Weightless resource tanks

Description
This mod changes the weight of the resource tanks CONTEMPT to zero!

Do you ever wanted to move a full resource tank out of the way?
Never wanted to spend your time carrying little resource barrels around to empty those tank?

A scenario offers you pre-filled tanks which are unfortunately not assembled to the ground and therefore are completely useless?
(like in test-builds.. MANNED: Lunar proving grounds..)

This modification will help you :)


For making your own modifications..
Developers short modding guide:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/244030/discussions/7/35221031502869733/

nice video on youtube from the developers:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s5CQ8YL-sA

In short:
Unpack the game files as described in the video link above.

Start the game, go to MOD section, select NEW MOD, name it as you like
DONT upload this to steam until you are sure it is ready for public!!

It seems as if you can only unpack your OWN mods, but i am not sure about this.

"New mod" creates a new folder which contains other empty folders and empty readme files.
Path to modifications:
\Steam\userdata\**yourSteamIDNumberHere!!**\244030\local\addonpacks\**YourModName**

The file you want to change has to be copied to the proper location in your mod file folder structure.
Change the file, pack the mod, restart ToM, add your mod in the games mod list and test it.


The hard task was to find the correct file. In this case it was "hidden" here:
scripts\entities\controllers\takemetomars\buildingblocks\machine_resourcetank.h

After altering the script the "special" line reads as follows:
const float RSCTANK_MASSPERUNIT = 0;
That has done the trick: no mass per unit ;)

You may also try to change the other line in the script as well and see what will change:
const float RSCTANK_AMOUNTCHANGETIME = 0.5

@Nicogalax
Thank you for your faith in my modding skills..
but nowadays I dont even know how to update my own mods :pandastunned: ..
without reading my own hints posted *above*.

If you are really interested in changing the driving speed of vehicles you should try modding the game yourself(no offense).
A good start to do so will be finding the corresponding *.h file with something like "rover" in the file name.
Of course you wont find it in the "entities" folder I presume ;)
Sorry.

Hello! Your mods work perfectly well and it is convenient and easy to use, thank you! May I ask you a favor please? Can you do a little mod that would make faster rover, because it's really long to go through Mars ... Can you roll them between 30 and 50 Km / H And if you have neither the time nor the want to do the 3 can you just do the big rover please?!?!

@Nytmaster
Finally I found the reason of your crash..
The reason:
Stupid modder did NOT noticed change in "machine_resourceetank.h" for a year..
Shame to me. Sorry!!

But somehow I am innocent, i swear! :D
I was unable to produce those errors myself, as they only appeared in multiplayer games.

Fixed!

Are you still modding or will these mods NOT work...

A graphic-driver issue kept me away from ToM for some minutes -.-

I just checked the mod and it works as expected.
Do you "opted-in" into the development branch?

Do you got an update "lately" (today?)?
I have not got an update for ToM within the last 2 days. So I will have to wait for those problematic update to find a solution.
