Converting models between Single Player and FiveM is actually pretty straightforward.

I will first show you how to take a model made for Single Player and convert it to FiveM, then the other way around. Use the chapters to jump around to which one you need.

Single Player to FiveM

For emergency vehicles only, lighting system

First thing you need to do when converting to FiveM is find out what lighting system the car uses. If it is Non-ELS, ELS, DLS, or any other.

If it is Non-ELS you only need something like Luxart Vehicle Control V3, but it is not required, If it is ELS you need an ELS plugin. If it uses DLS, you need either LVC V3 (see link above) with the Extra Control Plugin for selecting dinging stages, or the ULC Script.

Personally, I don't like ULC, so I just use LVC V3's Extra Control Plugin. I might be biased because I am an early access user of LVC and have been a friend with Trevor for some time. Also, ULC requires its own extra files where LVC only need the plugin installed and configured for your vehicle (and if all your vehicles are from a pack that use the same extras, you only have to set it up once in LVC!)

After you figure out what lighting system the car is, and what lighting system you need in your server let's move onto converting (Non-ELS and DLS both only need LVC, where ELS will need ELS or ELC)

Alright, enough messing about let's get to converting! First off, you need a base vehicle resource, you can find mine here.

Open the dlc.rpf for the mod you want to convert and navigate to dlc.rpf>x64>vehicles.rpf and copy all the .yft and .ytd to the folder, if the model has mod kits you can copy all the files from the _mods.rpf into the same folder. Then head to dlc.rpf>data and you can copy all the .meta files into the folder. You do not need dlctext.meta files as those are not used in FiveM.

FiveM to Single Player

For emergency vehicles only, lighting system

Now, like for converting to FiveM, converting to single player you need to know your vehicles lighting system. Most FiveM cars are Non-ELS or ULC, however some are ELS. You need to make sure your game can support your vehicles lights, if your vehicle is ULC you need to convert the ULC file to work with DLS, if it is an ELS car make sure you have ELS installed, etc. Non-ELS should work out of the box without any mods because that is what GTA V uses natively, however if you have ELS installed it might not work 100% correct.

You will need a single player DLC base file, I found this one on GitHub.

You want to do everything we did for the FiveM conversion in reverse, drag any model files into the vehicles.rpf, any mod kits to a _mods.rpf and any .meta files into the data folder. Your ELS xml files will go into the ELS mod, if it was ULC, you will need to convert the ULC lua files to DLS files
