Converting vehicle to addon (Research Done)

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion
1

I’ve done TONS of research onto how to convert a replace vehicle to addon and tried experimenting with exe’s, metadata files, and simply attempting to rename files. Can I please just get a real-quick step-by-step guide? Do I simply go into the vehicles.meta replace the with what I want and rename the files?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. I still wasn’t able to figure it out. I’m going to release my car just being a replace I guess. :slight_smile:

Download a car from GTA5MODS. If it’s an .rpf file? Put that .rpf file in a folder in GTA5. Open OpenIV. Open the folder.
Make a new folder on your desktop (doesn’t matter) that has a stream folder inside it. and a __resource.lua.
Place your .meta files under your __resource.lua. Place the .y(td,mt,…) files in the stream folder.

Then open your __resource.lua and copy this in there:

resource_manifest_version '77731fab-63ca-442c-a67b-abc70f28dfa5'
 
files {
    'vehicles.meta',
    'handling.meta',
	'dlctext.meta',
	'carvariations.meta',
	'carcols.meta',
}
 
data_file 'HANDLING_FILE' 'handling.meta'
data_file 'VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE' 'vehicles.meta'
data_file 'DLCTEXT_FILE' 'dlctext.meta'
data_file 'CARVARIATIONS_FILE' 'carvariations.meta'
data_file 'CARCOLS_FILE' 'carcols.meta'

Keep in mind don’t just cope and paste it. Look which .meta files you have.

It’s always the same. The tutorial tells you exactly the same. The only way to stream a vehicle.
