Latest file for v1.20.4:
boatiespeedie12 1.0.3.zip 1-click install


Simple mod made by editing the boat json, changing its speed to 2.6 times the speed of the raft.

 

WARNING: CAREFULLY TEST THE BOAT IF YOU PUT AN ELK IN IT, HE MIGHT BUG OUT AND DIE.

 

Fair to say i don't know much about modding this game or any game in general, so if you find any mistakes or issues with the files, please let me know. Any tips on how to fix the issues would be greatly appreciated.

Morgolgo This mod was made in the same way, after editing the singleplayer files i ran the modmaker tool and it exported the edited files into a mod.

DUCATISLO Gotcha, should be fixed now, finally.

i think you need to fix your modinfo.json file as it looks pretty messy

💬 DUCATISLO, Feb 25th at 1:15 PM

 

i think you messed up something again for you mod (this is for the servers auto download)

FYI to anyone trying to find a way to change boat and raft speed in singleplayer without using a mod:

I edited "boat.json" found within C:\Users\[YOURUSERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Vintagestory\assets\survival\entities\water and changed

 

speedMultiplierByType: {
"boat-raft-*": 1.0,
"boat-sailed-*": 1.2

TO:

speedMultiplierByType: {
"boat-raft-*": 1.3,
"boat-sailed-*": 1.6

 

This gave me a noticeable speed boost without seeming to change turn speed or feeling completely ridiculous or OP. I have not unlocked the elk and cannot confirm if it works with these changes. Do so at your own risk.

I also use the Rivers mod and changed river speed to either 2.0 or 1.5 which lets me go upriver using both a raft and a boat. It is slow but I felt it was balanced enough for a improvised solution such as this.

I host a private ad hoc server for a handful of other players and it worked in this case.

This was on version 1.20.4

Yeah, I just noticed that as well.

💬 Chumber, Feb 24th at 3:27 AM

It's not the file name, it's because there's no version number in the modinfo json.

💬 SicilianSSFR , Feb 22nd at 8:52 PM

Cuddly_Khan Oops, i'll fix that

💬 Cuddly_Khan, Feb 22nd at 4:43 AM

This mod doesn't work on servers. I think it's because the name of both version 1.0.1 and 1.0.0 is "boatiespeedie12" making it not know which one to download

💬 DUCATISLO, Feb 21st at 11:14 AM

pretty cool

💬 Whiteshadoh, Feb 21st at 2:43 AM

Mod works just fine, editing the value seems to cause VS to say mod wont run but it still runs just fine with increaed or decreased speed values.
Thanks for a working modification to the boat speed SicilianSSFR

Ragolution That mod doesn't work in my game, it just slows the boat turn rate.

💬 Ragolution, Feb 20th at 11:25 PM

What does this mod offer that's different from https://mods.vintagestory.at/speedboat ?
