Push Cars by Hand (SP-Only)

Description
Allows pushing cars around by hand, right click on a car and choose which side to push it from.

-- ONLY WORKS IN SINGLE PLAYER CURRENTLY --

-- Usage --

Right click on car and choose Push Vehicle from the menu then choose where to push it from.
Pushing from the front or rear grants a small bonus to pushing force and lowers fatigue penalties.

- Notes --

- Pushing a car gives a very small amount of Strength/Fitness XP.
- Pushing cars will burn calories.
- How much fatigue/endurance pushing a car costs is down to your fitness.
- You get a small bonus to shove distance based on your strength.
- There are minimum strength requirements that vary slightly based on the vehicle weight.
It's essentially at least 3 strength to consider pushing then +1 str requirement per roughly 800kg of vehicle.
The baseline five strength can shove basically any vanilla car around and only really scrawny characters will have issues.

-- Known Issues --

- Sometimes when doing multiple pushes in a row, the character will get stuck in path-finding. Reposition yourself and try again.
- Occasionally the sub-menus on Push From Left or Push From Right get stuck on screen, they can dismissed with a click.
- The push force is sometimes a little unstable between pushes, I suspect it's the bullet physics lib being strange.

-- Additional Credits --
Thanks to Aiteron's Better Towing Mod for some borrowed math on force vectors, all other code original

@langford i'm in a similar situation too.. xD I hit another car and that car ended up leaning onto my car. Can't back off and can't drive foward :(

Could really use this on B42 right now, I'm in the middle of nowhere and managed to flip my car onto its side :( I know I know I shouldn't be allowed to drive

Hopefully this mod will be updated for Build 42, it is one of my favorite mods. Please, when possible, I would love you to update it :)

why no multiplayer?

That stamina burn makes this mod completely useless for me. Only 4 or 5 pushes went from completely full stamina to completely empty with a 7 in fitness.

Hey! I've not really had a chance to use this properly since I've subscribed, not for lack of trying though!

I'm wondering, is this compatible with "Shark and Cytt's Kentucky Car Overhaul"?
Cause that plus a bunch of singular car mods is all I have in my game (I've removed the vanilla cars)
I found that the Out of Gas mod used to work fine with Filibusters mod, but since I've recently changed over to KCO, I've completely lost the ability to push stuff, and currently with my 10YL modlist, I'm really need that ability.

So yeah, do you know of any incompatibilities or the like that could be causing well, nothing? Nothing shows up in the context menu or anything, it's as if the mods just not enabled basically.

I do look forward to actually giving this a shot once it works for me though!
Thanks! Keep up the modding, it's great work all you guys do! :)
