Changelog

0.5.1

Fixed

• The Driving skill's description ran outside its tooltip and over the skills behind it.

0.5.0

Added

• A motorcycle: a classic two-stroke with one rider, who sits on it in the open.
• The rider holds the handlebars.
• It holds itself upright and will not fall over.
• A Motorcycle Key, and a fourth prize for Huskarl's gambling.
• skeid out, which gets you out of any vehicle. It works for everyone, not just admins.

Fixed

• Everybody who got out of a vehicle was left sitting down in everyone else's game.
• Removing a vehicle with somebody in it left them stuck, still counted as driving it.
• A vehicle going away for any reason now puts its rider down first.

0.4.0

Added

• An aeroplane: a WW1 biplane with one seat, which flies.
• Double-tap Jump to take off, again to come down, and touching the ground lands it.
• In the air it handles like a car: the throttle moves it, letting go holds it where it is, and the direction keys turn it. Looking up or down climbs and dives.
• An Aeroplane Key, and a third prize for Huskarl's gambling.
• The Highseat tab has a spawn button for each of the three. It only ever spawned the coupe.
• skeid spawn low and skeid spawn plane, and skeid key plane.

Changed

• Skeid lists any setting you have changed from its default when the game starts.
• Hovering an aeroplane says Aeroplane rather than Skeid, and the lowrider says Lowrider.

Fixed

• A lowrider parked near a dungeon could be deleted when that dungeon reset. Only the coupe was ever protected from it.
• A full car said it was full when it still had empty seats, because it only looked at the first passenger seat.

0.3.0

Added

• A Driving skill that levels as you drive. It appears in the skills window and stays with you between sessions.
• At Driving 100 a car is 20 mph faster and pulls much harder out of corners and up hills.
• A speedometer at the bottom of the screen while you are in a car, marking the speed only the boost reaches and how much boost is left.
• skeid skill to see what your level is worth, and skeid skill 100 to set it.

Changed

• The lowrider's hydraulics hop far harder, and the default strength is up from 5.5 to 9.

Fixed

• The lowrider's hop always lifted the nose, so a car stuck at the back was pushed further down into whatever it was caught on. It now lifts whichever end is buried.

0.2.0

Added

• A second car: a 1964 Impala lowrider, with the top down and four seats.
• Riders are visible in the lowrider, since it has no roof to hide them.
• Car Key and Lowrider Key items. Use one to bring your car out, and again to put it away. Any key works, and each one only answers for its own car.
• Spray cans. Stand by your car, pick from fourteen colours, and press Paint It. Clicking a colour tries it on first, so nothing is used until you choose.
• Your key remembers the colour, so a car comes back the way you left it.
• Hydraulics on the lowrider. Press Space to hop it off anything it has beached on.
• skeid seat to move between seats without getting out.

Changed

• Cars now come out of a key. An admin hands out keys rather than cars.
• A car cannot be put away with somebody sitting in it, or from more than twenty metres away.

Fixed

• Cars stopped responding after driving at speed for a few seconds.
• Crashing nose-first into a bank left a car unable to drive at all.

0.1.1

Changed

• Rewrote the readme so it reads like something a player would want to read.

0.1.0

First release.

Added

• An admin-spawned racecar, from the Highseat Skeid tab or the skeid console command.
• Two seats. The first person in drives, the second rides, and both need a key.
• Keys given out by holding Use on the car and clicking a nearby player. They survive a server restart, and taking one back turns that player out of the seat.
• Arcade handling with suspension on all four corners, a boost on Shift and a handbrake on right mouse.
• Wheels that steer, spin at road speed and ride the bumps.
• Fells any tree it hits, and crushes the rocks and bushes that would otherwise stop it dead.
• Picks up loose items it drives over instead of destroying them.
• Ramming a creature hurts it, scaled by speed and credited to the driver.
• Floats and paddles on water.
• Takes no damage and never despawns on its own.
• Hold Use on an upturned car to flip it back over.
• A synthesised engine note that answers the throttle.
• A car stereo on F. Paste a YouTube link, a direct MP3, OGG or WAV, or a radio stream.
• Stereo sound comes from the car and fades with distance, and everyone hears the same moment of the same track.
• Valheim's own music ducks while the stereo plays and fades back in as you walk away.
• Paint colour and every handling figure are configurable.
• The car model is a plain OBJ file next to the mod and can be swapped for another.

Notes

• Everyone needs Skeid installed, including the server, or the car will not exist for them.
• YouTube needs Odin on Demand installed. Without it the stereo still plays anything the game can decode on its own.
