Experimental Vehicle Global Strength, Weight, Size and Other Values Edit (WORKS FOR MODS!) 7.4

For this update I tried something different, and I'm not sure if it went really well. I decided to mess with some LUA, and add options to change the car's weight and size in real time. To use them you have to assign some key bindings that you can find at the bottom of the list like with my gun mod.


In order to use them, you need to equip a new part under the license plate slot:


They work by increasing/decreasing the car's size and weight instantly when you press a button. You can set in Tuning menu by how much, but too high values will definitely be super unstable.


They are overall janky and unstable but idk how to make them better. Too small weight will always break the car, when it starts vibrating then you should stop decreasing it. Weight edit should display the current car weight on each button press, but it doesn't count fuel weight, and for some reason it refuses to show it when you change weight by too much. Both size edits do weird stuff to tires, it's recommended to only use them when driving because they will deform tires when static, and generally for some reason they both make the tires bigger relative to the car. So generally this is an experiment that has only partially succeeded.

Other changes:

• Added a new slot that lets you use the engine edit slots in this mod without using engine swap or engine edit:
  
• Added engine damage slot that lets you have engine damage without having to use engine edit to set to durability to 0:
  
• Additionally the blown head gasket makes your car smoke a lot, like it does when you normally damage head gasket due to overheating:
  

Known issue now: Some engine sound swaps don't work, I can't fix it, it's a problem with the game.
