Addon Vehicles

Many addon vehicles include names in their vehicles.meta file that differ from their spawn names. This guide explains how to locate and resolve name discrepancies to ensure smooth integration with the Quasar Advanced Garages system.

Understanding Addon Vehicle Names

Addon vehicles, often custom-branded cars, may display "NULL" as their name in the garage menu. This issue arises from mismatched metadata in the vehicles.meta file, specifically the gameName field. The garage system references this field to display vehicle names.

Example Issue:

• Spawn name: golfgti7

• Meta gameName: Golf GTI

If no configuration is provided, the system cannot match the two, resulting in a "NULL" display in the menu.

How to Identify the Vehicle Name

1

Enable Debug Mode

Use Config.Debug = true to view the vehicle's metadata name in the client console. This will help you identify the model name and resolve discrepancies.

2

Check vehicles.meta

Open the vehicles.meta file for the specific car and locate the gameName value. This is the name the garage system needs for accurate display.

How to Configure Addon Vehicles

Add the correct name mapping to Config.AddonVehiclesLabelList in the config.lua file. Match the gameName value to a readable label.

Example Configuration:

Config.AddonVehiclesLabelList = {
    ['Golf GTI'] = 'Volkswagen Golf 8 GTI', -- gameName : Display Label
}

Why This Happens

This issue stems from custom vehicle creators using inconsistent naming practices in their metadata files. Correcting this is a simple step in ensuring addon vehicles integrate seamlessly with the garage system.

By following these steps, you can resolve the "NULL" display issue and enjoy a polished experience for your players using addon vehicles.
