[simfphys] LUA Vehicles - Base

Original Description from 2016:

After a long time i have finally converted my vehicle handling E2 to Lua and decided to share it with everyone.
This addon will give you a very new feel of driving a vehicle in gmod. Some of the features are:
Engine powerband, automatic/manual transmission with realistic gearing, Traction settings that reach from sliding like on ice to driving like its on rails, ingame vehicle editing (also works in multiplayer!) and a simple inbuilt lighting and emergency light system. (not as good and optimised as vcmod or photon though)

You can convert any Valve Script Car (this includes LW, TDM, SGM and all the other vehicles that use the prop_vehicle_jeep class as base) , SCars or simple non driveable models to this handling system.
Im not sure when the vehicle creation Guide will be done. However you can just take a look at the existing spawnlists here[github.com] and use them as reference. (The link also has an enginesound example with gearchanges.) They will regulary be updated and have alot of comments in them so there is only basic lua knowledge needed. BUT MAKE SURE YOU RENAME THE FILES BECAUSE YOU WILL OVERWRITE THE ORIGINAL ONES IF YOU DONT



Restored Description from 2023 (updated):

PLEASE READ:

Do not save or duplicate simfphys vehicles using anything else than the simfphys vehicle duplicator. No map saving, no gmod dupe, no adv dupe 1, no adv dupe 2. It is not, never was, and never will be supported. This is due to bad internal construction of the addon itself

Requirements:

• High or unclamped Velocity limit. If you are running DarkRP you will have to increase the velocity limit[github.com]
  
• Keep "gmod_physiterations" set to it's default value (4) and "air_density" set to default (2), as these vehicles are tweaked to work on a physics environment with default-settings.
  
• Tickrate set to atleast 33. Simfphys can work with lower tickrates, but handling and performance will suffer. Best results are on DEFAULT 66.66..-tick.

• remote controlling
  
• joystick support REQUIRES THIS ADDON[github.com]
  (server needs the addon, client the "gmcl_joystick_win32.dll" module. Read the README.md if you are confused.)
  
• weather support (skidsounds) for StormFox 2

• sv_simfphys_enabledamage
  - enable/disable vehicle damage. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
  
  
• sv_simfphys_gib_lifetime
  - gib lifetime, value is in seconds. 0 = Never despawn
  
  
• sv_simfphys_playerdamage
  - enable/disable players collision damage (in vehicle). 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
  
  
• sv_simfphys_damagemultiplicator
  - increase/decrease vehicle collision damage. default = 0
  
  
• sv_simfphys_fuel
  - enable/disable fuel system. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
  
  
• sv_simfphys_fuelscale
  - scales the fuel tank size for all vehicles. default = 0.1, 1 = realistic fueltank size (up to 3 hours of fullthrottle driving)
  
  
• lua_run local tbl = physenv.GetPerformanceSettings() tbl.MaxVelocity = 200000000 physenv.SetPerformanceSettings(tbl)
  - increase max velocity (topspeed) (doesnt work in darkrp. you have to edit the gamemode[github.com] for that)
  
  
• sv_simfphys_teampassenger
  - only allow players of the same team to enter the same vehicle? 1 = team only, 0 = everyone can enter

• Master Chris's Vehicle Pack Addon is supported by this addon. If you have subscribed to it the Dodge Charger and Mad Max Interceptor will appear in the simfphys tab under "Base"
  
• 2006 Alfa Romeo Brera from Need for Speed: Carbon ported by Red is supported and the car will appear under "Base" if you have subscribed to his addon
  
• Synergy vehicles are included
  
• a modified version of WinningRook's Dukes from GTA 5 is included
  
• a modified version of Prewar HL2 Vehicles (Props) by -rusty- and Renafox is included

• SligWolf for scripting help and teaching me how to rig/animate in XSI.
