Mods from the «Others» category 69

As you have already understood, this add-on will allow players to travel to Chernobyl in new vehicles B-157 and B-505, equipped with Geiger counters. Players will have to avoid areas with high radiation, as they are dangerous and can damage the vehicle. Players will be able to explore locations such as Pripyat, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the Red Forest, and the "Duga" radar station.

The add-on also brings the possibility to find the infamous "Claw of Chernobyl" on the map – a mechanism used to collect graphite shards from the roof of the plant. According to legend, it is the most radioactive object in the zone; a single touch can kill.

The add-on works on version 1.4.2.
But it has also been tested on version 03.03.16, works stably, and no crashes were noticed throughout the entire gameplay.

Installation:
Extract the files from the archive into the Media folder.
Or place the archive into the game folder and add it (the archive) to User/Config.xml

New Year's texture for the PAZ-3201 and the wagon, New Year's splash screen, and renamed location names.

Although this is mostly just textures and a fairy-tale description, the mod also offers those interested a New Year's storyline to play on any suitable winter map or with a winter mod:

Our world coexists with fairy-tale worlds, so-called parallel, magical dimensions... And every New Year, Ded Moroz takes some kind-hearted people there, who, together with Ded Moroz’s helpers, assist him during the New Year holidays. This year, Ded Moroz chose this bus and its driver, transporting them to his magical world. Many do not know where Ded Moroz gets the gifts for us. Well... For example, in these places, forest fairies are currently gathering magical invisible cones in one spot. They are loaded in a wondrous way, disguised as logs (which the fairy accepts in the wagon). Then Snegurochka and her helpers turn them into gifts. We have to deliver everything to the places where they will be transformed into presents. After the first trip with the wagon, it can be parked at the receiving points, the ladder lowered, and on the next trip, this place will look festive for the New Year.

We will also be delivering wood for making gifts, and on the bus, we will transport wizards (the logs we create in this magical way sometimes turn into wizard helpers once a year). The little person for whom this gift was made expressed a desire to share it with other little and big people.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The New Year's Fairy Tale "Express is about to depart..."

The mod includes:

- A file that renames the locations;
- A modified version of Dmitry Bogelman’s mod (removal: delete the STRING folder from the MEDIA folder);
- New Year's splash screen (removal: delete the VIDEOS folder from the MEDIA folder).

Mod installation is standard:
Move the contents of the MEDIA folder from the (paz-Nov god) folder into the game’s MEDIA folder.

To restore the original mod textures, simply reinstall the main mod.

Once before, I made a similar program, but it was console-based and didn’t work with newer versions.
This is a complete redesign of the program with the previous concept. Many people said the program didn’t work with new game versions and also mentioned the inconvenient console interface. So, I took all these points into account and made a new version. There is also a version of the program for MudRunner.

Installation:
1. Download the program itself from the links below.
2. Extract the 7z archive.
3. Run the installation exe file.
4. In the installer window, select the game folder.
5. A shortcut will appear on the desktop; launch it and play.

Program features:
1. The program works with new versions of the game.
2. When selecting versions, game settings are not reset.
3. Mods work on both licensed and pirated copies (from a single game copy).
4. No bugs or game crashes detected.
5. Game files are not modified.
6. You will not get a VAC ban on Steam for using this program.
7. Pirated copies will not have mods from the Steam Workshop.
8. If you don’t have a licensed game on Steam, you won’t be able to play it through this program.
9. There is an option to clear the cache and save settings.
10. There is a full cache clear option without saving settings.

Version for MudRunner

Enjoy the game and don’t get stuck in the mud :)

This is a conversion of my mod for MudRunner. A mod for enthusiasts. I tweaked the mud and engine power of the defaults a bit. Now getting stuck and not getting out is real. If you didn’t make it in the headlights, you won’t get out on your own. In a word – realistic passability for Spintires.

Over more than 6 years since the game's development, the developers have added a lot of content to the game, but recently the quality of updates has been noticeably worse than what the dedicated fans of the game expected.

Throughout the entire existence of SpinTires☆, some players have had many questions, for example:
- "Why is the volume of all fuel tanks 10 times less than in reality?"
- "Why does the game still use an inconvenient and terribly annoying test track?"
- "Why do the names of vehicles and addons in the latest expansions not follow a unified style and are completely disorganized?"
- "Come on, why not make the winch texture normal? It literally takes a few seconds to change the texture!!"

I don’t have answers to these questions, but I do have a fix for these long-standing annoying flaws!
So, let’s get down to business!

6. Replaced the winch texture
7. Replaced the annoying default game test track with an excellent test track by Psikh, where you can test vehicles for speed
8. Changed the display of indicators (Diff. and Full.)

Truck names in the game menu and addons in the garage are now sorted alphabetically by localized names, so the selection process will be faster and more enjoyable thanks to the proper display of the assigned names.

Installation: everything is written inside the mod archive, agree to replace files inside the archives

This mod version is designed for licensed versions of SpinTires☆, but if necessary, I am ready to make one for pirated versions as well...

Features:
- All vehicles have a cockpit view;
- Replaced daytime background sounds from version 03.03.16 (birds instead of crows again);
- Improved dirt surface (color and tire tracks by wheel width);
- If you delete the BLUE file from the WATERS folder, the water will not be bright blue as in version 03.03.16 (ground textures from version 03.03.16);
- The media file is closer to version 03.03.16. If not installed, it will result in something in between (last screenshot).

Installation:
Copy and replace the contents of the SpinTires archive into the game (without fully extracting the zip archive, and copy the contents of the media folder into the same folder).

Made more steering lock and faster wheel turning speed (speed is noticeable only on keyboard and gamepad) on the default. Including all DLC and MAZ 535/7310.
