Hi all, *updates here* > > > *download here* < < <
You may have seen this one in random screenshots on the forum or discord, over the past 2 years.
This is my first decent vehicle mod for RoR, so don't get your hopes up. Treat this as more of a demo for texturedashboard, materialflarebindings and flares3 because that's what I've put the most effort into.
It's a submeshed mod, meaning the body is made of textured submesh, shaped by the node-and-beam structure. That means it has no mesh (3d model) and doesn't deform realistically.
Here is what I have so far:
![The four versions I've made, so far The four versions I've made, so far](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/18/18564-f77489f9d9d81232d0b4387e97121f0a.jpg?hash=93SJ-dnYEj)
In four versions, for now:
It will come with a custom texturedashboard interior dash and on-screen gui hud:
![The custom texturedashboard interior dash, and on-screen gui hud The custom texturedashboard interior dash, and on-screen gui hud](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/19/19101-1690dbf274b5f761dc76535816f31e10.jpg?hash=FpDb8nS192)
You may recognize the on-screen gui hud as Flat-black Analog Gauges which you can download and use for RoR already. These may change slightly to suit the car better, and to add the new dashlights for sidelights/low-beam/high-beam/foglights
The symbols for those were made by me, by hand, to seamlessly fit with the ones I made previously.
![The custom symbols for the dashboard indicator lights The custom symbols for the dashboard indicator lights](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/18/18572-d7e38f207850bd8055f825784a98076a.jpg?hash=1-OPIHhQvY)
I decided to make use of the new dashlights and flare types that were introduced recently, meaning you get full sidelights/low-beam/high-beam/foglights with their respective dashboard indicator lights.
![A gif showing all the flares/lights on the car A gif showing all the flares/lights on the car](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/19/19102-0bd21a9280615cf18f7d9ded2d7adcf5.jpg?hash=C9IakoBhXP)
Because this is a new feature (which introduced new keyboard shortcuts) and because the vehicle has no hydraulics or commands to list, I decided to list the controls for the lights in the help screen:
![The CTRL+T help screen, showing keyboard shortcuts for mostly lights The CTRL+T help screen, showing keyboard shortcuts for mostly lights](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/19/19103-6ac4a71b071d78f9c5e112c81dc4cae9.jpg?hash=asSnGwcdeP)
The interior will use the seats that come with RoR (the ones from the early, submeshed vehicles) but with some custom textures. Custom steering wheel. The dashboard is submeshed- the vents and switches are painted on.Though, there is a possibility I will add prop mesh switches with add_animation, so they move when you toggle lights and such. I have since added mesh switches with animations and animated stalks for turn signals/highbeams/etc
I've already been experimenting with using materialflarebindings to "animate" the switches, so I may do that instead:
![A gif showing the light switch being toggled on/off with its corresponding dash light coming on/off A gif showing the light switch being toggled on/off with its corresponding dash light coming on/off](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/19/19105-d4b5df1902c958c695f20329920e4650.jpg?hash=1LXfGQLJWM)
I am in the process of addingmaterialflarebindings for all the lights, we'll see how that goes:
![Two versions of the car, one with just flares. the other with flares+materialflarebindings Two versions of the car, one with just flares. the other with flares+materialflarebindings](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/19/19106-489c65747c06a9a8f2a236790b7a17c1.jpg?hash=SJxldHwGqa)
I haven't found a good place for it yet, but I decided to go with a horizontal autogear indicator, just because I haven't seen it done before:
![The custom interior texturedashboard with a horizontal autogear indicator The custom interior texturedashboard with a horizontal autogear indicator](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/19/19107-d4a9e52ea6d42a0f6e7d898cfc6bfaae.jpg?hash=1KnlLqbUKg)
I probably won't be able to use that custom font with it, it would require the player to manually add it to their dashboards.zip - it's not worth it.
Enough exciting features, now the disappointing things. This is what it looks like without the submesh:
![The car without the texture. It really is just a crappy node-and-beam vehicle. The car without the texture. It really is just a crappy node-and-beam vehicle.](https://cdn.rigsofrods.org/data/attachments/19/19108-7dc6f651b5ca9ae1c14c5d7a60329d3a.jpg?hash=fcb2UbXKmu)
- It really is just a crappy node-and-beam vehicle. It handles and drives awfully, too. Yes, the lightbar is node-and-beam also - I still refuse to touch blender, sorry.
- That cool-ish looking gui hud is being scrapped in favor of the Flat-black Analog Gauges. Sorry. No more fake oil+temp gauges.
More to come later.

I present to you, one of the mods ever made of all time:
Crafted carefully, with tons of effort, care and time, by a Professional, Certified notepad+mspaint PRO
I present, Cardboard Box on Wheels!! (that looks kind of like a polonez maybe)
Comes in 4 versions (all are equally bad)
Features & Flaws
- drives bad, really bad, not fun to drive, it's bad.
- "deformable" if you hit really hard
- cursed inverse body-mounted suspension
- unrealistic weight, power and drivetrail
- png wheels
- seats, steering wheel borrowed from RoR, seats stick out of the bottom of the vehicle.
+ incandescent somewhat realistic custom flares3
+ all lights the real car has (except interior) e.g. foglights, low beam, dipped, high beam, etc
+ custom guisettings texturedashboard interior dash (Police version only)
+ a beige parcel shelf!
+ very poor custom hud/gui
+ non-working node-and-beam mirrors! no they are not a prop, they are node and beam
+ szerszeń comes with its wing/spoiler now
New flares have been approved by mint himself:
Dash lights custom made by hand (no you can't use them for your GUI, YES I WILL KNOW >:c)
While developing this mod, I made sure to put an even amount of effort into all aspects of it so it would be an all-around good, enjoyable mod
The interior dash (thank you @CuriousMike for help with this)

WHAT DOES "SUBMESHED" MEAN? WHY DOES THE CAR LOOK LIKE ASS??
I hear youask shout, so let me explain:
It is a SUBMESHED mod, meaning it has no mesh/3d model, it is a "cardboard" car and will never look as good as a meshed one.
Enjoy it for what it is, or make a better one by yourself for me to enjoy, too!
