VehicleExplorer v0.9.0.2 Mod
**This is a revamp of the good old VehicleSort from FS17**
## Latest Version
0.9.0.2 – I consider it as Beta. I tested it quite a lot myself, but hope for some helpful feedback from the community.
For beginners: VehicleExplorer helps you organize your vehicles, by showing you a list which can be organized, well, sorted by you.
Besides that it has a couple of additional functionality. See below.
### Features
* List of all steerable vehicles (Specialization: Enterable)
* Set a customer order for your vehicles
* Your order is saved in the default vehicles.xml, so no additional clutter
* Enter your vehicles directly with a click of a (mouse) button
* This is meant literally, see known issues
* Park your vehicles, so that a switch of vehicles via Tab ignores them
* Repair vehicles and its implements
* Displaying a store image next to the list
* Info box with additional informations
* Motor on/off, turned on/off (for e.g. harvester) and light status is saved and restored
* Different colors in the list if a vehicle is selected, or currently used by a helper/Courseplay
* Config Menu
* Config is saved per savegame within modsSettings/VehicleExplorer/savegameX
* Show/hide trains in the list
* Show/hide station cranes in the list (No idea if that actually works, would need a map with a crane to test)
* Show/hide steerable implements/trailers (e.g. forwarder trailer with crane)
* Show/hide brand names in the list
* Show/hide your own name when you enter a vehicle
* Show/hide horse power in the list
* Show/hide fill levels in the list
* Show/hide implements in the list
* Show/hide store images
* Show/hide infobox
* Change text size
* Change list background transparency
* Enable/disable saving of the additional vehicle status (motor, turnedOn, lights)
* Show/hide keybindings in the game F1 help menu (needs a game restart to take affect)
### Known issues
* Although you can change all the keyboard bindings, the mouse actions are hardcoded for now
* Left mouse click: Enter vehicle
* Right mouse click: Select vehicle (to e.g. move it)
* Right mouse click: Change value in the config menu
* Mouse wheel: Selection up/down in list
* The actual ‘tab order’ of vehicles is not changed
* Metric measuring units are used
* Chaining for implements
* For now just the directly attached implements get respected. This means for repair and the info box just a e.g. trailer is recognized, but not a trailer which is attached to another trailer
* Max of three columns. If you’ve more vehicles (which would be insane anyways , just disable the display of brand name etc
* A wrong value for horse power is displayed for trains
* Sometimes selling or resetting a vehicle is causing a flickering of the vehicle list. I’ve already an idea why, just have to look more into it.
As a workaround you just have to move any vehicle a position up or down, then a reshuffle is triggered and the list is rendered properly again.
### Incompatible Mods
* SpeedControl (to be fixed)

## Note that the current version does NOT support multiplayer!
Quite frankly, I’ve no idea about the MP code needed and also no possibility to test it. Actually I think it shouldn’t be a big deal, and maybe it already works by just changing
the MP setting in the moddesc.xml from false to true. I assume just the parking possibility has an impact to MP.
