Better Towing Missions (UE4SS)

Description

Fixes some bugs/limitations in the payment calculations for the towing missions to make doing the heavy towing/rescue missions actually worth while. Namely, unlike some of the other missions (like the taxi missions), the range bonus you get from these missions are based on the straight line distance and not actual road distance. This can result in you having to tow a vehicle 18 miles, yet only get paid for 10. 

Additionally, this mod also fixes an issue with the bonus multiplier you get for doing rescue missions. The current multiplier caps out at 2 tonnes, while this mod extends it to 25 tonnes so you actually get paid more for having to bring a heavy wrecker/rotator. What a concept.

Installation instructions

1. Install the latest experimental UE4SS release beside `MotorTown-Win64-Shipping.exe` if not already installed.

2. Copy the included `BetterTowingMissions` folder to

Motor Town\MotorTown\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\BetterTowingMissions3. Keep `enabled.txt` in the mod folder.

4. Keep UE4SS's `EnableAutoReloadingLuaMods` setting disabled. This mod safely reloads its own configuration.

5. Start or restart the game. Look for `BetterTowingMissions` in `ue4ss\UE4SS.log` to confirm that it loaded.

Edit `config.ini` to customize the mod. Configuration changes are detected within about two seconds, so the game does not need to be restarted.
