i love you thank you for fix. glad that we can play on B43.12 now 🙏

Maybe I'm some kind of idiot, but the mod doesn't work on my 42.13 :-(

Incredible that you've update your mod so quickly! However, I still want to play on 42.12 until all other mods catch up. But with your mod updated to 42.13 I obviously can't use it with 42.12. Is there a way for you to include the 42.12 files?

friend. I understand that this is not about the topic of modification. After updating to version 42.13, the game does not start at all. It gives the following message:
sorry, an unexpected error occurred.
the following file may containt userful information about this errror:
C:\Users\max\Zomboid\console.txt

Mod has been updated for 42.13

Important: :To update, delete the zombie folder from the game folder , then copy it from the mod folder as usual.
I reduced the file amount, its only 3 files now, and you dont need to overwrite.

There are some known bugs:
- Reverse lights dont work
- Tires dont screetch when braking
I'll address those in a future update.

Well as of this morning its now version 42.13, so that will be the issue as of today

I don't know, I updated this version to 42, it's unstable and the mod doesn't work for me, it gives an error, although it worked a month ago, I already changed the wallpaper.

@VIZOR unstable is 42, stable is 41. The most current version of unstable is 42.12.3, and that version will work with this mod. As does the stable version 41. I hope that helps

Is there a stable 42 build on Steam?

Unstable version, should I update to the latest stable version?

@ViZOR Could you double check that you are on the beta 42 unstable branch?

If the options menu doesnt show any options for Better Car Physics then I suspect the error is something with mod options, that usually happens when trying to use the beta 41 build with the 42 mod.

@Neidmare It gives a red error, the mod is installed, the control buttons appear, but in the game itself the mechanics do not work, I seem to remember there was a button to switch between auto and mechanics, but it is gone. It does not work, I understood this precisely on the latest update 42 build. Sorry for my English, I hope you understand me.

@Neidmare Thank you very much for that very comprehensive explanation. :D

@ViZOR What exactly does not work? Do you get crashes or are the physics not changed? Make sure to enable the mod for your savegame via load save -> click savegame -> mods (bottom right) -> enable mod

@Vinter Nacht The mod deactivates itself if you have it installed and play on a server which does not have it. You will have the same vanilla physics as the other players on the server.

If a player joins a server that has the mod installed, but the player does not, they will get an ingame popup telling them to copy the zombie folder to install the mod.
The popup can be safely ignored, the player will then simply not have the mods' physics.
I tested this in beta 41 a while back. I found modded and vanilla players can play together without issues on a modded server.

@I Love Sky's Feet Too <3 The mod is not compatible with Offroad Go Brr. However, Better Car Physics also improves offroad driving, so it shouldnt be required.

I've just tested the mod on the latest Project Zomboid Version (42.12.3), it works fine. I deleted the zombie folder and verified the game files. Then I copied the mods' zombie folder over, 27 files were overwritten.

I've updated the installation instructions with the 27 files now.

If you're getting crashes, make sure you dont have any other car related java mods installed, like Realistic Car Physics. Since the mods overwrite the same files, they will not work together.

So what happens if this is used serverside? Does the player need to replace those files? Will that impact them if they play on other servers without that mod?

I did everything as written in the description for build 42, the mod doesn't work

Thanks for the heads up everyone, I'll have a look at updating the mod this week.

Hello. Could you tell me what to do with this mod? After the latest game update, it stopped working. I tried reinstalling it, and now when I copy the folder from the installation instructions, instead of the 28 files described, it replaces 4,000 of them. I get multiple errors and a crash when I launch the game.

this mod doesn't work on the latest build project zomboid

is this mod compatible with "offroad go brr"?

I overwrote only 27 files too. Now I got the same feeling I get when I finish working on top of the engine and I've got a bolt left over. ♥♥♥♥.

@pietrasx4 Yeah, it did the same to me. Now I can't get rid of the feeling that something ain't right

it overwrote only 27 files... like being left with one spare screw after assembling smth

@aliiidelfani Do you have any other car mod installed? Better car physics alone wouldn't do this.

Is this mod compatible with the Knox Event NPC's mod since they seem to change some of the same files?

Hi buddy, great mod I love it. Is there a possibility to make it compatible with mod Project summer Car ?

love the mod! but every car becomes a missile after installing it, any way to reduce HP for all cars by about 30% or so?

Hey, using this mod on multiplayer and co-op log says its stuck on updating this mod, unsure what to do as reinstalling didnt work

My hero Neidmare praise be. I'm so glad I did not drink this bleach

Probably changing the path. Looks like the "zomboid" is not copying the contents to "zomboid" folder.

Try this. Made with ChatGPT


@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

for /f "tokens=2*" %%A in ('reg query "HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam" /v SteamPath 2^>nul') do set SteamPath=%%B

if not defined SteamPath (
echo Steam installation not found!
pause
exit /b
)

set "SteamPath=%SteamPath:\=/%"

set "SourceFolder=%SteamPath%/steamapps/workshop/content/108600/2909035179/mods/BetterCarPhysics/zombie"
set "DestinationFolder=%SteamPath%/steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid"

echo Steam folder: %SteamPath%
echo Source: %SourceFolder%
echo Destination: %DestinationFolder%
echo.

if not exist "%SourceFolder%" (
echo Source folder not found!
pause
exit /b
)

xcopy "%SourceFolder%" "%DestinationFolder%\zombie" /E /Y /I

echo.
echo ✅ The "zombie" folder has been successfully copied to Project Zomboid!
pause

random idea but would you be allowed to include a .bat file that copies the folder automatically? im not sure if you could do it with a bat file but im pretty sure you could

I took a closer look, and yes, reversing is also affected.
Forward speed is added to reverse speed!

@Prof.Liebstrumpf It should affect backwards driving as well, the physics are either on or off, no in between. IIRC vanilla backwards driving was quite fast.

Yeah. But why it's affecting only forward driving and not backwards?

@Prof.Liebstrumpf Thats interesting - The physics get activated on the 'onEnterVehicle' event. My guess is that "Project RV Interior" doesn't fire this event when you use the teleport. That would explain why it works when you exit / enter afterwards.

Oh.. And the manual gear shifting stops working too, until i reenter the car. lol.

Just saying.

I encountered to a strange "bug" with the "Project RV Interior" Mod.
If i sit in the car and teleporting into the RV and BACK, the speed of the car going to be "default". Have to leave the car and enter again to get the speed of this mod back.
It's only affecting the forward driving speed and not backwards, and NO BUG ERRORS.

I noticed it with the vans on driving on grass. That's strange. 🤨

Is there some way to get version for 42.11? I accidentally copied the updated version of mod, now the game crashes on loading screen. Really don't want to throw my 4 month survival in trash.

I validated my files before copying the zombie folder and it is working without issue. Thank you for the timely and effective update.

idk if anyone else has the same issue, but I put the new modded B42 zombie folder over onto, well, zombie, and got CTD on load

worked again after validating, so im thinking its either this, or a conflict with another modi have installed rn, just as a heads up

Update? Wow, nice! I like that mod really! ^.^

Thank you for the update Neidmare <3

I drive a manual in real life (as do most people in my country), but in games I'm 100% into automatics. But I absolutely love that, unlike in most driving games besides simulators, you made it like real life where you can change gears even with automatic.

praise be, the lord has graced us with an update
imanige me praying on my knees over here <3

Mod is updated for 42.12. Copy the zombie folder again as usual.

Happy driving everyone and thanks for your patience and kind words!

yes it is a great mod and honestly i now just cant play without it, will wait for the update, ty <3
