XML files

In the folder CustomGearRatios/Configs, you can put XML files with gearbox descriptions. One XML file is one configuration. If multiple are defined, only the first one is used.

Layout:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Vehicle>
	<Description>5-gear AE86</Description>
	<ModelName>Futo</ModelName>
	<PlateText>undefined</PlateText>
	<TopGear>5</TopGear>
	<DriveMaxVel>48.07</DriveMaxVel>
	<Gear0>-3.484</Gear0>
	<Gear1>3.587</Gear1>
	<Gear2>2.022</Gear2>
	<Gear3>1.384</Gear3>
	<Gear4>1.000</Gear4>
	<Gear5>0.861</Gear5>
</Vehicle>

The file name is not used, so you can put whatever you want there.

The description is what's used to display the configuration in-game in the menu.

The ModelName is used to match the vehicle model for auto-loading.

The following applies for PlateText:

  • autoload_model: Loads the config for all vehicles with this model.
  • undefined: Doesn't automatically load the config.
  • Any other string: Matches the plate text to only load for specific model + plate combinations. Will override definitions for the model with autoload_model.

Unit for DriveMaxVel is in m/s (like the game internally), so take care of that fact when editing manually. This is basically the final drive thing.

When not enough GearX entries are provided for the TopGear, the file is not loaded.

Notes

Gear ratios are changed by the gearbox tuning and other scripts that call MODIFY_VEHICLE_TOP_SPEED. The script tries to revert back to the gearbox settings before this, but it's recommended to disable all functionalities in scripts that modify the top speed using the mentioned native.
