ACC Custom Cars Handbook

This tutorial reflects my knowledge of this topic.

create File “entrylist.json”

create File “entrylist.json” in Folder “cfg”, with the following content:

{  "entries":[
{  "drivers": [
{  "playerID": "S765611xxxxxxxxxx1"}
              ],
		"overrideDriverInfo": 0,
		"overrideCarModelForCustomCar": 1,
		"customCar": "exampleCar.json",
},
{  "drivers": [
{  "playerID": "S765611xxxxxxxxxx2"}
              ],
		"overrideDriverInfo": 0,
		"overrideCarModelForCustomCar": 1,
		"customCar": "exampleCar2.json",
        }
   ]
 }

...	description
playerID	SteamID from Driver, insert an "S" in front of it
overrideDriverInfo	If set to 1, the driver’s name and category will be overridden by what is setup in the entry list. If set to 0, it’s up to the client joining.
overrideCarModelForCustomCar	If "customCar" is used, this setting will apply the car model configured if the value is set to 1 ( which is the default ). If set to 0, all values except the "carModelType" are applied, so the user is free to pick a car but while team name and appearance will be applied
customCar	If set to a filename, the car, team and appearance will be used no matter what the user chose ( Exception: “overrideCarModelForCustomCar” ). This is useful for leagues and events, where we want consistent car appearance and the chosen car model for the corresponding driver/team. The custom car file has to be located in a “cars” folder next to the entrylist.json ( also works for centralEntryListPath ). Leave blank ( “” = default ) to let the user chose the car via car selection UI.
