A quick work around is adding the carcols to files like this
Then make the __resource.lua like this

Ofcourse, I just took this one more step and made everything easier. No need for the merge program at all, just modify a _resource.lua file to look like this: (used 2 cars as example: gauntletc and gto )
resource_manifest_version '77731fab-63ca-442c-a67b-abc70f28dfa5'
files {
--gauntletc
'cars/gauntletc/vehicles.meta',
'cars/gauntletc/carvariations.meta',
'cars/gauntletc/carcols.meta',
'cars/gauntletc/handling.meta',
--gto
'cars/gto/vehicles.meta',
'cars/gto/carvariations.meta',
'cars/gto/carcols.meta',
'cars/gto/handling.meta'
-- THE LAST LINE ITEM ABOVE SHOULD NOT HAVE A COMMA ( , ) AT THE END
--'vehiclelayouts.meta', -- Not Required, only used on some addons
}
--gauntletc
data_file 'HANDLING_FILE' 'cars/gauntletc/handling.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE' 'cars/gauntletc/vehicles.meta'
data_file 'CARCOLS_FILE' 'cars/gauntletc/carcols.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_VARIATION_FILE' 'cars/gauntletc/carvariations.meta'
--gto
data_file 'HANDLING_FILE' 'cars/gto/handling.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE' 'cars/gto/vehicles.meta'
data_file 'CARCOLS_FILE' 'cars/gto/carcols.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_VARIATION_FILE' 'cars/gto/carvariations.meta'
--data_file 'VEHICLE_LAYOUTS_FILE' 'vehiclelayouts.meta' --not required, only used on some addons
client_script {
'vehicle_names.lua' -- Not Required, but you might as well add the cars to it (USE GAMENAME not ModelName)
}
Ill attach the file for you:
__resource.lua (1.3 KB)
obviously, I just put the cars .metas into a folder with the cars name, all within a folder called âcarsâ. all of the stream files are in the single âstreamâ folder. The vehicle_names.lua is concatenated (put all the cars names in the one file)
anyway I found this is the easiest way to combine cars into one resource. yes the car mods still work this way too. and if you want to temporarily remove a car you just have to comment out that section of the _resource.lua

You should only have âstreamâ and âcarsâ in your main folder.
Put all your vehicle folders in one âcarsâ folder and youâll be set.

Thank you for posting this, helped me out massively
can you upload the file and give me a download? The old link doesnât work and I lost it on my old computer
Is this thread even being maintained or supported anymore? Broken link, Broken github. Needs new link or something.

Same here,
And also the cars that not are in the pack bugg also if I used the program and put the pack in my server⌠So whats Going wrong?
I canât tune the cars, can anyone solve?
Some cars canât tune
how did you fix this issue?
is it possible to skip xml syntax error as i belive i dont have one or atleast it still works in game even if there is one but i need to merge few handling files
Just. Because it works doesnt mean you dont have a syntax error. Better you find the error and fix or it may cause you issues on other areas. There are all kinds of XML validators on the internet such as wc3school.
See where the button says offset, click that and go to the line.
