Hey, My buddy and I just started using this mod and are really wanting to enjoy it. the problem is we cannot find wire cutters or electrical wire anywhere, we have searched every trash bag, dumpster, garbage pile we can think of. We even looked in working stiffs and the electrical store and found absolutely nothing. are we doing something wrong here because we want to use the mod but can't because of this issue.

We have been testing out this mod for hours and still have not found any wire cutters or electrical wires anywhere. We have searched every trashcan, bag or pile we could find or think of and have come up with nothing. our only 2 options are to go into creative mode and spawn them in or burn this mod off our list. Really sucks because there are some dope vehicle on here but we can build anything so we can enjoy it. Would probably redownload if problem got fixed though.

The mod has been out in A20 format for about 18 months and had a few hotfixes along the way ,   I did fix loot probabilities for the smaller essentials ?    Not had any others saying they cant find the stuff after those fixes and thats going back over a year in time .   You may have other mods conflicting with Vehicle Madness maybe.

 

The new A21 version is currently under playtest atm ,   so far no issues with finding parts for the repair/restoration tools.

is this out for a21 yet? in any capacity, testing or otherwise? would love to give it a go on my game, hard to play without the world filled with so many vehicles, man it adds depth. love your work

 

Thanks :)   

 

We are not far away from a experimental test version as Internal testing is looking good so far but theres bound to be something not 100% with first testing release lol

 

 

I have no external testers at present as was not going to ask until we finish internal testing,  I will let you know as soon as we finish the testing sessions.

DM me when you get to the external testing phase. I like puzzling through bugs, and I've been missing this mod.

Delayed due to a really really random bug with VM in A21  ....  currently trying to resolve the issue so hopefully will be out before A22 drops .

 

 

Ragsy!!

 

How much reworking do you guys anticipate will be required for A22?

I understand that we have no code for A22 so the answer is most likely "I have absolutely no idea", just wondering if you would hazard a guess at how much relevant code TFP's updating of the vanilla vehicles will touch.

 

Obviously I'm curious because it's possible VM will need an update again very soon after the A21 update drops! And it seems like you're not certain if that will happen yourself!

How badly broken is the current state of the mod? I'm itching to play 7 Days again and I can't without this mod, it's a staple. I'll gladly take it in its broken state if it's not too bad, lol

 

Well it appears to be ok after changing a few things ....  so a few smaller issues to resolve and will release as Experimental in the next few days . 

 

I appreciate all the kind words about Vehicle Madness and I was reacting in my post about the 'delay' out of frustration after all the work to get it changed over to A21.

 

Like many other modders have found this alpha changeover has been a challenge to say the least.

thank you for such a quick response! I'm glad that everything worked out; even though I don't do a lot of in-depth modding, I can totally understand the frustration of something going wrong lol. it has been a challenge moving from alphas. hopefully it won't be too bad with future releases.

 

looking forward to finally getting to play this version of VM, whatever bugs are leftover and all! i can't wait. :D

Vehicle Madness A21 Experimental Release v128b

 

Please bear in mind that this is an Experimetal release and is awork in progress still .

Quote

Beta 3.0 release feature changelog.

2. Vehicle spawning removed in this version as has become more problematic in later A20 versions and A21.
3. In light of the above added repairable bicycle block to find for early game and you will spawn in game with a bicycle restoration tool.
4. Added two small moped repairable blocks to spawns that can be restored if you collect the correct materials for the recipe and without any workbench requirements.
5. Added TFP Motorcycle repairable block to spawns that can be restored if you collect the correct materials for the recipe and the Restoration tool
   can be made in at the vanilla workbench when you get the required player skill level.
6. Added more vehicles to recipes
7. Added more repairable vehicle options to the world (now at 46).
6. Added additional seating via the mod option to a lot more of the vehicles in A21 (Seating Details in Entity Classes file).
9. Changed name of 'Repair tool' to 'Restoration Tool' to avoid confusion with vanilla repair kit.
10. Acid added to vehicle harvesting for Wasteland treasure perk as was missing in Beta2.0.
11. Added electrical wire to vehicle harvesting as you are gonna need lots of it.
12. All vehicles and wrecks have had a texture pass for the new A21 world lighting and unity updates to A21 physics and particle requirements.
13. All Vehicle Madness xml's updated to new A21 requirements.
14. Added lots more vehicle wreck options inc 6 new vanilla wrecks for harvesting (4x4 and Motorcyle Wrecks all 3 stages) Total now 140 variants.

16. Workbench compressor and vehicle lift added to recipes and can be crafted along with rachet(Ratchet)set if you cant find them in loot.
17. Removed the Tractor, Fire engine and forklift and replaced with new vehicles.
18. Removed blacked out windows from many vehicles where possible and replaced with clear/transparent /scratched / dirty windows.
19. Changed vehicle exit positions on a lot of vehicles to clear the body coliders on exit ...
20. Changed Physics on a few vehicles that were overly stiff suspensions and some have more roll on cornering e.g Big Vehicles.
21. Fixed a few vehicle placing issues where wheels were in ground on place or vehicle too high.
22. Recipe correction for Footpump, now requires a good battery and not a damaged one.
23. Repairables can be harvested for parts and are no longer fixed ornaments in game if you dont repair them .

Any chance you could at least re-up the old fix for SMX? I'm running into the aformentioned issue with a null reference when trying to build a restoration kit.

Of course, an updated patch that definitely works for the current SMX would be even better, but as of now, even the old file seems to be down.

Thanks

After changing the version tag in the mod.xml, it at least appears to work.

I can now build the restoration kits and tried repairing a car with it - that worked as well.

Thanks. :)

Thats good to hear ...I will update the SMX patch then and upload it when I release the new version of Vehicle Madness with the fixes to known issues above.   The new version wont break the game save as only unity files have been updated so will push that in next day or so .

Ragsy !!
