Implementation Example​

In carcols.meta, VMT types are used in the <type> field of visible modifications:

<visibleMods>
  <Item>
    <modelName>07gal_spoiler1</modelName>
    <modShopLabel>07gal_spoiler1</modShopLabel>
    <linkedModels />
    <turnOffBones>
      <Item>misc_a</Item>
    </turnOffBones>
    <type>VMT_SPOILER</type>
    <bone>chassis</bone>
    <collisionBone>chassis</collisionBone>
    <cameraPos>VMCP_DEFAULT</cameraPos>
    <audioApply value="1.0" />
    <weight value="20" />
    <turnOffExtra value="false" />
    <disableBonnetCamera value="false" />
    <allowBonnetSlide value="true" />
  </Item>
</visibleMods>

And in the <statMods> section for performance upgrades:

<statMods>
  <Item>
    <identifier />
    <modifier value="25" />
    <audioApply value="1.000000" />
    <weight value="20" />

Important Notes​

  • Interior tiers (VMT_INTERIOR1-5) allow for progressive interior customization levels
  • Chassis slots (VMT_CHASSIS2-5) are used for vehicles with layered body customizations
  • Performance mods (nitrous, turbo, etc.) may not display in LS Customs without proper vehicle flags set in vehicles.meta
  • VMT_ICE is legacy from older mod catalogs and refers to stereo/ice system customization
  • Multiple mod types can be combined on a single vehicle - use the appropriate VMT for each modification
