Still works in 41.73 SP

"Aiteron has stopped development on the towing mod clearly and it will likely be added to base game, why its still a requirement for this car is beyond me"

That's actually because Better Towing was responsible for additional functionality for this Tow Truck mod, the Standalone version was slightly gimped in comparison. Though Better Towing has updated, so this mod is functional again.

Towing mod fixed, this mod works now too

Stand alone, fixed version of this mod

Aiteron has stopped development on the towing mod clearly and it will likely be added to base game, why its still a requirement for this car is beyond me

It doesn't
This was made with the intent of being used alongside Better Towing

Better towing doesnt seem to work with 41.66, does towing with this vehicle still work without the better towing mod?

Does this also work without Better Towing?

Hi, i found 2 problem in this mod. When key to start engine,the sound not whole. And check car information,no car part picture appear,only car par information.Can you fix these? :)

Is it supposed to be extremely rare? We visited all the cities and uncovered most of them, haven't seen a single one of these.

@harrycheez can I use the tow rig of your truck and attach it to Filibuster rhyme's vehicles. Of course crediting both mods and Authors.

@Comfort it works for me; I'm playing 41.65 now and I've just tested it. I also have better towing installed and that didn't cause any issues.

@Comfort no for now, until better towing is fixed

So, does this work with the latest version of Project Zomboid?

@harrycheez Thank you very much!

@Purp yeah go ahead

@harrycheez Could i add this mod to a custom modpack for my server? I would credit you and include a link to this page in the description.

@u2020bullet Cars will NOT spawn in areas that have already been loaded. You need to visit a cell for the first time since installing it. Otherwise, you have to spawn it in manually with debug/admin.

Has anyone actually managed to find one of these after subbing to the mod on an existing save?

Towing in general is borked, vanilla and modded, its a problem with the base game towing, but game is in beta, there will be bugs

Any time I unhook the tow truck it never detaches from the car even after disconnected

Tried to spawn this on my dedicated server to test it out couldn't get it to spawn no idea on how to fix it

I had a tow truck haul a white 4 door sedan (the big 4 door '88 pontiac) and now even though I disconnected it, the tow truck keeps being drug back to the sedan.... this is on a locally hosted server any thoughts to help me just get free?

Has the Creator abandoned this mod? It looks like it hasn't been updated to the latest version.

@MultiNight Youre wrong, I am a server host, we have multiple pz servers running modded and vanilla, both are experiencing the same vehicle flying away issue. So you can stop spreading misinformation about things you havent even tried to troubleshoot. Dont believe me? go to the comments on bettertowing where the guy who wrote the code for towing confirmed its the base game and happens more with the mod, but it is a base game problem.

@Sabartooth14
its a mod issue not "game" issue
please stop spreading false information
only with Towing mod my car gets jumped back
this never happens with Vanilla so guess what wait for mod update and easy :)

@BanginBobby thats actually not an issue with the mods its an issue with the base game, Running a vanilla server right now with no mods and it does the same thing, its a desync issue with the trailer it self, what we have been doing is if we have something thats hooked to a trailer we will move it a few feet to see if it floats back to the trailer if it does usually a unhook and rehook will fix it, but its not the mods

What's the item id of the vehicle so I can spawn it with command?

CAUTION!
Don't use the "Refined Hotwire" mod in combination with "Harry's Functional Tow Truck - Chevalier Rhino" mod! It is messing up the car hooking. Instead of the tow hook icons, you only get +/- for hooking/unhooking but then the towed car is acting like a conected trailer with it's front wheels still on the ground and very slow and clunky to tow.
Both mods are fiddeling with the radial menu and don't work alongside! Learned the hard way... ;)

@BanginBobby Better Towing hasn't been updated for 41.60 yet.

@Sabertooth14 Im either having issues with this or better towing. Pretty sure its better towing though so I would hold off. I will tow vehicles and upon release, it keeps them hooked together so when I drive to the next town, the vehicle bounces back. Quite annoying

anyone know if this is working in 41.60MP?

leg-end of bloke

@Harry don't get me wrong, it doesn't bother me at all and I'm loving every bit of your mod! As Mazz said, the diagram's nice-to-have QoL. Appreciate all your effort!

@gayonne you do realize that no one is obligating you do subscribe to any particular mod on the workshop... right? I don't exactly have the ability to work on my mods a lot right now. Aiteron made the towing code, so just use that and model your own tow truck if it really bothers you so much.

@Harry - maybe you could approach Filibuster_Rhyme or iBuRus who are also modders and see if they could "teach" you how to add the outline diagram?

@Harrycheez That's understandable, it's nice QoL to be able to scan the visual but not at all necessary so I get it being a low priority. Thanks for the modding work :)

@Mazz I actually just haven't learned how to add that yet, and it didn't get put very high on the priority list for me

@Mazz it's normal. It takes @Harry too much effort to separately draw an outline for a vehicle so it was left out.

Is it normal that the vehicle health visual is missing or am I experiencing some bug? I can see the parts and stuff but the outline visual is missing. Not a huge deal but I figured I'd ask.

@Harry, I also share the same situation @gayonne brought to the table.
It hooks just fine and I can drag the car along with no problem, except that I move at 5km/h while doing it. Solid mod. Great work!

@Harry Yes I turned off all parking brakes of both vehicles. (in fact I think the parking brake system is unnecessary and breaks the game especially when towing away wrecks)

@gayonne I havent tested in the newest version yet, just double checking you turned off the parking break on the towed vehicle

The problem is with the latest PZ update, which somehow made towing weight-dependent but without tweaking the vehicles' horsepower. This makes towing a complete drag. I tried towing an Isuzu (Pazuzu?) N5 truck back from the secret military base and the tow truck basically had too little power traveling off-road after first gear (which the devs buffed since 41.55) that I almost got killed en route! That truck has roughly the same weight as the tow truck, and I had "speed demon" as a trait, so something must be wrong here especially because tow trucks are meant to have immense power to tow heavy vehicles. (This same issue also happened when I was towing smaller standard vehicles - once the coupled vehicles hit the dirt road or grass, they grind to almost a complete halt) What's the best way to fix this?

That explains it then. Thanks.

I think they start out on by default, so if you never turned them off they were probably on

I don't think they were. I just turned off the engine on the land rover, hooked it up and drove. Unless it automatically turns on the parking brakes....

@I havent personally tested it with that mod but just to make sure, the breaks on the landrover werent on were they?

The tow truck has way too little horsepower. I tried towing a Landrover (mod) and it went so slow I got swarmed and killed.

i found the mod that causes problomes - bigger trunk space mod. there is known problem about ambulance, but looks like nyala has same issue
