HTML file in license plate mods

Can someone please explain to me what the HTML file does in some license plate mods? I want to make a Croatian license plate mod, but I do not understand what this file does. I included an example picture from JorgePinto's European Plates Mod below.

I know it has something to do with how plate text is formatted onto the plate, but I don't know enough to proceed and the license plate tutorial on the wiki does not cover this at all.

 

Can someone please help me? I would really like to start making the license plate.

 

Can someone please help? There is no information about what the HTML file does.

 

???

 

HTML is hypertext markup language. Its usually used for websites. Try opening it in your browser.

 

I opened it up, but all I get it a blank white page. I pressed F12 to look at the code, but I do not understand what's going on.

 

Check the source???

 

What do you mean by source? Is it the code when I press F12?

 

those HTML files are used to write the text on the license plate, which is a HTML texture.

there is also a tutorial covering license plate creation on the wiki : https://wiki.beamng.com/License_plate_tutorial

 

How come the template license plates don't have this html file? Also, I could not find anything about this specific file in the tutorial. How can I create my own?

 

Open the file with nodepad or whatever and see what's inside.

 

Ok, so I opened up the HTML file for the default German license plates and here's what I got. I can't make any sense of what's going on here, so I'll post the text file below.

 

Oh okay. So this mod spawns the plate with a different date sticker each time. It’s not something you need if you don’t want the stickers.

But this also might be responsible for placing the random letters too. Without it, you might get blank license plates.

 

Yeah I depended on this file in order to make the US sized license plates have the FE-Schrift on two lines instead of one.
