@rawgu I'll add it to my to-do list

Can you add support for Filibuster's cars with animations? For salvaging the special pieces especially please <3

Must be a different mod. This doesn't touch engines.
LukaOneLove Apr 30 @ 4:51pm 
I can't repair engines and collect parts from engines, I have all the necessary tools with me but the game shows that I don't have these tools, what could be the reason? I play on multiplayer
Weedy Apr 30 @ 7:05am 
@SP4RTAN Okay thanks I'll try that
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 29 @ 11:37pm 
@Weedy make sure everything matches what I explained in the pinned discussion.

For dedicated servers, I usually just set up everything using Mod Manager: Server with Mod Manager: Load Order Sorter then copy the servertest file to my dedicated server
Weedy Apr 29 @ 10:54pm 
@SP4RTAN It doesn't seem to load like it's supposed to. I add the workshop ID to workshop items and then add the Mod ID: VehicleRepairOverhaul to the mod list. It worked perfectly fine before the recent game update and I haven't changed anything on the server that I know.

@Weedy not working how?
Weedy Apr 29 @ 8:18am 
Amazing mod. Sadly the B41 version does not work for dedicated servers at the moment. :)
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 23 @ 8:07pm 
@Stepsheeesh you don't use Vehicle Salvage Overhaul in B41
Stepsheeesh Apr 23 @ 3:39pm 
Vehicle Salvage Overhaul is not getting loaded properly on B41.
When the mod is downloaded, the Vehicle Salvage Overhaul directory does not contain mod files, only the directories 42 and common

VehicleRepairOverhaul loads fine though.

I'm sure this has been said before, but do not put a space in Vehicle Repair Overhaul
Vehicle Salvage Overhaul when building a server. It should look like VehicleRepairOverhaul;VehicleSalvageOverhaul

@Luxxid the fix-a-flat isn't the only tire repair option added by this. You can use glue, epoxy, ductape, fiberglass tape and tire pieces
Luxxid Apr 19 @ 4:38am 
I lost my tire when I fix it using KI5's "that DAMN library" Tire Repair Kit. It means the only way now to repair tire is with Fix-a-Flat?
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 18 @ 5:29pm 
Now that all the features of the mod have been restored for B42, I can focus on tweaks, missing vehicles and other potential quality of life changes.

I'll probably start with adding salvaging options to all the parts of the vehicles I added in the last few updates to the B41 version as I completely forgot about it.
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 17 @ 11:16pm 
UPDATE 44...

Reimplemented individual part salvaging + wooden parts. Changes may need to be made to the output amounts or items (B42)

Added Repair and Salvage options to KI5's '80 MAN KAT1 (will be supported in B42 once it's updated)
Added Repair and Salvage options to KI5's '86 Oshkosh P19A + Military Trailers (were missing in B42 due to part name changes)
Added Repair and Salvage options to KI5's '92 AM General M998 + M101A3 Cargo trailer (were missing in B42 due to part name changes)
Added Repair and Salvage options to KI5's '92 Ford Crown Victoria bumper parts which were missing
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 16 @ 7:59pm 
@OttosTheName Yeah I'll probably tweak the spawn rates. I'm guessing they're super rare because of the crazy amount of new loot added in B42.

Maybe I could add a sandbox option to control the amount that it repairs.
OttosTheName Apr 16 @ 3:09pm 
I think this mod is brilliant. Makes cars last much longer and my brain makes happy chemicals seeing all those vehicle parts in better condition after some work. Especially a must for multiplayer where vehicles will be much more sustainable with this mod. Especially a must if you have extremely rare loot and shitty vehicles.

Just one thing though, I wish tire repair was more feasible. The Fix A Flat does only so much and it's quite rare on extremely rare loot. It feels a little bit out of balance compared to all the other repairs that are much easier. (It's probably realistic the way it is now, to be fair). I would love to see it do more repair % and find more of them in the world to offset the fact that tires just fall apart when driving offroad. Just my 2 cents though. Great mod either way :D
ExpectingHawk Apr 16 @ 2:37pm 
i got a dedicated server and since of recently the salvaging does not work anymore, everything is installed properly
chef Apr 14 @ 12:53pm 
Replying to the B42 question: I prefer the current right click repair.

Broooo combinations of items for repairs would be goated though. I love the idea. It's been hard salvaging parts that are all the same in B42, so it would be a super welcome change.
Thanks for all the hard work!

@Rusty #DopeRust

@hehehemann reminded me I could just make it a sandbox option so I'll probably just do that so everyone can just use what they prefer.

Also, from now on, any updates or fixes (if I have any) will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays unless a critical bug occurs from a game update or something. That way people know when to expect an update and can back up their saves in case I screw something up again.
Rusty #DopeRust Apr 14 @ 1:18am 
@hehehemann, @SP4RTAN, this mod is awesome and the future is even better, keep the awesome work going, you guys are amazing, have been using this mod since last build.

@SP4RTAN, regarding the question you asked, i dont mind the change for crafting menu, since i use this mod , so i figure it would be compatible, but if it stays as it is, i dont mind as well, just leaving my oppinion.

