    Truck damage

    Damage and deformation for trucks, so the rig you drive carries the marks of every crash.

  • Planned

    Damage on AI traffic vehicles, the cars and trucks the game itself drives around you, so they show the crash too.

  • Planned

    SCS Convoy support

  • Planned

    Full car collisions

    Full collisions between cars.

Available to players

Early Access V1 will be the first release.

How early access works

Early Access V1 is the first build of DamageMod, focused on car damage. It goes to players to test and report bugs, so every update after it is built on real feedback.

Expect rough edges: that is what early access is for. A clear report helps fix a bug faster.

How to report a bug

When you report a bug, include:

  1. The game and its version
  2. Your DamageMod version
  3. What happened, and what you expected to happen
  4. The steps to make it happen again
  5. A screenshot or a short video, if you can
  6. Your game log file (game.log.txt)

Changelog

No releases yet. The first entry arrives with Early Access V1.

What does early access mean for DamageMod?

It means players will get DamageMod while it is still in development, so they can test it and report bugs. The first build covers car damage and deformation only; everything else on the board is planned.
