    You need an info file. They are named like so:
    Code:
    info_<VEHICLE CONFIG NAME>.json
    It's normally best to use the other info files as a base.

    oh yeah, that's what I meant. So, do I just drop the config and this file in a zip, or..?

    You zip up the folder the configs in, but common practice is to zip up vehicles/<the vehicle folder>

    As long as they are in their appropriate vehicle folder. For example, if it's a Burnside config, and the config json and pc files are in the Burnside folder, you'll be in the green.

    Afterwards, you can copy both the *name of the car* folder, and the vehicles folder where the cars are found, and put them in a zip file.

    no. It will not work there, and you might find a vehicle named 'vehicles' come out of nowhere.

    alright, so I can just add a json file named the configuration I want and put it in that vehicle's zip and it will work?

    As long the configs are in vehicles/<vehicle>/ it should work.

    alright, well I just put the json file in the vehicles/sbr file (because that's the car I am making a config for) and it didn't show up in the vehicle selector.

    the .pc file is titled lightrally so naturally the name of the file and the code is lightrally. naybe I didn't do it right? here is the .json file

    alright, I get it. I looked at a json from one of the barstow configs and I figured out the layout. Thanks for all your help!