Cheers.
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 14 @ 12:18am 
Also, after several hours of trial and error, I finally fixed part salvaging for B42, so that should be coming in a few days.
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 14 @ 12:12am 
Okay important question: For B42, do you guys like the current right click repair system or do you want the repair options to be in the new crafting menu?

There's pros and cons to doing this. If the repairs use the new crafting system, you'll be able to mix and match what items you use for repairs. For example, if you want to repair a hood, it could maybe cost 5 items and you'd be able to use different combinations of metal items for the repair like 2 copper sheets and 3 sheet metal or 3 scrap metal, 1 brass scrap and 1 metal pipe. BUT you'd have to uninstall the parts first and the costs might not be as balanced as they are now.

Parts that can't be uninstalled like trunks and glove-boxes will still use right click repairs

Everyone - SP4RTAN  has been a blessing for this mod! Without him delving into the coding of this mod we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are for B42. Please don't be negative, its a free mod and we are developing just as B42 is developing. Please Rate it up!, It for real takes so much time to get the coding right.
MT bowl Apr 13 @ 1:50am 
no worries man was just wondering :steamthumbsup:
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 13 @ 1:40am 
Just to be clear one more time...

The B41 mod ID has never and likely will never be changed. If you're on B41 the only thing you need is "VehicleRepairOverhaul".
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 13 @ 1:22am 
@MT bowl I hope so. Tried to push a small update to clear up the confusion for people running B41 servers and it managed to break people's B42 saves
Lil Boogie Apr 13 @ 1:19am 
thank you for the clarity, I will continue to use the original B41 Mod ID.
MT bowl Apr 13 @ 1:18am 
you done updating this today?
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 13 @ 1:18am 
"VehicleRepairOverhaul" no spaces is the B41 version. Don't enable "Vehicle Salvage Overhaul"
Lil Boogie Apr 13 @ 1:15am 
So.. what mod ID do we use for B41 MP servers? We're in the middle of a big event tonight & i'm just trying to get some clarity before I reboot & you update again.
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 13 @ 1:14am 
@Lil Boogie Correct, and for B42 the mod ID is Vehicle Repair Overhaul which was causing confusion for people running B41 servers. So I changed the B42 ID's to VehicleRepairOverhaulB42 but that broke people's saves on B42.
Lil Boogie Apr 13 @ 1:08am 
the mod ID used to be VehicleRepairOverhaul with no spaces lol...
Lil Boogie Apr 13 @ 1:08am 
bro why did you change the mod ID?
chef Apr 13 @ 12:46am 
Appreciate the fast fix! Not sure if I lucked out or something but everything is working fine. I've had my game app running for about 6 hours, restarted it, then noticed it wasn't able to load my file.

I was worried, I thought my save was gone too after seeing the previous comments. Just had to enable the mod in the mod-list of my save at it was able to load. Thank you bro! :')
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 12 @ 11:35pm 
Perks of unstable
Jazz Shoot Apr 12 @ 11:33pm 
I disabled both the Repair and Salvage mods on my existing save and the save is fine I think, keep up the good work man hope you can sort this out.
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 12 @ 11:24pm 
Tried to help reduce the confusion for people on B41 servers. Clearly that was a bad idea.
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 12 @ 11:05pm 
Once you disable both of the mods your saves will work again
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 12 @ 10:50pm 
well shit. my bad. I reverted the mod back to the last update
mr peanut Apr 12 @ 10:47pm 
New update killed my save??? Tried reinstalling just get a black screen on start up.All my world folders are 0mb
JACKT4CK1996 Apr 12 @ 10:46pm 
@Shabal Nuevo I Had the same exact problem. Mod downloaded onto my 5 month save, Louisville COMPLETELY cleared out. Assumed No problems because of the overwhelming reviews,,, Now my save and all my backups of my saves are completely deleted! Nowhere to be found!!! Sourced It Back to this after 6 hours of troubleshooting... Insane Problem!!! Report this mod as I have! Patch this or remove from workshop!
Shabal Nuevo Apr 12 @ 10:46pm 
This mod updated or something and completely ruined my 458 day solo run, absolutely pissed. leaving a down vote and this nasty comment!
Dai-No-Okami Apr 12 @ 10:11pm 
@sp4rtan TY
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 12 @ 8:28pm 
Ah I see hang on
Dai-No-Okami Apr 12 @ 8:20pm 
@SP4RTAN Yeah, that’s the plan once the server owner returns.

In the meantime, I was mainly curious if there was a copy of the previous update 42 release from April 7th floating around that we could use temporarily. Doesn’t seem like that’s the case—I didn’t see anything on GitHub, and Steam overrides past versions automatically during updates.

Thanks anyway. The server owner should be back in a few hours, so they’ll handle the update then.
SP4RTAN  [author] Apr 12 @ 8:15pm 
@Dai-No-Okami make sure to restart your server
Dai-No-Okami Apr 12 @ 7:16pm 
Hey I have an active server that wont update to match your latest build for several hours is there anywhere I can find the previous version so that I can match with their list of mods?
