In this guide i will explain all the basics on SLRR(street legal racing redline) modding like how to install cars, how to install parts, how to find errors and which version to choose from.
Lets start with the versions of the game - thanks to onedownone2go

2.3.0LE
- many add-on cars available
- many add-ons available in general
- memory-management fixed
- improved gfx-performance
- toool for automatic conversion of add-ons available (B.O.R.A.T. 1.0)
- has lot's of eye-candy
/ extensively modified GUI - that's a matter of taste, but it can be modified to match your personal needs
not all javas available for modders
no add-on tracks
does not support windowed mode (or I did not find the option .. ;-) )
Out of my personal experience i would recommend using version 2.2.1MWM which supports all the extra tracks and new mods are also made for it instead of the other versions.
Error Finding
Ok the problem with errors mainly is people installing 10's or more mods all at once then they mix up and can't find what actually causes the game to crash at certain parts so the main way to prevent the errors is installing mod-by-mod this means you install a single mod be it wheels/engines/cars and go test the game out like dealers, catalogues and checking that the mod is self is working correctly
to find an error log in case you get some random but rare crashes you will need to locate to the game directory - the game directory is where your game is installed for e.g. x/program files/activision/street legal racing redline/ the "street legal racing redline" folder will be the root directory for game files.
the file you need to take a look in case of crash is "error.log" you can open it with notepad
for e.g.
!Package conflict: multiple packages placed at the same location ( at cars\racers\eunos_data\scripts)
this is a line from the error.log file what you can see in here is that the EUNOS mod causes the package conflict and you can actually see where it is located so if you want to remove the error you will need to delete the mod or find the problem - always check the downloads comments/the download it self for fixes 🙂
sometimes though you will find errors in your error log even if the game is not crashing so you might as well just ignore them 🙂 - if you get mixed up with a bunch of errors simply select all the text in the error.log file, delete it and save it once the error happens again you will find the exact problem
there is chance that the error will not be displayed in the error log if you get this its best to think of a problematic mod.. like mod with parts missing/not renamed etc as those modders normally don't bother with javas and making the game work properly for everyone
Installing Parts/Cars/Engines etc
CARS
now lets say you downloaded a Nissan GTR from vstanced and you extract the archive on your desktop and inside the folder you find 2 files - one will be a folder called gtrvspec_data and other will be a file called gtrvspec.rpk
these two "bits" will need to be copied to root/cars/racers folder
so you will be copying both folder and the file to that directory after that you will be done with installation of the mod - now go to test it out 😉
Parts
Similiar like cars except they have their own directory in game folder called "parts" you normally get a "read me" file with the mod you download which contains all the info you need like the installation path so for rims you will need to drag and drop the folder and the .rpk file to the Parts directory and it should be installed - ignore the "parts/wheels" folder that is rarely if ever used for mods 🙂
Tracks
Tracks only work with 2.2.1 MWM and LE2MWM patches they DO NOT WORK with 2.3.0 LE 🙂 once you open the archive you will normally have a folder and an rpk - same as cars and other mods. what you need to do is to copy these 2 files(.rpk and folder) to ROOT/Maps/Addon_maps/ folder. After copying them over just start up your game and once you go for a test drive you will be able to choose which track to drive on - some tracks will have options like opponents/no opponents/drift scores etc(rest of the info will be in download description or READ ME file of the download)
Engines
same as Wheels they go into parts folder except that you need to copy them to the sub-folder - engines
so again you will have a folder and a .rpk file ready after you extract the mod these files will need to be copied to root/parts/engines folder
most of the cars will not accept your engine to install so you will need to use "SLREditor" to use the engines with the cars you want - download HERE the application is easy to use so i won't be explaining more about it, you can also use it to place the parts like batteries, wheels, engines and so on 🙂
Replacing files
replacing files can be DANGEROUS because you might have a messed up file and your game won't work after that 🙂 the good thing to do is install slrr again in a different directory patch it to the main version of your MAIN game for e.g. 2.2.1mwm and keep it completely clean without mods so incase of loosing a file you can simply copy and paste over your main game.
always make a backup too if you can't be bothered to install another SLRR
