[List] Default GTA vehicles' kitName list - from carcols.meta

I could never figure out what’s going on with the <kitName/> and <id value="[number]" />. Every number I chose, was wrong and the kit never worked. Only the default numbers, from default vehicles worked. But then the default vehicles’ visual addons were broken for example.

Long story short, I took OpenIV and exported all of the kitNames from all carcols.meta files.

Total kitNames number (duplicates): 1126
Total kitNames number (unique): 335
Ranges: 83-91; 96-453 (with some exceptions); 999

So technically every other number should work just fine, when you are adding a new, custom modKit.

What I usually do is set the modkit id to a random number in the 1000-2000 etc range and it works just fine, unless the given number is already used by another vehicle. Also you want to make sure you’ve written the same kitname in both the carcols.meta and carvariations.meta.

Little snippet taken from one of the vehicles:

carcols.meta:

 <kitName>camaro70_modkit</kitName>     
 <id value="1600" />

carvariations.meta:

<kits>
 <Item>camaro70_modkit</Item>
</kits>

Hopefully this helped you.
