If you use the xml code i came up with do the right thing and credit me for the float code.​

After discovering and making a vehicle float on water uncontrollably sometime ago in A17 I kept on going back to it inbetween other work I was doing and eventually made controllable versions of various in game vehicles both the pimps ones and some custom models by Guppycur and DUST2DEATH purely as proof of concept.  Guppycur then kindly bought and rigged some custom boat models especially for this endeavour and we chose the flat bottomed boat version as the most suitable for the start of the water vehicles project way back in A17.

A big thanks to Guppy for his time and his efforts with me in the early days getting the models rigged so i could apply my float xml code on the models.

Still an ongoing work in progress but usable as an XML Only modlet (no SDX or DMT) so far.

The Modlet does not change water blocks at all, so its going to be just add the xml modlet and off you go /float.

How to Use the Mod ​








Modlet Updates Changelog:

Changelog Version 7
1. Particles (water effects) now start when boat is moving.
2. Set up xml for A21 requirments (modlet not backwards compatible with A20)
3. Slight adjustments to physics in A21 and boat height in water.
4. Adjusted seating positions a bit more from A20 offering.

Changelog Version 6

1. Re-scaled /resized both boats for A20
2. Added vehicle mods options - Cosmetic, Fuel Saver, Tank Size  (vehicle speed is fixed so that mod does not affect boats and there is no Light mod option as boats have no lights)
3. Flatboat has 3 seats ( Two fixed and 1 extra via the seat mod option )
4. Dinghy now has two seats ( 1 fixed and 1 via seat mod Option)
5. Added support to be able to fish from both boats with Telrics A20 Fishing Mod https://7daystodiemods.com/telrics-fishing-2-0/
6. Slight adjustments to physics in A20 and boat height in water
7. Boats now have compressed textures for further optimization
8. Particle system is now fixed when entering the boat vehicle

Changelog Version 5
1. Texture settings adjusted
2. Re-scaled /resized both boats
3. Added decorative cooler box to flat bottomed boat

4. Added a third seat to the flat bottomed boat (not tested in MP yet).
5. Depth masks applied to boats to stop water seeping effect and allow boats to ride lower in water for more realism effect.
6. Particle system added ...this can be toggled via the 'F' key (headlight function)
7. Added 'drag' colliders to bottom of boats to counter land use. Boats will stick in ground and steering is compromised
8. Added Localisation file
9. Added working propellers

Update Version 4

1. Fixed momentum and now boats will slowly come to a halt and stop ... they stop quicker with pressing the S key

2. Both boats can anchor in water just make sure boats are level in the water using c or spacebar and they wont drift away ... useful for fishing mods and the like.

3. Fixed placing in water ..boats were slow to come to surface.

4. Boat stabilty improved and stopped the random quick sinking when tilted too much.

5. Added a second seat to the flat bottomed boat (not tested in MP yet).

6. Adjusted turn rates and speeds to more suitable levels (subjective).

7. Boat names changed for readability ... may effect modlets that reference the original names.

Update Version 3

Fully updated to A18 compatible xml physics and boats now placeable in water.

Updates Version 2

Fixed exit position thanks to DUST2DEATH for the info on his APC exit co-ordinates ...



Nexus download - will add gitlab link soon​

If your still on A20 this is still available​




Modlet also available on the ​

New Water Vehicle Modlets ​



Windsurfer Modlet    A20 Version is not available yet 

20210605012200_1.jpg​



Early game vehicle that is gone with the wind ! 

Launch

Place the Windsurfer on/in water in a 'shallow water' area that has fairly flat ground underneath

Controls

Steering is A and D as per vanilla settings ....mouse is for looking around only and has no affect on steering a water vehicle.
Space bar and c control the up and down angles (same as a gyro) which you may occasionally need to adjust slightly as you travel on water otherwise you may sink, this version seems very stable as its a slower speed water vehicle.  
W is forwards and S is slow down/reverse ..If you let go of w and shift (Turbo) then the Windsurfer slowly comes to a stop, pressing S will slow the Windsurfer down
more quickly this replaces spacebar as the brake key.

Crafting

an early game vehicle which is craftable in a standard workbench with no progression needed at the cost of gathering resources to build it,  it will help early game if you actually find a 'working workbench' and allow you to make the windsurfer a lot sooner.

Other Info

To anchor the Windsurfer and stop it drifting away use C and spacebar to level the Windsurfer till it stops drifting.

Particle system added ...this can be toggled via the 'F' key (headlight function)

The Windsurfer can be picked up into inventory, if you sink it at any point, although be careful if you sink it too far away from the shores as it could be a long swim back.
No storage option on this vehicle.

Jetski Modlet

vSFjhVr.jpg



A slightly faster form of water transport with two seats so take a friend .

Experimental work in progress version 2 for A20.

Launch

Place the jetski on/in water in a 'shallow water' area that has fairly flat ground underneath, if you have no shallow water in your map then
build a small launch dock, then add fuel to the Jetski and off you go.

The Jetski will behave irratically if placed on land and will damage player made blocks and is not controllable.

Controls

Steering is A and D as per vanilla settings ....mouse is for looking around only and has no affect on steering a boat.
Space bar and c control the up and down angles (same as a gyro) which you will need to adjust slightly as you travel on water otherwise you may sink.  
W is forwards and S is slow down/reverse ..If you let go of w and shift (Turbo) then the Jetski slowly comes to a stop, pressing s will slow the Jetski down
more quickly this replaces spacebar as the brake key.

Crafting

The Jetski is craftable in a standard workbench with no progression needed at the cost of resources by creating the required assemblies to build it,  it will help early game if you actually find a 'working workbench' and allow you to make the bath tub a lot sooner.

Other info

To anchor the Jetski and stop it drifting away use c and spacebar to level the Jetski till it stops drifting.

Particle system added ...this can be toggled via the 'F' key (headlight function)

The Jetski can be picked up into inventory, if you sink it at any point, although be careful if you sink it too far away from the shores as it could be a long swim back.
Best to not store stuff as Zombies now can attack water vehicles in game.

Changelog: Version 2
1. Adapted to A20 XML including some physics changes  
2. Resized Jetski and adjusted seat positions to match  - may add option later for modding in the second seat at the moment has two 'fixed' seats.
3. Vehicle Mods enabled - Fuel Saver and reserve tank , dye useable and will tint the flash trim only, rest of jetski has a custom texture.

Awesome, great work :)

One thing, I find the boat to be very slow, but I guess that can be modified.

Looking forward to the update :)

Yeah it can be modified just change the max velocity, but was going to add an extra seat or maybe two at some point on the flat bottomed boat so its more of a transport for the many, but the new small dingy that is incoming is designed to be a faster single seater ride to satisfy the needs for speed we all have :) .

Although actively Guppy is looking at making some water threats in the future and there is lots of idea's being put forward ... Sharks, crocodiles and a zombie seagul was suggested :)

Ragsy, will you please update the thread as soon as you release the update? I want to get it as soon as available, thanks! :)

As for the speed of the boat, as long as it's faster than just swimming, it IS my favorite feature!

 
Version 2 is now released and includes the second boat option the small dingy .... updated OP with the new link .

Again still WIP and will keep updating as things get improved along the way ...

Enjoy

Ragsy !!

 
Updated to A18 compatible xml physics and happily boats now are placeable in water.








More to come !

Happy Boating in A18
