1.Explanations :

- This tool is quite complex and will allow you to make vehicle modifications a little easier.

- To begin with, this tool installs the vehicles.meta, handling.meta, carvariations.meta and carcols.meta
files of all vehicles in the update.rpf archive.
the ones that will allow you not to have a copy of each DLC you want to modify a vehicle and save a lot of space.

- By default multiple vehicles can use the same line of code in handling.meta files.
I tried to fix this and added a total of 113 new lines of code in multiples handling.meta

- I rewrote all the .meta files in 2 orders. (except carcols.meta and .ymt files, because it is impossible to edit .ymt files with green tags or spaces to save the files they will automatically be deleted)
The 1st is in alphabetical order of car brand names.
The second is that in each make of vehicle, vehicle models are also rewritten in alphabetical order.
PS : For the alphabetical order by car brands I added tags not read by the game to find the vehicles simply.


2.How to Use once installed:

- The meta files of the base game vehicles must be modified in these locations (in mods folder) :
update / update.rpf / common / data / handling.meta
update / update.rpf / common / data / levels / gta5 / vehicles.meta
update / update.rpf / x64 / data / carcols.ymt
update / update.rpf / x64 / data / carvariations.ymt

- The meta files of vehicles include in all DLC (old-gen and next-gen) must be modified in these locations
update / update.rpf / dlc patch / CHOOSE A DLC / common / data / carcols.meta
update / update.rpf / dlc patch / CHOOSE A DLC / common / data / carvariations.meta
update / update.rpf / dlc patch / CHOOSE A DLC / common / data / handling.meta
update / update.rpf / dlc patch / CHOOSE A DLC / common / data / levels / gta5 / vehicles.meta

- I advise you to create an "addon DLC" or use the last patch in [update / x64 / dlcpacks] to add the models and textures of the vehicles you want to replace.
- PS : The last Patch of the version 1.68 is "patch2023_02"

- If you want to rename vehicles in game I advise you to use the file "global.gxt2" located here :
update / update.rpf / x64 / patch / data / lang / CHOOSE A LANG REL.rpf
I found this little solution super useful the global.gxt2 has this place to the particularity of being able to patch
between 95 and 99 percent of all the names of the brand and vehicles of the game or even DLC addon
