CARS is a section in the item definition file in GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, and GTA IV. It is used to define vehicles and some their properties.

Format

GTA III

This section is mainly used in the .\data\default.ide file. Each type of vehicle has its own format.

end
GTA III Identifier Type Description
A Id integer Unique object ID.
B ModelName string Name of the .dff model file without extension.
C TxdName string Name of the .txd texture dictionary without extension.
D Type string Type of vehicle, which includes car, boat, train, heli, plane, and bike.
This data is related to hardcoded functions and must not be changed or else it might crash the game. The bike type is never used in the game but is documented here for sake of completion.
E HandlingId string Name corresponding to its handling data in the handling.cfg file.
F GameName string Name corresponding to its GXT entry, case sensitive and must be seven characters or less!
Vehicles with an invalid name will show up as MODEL missing when entered

Comprules

This is a list of all non-zero values used in the column.

Non-Zero Value Effect Vehicle(s)
0x1f10 Forces vehicle to always spawn with one of its first two extras. If a vehicle has more than two extras, one of the first two will always spawn and another extra also may spawn with either of the first two extras. Very rarely (likely due to a glitch) these vehicles can spawn without an extra. Taxi, Hoods Rumpo XL
0x2ff0 When it is raining, vehicle will spawn with its first extra. Vehicle may also spawn with other extras (if present in the model) in addition to the first extra. Stinger, Stallion

Wheels

Wheel models are located in the ..\models\generic\wheels.DFF file. Their textures are located in the ..\models\misc.txd file. Just like the cars themselves they are defined inside the ..\data\default.ide file by default. The following table shows the different wheels and their ID's.

E HandlingId string Name corresponding to its handling data in the handling.cfg file.
F GameName string Name corresponding to its GXT entry, case sensitive and must be seven characters or less.
Invalid name will not show up in the game.

Wheels

The location of the definition files, models and textures are just the same as for GTA III. However there are some different textures and models. The following table shows all Vice City wheels and their ID's.

San Andreas

By default all cars are defined inside the .\data\vehicles.ide file.

Car

ID, ModelName, TxdName, Type, HandlingID, GameName, Anims, Class, Frequency, Flags, Comprules, WheelID, WheelScale_Front, WheelScale_Rear, Unknown_value
Identifier Description
ID Unique model ID
ModelName Name of the .dff model file without extension.
TxdName Name of the .txd texture dictionary without extension.
Type Type of vehicle, which includes trailer, bmx, bike, train, boat, plane, heli, quad, mtruck and car
HandlingID Name corresponding to its handling data in the handling.cfg file.
GameName Name corresponding to its GXT entry, case sensitive and must be seven characters or less.
Invalid name will not show up in the game.
Anims Appropriate character animation
Class Class of the vehicle
Frequency Frequency of the vehicle spawning randomly on the streets.
Flags Unknown integer.
Comprules Component rules, alters how vehicle models' "extras" behave, see below for list
WheelID Wheel index, needs to be -1 for vehicles to use wheel model defined in the vehicle's model (wheels.dff is no longer used)
WheelScale_Front Scale of front wheels and collision models for types car, trailer, quad, mtruck, bmx and bike
WheelScale_Rear Scale of rear wheels and collision models for types car, trailer, quad, mtruck, bmx and bike
Wheel Upgrade Class The wheel set this vehicle relates to, the ids are equivalent to the ones defined in carmods.dat

Flags

According to the vehicles.ide file, flag 0x01 streams a vehicle out after it has been spawned once, and flag 0x02 whis is "used internally". There are 3 vehicles that use flag 0x01, none that use flag 0x02, and one that uses 0x07, which is not mentioned at all.

Non-Zero Value Vehicle(s)
0x01 Dumper, Mr. Whoopee, Pizzaboy
0x07 Huntley

Comprules

This is a list of all non-zero values used in the column.

Non-Zero Value Vehicle(s)
0x1012 Tram
0x1f10 Taxi, Barracks Ol, Coach, Cabbie, Slamvan
0x2ff0 Sabre, Comet, Savanna, Broadway, Tornado
0x3012 Coast Guard

0x1f341210 NRG500
0x30123345 Caddy
0x3f341210 FCR900, BF400

Wheels

Wheel models are now in the same model as the vehicle itself. The wheels.dff and wheels.txd are present but not used. If the "WheelID" is -1, the game will scale the wheel collision, but NOT the wheel model. If "WheelID" is 0, the game will scale the collision AND the wheel model, however this only works properly if the wheel model is set up properly before exporting.

GTA IV

By default all cars are defined inside the ..\common\data\vehicles.ide file.

Vehicle Classes

The class of a vehicle helps determines where a vehicle should spawn, with the help of hardcoded features and the script. The ignore class is special for its ability to prevent vehicles assigned to that class from spawning as a regular NPC vehicle in traffic. Peds can be assigned to drive a class of vehicle in the PEDS section of the IDE file. The Mr Whoopee in GTA III uses the unique class special that no other vehicles have used. The following table shows the classes that are available and used in the game.
