Summary

Published: Jul 9 2022 by jato Last documented edit: March 29 2025 by manavortex

This page documents the vehicle root record (referenced from VehicleObject) in the TweakDB. This record is the parent of all ovther vehicle-related records.

Vehicle template

Below is the .tweak vehicle template (that's also in the TweakDB) that you can customize for creating your own vehicle.

The name Vehicle.vehicle_template near the top will need to be customized to your vehicle name.

entityTemplatePath is an important field here, because this is the file that ties our record to the resource files needed for rendering.
