I hope you do one for the VLC Mod.

Update for B42?

@UnrealVenn I made the mod, here's the link: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3356955019

can you do the same to drive 90s

spot on reasoning brother and thank you for the mod ))))))

I was just explaining my reasoning for why each car is named how it is because they acted like the database does no wrong. If you don’t establish brand consistency, you’ll end up getting brands like Cadillac, Eagle, Pontiac, etc. thrown into the mix when they don’t have to be. The Chevy C10 could be the GMC C10 and the Chevy G20 could be the GMC G20. But they aren’t. Why? Because it wouldn’t make sense for it to be a GMC when there’s a Chevy model right there. Same thing with the Pontiac Parisienne when there’s a Chevy Impala right there. You need to be consistent if you want the proper vehicle names and that’s why vehicles have been named accordingly. I also feel like just looking at some of the names should be enough to think that it’s the right vehicle name.

@CosmicNebula643, Thank you for such work, but don’t you think this is monkey work?
I mean, why explain something to a schoolchild who hasn’t made any effort to understand your choice based on the name of this or that car.

TLDR: The wiki isn't always right. Just because it says something, doesn't mean it's always right. There were some things that weren't taken into consideration, such as brand names not being consistent (Dash and Franklin) and as such some vehicles would be wrong. Example: Dash Elite being based off of a completely different car in Vanilla Vehicle Enhancer even though the only thing that really changed was a nicer texture and a new name. It shows you how important a vehicle's brand name is to determing what vehicle it is. On top of that, there are vehicles that look similar to each other because they've been rebadged by different car manufacturers under the same parent company. Examples: Oldsmobile Delta 88, Chevrolet Caprice, Pontiac Bonneville, Pontiac Parisienne. These are all the same car, just rebadged differently under their parent company General Motors.

Now, after reading all that and deciding that the database is still right, (which I don't really care if you think it's right or not, it can be edited by anyone so mistakes will happen) you can manually change the vehicle car names to your own desire.

Just open the media folder and go to your language and change the vehicle name from there.

Chevalier:
The name is similar to Chevrolet. There are no vehicles that I've seen that might hint that this fictional brand is made up of more than one real world brand. The only vehicle that I can think of that might be from a different brand is the Chevalier Primani, which I'm not entirely sure what it's based off of because of the very different tail lights. I took an educated guess and made sure to stay within the Chevy brand so that's why the Primani is the Cavalier. I could see an argument for another vehicle name, but right now I don't see any vehicles that completely resemble the Primani in game.

Dash:
The brand's name is a play on the word dodge. Instead of dodge, it's dash, but we'll look past that. This is definitely based off of Dodge and the brands its parent company owns (Chrysler) because of the Dash Rancher. The vehicle is definitely not a Dodge, but it is definitely a Jeep, and guess who owned both brands at the time, yep, Chrysler. You could refer to Dash as just Dodge and Jeep, but I just call it Chrysler to simplify things.

Alright so I'll start with reasoning for the brands now:

Franklin:
Should be pretty easy to establish that this is Ford. It really doesn't take much to see that their cars are definitely the Ford Explorer and the Ford Econoline. Ford isn't owned by any other companies, so it really wouldn't make sense why the Valuline would be a Chevy vehicle when there's no reason why it's not a Ford. If this were the case, the Valuline wouldn't be in the Franklin manufacturing brand.

Chevalier Nyala and Cerise Wagon:
So first off is the similar sounding name. Nyala, Impala and Cerise, Caprice. Depends on how you pronounce it but in my eyes it's the same ending sound. I could see it being a Pontiac, as General Motors owned them both and car companies at the time made the same vehicles just rebadged if they were owned by the same parent company. I'm going to stick with it being a Chevy though, because there are no vehicles that look like they can't be Chevy. The vehicles look the same because General Motors literally made one car and rebadged this car so many times. Examples: Oldsmobile Delta 88, Chevrolet Caprice, Pontiac Bonneville, Pontiac Parisienne. There are probably other rebadges, but these are all basically the same car just rebadged under General Motors. For consistency sake, there's no need to complicate and throw in another vehicle manufacturer when Chevy's right there.

