Frequently asked questions
Which files does Easy Meta generate?
All four core vehicle meta files — vehicles.meta, handling.meta, carvariations.meta, and carcols.meta — as valid XML, from a guided form.
Do I need to know XML to use Easy Meta?
No. You fill in form fields and export valid meta files without writing a single line of XML by hand.
How do I get realistic handling values?
Start from a known-good vanilla GTA5 handling entry (for example POLICE) to get sensible baselines for mass, drive force, and traction, then adjust incrementally.
Does Easy Meta handle kit IDs and siren wiring?
Yes — it assigns kit IDs and wires the carcols and carvariations references automatically, which prevents the modkit ID conflicts that make vehicles share liveries or parts.
