File Type:VEHICLE_VARIATION_FILE

Carvariations is used for assigning colors, kits, lights, etc to vehicles in GTA V. For modifying these settings, see carcols.ymt. This file is the successor to carcols.dat in previous games.

variationData

Struct:CVehicleVariationData



modelName

Vehicle model name.

colors

Struct:CVehicleModelColorIndices



There can be only 25 color variations per vehicle. Exceeding that amount will cause color IDs to overlap each other.

indices

Colors IDs, called from carcols.ymt. Those IDs are listed in an array with up to 6 IDs.

  • First ID: Primary Color
  • Second ID: Secondary Color
  • Third ID: Pearlescent Color
  • Fourth ID: Wheel Color
  • Fifth ID: Extra1 Color (typically used for interiors)
  • Sixth ID: Extra2 Color (typically used for dials)

Some recent DLC vehicles feature a seventh color ID; however, it doesn't do anything and is ignored by the game.

liveries

Sets whether or not to use a livery texture in the vehicle's .ytd. This will not toggle on modkit liveries or livery2's.

Value: true or false.

The Items position under liveries is the texture's number. Example: If you wanted to set the Marshall to use livery #8 (flag_sign_8 in marshall.ytd), you would set the eighth Item to true.

kits

kitName in carcols.ymt that the vehicle uses.
