The assets can be used in other mod overhauls that are purely 'non profit'. These assets must not be used in any venture that attempts to make money out of modding. If you use the xml code i came up with do the right thing and credit me for the float code. After discovering and making a vehicle float on water uncontrollably sometime ago in A17 I kept on going back to it inbetween other work I was doing and eventually made controllable versions of various in game vehicles both the pimps ones and some custom models by Guppycur and DUST2DEATH purely as proof of concept. Guppycur then kindly bought and rigged some custom boat models especially for this endeavour and we chose the flat bottomed boat version as the most suitable for the start of the water vehicles project way back in A17. A big thanks to Guppy for his time and his efforts with me in the early days getting the models rigged so i could apply my float xml code on the models. Still an ongoing work in progress but usable as an XML Only modlet (no SDX or DMT) so far. The Modlet does not change water blocks at all, so its going to be just add the xml modlet and off you go /float. ******* THESE MODLETS HAVE CUSTOM ASSETS AND MUST BE INSTALLED ON BOTH CLIENT AND THE SERVER TO USE THE MODS IN MULTIPLAYER ******* Boating Modlet Version 6 for A20 Boating Modlet Version5 for A19 Note : The Modlet works for A19 and may still work on A18 Also on >>--7 Days Mod Launcher by Sphereii --<< Boating Modlet Version 7 for A21 Nexus Dowload Boating Modlet Version 7 for A21 Gitlab link Additional Credits : 7 Days to Die Forum community for wanting water based vehicles.

Ragsy 2145 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) How to Use the Mod Launch Place the boat in water in a 'shallow water' area that is fairly level ground underneath, boat will rise to surface ready for use once placed, if you have no shallow water in your map then build a small launch dock like in this example kindly supplied by sinder. Then add fuel to boat and off you go ... The boats are economical on fuel so fuel will last long time. The boat will behave irratically if placed on land and will damage player made blocks, it will move about a bit on its own but is perfectly stable on water. Controls Space bar and C control the up and down angles (same as a gyro) which you may need to adjust slightly as you travel on water. Steer the boats with the A and D keys. If you let go of W and shift (Turbo) then the boat slowly comes to a stop, pressing S will slow the boat down more quickly this replaces Spacebar as the brake key. To 'anchor the boat' and stop it drifting away use C and Spacebar to level the boat until it stops drifting, useful if you have a fishing mod installed. General Information Boats can be picked up into inventory if you sink it at any point provided the 'inventory is empty', although be careful if you sink it too far away from the shores as it could be a long swim back or a long swim to recover the boats. Crafting The boats are craftable in a standard workbench with no progression needed as the boats are intended as an early game version at the cost of resources and actually finding a working workbench early in the game would be a bonus and allow you to make the boats a lot sooner. The recipe is simple and uses in game resources. ******* THIS MODLET HAS CUSTOM ASSETS AND MUST BE INSTALLED ON BOTH CLIENT AND THE SERVER TO USE THE MODS IN MULTIPLAYER ******* Modlet Updates Changelog: Changelog Version 7 1. Particles (water effects) now start when boat is moving. 2. Set up xml for A21 requirments (modlet not backwards compatible with A20) 3. Slight adjustments to physics in A21 and boat height in water. 4. Adjusted seating positions a bit more from A20 offering. Changelog Version 6 1. Re-scaled /resized both boats for A20 2. Added vehicle mods options - Cosmetic, Fuel Saver, Tank Size (vehicle speed is fixed so that mod does not affect boats and there is no Light mod option as boats have no lights) 3. Flatboat has 3 seats ( Two fixed and 1 extra via the seat mod option ) 4. Dinghy now has two seats ( 1 fixed and 1 via seat mod Option) 5. Added support to be able to fish from both boats with Telrics A20 Fishing Mod https://7daystodiemods.com/telrics-fishing-2-0/ 6. Slight adjustments to physics in A20 and boat height in water 7. Boats now have compressed textures for further optimization 8. Particle system is now fixed when entering the boat vehicle Changelog Version 5 1. Texture settings adjusted 2. Re-scaled /resized both boats 3. Added decorative cooler box to flat bottomed boat 4. Added a third seat to the flat bottomed boat (not tested in MP yet). 5. Depth masks applied to boats to stop water seeping effect and allow boats to ride lower in water for more realism effect. 6. Particle system added ...this can be toggled via the 'F' key (headlight function) 7. Added 'drag' colliders to bottom of boats to counter land use. Boats will stick in ground and steering is compromised 8. Added Localisation file 9. Added working propellers Update Version 4 1. Fixed momentum and now boats will slowly come to a halt and stop ... they stop quicker with pressing the S key 2. Both boats can anchor in water just make sure boats are level in the water using c or spacebar and they wont drift away ... useful for fishing mods and the like. 3. Fixed placing in water ..boats were slow to come to surface. 4. Boat stabilty improved and stopped the random quick sinking when tilted too much. 5. Added a second seat to the flat bottomed boat (not tested in MP yet). 6. Adjusted turn rates and speeds to more suitable levels (subjective). 7. Boat names changed for readability ... may effect modlets that reference the original names. Update Version 3 Fully updated to A18 compatible xml physics and boats now placeable in water. Updates Version 2 Fixed exit position thanks to DUST2DEATH for the info on his APC exit co-ordinates ... Download Version 7 Nexus download - will add gitlab link soon If your still on A20 this is still available Download Version 6 Modlet also available on the >>--7 Days Mod Launcher by Sphereii --<< Additional credits : ActiniumTiger for new texture for dingy .

