Release title: DrivableVehicles v0.1.0 - Prototype Vehicle System

DrivableVehicles v0.1.0

Initial prototype release of DrivableVehicles for CastleForge / CastleMiner Z.

This release adds a local-only drivable vehicle system with selectable XNB vehicle models, configurable controls, optional per-vehicle sounds, and basic vehicle tuning.

Highlights

• Spawn, enter, drive, and exit prototype vehicles
• /vehicle and /veh commands
• Selectable vehicle model folders under !Mods\DrivableVehicles\Models
• Support for flat and models subfolder XNB layouts
• Built-in Alpha Prototype fallback vehicle
• Configurable controls through DrivableVehicles.clag
• Per-vehicle speed/tuning through vehicle.clag
• Optional WAV sounds for enter, accelerate, decelerate, and skid/drift
• Automatic clean HUD while driving
• Held-item actions blocked while driving
• Hot reload with Ctrl+Shift+R by default
• Model diagnostics with /veh modeldiag
• Wheel clone workaround for converted models that only import one wheel mesh

Notes

This is a prototype and is currently local-only. Multiplayer sync, save/load persistence, craftable/placeable vehicles, polished terrain collision, and full vehicle physics are not implemented yet.

The included example vehicle XNBs are currently model-only and do not include finished textures yet. They are included as working examples for testing model loading, controls, sounds, and per-vehicle configs.

Requirements

• CastleMiner Z 1.9.9.8
• CastleForge / ModLoader
• ModLoaderExtensions

Getting started

Place the mod DLL in your CastleForge mods folder, launch the game, and run:

/veh help

Vehicle models should be placed under:

!Mods\DrivableVehicles\Models
