Random Vehicle Stories Plus (JAVA MOD!)

Description
WARNING: THIS MOD REQUIRES JAVA MODDING (check instructions below)

You've installed thousands of vehicle mods. Kentucky now has huge fire trucks, police armored vehicles, and state of the art ambulances. However, it seems that on every burnt house, every barricade, and every ambulance crash they kinda forgot to use the latest aditions. Weird, huh?

This JAVA mod fixes the vehicle events to use more than just vanilla cars (This was hardcoded in the events... Why?).
The advantage of this compared to a vehicle replacer is that it can choose multiple different vehicles (at the proportions assigned in the lua files).
See below for how to add support for other car mods.

HUGE thanks to FedCap for making the java files. Dude's a legend.

HOW TO INSTALL

I added a link to the video installation guide of Dynamic Body Shape, the steps are the same, just go to 3336279347 instead of the Dynamic Body Shape folder

You'll need to open 2 folders: Your project zomboid base game folder, and the workshop mod folder.
Copy the entire zombie folder to the base game folder (you should overwrite 9 files, do not delete the original).

The workshop mod folder is usually in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\3336279347

You can also get a rar of the modified folder files from mega:
https://mega.nz/file/K2J2yDaY#cBBsZ9OgFz1VhEYbUZZaozacKKdzeDjSvpA4XESXoLs

You need to make sure the mod is enabled too, otherwise you won't get new vehicles in vehicle events.

HOW TO UNINSTALL

FedCap made the java modification as unintrusive as possible, but if you want to uninstall the mod for some reason:
Deactivate the mod from the game, then on steam library right click PZ, go to properties, Installed Files and verify integrity of game files.

COMPATIBILITY

Works with the following mods out of the box:
* PZK Vanilla Look-Like Car Pack
* Filibuster Rhymes Used Cars Stable

To add support for another mod, all modders have to do is add to the following vehicle zones:
* rvseventfire
* rvseventambulance
* rvseventpolice
* rvseventroadcrew
* rvseventbandit

Check in the workshop mod folder the file in media/lua/shared/RVSVehicleDistributions.lua

Thanks for the advice! I will be sure to follow up on that :)

ok, so. The SVU/STFR discord would be a great place to ask about that, as I'm more active there, and screenshots could be shared...

@tkonrye I'd advise you to go to either Project zomboids Official Discord Community (https://discord.gg/theindiestone) where there are modding channels for lua, modeling and map development,

Or Chucks PZ Modding Community that focuses only on mods ( https://discord.gg/kBBJn5pY )

I personally have no experience, but maybe Jack or someone from the community does.

@Jack Rossman, sorry to ping you this way, but I am developing/ed a mod that can add vehicle tuning. Sadly my lua is weak, but my java is ok, so it works. Just stuck on how to add new parts that arent normally a part of the standard vehicle templates. I was hoping you might consider a quick chat :) Thanks and great work with all your abundant mods!
