Would it be possible to commission a version of this (and the B42 version) that don't spawn the Rhino? Just looking for the awesome tow-truck functionality

@Large Farva Do not use the M62 support mod. It is now obsolete.

Please read the new topic "About PZ and modding a tow truck"

@Primedew and anyone else trying to fix the M62 bug - disable the STowTruck_SVUPatch.
It seems the M62 now supports towing with just the base STowTruck mod (as of now).
Primedew 30 Aug @ 4:15am 
love the mod...any update on the big update?
Primedew 22 Aug @ 10:53pm 
M62 is bugged now because ki5 updated that big wrecker
ki5 said:
The mod was changed from ground up, everything was tweaked so all addons that changed how this mod works are not compatible anymore. Missing parts, tires, half of vehicles, transparent chassis, inverted animations, crashing, all of it is because of outdated addons that need to be removed until they are updated by people that made them.
Primedew 21 Aug @ 9:11pm 
found out that there is two more ki5 tow/wrecker cars in the latest update of '76 Chevrolet K Series (6chevyC30CCwrecker, 76chevyC30SCwrecker)..... haven't found them in game yet so dont know if they support the towing functionality yet or not
Primedew 20 Aug @ 3:36pm 
how big? O_O

The M62 is acting kind of odd. I don't know if it is an issue with your support patch or their mod because the base tow truck seems to function fine. It seems to function until you touch a zombie or even just after driving for a bit. I think it might be due to taking damage, so either the immediate zombie damage or general wear and tear damage after driving for awhile , but I'm not sure if that is for sure the trigger.

When that happens, it seems like the engine loses all power and you are stuck having to try and drive it in first gear to move very slowly, just like normally when you get bogged down towing something with vanilla vehicles. It remains that way until you disconnect and re-hook the vehicle. Could be an issue with the M62 itself, but figured I'd drop it hear in case anything could be updated on the support patch.

I'll try to do more testing when I get the change with a reduced mod list in case another mod is causing it. This is happening on MP btw.

Looking good. Standardized Vehicle Upgrade core dependency version seems to be the outdated one, just wont use that bit I guess. TY for the mod.
Primedew 12 Aug @ 6:00am 
oh mvm.....found that version of wrecker truck....towing works out of the box.......the hight adjustment is botched though
Primedew 9 Aug @ 8:24am 
ki5 added a tow truck in the latest update of silverado ...... could you add support for it too? pretty please?
Mr.Gemütlich 5 Aug @ 9:47am 
Thanks for this mod.

I added this to a multiplayer session and it works just great! :D
Hey, i saw Tooltip_RU file missing in translation folder. Add please, translation already in discussion
JokerDev 26 Mar @ 8:38am 
Please add support for Standardized Vehicle Upgrades 3
Alexander 23 Mar @ 10:56am 
Can this be added in a save?
HOLLOWSOLDI3R 23 Mar @ 3:47am 
wheres this supposed mod for armor.... nothing shows up when looking for it, and Ive downloaded a lot of standerized vehicle mods to test them all but nothing, even tho under your workshop id shows a svu patch. One of your pic for this even shows the armor mod.
KWG 21 Mar @ 6:12pm 
Sir, can you please make the windows shine like the vanilla cars (just like in the cover)? Please, thats my only way to see the clouds in this game.:steamsad:
Amroth 18 Mar @ 5:06am 
errr.. I guess I'm a bit confused why this has to be separated into 2 different mods? Doesn't B42 allow each version to have its own directory?
Lee 16 Mar @ 6:00pm 
wait, nvm, I'm stupid, I'm so sorry :(

I didn't test it in front of another car, I just opened the menu and there was no hook. The very first time (after ur first update) I definitely tried it in front of cars but then I didn't again.

The update between the first one and this revert *might* be good, I don't know. But this one is definitely good.
Lee 16 Mar @ 5:25pm 
Sorry but it still doesn't work for me :((

I only have your mod installed. Yesterday, before the update, I also had the mod from Endodercas installed but you write yours is a standalone, so I only have that now.

I spawn a Chevalier Rhino with the admin spawn menu, give me the key, enter, press V and there's no hook option. I only have your mod installed, too.

