mod but it always displays an error that says "loading and parsing "traders.xml" failed. Also many yellow messages saying that the patch for traders.xml from mod "Bdub vehicles" did not apply. 

I´d appreciate a helping hand since I´ve been troubleshooting for 6 hours straight on my own lol

My modlets won't work with DF as they come. DF changes a lot of things from vanilla that my mods use. I gave Khaine permission to make a patch for the vehicles on his side, but I'm not sure what the status of that is. There is an included progression.xml to use with DF that I think should fix the Grease Monkey problems(literally just updated this on Git as I noticed a mistake with it). But I don't know what all he changed in traders.xml that makes it fail. I'm guessing loot groups or something, but I don't know. Might ask him where he's at on it. If someone gets it all sorted out I would be glad to include DF versions of the necessary files for people to use when running DF as well.

Thanks a lot for your answer. Much appreciated.

Well in reality I can play with your mod nicely myself and use all vehicles, but the problem comes when my friend tries to join my game or either make one on his own, he´d get a spam of non stop red messages about the same issue. Perhaps a way to bypass this spam and log into my game would be enough? Not sure if that´s possible.

The reason why I spent several hours cluttering up my mind with general information trying to solve this is because I think your mod + DF + nitrogen is absolutely worthwhile. Hope I can get this sorted soon  

If there´s more projects of yours I´m interested in finding out too. Thanks again.

This is exactly what i thought i should do, any tips on how and where to make the changes? I understand how the language works i just dont know where to look for the default sounds. I assume i would have to change the name of each sound i wanted changed in the modlet and then have everyone replace the mod with the one i teaked on their computers, correct?

Also the Fuel thing may have just been a lag issue, sometimes if im too quick with lights they dont stay off if i leave the car suddenly, this may be what happened when fueling then picking up the truck right away.

Thanks for your time, seriously

What I'm talking about is in vehicles.xml. It's in the gear nodes. You'll see a line of numbers and a sound name. I tweaked them a bit trying to get the sounds to be less obnoxious. Could try copying the 4x4's values and pasting them over the Hot Rod or whatever vehicle is having issues. Keep the new sound names though, so that will help isolate the problem. Worst case, you could go back to the vanilla sound names as well. Maybe even try keeping my fade/pitch values and changing back to the 4x4 sounds.

 

And I think if you change this on the server end, it should push it to the clients as it's just xml. I might be wrong there though.

 

And that sounds like it might be it about the fuel. I can't imagine anything that could cause that.

So something I noticed in the code for the default 4x4 is it has an accell command and a decell command, but only the Decell command is present on the hotrod code.

Awesome mods.

I have almost all of the vehicles built from this mod and sitting around our huge 5 survivor base with no issues from any of our players. i dont think they are going to have an issue that would be any worse than what the default truck would cause. 

[dani20 1]

Awesome,thank you.

No problem, im notthe creator, just a fan! 

Quick question are you running a dedicated server or are you hosting it on your personal machine?

 

 

[dani20 1]

I am hosting game for 4 people with 6k nitrogen map.
My specs are Ryzen 5 2600,16gb ram,ssd, rx 5700 xt

are you running the server app or just hosting the game directly?

 

[dani20 1]

Just hosting directly.

[bdubyah 86]

The vehicles shouldn't be any different than the vanilla stuff. I think only a few are higher poly than vanilla, and it's not by much. And most run pretty low textures.

@bdubyah

How would i adjust the vehicle storage capacity if i wanted to?

 

Edited October 24 by Dr. VonDuck (see edit history)

[bdubyah 86]

In entityclasses.xml, look for

<property name="LootListAlive" value="931"/>

on whatever vehicle you want to change. Look at the vanilla loot.xml at loot IDs 76-80. You can see how big they are there. If you want bigger, you can look at my mod's loot.xml at how to add a new loot ID. I'm not sure what the limits are on storage size. The xml says 90, which is 10,9.

My son and I made a POI that works really well with the buggy and dirt bike. We've had a blast playing with it. It has several alternating paths when hooked up to electricity to the motion sensors which run the drawbridges and vault doors, which are used to trigger blocks/alternate paths for a short time. It forces you to use different legs of the track. We recently just added new POI lighting for night racing as well.

Thats sorta neat.  Like a mario kart type race track.  Nice idea.

[bdubyah 86]

Haha. That's cool.

 

A few POIs like motocross tracks and other dirt races tracks could be cool to add to the AIO mod.

I started using the military Cars and they look awesome

To me the sounds are very silent for the MRAP and BRDM2, compared to the willyjeep.  

 

Was this done on purpose or is this still updating?

Also BRDM-2 floats on water

I must have my game sounds much louder than most. Lol. They are a bit quieter on purpose, as vanilla sounds get on my nerves being so loud and repetitive. I guess I can tweak them a bit so they are a little louder.

maybe its just my opinion, i love the loud sound of the vanilla car (and the willy jeep), if you tell me how i can make it louder that would be great
