also, i have some updates planned for this addon, but i'm currently working on an ArcCW addon, so stay tuned for that

say i should probably make a check to only work on entities that use both the vehicle entity + the correct model, because otherwise, every vehicle that uses jeep base would have incorrect gibs

@salt crab, that's probably because Sligwolf's vehicles use the same entity base as the jeep or airboat

suprisingly enough, this also has some sort of compatibility with sligwolfs addons

@unfuny1337 Not yet, also the darkness is there to help you understand and see that there is damage and how much damage there is

is there any option to disable car getting darker on low hp?

Due to my schedule being very tight, updates on this mod + my upcoming mod are postponed

I NEEDED THIS

i like it :)

Stay tuned guys, i may add some new features to this.

Also, i'm working on a new addon, and to give you a hint, it's ArcCW related!

cool

set_vehicle_health in console

How and where do you adjust the health for the vehicles?

alright, thanks

I uncompressed the textures for the jalopy gibs, now it's a bit heavier

thats okay, take your time

i'm already working on something else so i'm not sure if i'll do the update today

okay then, i'll see what i can do

yes

well, would you rather have like 20mb just for a damage mod?

it does?

why this addon makes the jalopy low quality?

e

also, the health differs for each vehicle, and also, some weapons are less likely to damage the vehicles, watch the demonstration video and you'll see what i mean

@Marshall, i will be adding an options tab for this in a future update

Doesnt seem to work for me, but dunno.How do you adjust the values for health without console commands?

Fun fact: Initially i wanted to sponsor my public sandbox server in the description of this mod in order to populate my playerbase a bit more (although i have enough friends alone that can populate it), but i've figured it'd come off as tryhardy so i didn't do it just to be clean and professional. I may do it eventually though, since this addon is used in there, and one of my server collections is already gaining traction cause of this mod.

Continue*

this is the best mod ever i have been looking for one of these 10/10 mod

uh not sure, lets contunue in dms

@maksumkolesnukov022 wouldn't the UV's of the texture be messed up though? Like it would be positioned awkwardly on those models

i could try apply a bit of a weaker compression and still save some filesize for convenience (cause it'd be stupid if a simple vehicle damaging mod was 20-30mb just for some gibs that no one will pay attention to cause they disappear in like 10 seconds), i just figured no one would really notice because HL2/Source's textures are somewhat watered down to begin with even at max settings

you can just add material that will fallback to original ep2 texture

well the thing is, the jalopy gibs contained duplicate textures of the ones from ep2 cause they're not the exact same ones, they're fine-tuned for the new gib models, so i did have to compress them cause they counted as *new* textures

you not need to compress texture as it is already shipped when ep2 is mounted

Anyway, thank y'all for all the support, it's pretty wild that this mod gained traction and now got on the front page within the span of just 5 days! I feel grateful. If you have suggestions for this mod or for any mods that i should make in the future, just let me know, and if it's enough of a practical idea i'll try my hand at it. I already have some ideas of my own but i think i can manage. Again, thank you very much for the love and support!

@A Cat, they are low quality cause they're not the same models from EP2, they are new models that are made from the parts of the Jalopy, and i compressed the textures to make the filesize of the mod smaller, is it really that noticeable?

This makes Hl2, So much Harder.

hl2 lost coast sweet of summer of 23

the jalopy gibs are low quality even though i have ep2 mounted

bro this so cool

@georgegiblets You mean the yellow car? That's the Jalopy from Half-Life 2: Episode 2, you need to install and mount that game onto gmod for you to get that car.

whats the other car shown in the video

the awesome sause mod

Also, i've already been working on some addons for you guys, one of them is a bit more of a complicated idea that was never seen before on gmod so it might take a lot longer to make, but until that one releases, i'll be updating this mod and release any of my other mods that i make alongside this upcoming one, so stay tuned!

well, it's probably cause i'm actually passionate and not an entitled insecure little bitchboy that pretends he's too busy to listen to the people using his mods, i really don't like it when people are so mean like that

i think you're one of the rare devs who talk with their comments i'm fine with this and its actually good because you can get what updates will happen etc.

also, ar2 orbs don't work on these vehicles, they just bounce a bit from the impact. So, only bullets, melee and explosives damage the vehicles. I may make it compatible with ar2 orbs but i don't know if that's a bit too much, let me know if i should do that

for now all this does is make it get combat damage only
