Dodge SRT HELLCAT

[CHAK Severride]

I have searched far and wide but i never came across a Hellcat srt not in the shop where u can buy new cars, not in the junkyard not even in the Barns and now i question what is going on and why doesnt it show up??????

[Teddy_lebt]

The SRT Hellcat doesn't spawn in barns or the junkyard. The only places, where it shows up are the dealer or auctions. You would have to change some data in the config.txt file to change that. If a car spawns in its allowed places is random.
I have also yet to see one for sale, but I rarely go to the dealer and also don't attend very often at auctions.

thank u for this information

[DutchGamer78]

Unmodded i found it at auction a couple of times.
Later i did the config thing to make all dlc cars show up in barns and junkyard.

One of the game's folders on your hard drive is called "Cars"

... \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Car Mechanic Simulator 2018\cms2018_Data\StreamingAssets\Cars

and in there, a folder with every car name in this game (including all the dlc cars, whether or not you have the dlc). So the file you're looking for is in the "DodgeChallengerHellcat" folder. Open the "config.txt" file.

On a side note: if you open it with the Windows notepad, which is the standard txt-file-editor it will look confusing! So use a different app if you can. WordPad does just fine, as well as Office/ Word or whatever. I use a nifty free program called "Notepad++" for stuff like this

In each config file there is a section like this

[1_other]
allowedColors=#B7FF00,#183a72,#828688,#e5e9e5,#353638,#c8c7c0,#030d1b,#6a0012
allowedPlaces=Order.2,Auction,Salon
...

allowedColors is irrelevant now, and not every car has that line, but the next line is critical. Never mess with the first value! (Order.2) The others are pretty self explanatory, you can have four values

Auction

(every car has this, so you have the opportunity to find every car at an auction sooner or later)

Salon

Shed

Junkyard

So, if you add "Shed" and "Junkyard" to the line, the car can also spawn in barns and the scrap yard. Of course it's vital to avoid typos, start with capital letters and use no spaces between the commas. Nobody seems to know, if the order in which the words appear have an effect on something.
Some of the cars (although not the Hellcat) have variants. In these cases you will find more config files called config1.txt, config2.txt and so on. If you'd wand to change things for these models, you'd have to do it with each individual config file. But as I said, luckily it's unnecessary for this car.


another section, that's relevant for your purpose is

[8_logic]
globalCondition=0.8,0.99
panelsConditions=0.05,0.6
partsConditions=0,0.7
uniqueMod=1.75

The uniqueMod determines, how rare and thus valuable a car is. It can be any value between 1.00 and 9.99. The lower this number is, the more likely it becomes for the car to spawn in its allowed places, but it's also cheaper (to buy and sell). If you put this value too high, the cars can be ridiculously expensive and extremely hard to find! Although I changed it for some cars, I think it's just right for the Challenger SRT Hellcat, but it's your decision, if you like it as it is.
The highest value I personally chose was 3.55 for the Ford GT40. It was way too common and too cheap for a car of which only 134 were built IRL ;) But I digress!


All the changes you make will be reverted, if you "Verify integrity of game files ... ". So if you screw your data completely, you can always go back, but if you have to verify the files for some other reason, you'd have to do it all over again. So I made a copy of my "Cars" folder to be able to just copy it over in such a case.
The same would be true in case of another update, but I don't think there will be one. Any way: I'm prepared.

Do all this and you're good to go. I hope this helps, despite not being a screen shot. Good luck and have fun!

edit: had to correct a lot of typos

You're welcome! And yes, I decided to post publicly as well as in english instead of german for that reason.

[BossMan]

Teddy.... that explanation is just great! It will be very useful for the community at large. Thank you for taking the time to provide the explanation.... very well done!

[Teddy_lebt]

@BossMan

Can confirm that the order in which you write the words in the config doesn't matter.

Thanks!

Do you also happen to know, what the .number after

allowedPlaces=Order

mean? It's Order.2 in this example, I've also seen a lot of other numbers and tried to spot a pattern of some sort, but I can't. My guess would be, it has something to do with the job orders. But I can't figure it out for the life of me!
Of course I tried finding something in this forum, but with no avail. Found out a lot of useful stuff, but nothing about this value.

[SkinGravel]

It is the job orders, and I think the number denotes how often that vehicle will pop off as a job order, as far as the RNG goes. Similar to the "uniqueMod=" line. Don't quote me on the RNG part; I could be wrong. It's definitely job orders, though. If you erase that part of the "allowedPlaces=" line, the vehicle won't show up as a job.

[Teddy_lebt]

Thanks again! That's basically what I thought as well. I would love to know the mechanics behind it... Does a lower value lead to more or less job orders? Something like that.
It's not important, I'm just soo curious.

[SkinGravel]

Anytime. ;) I'm always learning new stuff. I'd say the higher the value, the less they show up, if that's even what that modifier is for.

[Moparman99]

do u have the mod?
