I haven't, no.

Oh this is beautiful. Any chance you've seen a mod that swaps the unique vehicle components to Filibuster or vanilla components?
Infomaniac 6 May, 2024 @ 10:45am 
gotcha

@Infomaniac
Not anytime soon. KI5 gets commissioned faster than I can allot time to do this.
Infomaniac 5 May, 2024 @ 1:11pm 
any future updates?

I'll try my best. Choosing the name is not hard at all - its the logistics. 👍

Can you please update mod to add a lore-friendly name to the new Ford by KI5?

@thecarvalhogamer
Most of them. This is just a mod that renames cars, it has nothing to do with how the cars work.
thecarvalhogamer 7 Nov, 2023 @ 5:51pm 
Do all cars have animation?
Panopticon  [author] 7 Nov, 2023 @ 5:06pm 
@thecarvalhogamer?
what? The Kiichiro Raspu car? I have never seen it in any mod.
thecarvalhogamer 7 Nov, 2023 @ 4:15pm 
is it very heavy?

Hello!! What is the sports car with the name of Kiichiro Raspu, this car appears invisible to me in the game.:steamsad:

@SP4RTAN
It's on my to-do list.
SP4RTAN 7 Jul, 2023 @ 4:22pm 
alright just the wrecker then
Panopticon  [author] 7 Jul, 2023 @ 3:21pm 
@SP4RTAN
All of them except the wrecker should have names, unless I updated the wrecker already and forgot about it.
SP4RTAN 7 Jul, 2023 @ 3:12pm 
Will names for the other 3 vehicles in the '78 AM General mod be added at some point?

Turns out this mod is not multiplayer compatible, as I have neglected to check it and found out accidentally while checking something else. I made a discussion post explaining why:

I'm unable to speak in the official discord server due to a lack of a phone number at the moment. DM me, my discord name is King Khan.
Panopticon  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 9:16pm 
@Nazar_Khan
Okay great, then if you have Discord, find me on the PZ server and send me a message. I will give you the files and tell you how to upload them.
Nazar_Khan 8 Mar, 2023 @ 6:53pm 
I'd probably upload it for maintenance reasons (and being able to do a mod purge and getting it back) if you didn't want to upload it. Thanks for considering
Panopticon  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 8:10am 
@Nazar_Khan
I could. I don't want to upload it though. Would you want to upload it, or just download it for yourself?
Nazar_Khan 8 Mar, 2023 @ 7:21am 
Hello, wondering if you'd make a version of this mod that just removes the year from the names of KI5s vehicles? Thanks (even if you dont make it)
tilarium 6 Mar, 2023 @ 4:18pm 
Nah, will just take a short time to get used to them. I'd rather have lore friendly names over real world names.
Panopticon  [author] 6 Mar, 2023 @ 3:31pm 
@tilarium
Oh dear, I hope it won't be that difficult adjusting to the new names.
tilarium 6 Mar, 2023 @ 1:26pm 
Just finding this mod and I'm going to have to keep notepad open with the list of names when I play the game! Great work on the names!
Panopticon  [author] 6 Mar, 2023 @ 2:47am 
New update:
Added support for '90 Pierce Arrow Pumper
Panopticon  [author] 28 Feb, 2023 @ 11:54pm 
Major update:
Combined all separate add-ons into one mod that covers each vehicle (also greatly reduced the mod size from the removed images)
Archived the previous separate versions into a compressed file within the mod
Made general text improvements and fixes

For those with on-going saves, there should not be an issue, simply enable the new mod in your load order.

The devs don't even emphasize the lore all that much. The only "lore" to go off is 1993 Kentucky, and people have been very creative within and outside that time range :)
Brigand231 30 Jan, 2023 @ 3:07am 
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying! I think I'm kinda jaded from some games' modding scenes where lore purists cause a lot of problems.
Panopticon  [author] 29 Jan, 2023 @ 7:25pm 
@Brigand231
As for the description "because the lore is important", I meant that as a joke. There is no explicit information related to cars manufacturers, it's all just for spice and flavor.
Panopticon  [author] 29 Jan, 2023 @ 7:23pm 
@Brigand231
Good question. Since the game uses names like "Chevalier" for Chevrolet and "Franklin" for Ford, it is awkward for some to have these fake names alongside real ones that come from mods. So, there are two options: either rename / remove the vanilla vehicles, or rename the modded vehicles to be similar to the vanilla ones. This mod is for those who choose the latter, because they would like to keep the vanilla vehicles in-game. I personally do it because I have a few mods that use vanilla vehicles regardless. Yet, I have modded items and firearms with real names. And yet, there are also spin-off brands in Knox County, with real but not-so-real cities, and the list goes on... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Up to you whether to use it or not. I haven't seen any name changers on the Workshop for KI5's vehicles, so I made my own.
Brigand231 29 Jan, 2023 @ 5:28pm 
I'm confused, what's not "Lore-Friendly" about the real life names for these things?
The devs changed the names of some properties to avoid trademark issues, but where applicable real names are used. The game includes references to the real life Louisville in real life Jefferson County in real like Kentucky.
I'm certainly not suggesting that folks can't mod their games any way they wish. I'm asking, since the description of the mod says lore is important, what is the source of the lore for the replacement names? I see that some brands in the works in progress section are consistent with brands already altered within the game, but 100% of the currently supported mods are already "Lore-Friendly" in that there is no lore contradicting them.