Reverted to known good version for B41 compatabilty. I would like to branch the two build versions. But i'm sure that will explode as well...
Lee 16 Mar @ 3:07pm 
It does not work, though thanks for your quick response. The cars are back, but you can't hook anything
Dani 16 Mar @ 3:00pm 
Thanks! You were quick! Good mod!
obtainchi  [author] 16 Mar @ 2:51pm 
B41 should be working again.
obtainchi  [author] 16 Mar @ 2:02pm 
Sorry guys, I wasnt aware they were not backwards compatable.... Ill get it fixed asap
IssaBunn 16 Mar @ 11:04am 
I'm getting users that are saying, error subscribing to workshop item, does this not work for b41 anymore? Need to know so I can remove it from my server if so, and please update the tags to only have b42 if that is the case.

Would love it if you could rollback a legacy version for the large amount of multiplayer servers that still use b41
Dani 16 Mar @ 10:58am 
It's a great mod, but if it doesn't work on version 41, it's a bad mod. Consider updating it for version 41? Thanks.
Lee 16 Mar @ 10:34am 
Yeah the update broke the mod for me too, I also made a post in the bug report discussion thread. My tow truck also got replaced with another truck, a gas tank truck in my case
romaldon 16 Mar @ 10:31am 
acabas de corromper tu mod para la built 41, todas mis gruas en el server acaban de desaparecer... debere quitar tu mod, ya no me sirve, bye
Dragontamer997 16 Mar @ 10:19am 
Not sure what happened but I think your update broke something. I had a tow truck earlier but when I loaded my game today it was replaced with a Military Semi from KI5. After checking steam and unsubscribing and resubscribing I can't find the mod at all in my game. Tried from the load and adding in mod to the save and also just the normal mod page in game, its just not there. I'm still using B41 if that helps.
obtainchi  [author] 16 Mar @ 7:12am 
3/16/25 - * Update to mod to correct an issue with the vanilla mod that would cause the Rhinos hood and doors to be the incorrect ones. * Updated mod to support SVU3. *Removed towbar options until the feature is ready.
Danzi 14 Mar @ 5:32am 
please update dependencies for svu to svucore3
TnT4u 5 Mar @ 8:01pm 
has anyone updated the Standardized Vehicle Upgrades Support for this? I have an old version of it but idk how to update it to work on b42
drshahramanvariazar 2 Mar @ 2:37am 
compability with rope towing?
memetheletrine 27 Feb @ 1:49pm 
are you able to change the support for svu to the new svu 3 version? or is there not a difference between the two, either way thank you for the amazing mod!
4trainpoet 21 Feb @ 12:42am 
The patch for SVU still works, you just have to edit the mod info file and remove the dependency
Monkey Magic 20 Feb @ 1:05am 
@obtainchi - you need to reference your icon in modinfo (icon=icon.png in your case) for it show in mod selection screen. It's currently a black square :P
Pendah 15 Feb @ 9:48am 
Excellent :p2cube:
Viruana 15 Feb @ 8:45am 
Nooo why has the tow-bar been removed??? :/
The Flawless 9 Feb @ 2:15am 
found ID "/addvehicle Base.Chevalier_Rhino_TowTruck"
The Flawless 9 Feb @ 2:13am 
what is vehicle ID to spawn
AfroRobot 6 Feb @ 10:35am 
Great mod btw! +Thumbs Up +Favorite
AfroRobot 6 Feb @ 10:32am 
Would love for you mod to be incompatible with the vanilla version so when I enable mods I don't have to manually disable this mod every time. Would show the mod in orange if you select the other mod.

"Author, I want to know why this mod contains STowTruck_M62Patch and STowTruck_SVUPatch, but the b42 version still shows that the mod is missing and cannot be opened?"

Because those mods have not been updated by their respective author as of yet..... THUS, they don't work yet. These are support mods and are NOT required in order to use the tow truck.!..!
melodelic 28 Jan @ 8:08am 
I am also unable to use this as it doesn't have STowTruck_M62Patch or STowTruck_SVUPatch.
