Experimental Vehicle Global Strength, Weight, Size and Other Values Edit - Discussion Thread

That private mod pack that mostly me and my friend Felipe are making (he makes the skins), it's not public so the name is irrelevant, we called it CBP skin pack back when it was still a skin pack, now it's much more

 

It's private until the demo, and it will be a long time until it comes out

 

So the 0.26 update did some changes to core physics apparently that helped me greatly improve the mod's stability, allowing for quite extreme weight reduction on some cars...

This works the best on the newly added simplified traffic cars, they can be scaled to 1% of their original weight. Normal cars can go down to 10% before the tires explode, that's still a lot better than before. Despite this extremely low weight there are no stress issues at all, but there are other interesting side effects, for example the parking brake doesn't work and the normal brakes speed up the car instead lol.
Sadly despite all of this resizing cars is still extremely unstable and the wheels will explode regardless. But it's still really cool to have ultra light cars now.

 

The changes in the update were made in a way to not break any mods (except they broke the Vertex as it used a really cheaty variable system), but introduced some standarization to the code which made more values scaleable. So I made use of that and now the mod scales everything in a more stable way.

 

Could add one of them for next update

 

The only solution is to not resize it too much or use a different car, I haven't actually tested how the Covet reacts to it after the remaster, but some cars take it better than others

 

It's already there but has an old name

 

It never did anything else to begin with. Keep in mind it's based on heavily WIP unfinished dev code
