Hi, in the past you had to override one of the cars "$carres00", ..., "$carind00", ... in order to get your own residential/commercial/industrial cars into the game. Version 437 will change that behavior. The game will then identify such cars not by their id but by the tags they set.

To mark your car as level1 residential car use

Code: Select all

"meta":{
  "tags":{
    "carres0":{}
  }
}

For a level 3 industrial car use

Code: Select all

"meta":{
  "tags":{
    "carind2":{}
  }
}

The complete definition of a level 1 residential car would look like

Code: Select all

 {
  "id":"$carres00",
  "type":"car",
  "frames":[
    {"x":512,"y":512,"w":12,"h":10,"count":8}
  ],
  "v2":true,
  "auto colorize":true,    // Can be used to color white frames
  "flag normal":false,     // This is not a normal car as it's not a truck
  "flag pkw":true,         // And only for person transport
  "meta":{
    "tags":{
      "carres0":{}         // You may use mutliple tags for one car
    }
  }
}

I consider to will add support for plugins that aren't updated to these changes (as by default, a override would remove any tag information, therefore outdated plugins wouldn't work anymore). These changes are needed in order to add more rci cars without tampering with the existing ones.

@lobby only extensions that use the override feature will not work?

Posted: **Sun Feb 25, 2018 15:21**

Yes, cars that override $carres00 etc. might not work as expected anymore. I suggest to use your own id for your cars then and add the appropriate tags as shown above.

This is indeed very useful for me

Service cars can now be tagged the same way. So you can just add new medic cars for example.

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"fire brigade":{}}}

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"medic":{}}}

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"police":{}}}

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"swat":{}}}

is there a tag for military vehicles as well?

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 2018 23:31**

I will add

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"military tank":{}}}

and

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"military truck":{}}}

The difference between the two is the building they spawn from.

Is there a tag for farm tractors? Can also trailers/tails be added using this method?

Posted: **Wed Aug 29, 2018 23:26**

Probably:

Code: Select all

"meta":{
  "tags":{
    "carind0":{}
  }
}

.or similar.

#tail let's see.

Car Chains

Right, I thought tails were in the car spawner for some reason. Thank you very much for the info @CommanderABab !

@Lobby

Is there also a tag for the airport cars?

Posted: **Sat Nov 10, 2018 12:30**

@A dutch Guy Great idea!
I'll add the tag "airport taxi" for it. Usage:

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"airport taxi":{}}}

Is there a tag for bus?

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"bus":{}}}

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2019 23:43**

The tag is:

Code: Select all

"meta":{"tags":{"idle bus":{}}}

I understand this was made to prevent incompatiblity, but is there any way to override those IDs anyway? I wanted to edit semi-trucks because they are not realistic in their current state and they usually block traffic with their weird trailer chains (this is why shops in real life use smaller trucks too.). The traffic system works way better with the older trucks. I guess the semis could be used for long distance transport to the end of the map? (neighbour connections)
