This is a basic guide on how to add settings from the GPVWC Upgrades Generator to a Superleague test mod.

Step 1

Download & install the Superleague Test Base Mod: http://www.gpvwc.com/storage/mods/2017/Test/GPVWC17_SL_TCar-v100.rfcmp

Also download the base upgrades file: http://www.gpvwc.com/storage/mods/2017/Test/GPVWC_SL17_X1Upgrades.ini

Step 2

Use the upgrades generator to create the upgrades file you want: http://en.gpvwc.com/services/upgrades/

Open both the base upgrades file and the generated upgrades file in a text editor such as Notepad. In the base upgrades file find the section at the end of the file labelled UpgradeType="Car Upgrades". Replace the section starting with //Upgrades Data Starts and ending with //Upgrades Data Ends with the text from the generated files and save the file (keeping the original filename).
