Released: Better Winch v1.0.0.0

Hello everyone. As part of a collaboration with Roughneck Modding Crew and Gamer Designs, I have written an update to the vanilla winch system. This addon allows the vanilla winch to attach to more than just trees.

You can find it here:

There is little to no configuration required to use the system. It creates "hard points" at the trailer attacher location for most in game vehicles just by having the mod installed and activated.

Most other dynamic objects, such as bales and pallets are also supported without any additional configuration. This is done by targeting the existing tension belt meshes for those objects.

Adding hard points to a vehicle is as simple as dropping a small compound child collision with the cpu mesh flag set. From there, the mod should detect that shape and allow you to attach at that point on the vehicle.

Finally, the "attach ring" can be adjusted by using two additional binds, right shift + colon and right shift + quote by default. The orientation of the ring can be changed by pressing right shift + L by default.

Multiplayer is supported as well, so everything should work much like it does with the trees in vanilla.

That's all, take it easy and enjoy!
