GXDMeta Forge
Meta Forge · Vehicles
Create new metas, or load a resource to edit from its current values — pick its folder, drop it here, or pick the .meta files.
Core generator: vehicles.meta + handling.meta + carvariations.meta + fxmanifest.lua
FRESH RESOURCE MODE
vehicles.meta — Identity & references
Create vehicles.meta on its own. Model, handling link, names, layout and audio remain fully editable.
Layout
Known/common + layouts detected in the loaded resource. Type any custom layout name too.
Audio Profile Library
Built-in donor profiles — pick a GTA folder for the full list.
295 fallback/workspace profiles · link GTA V for the real stock catalogue
Convertible roof animation
Set the roof animation dictionary and clip, or leave either field blank / null to export the GTA null value.
Texture dictionary relationships
These links appear at the bottom of vehicles.meta. A child inherits the parent's textures; add more rows for additional dictionaries.
Example: parent vehicles_fmj_interior → child reyden. Empty child fields follow the vehicle's TXD name.

vehicles.meta — Behaviour, loading & presentation

Questions about Meta Forge

What this free tool does, what it makes and how the files go into FiveM.

Fill in the form and Meta Forge writes the vehicles.meta for the car, plus handling.meta, carvariations.meta, carcols.meta and vehiclelayouts.meta when it needs them. To start from what you have, import a resource folder, its meta folder, loose .meta files or a ZIP. Download the files and add them to your resource.

Each meta is mounted with its own line in fxmanifest.lua: VEHICLE_METADATA_FILE for vehicles.meta, HANDLING_FILE for handling.meta, VEHICLE_VARIATION_FILE for carvariations.meta, CARCOLS_FILE for carcols.meta and VEHICLE_LAYOUTS_FILE for layouts. The metas must also be listed in files { }, and the models and textures go in the stream folder.

Yes. Besides vehicles it has tabs for add-on clothing packs and weapons. One import bar reads a whole resource, works out which metas are vehicle, weapon or clothing ones and fills every tab they belong to, switching to the right tab when a resource has only one kind.

Everything runs in your browser. Files you open stay on your computer; exports are downloads. Workspace, Conflict Check and GTA Library need direct disk access and aren't available on the web.
