[Mod] Car extension for StreetsMod (ALPHA)[cars]

[webdesigner97]

Rename the mod to "cars" :)

[jordan4ibanez]

I have a few ideas for you.


-Brake wearing, as in when you hit the breaks, it depletes your brake life.
-Gasoline, a gasoline life bar
-An oil life bar, when you turn the engine on and idle, it could wear away at the life bar at 0.001, and steadily increase the wear up to 0.050 at max speed
-Combining the farming mod, you could have growable flax seeds
-A still to brew the flax seeds into motor oil and diesel
-Tire wearing, life bar for that
-Possibly have node boxes, and you could physically assemble the car in the world with different parts, then when you right click with a key it becomes an entity. And when you need to repair something, you could either use a gui, or right click with a wrench to turn it back into nodes, so you can fix something.

Nice mod!

I still have an error for the streets. What should I name the mod?

That should work.

Those are great ideas! I really love (most of) them! I'll keep them in mind when working on it again :)

I'm refferring to your streets mod. I renamed it streets and I still get an error.
PS why doesnt the download just have the right name?

Please try this version. The downloads get different file names because Github always adds the main branch name to the archive name.

[Topywo]

streets-master is a modpack. Afaik it doesn't need to be renamed. Maybe the renaming causes the conflict with streetcars?

Hello It seems if i place more than one car down both will move as a drive, any fix ? as would like to use on my server.

[paramat]

Perhaps try my car mod, hopefully at least 3 can be driven independantly on a server, maybe unlimited i'm not sure.

There are other good car mods in the forum.

I wonder what this could have been.............

One day, I was driving in a melcar in a delicate city map with wool roads. And all of a sudden, well, I like to describe what happened next as my melcar blowing up, though there was no crater, but all of a sudden, I'm out of my car, the car has disappeared, and the entire street is on fire :( :D

[webdesigner97]

The car might habe disappeared, but it can never ever put the road on fire...

[ExeterDad]

Although that would be a fun feature in the right game or server.

[ABJ]

Well the street was set on fire the precise moment the car "blew up". And I totally doubt anything else present on the scene could have set that much of street on fire that way. So the evidence points to the car.

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

hough that would be a fun feature in the right game or server.

Talking about servers, suicide griefing on anarchy servers would be hilarious.

Hi everyone,

My kids like this mod but it would crash the server if they exited while still in a car and HUD would remain once out of car so I did the following patches. I have since found [Mod] Vehicle Mash [1.3] [vehicle_mash] and going to try that.

[im-poke]

i would like to make a police car addition.

When I enable the cars mod, the game will not even start. I get this error:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

I don't know how lua works in Minetest, but I tried replacing "streetscars" with "cars" on lines 6, 7, and 8 of init.lua. The game now starts, but when I place a car, no car appears. Instead, a pink block saying "unknown object" appears.

[Dragonop]

No, redownload and rename the mod folder to "streetcars", that's your problem, it's a known issue, people not knowing how to install mods.

I did that just now. I then typed in:
/spawnentity streets:melcar
and I still get a pink unknown object.

I also tried:
/spawnentity streetscars:melcar
/spawnentity cars:melcar
and the same thing happens (I get a pink unknown object). Is there another command I'm supposed to use?
