A downloadable mod

This project requires the game Art of Rally.

A mod for Art of Rally that changes how cars take damage.

This mod adds 4 new events when a car can take damage :

Landing : when landing from a jump, a car can take damages to the suspensions and puncture tires.
Overheat : when an engine's RPM stays too high for too long it can overheat and damage the engine and the turbo.
Drifting : when drifting, tires can puncture.
Shifting gear : when shifting gear with the wrong engine RPM, the gearbox can be damaged.

This mod also modifies the crash event, during which parts will take damages in a more localised way :

- Hitting the front left or front right of the car, the suspensions will get a tilt in the direction of the shock.
- Hitting the front center of the car will damage the radiator and hitting the back center of the car will damage the gearbox.
- Regardless of the zone hit in the crash, the body of the car will be damaged.

Usage

Press Ctrl + F10 to open the mod manager menu.
Adjust toggles and settings in each sections to select what damages you want to activate and how you want them to behave.

Each new event or damage type can be toggled off with either a toggle option or by setting its probability option to 0.
By default, the mod doesn't change the behaviour of the game.

Disclaimer

Damage dealt to the body is low. This is not intentional.
I couldn't find a way to deal more damage to the car body.
