   2/5,

   Version: 0.91

   Had a look at the individual brake mod — the code's genuinely well structured (the GE↔vehicle split is clean, the comments are great, and mirroring the regular brake with math.max so the normal brake key still works is smart). A few real things though:
   1. ownWheelSide can be nil (the main one). In initWheelNames, local side = w.ownWheelSide — not every vehicle defines ownWheelSide on its wheels. If it's nil, newName becomes "brake_nil", and since nothing ever writes to electrics.values.brake_nil, that wheel stops braking entirely. Worth adding a fallback — if side isn't "left" or "right", skip that wheel (leave it as "brake") instead of tagging it "brake_nil".
   2. Debug print spam. setBrakeLeft/Right and the "brakes pressed" lines print every frame while a key is held (~60/sec), which floods beamng.log. Fine for testing, but worth removing or commenting out for release.
   3. Minor — no guard on wheels.wheels. If a vehicle somehow has no wheels.wheels table, line 46 would error. A quick if wheels and wheels.wheels then around the loop would make it bulletproof.
   The core idea and architecture are solid — it's really just the nil-side case that could actually break braking on some vehicles. That one's worth fixing before release

      Thanks man. I will take that into account. I have never done a mod like this before so i was testing the waters.
