I have 3 separate police car packs which I use to replace the models. The packs are just duplicates of each other and I need to modify the handling of the cars. (They all have different file names now). The original pack came with these files:

(this is the data folder, resource.lua is outside)

Is there a way to add a handling.meta file to the pack so I can modify it? Would I need to extract the vanilla handling meta and copy paste? I’m a bit clueless.

Thanks for any help, here are some other details:

The files in the pack

Copy the handling.meta from the original GTA, through OpenIV.

Delete everything except the police cars, and then just change the handling from for example “police4” to “police8” and then use that as a copy-paste template.

Remember to update the handling line in vehicles.meta for the cars.

Well, it’s not working at all.

Got it, apparently the way I did comments below wasn’t correct, how should I go about labeling the handling lines?

Here’s what I’ve done following what you said.

PS. is this the correct way to add comments?
It is not.

In addition to that saga above,

After trying to change my police7-police10 from their default handling lines of “POLICE” to my copy-pasted police handling renamed to police7-police10 they crash my game when spawned.

  • I tried clearing cache, no change.

  • I changed them back to “POLICE”, still broken, I must have messed something up in vehicles.meta

  • Replaced vehicles.meta with my backup, trying again

  • Changing <handlingId>POLICE</handlingId> to <handlingId>POLICE10</handlingId> crashes game when spawning police10 again

So here’s where I’m at now, doesn’t work just crashes game

Why even make a handling.meta if you can just put a handling of a normal gta 5 vehicle on there by using the vehicles.meta. for example you can just put the POLICE handling in the vehicles.meta. i have never made a handling.meta before for my carpacks because i just change the handling in the vehicles.meta this takes no time and is way easier then making a handling file.

Because the default handling is terrible… and it doesn’t always match the car properly.
