Add on handling files (issues)

FiveM Resource Development Discussion
1

First and for most, it is possible to do add on vehicle handling for add on vehicles, correct? I downloaded an F350 King Ranch from gta5mods and it was a DLC file, so I put it in open IV and took all the files from it (meta files and actual vehicle files) and put them in the data/stream folders. It had a handling.meta file in it, so I included that in my “data” folder and added a line for it in my resource.lua, but every time I spawn it, it crashes. However, when I put a default handling like (for example Bison) it spawns and works just fine, just has terrible handling because well, its not the correct one. Can Anyone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Seems your carcols.meta, carvariations.meta, handling.meta, and vehicles.meta are all in the same directory I assume but you’re setting the handling data file to

data_file 'HANDLING_FILE' 'handling.meta'

when the rest of your .meta files are being called from the data/ directory.

data_file 'VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE' 'data/vehicles.meta'
data_file 'CARCOLS_FILE' 'data/carcols.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_VARIATON_FILE' 'data/carvariations.meta'

I would get rid of the data folder and throw your all of your .meta files in the main directory of the resource and then make sure your streaming the vehicles in a stream/ directory inside of the resource. Here is a look at what my vehicles/ resource looks like.

and my __resource.lua file looks like this:

resource_manifest_version '77731fab-63ca-442c-a67b-abc70f28dfa5'
 
files {
    'vehicles.meta',
    'carvariations.meta',
    'carcols.meta',
    'handling.meta',
    'vehiclelayouts.meta',
}

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'

client_script 'vehicle_names.lua'

I dont have a vehicle_name.lua although. Do I have to have it or no? If so, how do I get it?

I fixed my resource file, deleted the data folder and moved it to the mods main directory and I still crash when I try to spawn it.
