Streaming vehicles.meta, how to?

FiveM Resource Development Discussion

Hi all,

I have been having some issues regarding streaming the vehicles.meta server-wide. I have a code in place for it, but it doesn’t seem to work. When I restart the resource, all the vehicles do delete themselves and need ones are created so it does something. It also states in F8 upon joining the server, that it was mounted to CVehicleMetaDataFileMounter. But it doesn’t change anything when I tweak the vehicles.meta file, for instance default tints or what handling vehicle to use. I am using the vehicles.meta that I exported with OpenIV from the GTA-V base game.

__resource.lua content:

resource_manifest_version '77731fab-63ca-442c-a67b-abc70f28dfa5'

files {
    'data/vehicles.meta'
}

data_file 'VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE' 'data/vehicles.meta'

There’s probably something wrong with your file structure

did you figure it out?

To start off turn it into a fxmanifest start with that. Then in your resources folder make a vehicles folder inside the vehicles folder do the fxmanifest and a data and stream folder in the data folder put make new folders of every vehicle u have and put the data files in there. Back to the vehicles folder into the stream folder same thing like the data make the folders and put the streamed files in there.

Are you trying to replace the vehicles.meta of vanilla vehicles? I had the same issue, still no fix :confused:

Okay guys the problem is you cant stream vehicle.meta,vehiclelayout.carcarols and etc for vanilla cars only handling.meta from vanilla cars. maybe you are streaming vanilla ones.If you want to stream vanilla vehicle.meta and other files you need to make addon car for example

what I did
lets take dominator(you take all files of dominator .ytd and yft files)

rename to
1dominator.yft 1dominator.ytd and etc.

then go to vehicles.meta find dominator change all dominator to 1dominator
then same in car carols,vehicle layout, handling and etc.

so bassically you make vanilla car an addon and then when you edit vehicles.meta and other files its gonna work :slight_smile:
