The TFP Raft Mod

Another water craft Mod returns from Hiatus in A21

The ‘Working TFP Raft’.
The TFP raft model was extracted and rigged as a ‘working vehicle entity’ initially by DUST2DEATH and then ‘Raft float xml physics’ applied by Ragsy 2145.

Launch

The Raft can be placed in shallow water with level ground underneath much the same as the latest version of the ‘boating mod’. Once in the water level the Raft and off you go.

Controls

Normal keys W and Shift for forward momentum and Space bar and C control the up and down angles (same as a gyro) which you may need to adjust slightly as you travel on water. Although once levelled the Raft is much more stable than a boat. Steer the Raft with the A and D keys.

If you let go of W and shift (Turbo) then the Raft slowly comes to a stop, there is no reverse on a raft although pressing S will slow the Raft down more quickly this replaces Spacebar as the brake key.

To ‘anchor the Raft’ and stop it drifting away use C and Spacebar to level the Raft until it stops drifting, useful if you have a fishing mod installed.

Crafting

The Raft is craftable in a standard workbench with no progression needed at the heavier cost of having enough resources.

The recipe’s are simple and use standard in game resources… Please feel free to alter the recipe if you wish and offer back a recipe or build system improvement with due credits given to the person that does do an alternate recipe and build system.

Seating

The Raft has 4 seating positions … two can be added via the vehicle mod system let him know if there are any issues with multiple passengers.

ChangeLog version 4:

1. XML Updated to V1
2. Seating redone for V1 Pose system
3. Texture pass for V1 world lighting.

Additional Credits:

DUST2DEATH for the extracting the TFP Asset model and conversion in unity. TFP for the ‘Actual Raft Model’ asset in the game.
ActiniumTiger for Conversion of the blend file version to unity package for allowing physics updates for this V1 version.
