How to use Addon Vehicles

Hey i have a question thats been bothering me for a while “how do i add addon cars to my server?” I dont understand how to do it and would love someone to explain to me as it would be a great addition to my server thanks!

Hey!

First thing is to open your dlc file you downloaded from the car. You need to open it in “OPENIV”

Create a folder, could be any name but remember it because you will need it in server.cfg. Create the folder in the “Resources” folder.

Inside of that folder create a folder called “stream” with small letters. Drag all your ytd or yft files from the dlc file earlier. And the other lua files should be in the first folder, in your server.cfg one.

Create a “__resource” lua file. Itneeds to be 2 underscores. If you should use the replace car method now your done just add the folder name to server.cfg and you’re ready to go.

But for addon cars you need to add this to your __resource.lua file.

resource_manifest_version ‘77731fab-63ca-442c-a67b-abc70f28dfa5’

files {
‘vehicles.meta’,
‘carvariations.meta’,
‘carcols.meta’,
‘handling.meta’,
‘vehiclelayouts.meta’, – Not Required
}

data_file ‘HANDLING_FILE’ ‘handling.meta’
data_file ‘VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE’ ‘vehicles.meta’
data_file ‘CARCOLS_FILE’ ‘carcols.meta’
data_file ‘VEHICLE_VARIATION_FILE’ ‘carvariations.meta’
data_file ‘VEHICLE_LAYOUTS_FILE’ ‘vehiclelayouts.meta’ – Not Required

client_script {
‘vehicle_names.lua’ – Not Required
}

Now just add your folder name to server.cfg and you are ready to rock!

Feel free to ask anything and i will help you.
