This is a very simple utility I created to help with the ‘edit the XML’ portion of installing add on cars. Having to do it by hand for every single car was pretty annoying for me, so I wrote this utility to automate some of the process. Example usage is shown in the screenshots.
To Use:
Extract the zip file and double click ‘GTA5_AddOn_Car_Install_Helper.exe’ to run

Premium Deluxe Auto Manager
Allows you to import a list of vehicle.meta files and automatically convert them into .ini files that are compatible with ImNotMentaL’s Premium Deluxe Motorsport Car Dealership mod
Once vehicle.meta files are imported, you can edit the Name/Make/Price etc. of the cars to determine how they will appear at the Premium Deluxe Shop in game
Allows bulk editing of cars via different filter options on Make/Class/Price, etc.
The ‘Class’ value of a vehicle will determine how vehicles are grouped, and will output different .ini files for each class name. Ex. ‘sport.in’, ‘sedan.ini’
Allows merging and editing of base game .ini files for Premium Deluxe as well
Language Generator
Takes a folder full of .gxt2 files and attempts to match the hash values to the model and make names from imported vehicle.meta files. Once mapped, you can edit the in-game display names of vehicle models and makes so that names are no longer missing or incorrect when entering vehicles
More features planned
Vehicle Meta File Manager
Can take a folder full of loose .meta files related to add-on vehicles (vehicles.meta, handling.meta, carcols.meta, etc.) and attempts to filter and organize them into subfolders based on the vehicle model. This is mainly for future compatibility with mietek_’s mmvehiclesmetamerger mod
More features planned
