Necessary Files Replacement vehicles usually lack the necessary files to function as addon vehicles. Sometimes they just include a new texture pack, sometimes they include a new model and textures but no data files. Depending on what you already have, different files need to be created.   Scenario 1: Textures only This is the scenario where you need to do the most work. Since there is no model data to work with, but you need a model for an addon car, you first need to export

This guide describes how to install a replacement vehicle that does not yet have an install.xml file   Converting an replacement vehicle for usage with LML is very simple and often even less work than adding an addon vehicle. If you want to convert a replacement vehicle to an addon vehicle instead, check out our guide here.   Concept When installing replacement vehicles, you usually either directly replace the files in an RPF or use the mods folder to replace them.

This guide describes how to install an addon ped that does not yet have an install.xml file Converting an addon ped for usage with LML is very simple in most cases.   Folder Layout Create a new subfolder in your "lml" folder. We like to keep things clean, so we move all streaming files (the model and the textures such ydd, yft and ymt) into a subfolder called "streaming".

The mods.xml folder allows you to enable and disable mods as well as specifiy their load order. It will be auto-generated if not present and can be found in the lml folder. New mods will be automatically added and are enabled by default. The tag IsExtension in an install.xml file allows you to indicate that a given mod package is extending another mod. If set to true, the extension package will automatically be added as the last item in the mods.xml load order (the default is new mods are added

Since version 0.2 audio archives (.awc) can now be replaced using Lenny's Mod loader. The syntax is the same as for any file replacement, but you need to make sure you are using the audio:/ path.   Example for vehicles.awc To replace your vehicles.awc (located in RESIDENT.RPF) with a modified version, you can use the code below.
