Description
Who doesn't like old Volvo's? Here I bring to you the first fully animated, customizable and most complete car mod of a classic Volvo. The 740 (sedan version). This is my second mod, the first one with animations and other new features. It has took me almost 4 months to finish it, so I hope you like it. 🧡


Main features
  • 10 color variants
    Most parts of the car have been modeled to be shown in the world when you take them off the car and place them on the ground.

  • Custom mechanics interface
    It has a unique look for this Volvo.

  • Modifications menu
    Press "V" to open the radial menu, then select "Modifications". (This feature is possible thanks to Tsar's Common Library 2.0)

  • Crafting items
    Press "B" to open the crafting menu. Some parts of the car can be crafted. Some others can be found in other 740s and around the world.

  • Interactive trunk & roof rack
    This allows the players to know how full the trunk and roof rack are, depending on how many bags appear in/on them. When they're empty, they'll look empty. Some parts can be seen apart from bags, like gas cans, a generator, an extra battery and a spare wheel. Those items have specific slots in the mechanics interface and don't take any space from the trunk and roof rack. (This feature is possible thanks to Tsar's Common Library 2.0)

    • Trunk capacity: 55
    • Roof rack capacity: 50

  • Easter egg
    A Spiffo plushie can be placed on top front of the roof rack.
    He will travel with you and keep you safe. 🧡

  • Translations available
    English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian (thanks to Bonk) and Ukranian (thanks to "Pancake the killer").

@Rydinsky Don't worry. I think it didn't work before, I don't know if it works now because I haven't played for a long time. But the armour depends on Tsar's Library. So unless it's implemented in there, I'm afraid the armour does not protect the car. Other vehicles like KI5's use proprietary code for them to work, but I use Tsar's Lib. It does many cool things, but I think that the armour is still broken.

Don't mean to sound like a broken record but does the armour work?
YamaKisu 24 Jun, 2024 @ 3:13pm 
@mentalist666 Well... Against vanilla vehicles, it's probably somewhat close, can't exactly remember what their durability is like when I haven't driven vanilla vehicles in years.
mentalista666  [author] 24 Jun, 2024 @ 7:05am 
@Deadsphere I just opened the game for you, to test that the modifications menu is working. And guess what, it's working. I press "V" next to the Volvo and the option to open the "Modifications" menu is there. I really don't know why it's not working for you, but I can ensure that it's not a problem of my mod or the Tsar's Lib. So, I'm sorry, but I can't help you.

@YamaKisu Thank you! I'm glad that you like it! So do you think it's way too weak or its durability is similar to other similar vehicles?
YamaKisu 24 Jun, 2024 @ 3:26am 
@mentalist666 That's alright bro, it looks good as fuck but I'm biased towards volvos being like diet tanks ":D"
Deadsphere 23 Jun, 2024 @ 7:25pm 
You can't possibly sit here and tell me I am the only person who has ever reported this issue. I have all of the required mods installed, and yet it does not work. I could not tell you why, because the game doesn't report any errors when I try to use it.

I did this for both the Mustang, and this, and yet I got no results. I even turned off other car mods to see if that was the issue, and still got nothing.

One of these two things is fucked, and I would certainly appreciate not being called the problem when I have followed YOUR INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER.

@everyone That being said, I won't develop or pay someone else to develop a proprietary code for my mods since I publish them for free, and nobody pays my work. I gave you all the best I can do with all I got. My mods will never be as great as KI5's, that's a fact.

Once more, I'd like to thank you all for giving my mod an opportunity in your games. Thank you for all the likes, favorites and subscriptions. Also added to 7,270 of your collections, that's insane! Thank you all!

@YamaKisu I haven't really tried the durability of the Volvo since I haven't played much PZ since I published it. It wasn't either meant to be a very strong car because it's a 80's utility car, it's not a Jeep or a Humvee. If you think it's "way too weak", I could take a look back to the code and check it out. But its durability should be similar to the vanilla sedan.

Talking about the bullbar and other Modifications through Tsar's menu, the way the bullbar should protect the car it's in its own code, in the Tsar's Lib. I can't help with that, I'm sorry.
mentalista666  [author] 23 Jun, 2024 @ 6:18pm 
@Deadsphere Other vehicle mods like KI5's use proprietary code, developed exclusively for his mods with copyright. I'm not a programmer, I'm a mechanic who likes a bit of 3D modeling and coding, but I have no teachers, I had to learn it all by myself. iBrRus has invested his time in giving us a free code library for modders who don't know very much about programming.

So no, it's not easier at all, it took me 4 months to finish this mod, it's a huge amount of work. If you find a better way to make it, I'll be glad to hear it and apply to my mod. Until then, there are, at the moment 56,737 people using my mod and you're the only one saying that the "Modifications" menu doesn't work, so I'm thinking it's not a problem of my mod at all, or even Tsar's Lib. I'm sorry that you're having that issue, but I can't help you, because it does work for the rest of us.

Why is it so fragile? Bullbar also does nothing
