Steps

  1. Get a vehicle file (_AT.BIN and _GR.BIN)
  2. Open up the vehicles/vehiclelist.bundle in Bundle Manager
  3. Copy Entry for Hunter Cavalry
  4. Give it a new vehicle id (try to format it like the game does i.e. PUSMC01 for P_US_MuscleCar_01).
  5. Give it a new AttribSys ID in the VehicleList. Can be any ID, but try to keep it as a number over 1000000 to prevent conflicts with existing IDs.
  6. Rename the Files to have the structure VEH_<vehicleid>_AT.BIN, VEH_<vehicleid>_CD.BIN, VEH_<vehicleid>_GR.BIN
    1. If you don't have a _CD.BIN file for your car, just pick another one and rename it.
  7. Edit the binary files:
    1. Find the IDs that you have to edit. For all values in the table below, do the following:
    2. Calculate the replacement value, by following the schema in the table below, change all letters to lowercase, generate a CRC32 value with HxD and bit swap them
    3. Open up the File in Bundle Manager and look at the IDs. They are corrected, so you have to bit swap them when looking for them, e.g. ac21de43 is 43de21ac in the binary file.
    4. Open Hexedit and search for the IDs to find out where you have to replace it
    5. Replace
    6. If it worked the name will show up in BundleManager
  8. Unpack the VEH_<vehicleid>_AT with the Noesis and the noesis plugin to a folder
  9. Edit the file in the AttributeSysVault folder, replace the values starting from 0x2E8 with the AttribSys ID from step three hashed as lookup8 little endian
  10. Pack it up, rename it to VEH_<vehicleid>_AT and replace it in vehicles.

Then you should see your new car!

Values to change

File ID in BundleManager Replace with Comment
VEH__AT AttribSysVault <vehicle_id>_AttribSys
VEH__AT VehicleAnimation <vehicle_id>_ANIM
VEH__AT StreamedDeformation <vehicle_id>DeformationModel
VEH__AT BodyPartRemapData <vehicle_id>_BPR
VEH__GR GraphicsSpec <vehicle_id>Graphics
VEH__CD ResourceID <vehicle_id>

Also change the name and hash in cleartext in VEH_<vehicleid>_CD. The hash in clear text is not bitswapped.

How to select the new car

Use BPR Modder and install Brick Remastered. You can then select with F9 the new car in the mobile Junkyard.