Ragsy 2145 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) The 'Working TFP Raft' . Launch The Raft can be placed in shallow water with level ground underneath much the same as the latest version of the 'boating modlet'. You can also place the Raft on a flat piece of ground and as near to water as possible and launch from a steeper riverbank side as shown in the video. When launching from land move the raft down slowly towards water and turn it slightly sideways as you approach the waters edge and use the spacebar (tiltback) as you enter the water. Once in the water level the Raft and off you go. The Raft will behave a bit irratically on land and will wobble about a bit initially, on water the Raft is very stable. Controls Normal keys W and Shift for forward momentum and Space bar and C control the up and down angles (same as a gyro) which you may need to adjust slightly as you travel on water. Although once levelled the Raft is much more stable than a boat. Steer the Raft with the A and D keys. Note: The speed of the Raft is reduced as compared to the testing video and the camera distance shortened. If you let go of W and shift (Turbo) then the Raft slowly comes to a stop, there is no reverse on a raft although pressing S will slow the Raft down more quickly this replaces Spacebar as the brake key. To 'anchor the Raft' and stop it drifting away use C and Spacebar to level the Raft until it stops drifting, useful if you have a fishing mod installed. Crafting The Raft is craftable in a standard workbench with no progression needed at the cost of having enough resources and actually finding a working workbench. Finding a workbench in early game would be a bonus and allow you to make the Raft a lot sooner. The recipe's are simple and use standard in game resources... feel free to alter the recipe if you wish. Raft has 4 seating positions ... not tested in Multiplayer yet please let me know if there are any issues with multiple passengers. ******* THIS MODLET HAS CUSTOM ASSETS AND MUST BE INSTALLED ON BOTH CLIENT AND THE SERVER TO USE THE MOD IN MULTIPLAYER ******* Raft Removed for A20 until a fix is made on the waterblocks damaging player. If you are still on A19 this version will work for you fine DOWNLOAD : TFP Raft Modlet For A19 and A18 Warning : please use the correct version for the game version you are running.

Launch Place the Windsurfer on/in water in a 'shallow water' area that has fairly flat ground underneath Controls Steering is A and D as per vanilla settings ....mouse is for looking around only and has no affect on steering a water vehicle. Space bar and c control the up and down angles (same as a gyro) which you may occasionally need to adjust slightly as you travel on water otherwise you may sink, this version seems very stable as its a slower speed water vehicle. W is forwards and S is slow down/reverse ..If you let go of w and shift (Turbo) then the Windsurfer slowly comes to a stop, pressing S will slow the Windsurfer down more quickly this replaces spacebar as the brake key. Crafting an early game vehicle which is craftable in a standard workbench with no progression needed at the cost of gathering resources to build it, it will help early game if you actually find a 'working workbench' and allow you to make the windsurfer a lot sooner. Other Info To anchor the Windsurfer and stop it drifting away use C and spacebar to level the Windsurfer till it stops drifting. Particle system added ...this can be toggled via the 'F' key (headlight function) The Windsurfer can be picked up into inventory, if you sink it at any point, although be careful if you sink it too far away from the shores as it could be a long swim back.

xxx73 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Awesome, great work One thing, I find the boat to be very slow, but I guess that can be modified.

Ragsy 2145 Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Awesome, great work One thing, I find the boat to be very slow, but I guess that can be modified. Yeah it can be modified just change the max velocity, but was going to add an extra seat or maybe two at some point on the flat bottomed boat so its more of a transport for the many, but the new small dingy that is incoming is designed to be a faster single seater ride to satisfy the needs for speed we all have . Although actively Guppy is looking at making some water threats in the future and there is lots of idea's being put forward ... Sharks, crocodiles and a zombie seagul was suggested Ragsy !!
