    I might be using the wrong term for this, but I would like the code or instructions to make one of these. BeamNGdrive-08013494-RELEASE-x64-DX112_8_20177_47_06AM.png

    I just want to learn it for configurations. I'm not making an actual car.

    If you are trying to make a config you need three things:
    1. configname.pc
    2. configname_info.json
    3. configname.png

    The configname is the thing you save it as in the vehicle customization menu, get it from the Documents/BeamNG.drive/vehicles/vehiclename folder
    The configname_info.json is the file that defines the name in the vehicle selector and the default colour it spawns with, along with performance figures and others
    The configname.png is the image file that shows up in the vehicle selector, recommended image size is 400x192

    You can change the configname part, that was just an example, but NOT the other bits. I suggest looking at the official ones that are packaged with each vehicle, and experimenting. To get it to show up in game, make an unpacked folder in your mods folder, and then put a folder like mms_configs, this is a main mod folder. That folder name is up to you, but pick something unique and easily identifiable, and one that won't overwrite other mods. Inside that folder put a vehicles folder, and then inside that put the name of the vehicle you are working with, the same as the ones in the Documents/BeamNG.drive/vehicles. If the vehicle you are working with is the Covet, you will find the configname.pc inside the "hatch" folder, and make sure you put a hatch folder inside the vehicles folder in your mod folder. Inside that "hatch" folder in your mods folder, put those three files I outlined earlier.

    This may all sound very complicated, but you can do all of this in under a minute when you get used to what you are doing. Also I may have said a few things wrong in this, I'm by no means a configs master.
