Vehicle Mods

Vehicle mods can have various lights like headlights, indicators, etc. This is done in the Modeller using special texture mappings.

• All light mappings have a name with prefix l_.
• The cutouts for all light mappings must share a single texture page.

The special names for light mappings are:

Mapping	Description
l_brk	brake lights
l_cbrk	central brake light
l_side	side light (smaller lights near headlights)
l_head	headlight (main headlights)
l_high	high beam
l_tail	tail light (red rear lights)
l_rind	rear indicator
l_find	front indicator
l_rfog	rear fog light
l_ffog	front fog light
l_rev	reversing light
l_extra	extra light

A second word is allowed e.g. l_head front / l_head top. The second word is only to make it clearer for the mod creator. The maximum is 4 mappings per special name in a configuration.
