Description:
(VVA) Vanilla Vehicles Animated
What this mod does?

There are many cool mods that add vehicles with openable doors, meaning the game can handle such animations.
But vanilla vehicles remain as solid bricks.
This mod fixes that. Vehicle models are reworked – split into multiple objects, and code added to display vanilla vehicles. As a free bonus of it – if a part is removed (or torn off) it would become visually missing, rather than tinted grey.

Why are Dash Roamer, Drive90s and other modded cars no longer animated?

Modded vehicles that were previously animated by this mod are being moved to a separate workshop item.
Build 41 version or the animations orphanage is here
Build 42 orphanage is currently work in progress.

B41 or B42?

Both. This workshop item contains versions both for Build 41 and Build 42.

Multiplayer?

Build 41 version is confirmed to work with multiplayer as long as Sync vehicle animations is also used.

Existing save – safe?

Yes. This mod only changes the way vehicles are displayed and does not interfere with save data in any way. It is safe to add or remove this mod on existing saves/servers.

There are many mods in this item. Which ones I should enable?
Vanilla Vehicles Animated

– Main mod. Nothing works without it.

disable passenger rendering (VVA_cullseats)

– (optional) – The main mod enables rendering character model in the interior. But animations for characters switching seats, exiting vehicle or aiming a weapon if a window is rolled down, are not set up, so defailts ones (for character standing on ground) are used, resulting in character clipping through vehicle roof. If this bothers you – enable this mod. It will prohibit my mod adding passenger rendering. But if some other mod also enables interior character rendering it might not work.

Standard Vehicle Upgrades Patch (VanillaVehiclesAnimated_SVU)

– (optional) – If you wand to MadMax your vehicles using armor from Standard Vehicle Upgrades, by default the armor would be rendered static. So an open door would clip through armor plate. Enabling this optional mod patches armor definition scripts to make armor animated too.

ApocalypticallySlowDoors (VVA_slowdoors)

– depricated – In Build 41 version using Fancy Handwork together with this mod could cause a bug with door close animation being unable to play properly because it was running too fast. This mod slowed all animations down to avoid this bug.

disable nascar headlight spawn (VVA_nascarlights)

– depricated – Build 42 specific. Functionality currently rolled into main mod. Added "plastic caps" in place of headlights on nasrac vehicles, that could be replased with actual headlights if character chose to install them.

Just Vanilla Vehicles?

No. Some mods that add reskins of vehicles based on vanilla models (i.e. Donny’s Company Cars) are also supported. And if you know such a mod that is not supported – please let me know and I would gladly cover it in an update. Also Vanilla Vehicle Enhancer (both 41 and 42 versions) are supported, including custom models for all vehicles that match enhanced textures with geometry.

Can a vanilla-model based vehicle mod hook into animations without requiring update to this mod?

At this point – I feel the code is settled enough, so yes. If you are making a mod that adds more vehicles that are reskins of vanilla models – they can be easily added as long as you don’t change shape of windows and headlights.
Also if your mod is not based on vanilla models, I am eager to help you set up the models and scripts to have animations on their own.

How many people are working on this mod?

One. Just me in my free time. If you want to support me – the best way would be to show up to my Twitch[www.twitch.tv] streams 8am till 1pm GMT on saturdays and sundays. I mostly work on another huge mod adding animations to PZK Vanilla Like Cars pack…
You can also support me on Boosty[boosty.to].