Dash Elite:
I've established Dash as Dodge and the brands owned by its parent company (Chrysler at the time) because of the Dash Rancher being so clearly a Jeep Wrangler YJ. Cadillac is owned by General Motors. If this were a Chevalier, I could see the Chevalier brand being Chevrolet and the brands owned by its parent company (General Motors), but that simply isn't the case. Take Vanilla Vehicle Enhancer for example. The Dash Elite in that mod is based off of the Buick LeSabre. Vehicle brand names will make a HUGE difference in determining what the actual vehicle name is. I don't see Cadillac being thrown into the mix, because it really could still be a Dodge Spirit.

Dash Bulldriver:
If this were a Chevy, it would at the very least have the same vehicle brand name as the Chevalier D6, but that would still only mean that they come from the same vehicle manufacturer and not that they're the same vehicle. I know that the Chevalier Nyala and Chevalier Cerise Wagon look similar and even have the same vehicle manufacturer, but they're still different vehicles. (I'll get to it later.) On top of that, the names are pretty similar. Dodge Ramcharger=Dash Bulldriver. If the developers made the vehicles have the same names, then they would've been the same vehicle, but that's not the case. The Bulldriver just looks like the D6 because they just took the D6 and added a cap. I can definitely see how this could be seen as a Chevrolet C10, but because of the VERY different names, this is meant to be an entirely different vehicle.

Franklin Valuline:
So assuming Franklin=Ford, this is definitely an Econoline. I mean the name is LITERALLY a play on the word Econoline. Econo as in Economy, Valu as in Value... It really isn't hard to see that this one is right in front of you. On top of that, why would this be a Chevy? If it were a Chevy, this would definitely be a Chevalier. It's a Ford vehicle because of the very obvious Ford Explorer and it wouldn't make sense for this vehicle to be based on an entirely different vehicle manufacturer.

Alright, so I'm going to start with the vehicles and then I'll probably jump into explaining the vehicle brands. I'm going to group vehicles by vehicle manufacturer brand because if I didn't I'd exceed the character limit. I'll start with the Mercia Lang 4000 and the Masterson Horizon.

Mercia Lang 4000: There are 4 versions of the Mercedes-Benz R129 that were sold in the United States in ~1993. The 300, 500, and 600. The only differences between these is the engine. I chose the 600 because the 600 has the most powerful engine. That's literally it. The only versions I would consider technically wrong are the 280, because it wasn't sold in the North American market and the 320 because it replaced the 300 in 1994.

Masterson Horizon: I'm just going to say it, this car could literally be any car that looks like it. It could be the one on IGCD, but it could also be this one. There's really no clear correlation to any real vehicle brands and so this one is more up to opinion.

@Dr. Kel, тут столько моделей намешано как в гта, что можно выбирать понравившуюся.
Masterson Horizon как по мне вообще похож на 85ю левин

I’ll provide my reasoning later in the day, but brand consideration needs to be taken into effect. I’m going to list the brands that I think correlate to Project Zomboid.

Dash = Dodge and the brands owned by its parent company (Chrysler)
Franklin = Ford
Chevalier = Chevrolet

Again, I’ll provide reasoning later but for right now I’m busy.

You got Masterson Horizon, Chevalier Nyala & Cerise Wagon, Dash Bulldriver, Mercia Lang 4000, Dash Elite, Chevalier Primani and Franklin Valuline wrong. Check project zomboid vehicles on IGCD for correct names.

thanks for the translation into russian language

I've updated the mod to add in VERY rough support for most other languages. I think there are only like two that have no support, those being Argentina Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. I used Google Translate in order to translate the mod into other languages, so don't be surprised if the translations are very inaccurate. I'll update the VVE Edition whenever I have the time to do so.

I understand, thanks for the answer, I also know only one language and it’s not English, but I only use English through a translator

As of right now only in English. There are two options that I could do in order to get more language support.
1. I could just get all of the languages and input the English names.
2. I could wait for translations and input those.
I only really speak English so that's the only language that works right now.

Thanks for the mod, but does it work in all languages ​​or only in English localization?
