Better Car Physics

Descrizione
This mod requires manual installation steps. You must do these, otherwise the mod will not work.
See installation section.



What does this do?
In a nutshell:
  • Better engine sound
  • Manual shifting (toggle in settings, requires ModOptions mod)
  • Several improvements to driving physics, including offroad driving
Watch the video for an example.


Installation (Windows)
You can install the mod into existing saves.
  • Close Project Zomboid
  • Subscribe to this Mod
  • Wait for the download to finish
  • Go to
    Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2909035179\mods\BetterCarPhysics
  • Copy the zombie folder and nothing else
  • Paste it into
    Steam\steamapps\common\ProjectZomboid
  • Overwrite all files (should be 24)
  • Start Project Zomboid
  • Enable the mod. Done!

Installation (MacOS)
See this guide

Installation (Linux)
Same as Windows. The steam folder is usually located in ~/.local/share/Steam


Uninstall
You can uninstall the mod at any time without affecting save files.
  • Deactivate mod in game
  • Close Project Zomboid
  • Right click game in steam -> Properties -> Local files
  • Click 'verify integrity of game files'
  • It should download 24+ files. Done!


Multiplayer
I only did some basic testing, use at your own risk
  • Should work on any server. Both server and client need the mod installed.
  • Anyone who wants the physics has to install this mod and follow the manual installation steps.
  • If someone joins without the manual installation steps, they can still join, but will have the vanilla physics.
  • The mod turns itself off completely if the server does not have it installed. You can freely switch between servers without changing anything.


Features
Realistic car engine and transmission behavior
  • Engine behaves/sounds much like it would in a real car
  • Releasing throttle leaves the car in gear
  • Engines have different torque curves. Vans operate best at low RPM, sports cars at high RPM
  • Lower gears produce more torque. Helpful for driving offroad.
  • Engine braking
  • Smooth gear shifts with rev-matching
  • Shifting into a low gear with too much speed will slide the car as the wheels lock up
  • Proper road friction and wind resistance forces

Manual and Semi-automatic transmission
  • Option to toggle manual on for all cars via ingame settings (Requires ModOptions mod)
  • In semi-auto mode, car shifts automatically, but you can override it using the shifting keys
  • Customizable keybinds for shift up (up arrow) and shift down (down arrow)
  • Change in keybind menu under 'Vehicle'
  • Clutch is always automatic

Smooth cruise control
  • With automatic transmission, automatically shifts + picks an appropriate gear
  • With manual transmission only controls the throttle, you can freely change gears
  • Vanilla controls: Shift + W to enable and Shift + W/S to increase/decrease by 5

Integrates with Sunday Driver and Speed Demon perks
  • Sunday Driver accelerates slowly, because they are scared of the throttle
  • Speed Demon shifts like a racedriver

Compatible with all vehicle mods that add new cars
  • I tested a bunch of the most popular mods, they all work fine.
  • If a car accelerates super fast, its likely because some mod boosts its engine horse power. See my explanation here
  • To modders: This mod ignores the gear ratios defined in the resources files. I had to do that as most vanilla cars dont have any, and the ones that were present didnt work that well. I created some logic that picks gear ratios based on engine type (generic, firebird, van, jeep). You configure this with 'engineRPMType' in the vehicle definition. The engine type also determines the max RPM, and when the semi-auto transmission shifts.

Wow can't believe I just found out about this mod, what a game changer for the driving experience. Even just for the audio and gear change how satisfying is that :spiffo:

I've got the mod to work!! You will have to use a FTP or ( SFTP ) file transfer thingy called FileZilla.

If you are using a Hosted Server like I am, the mod has to be manually installed as well.

The place where you got to manually install is in JAVA and the zombie file will be there.

Only for Web Hosted Server though
Leon 13 set, ore 5:54 
I do have the mod installed regularly on the server like a regular mod, however does not work.

I'm not entirely sure where to find the correct LUA files in the hosted server, with the limited amount of files that are available to begin with.

The host server I'm running with is Host Havoc, just in case you wanted to know. ( It also has a 72 hour refund option ) if you wanted to try and replicate my scenario.

@Jarrod interesting finds, thanks for figuring that out! Id figured the trailer stuff was a bug in vanilla .. ill do some testing later.
Neidmare  [autore] 13 set, ore 0:35 
@Leon The server only needs the lua mod, add it like any other mod.
Only the clients have to do the manual installation.

I'm using a hosted server but don't have access to the common files, would there be another way to manual install them? Or is there a war to put it early in the load list to make sure it loads first?

You know what, after just testing it, I think I might have realized what the issue is. Trailers! I had a trailer hitched to my car, and even with the car on and me holding the brake (spacebar) I noticed the tires very slowly turning. Then I got out, unhitched the trailer, and immediately the car stopped moving! haha

I even slept and spent a few hours in my house cause that's typically when I find the car has moved 10 feet down the driveway and into the fence, and sure enough it stayed there overnight lol

I hope this helps!

@Neidmare Do you mean spot the car moving, immediately quit the game, turn off the mod, verify files, and go back in, and see if it stops it from moving? Or just play around for a bit without the mod and see if it happens again? Cause I can assure you none of my cars have slowly slid off without me before this mod haha

I'm not sure what causes it. At first I thought it was cause I was parking too quickly and getting out immediately after shutting off the engine, but even if I hold space to stop, wait for the car to completely stop moving, then turn it off, and then get out, I will eventually see it slowly creeping forward. I don't have manual on btw.

@Jarrod Huh, interesting. If this happens again, can you try deactivating the mod and see if that stops it?
