Creating a personal DLC Pack with vehicles, and replacing overriding previous models, like what controls whether or not the content inside of DLC will override all the originals models?

I created a DLC named JZersche, if I were to put a police model in it, and then spawn a police car, the original model from the game would spawn, what determines what models override the previous?

I assumed it was the load order in the dlclist file, but I started having issues recently where things in my personal DLC pack weren't overriding things from another even though mine loaded last. So I'm not entirely sure now.

I generally just put addons in a custom DLC, and all replacements into patchday11ng.

I do plan to check out this mod though, sounds interesting.

I might be able to reverse-engineer RDE, and see how they did it.

youd have to rename the model name. so if you put in a model thats used for police2 slot, rename it in your dlc files to what the model is, like use Charger, if it was that which you used for the model in the add on..then you have to spawn vehicle by name using a trainer. 

im just now trying to figure out how to make them work as well.

I know how to make DLCs, What I don't know how to do is add police2 to that DLC as police2, therefore NOT ADDING a vehicle, but updating it, without having to rename,

I figured out how to do it.

Your setup2.xml file should look like this:
 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SSetupData>
  <deviceName>dlc_jzersche</deviceName>
  <datFile>content.xml</datFile>
  <timeStamp>00/00/0000 00:00:00</timeStamp>
  <contentChangeSetGroups>
    <Item>
      <NameHash>GROUP_STARTUP</NameHash>
      <ContentChangeSets>
        <Item>jzersche_AUTOGEN</Item>
      </ContentChangeSets>
    </Item>
  </contentChangeSetGroups>
  <type>EXTRACONTENT_COMPAT_PACK</type>
  <order value="99" />  
</SSetupData>

Notice order value is 99, this can be an even higher number and your models will replace in 99th priority.


In content.xml, you should have a line like this
 

    <Item>
      <filename>dlc_jzersche:/%PLATFORM%/vehicles.rpf</filename>
      <fileType>RPF_FILE</fileType>
      <locked value="true" />
      <overlay value="true" />
      <disabled value="true" />
      <persistent value="true" />
    </Item>

persistent should be true, and so should overlay and locked value.
