If you can make them go, you will be forever remembered.
These look really awesome and fit the games aesthetic well. Any chance you could make an avatar/natural selection 2 style mech?

Plans on adding some kind a car/suv, a truck, a shuttle, and a mech. My future plan is make them move or do something. :)

I suggest you use <overdraw>true</overdraw> and have the vehicle be slightly larger than the squares it occupies.

It would be possible to make them driveable if you could make the colonist attach to the bike, and make the bike a living character that is faster. Just a quick idea.

Post by: Zack_Wester on March 08, 2014, 06:25:04 PM
hmm I'm thinking on one thing its incredibly sheep and lazy but it might work... that is if there is an Teleport function.

set one car at home and have your colony place an car park here marker/becon.
well the coloniest walks to the car teleports whit the car to the marker walks away do its thing walks back to the car teleports back to the garage or what not.

As I said it need an Teleport function and you can wall in the car and it will still be able to get anywere your coloniest have walked to at least one time before ((to place the becon/marker).
Title: Re: [MOD] (Alpha 3) E-Vehicles (v.0.01)
Post by: Evul on March 09, 2014, 06:41:05 PM
i have some kind of similar solution in my head to.
You "Mount Vehicle" and the colonist gets inside the vehicle. And you can do this with more then one colonist with different vehicles.
Then you can right click and press "Go on expedition" and all the vehicles will teleport away and preforms a mission.

Example topics:
We found material (find food/metal/other)
We found a abandon settlement (find food/metal/weapons)
We found a injured person (find a injured)
We got assaulted (dies/injures/capture)

and other missions. ^^

If you add in a teleport function, it would need some form of cooldown otherwise it'll be far too unbalanced.

If I were to implement vehicles, I'd have them use power and store it onboard in a battery that drains constantly when the vehicle is in use. This would give them limited range and require that they be recharged prior to their next use, giving balance. This is how I'd do it:

- Add a research project to research vehicles. Project should require a couple of day's worth of research time (not sure what that would be in points?)
- Once research is complete, a new building would be available; the Vehicle Bay. The Vehicle Bay would require a sizeable amount of metal (400) and have a high draw (1200W).
- Once building is constructed, vehicles would be available. I would have; a small scout vehicle that is fast and fairly efficient but doesn't have weapons or storage for hauling; a transport vehicle that is slower but has storage to carry items, although it is also unarmed; an armoured vehicle that is the same speed as the transport but has no storage, but it does have a turret. This vehicle would require two people, one to drive and one to shoot (with minimum shooting skills required - +7 probably). I'd also think about adding a recovery vehicle of some sorts, and I'll cover why it would be needed very shortly...
- Vehicles will have an on-board battery that stores electrical charge (10,000Wd) and drains at a rate suitable for the vehicle (-5000Wd for the scout and 12,000Wd for transport and armoured) whilst it is on. Totally draining the battery will result in the vehicle stopping.
- Vehicles can be switched off so as to preserve power if they're currently sat idle (for example, whilst a colonist loads supplies into a transporter). There would be a warmup time of a few seconds when switching a vehicle back on.
- Vehicles would be charged at the Vehicle Bay and require that the vehicle is off otherwise there would be a high chance of explosion. They would recharge at the same rate regular batteries are recharged at (with the same conditions for them being recharged i.e. enough power).
- Being able to switch off the vehicles means only one vehicle bay would be required to service a fleet, although obviously having more vehicle bays would mean being able to charge more vehicles at once.
- Add research project to research solar panels that can be retro-fitted onto vehicles that gives them the ability to recharge themselves. The rate would be fairly low (+2500Wd, although this might vary on a per-vehicle basis) so that they're really only for range extending or recharging a vehicle that is dead rather than being able to run a vehicle infinitely.

So yeah, that's how I would do it. I pulled those figures out of my arse by the way, I have no idea if they'd work and they would probably need a lot of balancing. I hope someone makes this happen, be it Tynan or someone else. It's either that or I need to learn coding and do it myself.

You know Howitzers predate the American army and WW2 right?

Back to topic:  Cool mod.  I can't wait until they become fully functioning.  Might need to adjust the shadow effect for that car concept ;)

Post by: SurvivoroftheNoobs on April 04, 2014, 12:57:58 PM
Vehicals would be awsome in this game especailly if you can use bigger maps it would help poeple move around. Maybe in the future add cars and trucks with guns like tecnicals with 50.cals that would make raiders more of a threat. Even go farther making it so you have to research how to make wheels and car parts maybe locate oil on the map and make fuel. Then having to store it in fuel barrels that could also be used as explosives. Thats whats nice about rimworld right now the possible mods that could be made is just unbeleivable.

As for now it is only for decoration. But in time maybe in alpha 3 it will be usable. :)

I actually got the idea for my smallwalls mod because I wanted to try to make curbs for these..
Instead, I made 2 seperate curb items (horizontal/vertical), and the smallwalls can make a 2-wide curb for the jeeps. I'll upload it sometime.
You might remove the <staticsunshadowheight> thats what causes the blocky shadow.

Is there any way to alter a pawn's size/speed?
If so I can imagine that you could replace the pawn with a slightly larger/speedier one that doesn't have any "free will" of sorts that you must manually order around?

Just brainstorming here, Is it actually possible with the current coding options though?

Hey Evul even though this might be off topic I just thought of a idea.
Why don't you add a teleporter itself by making a teleporter buildable but then make it like a stockpile so you can rename it and then once you do that you build another one and name it and then you could add a function to choose which teleporter to teleport to. I was just thinking that because you were talking about teleporting the car instead of it moving.
