📋 About This Mod
/!\ This is 2. 0 unofficial update by me (plopyy), but author is Area8888 /!\
This mod gives the ability to open or close pretty much any non-powered door, gate and drawbridges by pressing the horn while riding or driving a
vehicle. It will not open locked doors unless it is your door. It has
two animation mode types in the settings, the default allows a quick
double tap for open and close. The second animation option will push
things out of the way with a smoother transition from open and close.
The distance for opening and closing doors settings can be adjusted in
the HornOpensDoorsConfig.xml file.
Requires the 0_TFP_Harmony folder in your Mods folder.
Required server-side and client-side.
Compatible with the Elevator (V1. 0) mod using optional patch.
Compatible with the War3zuk AIO Overhaul mod and the HD Truck Elevator mod using optional patch.
Also Available

Forward/Backward/Brake to stop the automatic forward movement. Works for

toggled on and off in the radial menu. It can also be used to recover
