[B42] HDCP Immersive Vehicle Paint

Description
Turn Your Garage into a Real Automotive Workshop!
Are you the kind of person who can't stand seeing a scratched-up, blood-covered car in the middle of an apocalypse? Then this mod was made for you!
With this mod, you can now sand, prime, and paint vehicles with all the finesse a true car enthusiast deserves!

Warning: This mod can be installed on both new and existing saves, but in existing saves, players might not find the items if they've already visited the common spawn areas.

Mod Loader: This mod should be loaded before all compatible vehicle mods.

Requirements to become a paint job master:
  • Read the Automotive Painting Magazine
  • Be in a covered location (e.g., garage) - no air bubbles, alright?
  • Wash the vehicle if it's covered in blood
  • Repair the bodywork if it's damaged
  • Use personal protective equipment
  • Have a sanding block
  • Have enough spray primer
  • Have enough spray paint in your favorite color

Each car takes a different amount of time depending on its size.

Heads up: the process is loud - make sure you're in a safe spot before starting!

Where to find the materials?

Magazine: where you normally find other automotive magazines
Sanding block: tool-related locations
Spray paint:
New: stores, storages, mail packages...
Used: garages, homes, vehicles... even artistic zombies!

Tips:
I'm not saying recycling should be a top priority in the apocalypse, but hey - why not earn some metal welding XP by cutting up empty spray cans with scissors?
Spray paint boxes use a gacha system - giving you a better chance of getting multiple cans of the same color.
Use your common sense to find sprays - I made the loot spawns as realistic as possible!

Future Updates:
  • More windows = less time and fewer materials
  • Window masking with newspapers and tape
  • If you don't paint it... it rusts!

Known Compatibility Mod List:
If a compatible mod isn't listed here, please leave a comment below with the mod link, and I will add it to the list later. If this mod isn't compatible with your favorite car mod, kindly ask the vehicle mod's author to implement the simple compatibility script discussed here.

For modders:
If you create recolorable vehicles and want them to be supported by this mod, check out this discussion.

Thanks to PeterHammerman for his help in supporting other mods.
Appreciate the solid testing, Rusty #DopeRust!

Looking for a less hardcore experience?
If you just want to change vehicle colors quickly without all the realism and prep work, check out my other mod:

Vehicle Color UI

It's a simpler, more accessible alternative for survivors who just want to paint and go!

Thanks @Hidex.

@Manyack, I recommend you to use the mod PaintYourRide for build 41.
Manyack 23 Jun @ 10:21pm 
@jtgibson nooooo, my day just got ruined. I wished I had this mod and the option to paint my vehicles. Thanks for your reply.
Does anyone know of another mod that works in v41 to paint vehicles? I wish I could, and this was the only option I found, but I won't play v42 until it works in co-op.
@Hidex, Please adapt this mod to v41, please, please.
Sorry about my English, I use Google Translate.
Best regards.

@Manyack This mod is Build 42 only.

@Hideks What's with the obfuscated Lua source?
Manyack 19 Jun @ 8:54am 
Oh, I forgot to mention I'm playing on version 41.78.16, in case it helps.

Best regards.

Sorry, my English is poor. I use Google Translate.

Hi, this mod isn't working for me. It doesn't even appear in the "Mod Manager" to activate it. It does appear in the "Steam Workshop" game settings... But in the game, neither the magazine I need to read, nor the sprays, nor anything else appear. I've activated cheats in the game to more efficiently search for gas stations, garages, warehouses, bookstores... no sign of the materials needed to paint the vehicle.
I only have the 89 Land Rover vehicle mod and the Military Hamer mod. Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Regards

Spawn rate should be reduced to 25% of its current

Does it work on KI5 cars?

Great mod! i played some vanilla+ with it and had a blast painting my car. Unfortunately when i used PZK car mod it did not let me paint cars. I tried painting Pfeifer continental but it did not work. Possibly because its a new car that wasnt added to the list
Cant wait for next update and improvement. :spiffo:
