Maluch JBeam rebuild

I have been working on some stuff related to the dummies and Stig.
Removed inside model from the driver dummy's head to prevent obstructing visibility in 1st person camera. You can add it back in with parts selector if you want. The other dummies still have normal inside models. But not much I can do with the Stig here I'm afraid.


Dummy legs are no longer locked in sitting position after falling out of the car. Works on Stig too.


Improved behavior of the beams that stabilize the dummy/Stig while sitting. The connection won't just 'snap' before they fall off the car anymore.

Maybe later there will be some customization for the dummies and Stig like skins and accessories, but not sure. I have more important things to do for this car first.

 

Currently Pendzel is making the new two-stroke engine (unless he forgot, he hasn't given any progress) and Plane Guy one config, baarry will do thumbnails and coyplatipus (loba04 on the forums) does the research. I'm doing the rest. For the previous update also AdamPLG, TAN, EozCompanyCZ, Xupaun, SKB, fufsgfen, Vapordude, HerbieTheRealBug, Turbo49, Felipe Maciel, TrackpadUser, PanHubert and Marf_ helped. Mostly AdamPLG, TAN, Vapordude, Pendzel and me did most of the job, but everyone put a lot of effort regardless and the mod wouldn't be the same without them.

 

Fixed wrong angle of all vanilla steering wheels which was causing them to clip with the gauge cluster


Added police spotlights, they look big on this car lol


Added Breda straight-through exhaust. Loud, sounds cool, backfires occasionally and doesn't remove much power from the engine.


Improved light materials a bit to have reflections

 

Added 'Hokeje' bumper extensions, modelled by Pendzel of course (but I added these steel circle things to them)


Working on the Steinwinter engine, model pretty much done, Jbeam to do (it doesn't have to be too pretty since only 1 config will have it)

Because this was totally needed, I added adjustable fuel to oil ratio for the two-stroke fuel, which affects oil starvation, and also the fuel tank weight slightly because of the difference in the density between oil and gasoline, and possibly the fuel efficiency a tiny bit too. (Car weighs 624.27kg with 99:1 ratio and 626.52kg with 1:1 ratio, this is counting the driver, weights are not final because transmission not added yet, not much difference but it's cool anyway)

And this is all calculated, not guessed:

Maybe some day the devs will add something like this to base game lol

Steinwinter engine done, it's so slow lmao, struggles to reach 80 km/h, I only have to add a fuel cap now and this config will be done, maybe will add some tuning options for this engine to see if it has potential to reach 100 km/h

 

Tuning stuff added to the 250cc engine, perforance long blocks, race oil pan, Weber rally carburetor options, 6-speed sequential transaxle and nitrous, even with all of this it has just 75hp and the top speed is 132 km/h lol


Added the fuel cap too


Mostly just configs stuff left to do now, + some fixes and 1 skin
--- Post updated ---
WIP new configs, they are not final and they replace some removed boring Italian configs that didn't add much variety

 

I also thought so, they shouldn't be brighter than turn signals, I made them 30% darker


--- Post updated ---
Added 140 km/h speedometer, will include it in proper configs later


Also added a modern rally config, with proper acceleration and suspension expected from a rally car, it has almost 100hp

 

Good idea, they have strict specifications so should be easy to design a config, but I probably need a new skin, I can't keep reusing the rally one

 

It's not real gold obviously, just some shiny yellow wrap, and it was made simply because nobody made it before, this is the main reason why people make weird modifications of this car lol

 

I think we are calling it 1.6, it's many fixes of 1.5 and some new content but not too much

 

Added 2 Maluch Trophy configs: Division 0 (very strict rules with specific modifications required to do) and Division 2 (looser rules with a variety of possible modifications, generally more power, better upgrades and less weight allowed). I tried to follow the real life specifications as much as it's possible with the parts available in the mod, not adding any more parts because that would take too long time.

 

Release will take more time than I thought, as I just learned that the next game update will remove the support for materials.cs files and this mod is full of them, I need to convert all of them to json for future-proofing so it won't break in 0.26
