I know this was supposed to be aether, but because of some stupid IO errors and mod incompatibility issues, i had to go to vehicles. also, because of the size of aether, i will break it up into small parts.

This is the Vehicles mod by Flan (yep, same guy who did planes mod)

It can easily traverse small bumps and hills, making it ideal for long travel.

If all the spoilers are a problem, let me know and i will try to reduce them. The point of all the spoilers were to prevent there from being a massive wall of pictures, and allow organized reference to crafting recipes.

EDIT: Removed a line of Crafting spoilers, keeping the test drive ones since theres 5-6 pictures per vehicle. but i added more description to the pictures.

This is a great mod overall, and is just as good as its planes counterpart. its much easier to ride with f5 as non f5 will limit vision. I experienced an odd bug in which if i were to punch a mob/player in a vehicle, i would go flying away. I was unable to fully recreate, but thats what i found, let me know if you can recreate it so i know how the heck that happened. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to add a twist to their small private smp server or to just mess around in ssp.

I give this 6 out of 10 diamonds for great programming and an excellent idea. It was extremely buggy though, and isnt always that fast. controls are also a bit wierd. i still wish there were more vehicles to choose from and better controls.

This was pretty good. The spoilers were a little annoying, but overall a good job.
Maybe next time, you should add more detail about the mod? I don't really know what the functionality of all the vehicles are; it would be good to know.
 
Yeah, me too, I would love to know what those Vehicles 1) Look like 2) what they can do :) and the spoilers were a bit annoying, but it wasnt a that big deal. :) Nice work, I want to see Planes next time! :D
 
Yea, i didnt add much cause i almost rage quit after writing this massive post and hitting f5 which deleted it, im removing some spoilers and addin more info
 
You should do some multiplayer plugins as well instead of just mods.
Also, i would appreciate if you add more choices to the poll of the next mod to be tested.
 
This was a great review, but I absolutely hate the Vehicles mod. First, I had a weird glitch where I couldn't even use the vehicles on my current world, I had to start a new one, or I could not put fuel or ammunition into the vehicle.

Second, there is no real reason to use the vehicles. They are slow, glitchy, and look terrible.


I would have given this mod a 2 out of 10, but I can respect your opinion.


(VOTE WWII GUNS MOD!)

You are right, its very glitchy, but i gave it an 8 for a good idea, and how fun it would be in smp. but u do stand a valid point, i now give it 6 out of 10

If someone finds a really cool plugin that i should spotlight, i will. the amount of choices are good too.
 
:( due to some more compatibility issues, (tmi will not work with planes) i am forced to do the aether, but im not complaining! Aether will be up soon!

BUT I AM COMPLAINING, I DON'T WANT THE AETHER! (lolololol) No, seriously, so many people wrote about the aether already...

yea, ik, but Too Many Items doesnt work with Planes. I would use my server to do it, but i suck at modding servers. Aether isn't cooperating either, I'll ask 3van for a prepared .jar :)
