I've spent hours trying to figure out how to add vehicle to GTA V using LML, and I still cannot get it to work. I am most likely doing something wrong so this will probably be an easy fix but just want to make sure.

 

I am trying to install an addon vehicle: 2014 SAHP Charger

File Structure:

 

SAHP 14 Charger > install.xml

 

SAHP 14 Charger > data > sahp14charger.meta (vehicles.meta line)

 

SAHP 14 Charger > stream > 

sahp14charger.yft

sahp14charger.ytd

sahp14charger+hi.ytd

sahp14charger_hi.yft

 

 

 

Install.xml

Is this the one you used? https://www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta5mods/vehiclemodels/20430-2014-sahp-dodge-charger-els/

I just tried it with everything you provided and it spawns perfectly fine in-game. What is the issue you are encountering? Does it not spawn at all?

I just tried it with everything you provided and it spawns perfectly fine in-game. What is the issue you are encountering? Does it not spawn at all?

 

It just says cannot load invalid model, like it doesn't exist.

I also noticed that even though I changed the name in the XML, it still says "My Car" in the mod loader, I have reinstalled the loader, reinstalled the mod, restarted my PC, and it still won't seem to change from "My Car" to SAHP14Charger which is the name specified in the install.xml. I used the same setup for my other cars and they work fine and the names change correctly, not the case here for some strange reason.

If the model is invalid that usually means it did not load the vehicles.meta correctly. Can you attach your ModManager and vfs.log? You could scan it yourself and check for when it processes the charger and see if you see any issues with the vehicles.meta.

 

The name only updates on the first installation in the UI, not on subsequent edits (to prevent having to parse all files again). But I will see if I can improve that in the future.

I feel like the loaded should be smart enough to recognize the file, but maybe try renaming the meta file to vehicles.meta?
