Introduction

This mod adds the Tornado Intercept Vehicle 2, or TIV2 for short. The vehicle is a heavily modified Dodge Ram 3500 with 1/8 inch thick steel armour, as well as hydraulic flaps and spikes to anchor the vechicle to the ground, which will prevent the vechicle flying in tornadic winds.
It's designed to work with Protomanly's Weather Mod.

(real TIV2 compared to minecraft)

Deployment placement matters!

The mod has a mechanic that determines your threshold based on the terrain the vehicle is on. This means that you cannot deploy on a single block, over a hole or on uneven terrain since you will get lofted easier

The optimal placement is when every wheel of the tiv is on the ground

However, if the tiv is deployed on uneven terrain with many holes and parts of the body in the air the threshold will change accordingly

Controls

• Deploy/Undeploy - X
• Toggle headlights on/off - H
• Drive forward - W
• Drive backwards - S
• Turn left - A
• Turn right - D
• Reset max windspeed - 0 (zero, not O)
• Pick up vehicle - Shift + Right-click
• Handbrake - Space
• Change seats - B
• Enter/Exit imax turrent - up arrow (if you are sitting in 3rd seat)

Weather 2 support

For now, only versions below 1.3.3 work with Weather2

How to change threshold

The tiv has a default deployed threshold of 220 MPH, and 120 MPH undeployed. Click Esc -> Go into Mods -> Find Tornado intercept tools -> Click Config -> Choose Server Settings -> Type whatever numbers you want!

Crafting

FAQ

-Will you be adding more interceptors?

Yes, i definetly plan to add all of them (the doms, tivs, tornado attack, armadillo, utav, maybe titus and tornado wrangler but probably not) as well as normal cars with attachable mesonets and other stuff.

-Will this be on Bedrock?

Definetly not. Please stop asking for it

-Will it be ported to forge/older versions? (mainly forge 1.20.1)

Yes, it is expected but not on the top of our list right now

-Is it coming to curseforge?

Unless pmw releases on cursforge, no

-Can i become a tester?

No, we don't really need testers, since we know our code best and exactly what bugs to look for. Also don't say this just because you want to play with the new features. Be patient

-Can I post it on (insert random social media/website other than modrinth) (yes i am talking about telegram, or curseforge)

No. The only legal way to download the mod is through modrinth.

To Elton, who made all of the more complex code that i could only dream of doing in Mcreator that makes the mod actually fun to play

To Metro, who made all the crazy models that really put the mod to life, i don't think i could ever find a better modeler than him
