VCMod is designed to make the vehicles in garrysmod just as good as the vehicles in any other game

It is meant to improve the game's vehicle's quality. Can be used in machinima, realistic roleplay, or just randomly messing around. After installing VCMod servers usually get a huge boost of server traffic and overall lift the server's feeling of realism.

Optimization

• Lights are rendered fully client-side, with no entities - no lag
• Light data for each car type is sent only once per new car type
• Admin can adjust times of lights auto shut off if the car is left alone
• Admin can disable the headlight option in the menu
• Each player can turn off dynamic lights if too laggy
• Each player can turn off each light layer one by one if too laggy
• Each player can reduce the size of each light layer+ dynamic light
• Dynamic lights get reduced in size and shut off when it's far enough
• Lights do not render if far enough
• Lights have LODs, the further out you go, the more light layers will turn off, keeping it not noticeable
• Lights pretty, expensive-to-render parts will be replaced by dummy parts once further away
• Lights will only render the pretty glow depending on how lit the vehicle is
• Each player can turn off lights on their own if too laggy
• Each player can select lights auto to fade outdistance
• Each player can set his tire track fade time
• Each player can set his tire tracks detail
• Each player can set the draw distance for the effects
• Each player can set which effects to use
• Each light (and it's layered) can be parented to bones/attachments

Overall, I have not gotten any complaints about VCMod being too laggy, it is optimized as best as it could be. Some cars have over 2000 total lights on them, no noticeable lag even with several vehicles spawned.

VCMod is updated almost daily. Updates frequently bring new features completely for free. Tiny bug fixes are done in the background.

You never have to update VCMod, thanks to the Auto Update features. This does mean that you will have to have an internet connection to be able to use the addon, sadly.

Are you a developer? Something is just not right? Wish to integrate with custom addons or even recode parts of VCMod?

VCMod has API's just for that. You can find it all in the VCMods Dev Corner.

Please follow the provided video tutorial (made by Hexane Networks).

Step by step instructions:

1) Once downloaded, right click on the downloaded .zip type file and select "Unarchive" or "Unrar" or "Extract" or "Unzip", depending on your software.

Once done, you will receive a folder called "vcmod_main_autoupdate".

2) Place this folder into your "garrysmod/addons/" folder of your server or single-player game.

The complete file path should look similar to this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\vcmod_main_autoupdate\".

If you have issues finding this, go to your Steam Library, right click on Garrysmod, Properties, Local Files and click the "Browse local files..." button. This will take you straight into the installation directory of the game.

3) If Garrysmod is running, restart the game itself. If this is done for a server, restart the server.

If you have followed these steps correctly VCMod will be fully functional and working for you.

VCMod team works hard to add support for every single vehicle.

Currently over 2 500 unique vehicle models are supported.

Supported vehicle packs include: TDM, LW, SGM, Metro, PV, vCars, Roy's Cars, Sped, CTVehicles, Super's Cars, DK. Support is not limited to these packs.

A full list of VCMod main supported vehicles can be found here: VCMod Main Statistics.

Do note, that, currently, only the default Garrysmod vehicles ("prop_vehicle_*" classes) are supported, additional entity support will be added soon!

Vehicle you wish to use is not supported? Vehicle data is incorrect or low quality? Fee free to contact us and we'll be glad to rectify the situation.
