General Guidelines

1. It is preferred that vehicles are packed in zip format for easy installation.
   1. Zips must not have subfolders. All relevant files must be in the root directory of the zip. Source files and templates for skins are also fine.
   2. "Readme" files are allowed, but game play information should be noted in the description.
   3. A zip file that is uploaded and does not adhere to the packs formatted will be rejected.
   4. "Mass" packs which contain many vehicles that are already available on the repo will be rejected.
2. You may not upload the file for someone else.
3. You must include at least one preview picture of your mod.
4. You may only upload files related to RoR. The repository accepts the following file formats:
   1. terrn, zip, truck, airplane, trailer, load, boat, png, dds

Guidelines for Original Uploads

1. Your vehicle must not violate any existing copyrights.
2. If you're using parts from another vehicle or website, you need to state the author and the source (if possible)

Guidelines for Modifications

1. Vehicle must not conflict with the original. They should be able to be in the game side-by-side with no errors.
2. No minor modifications. This means no mods with simply engine modifications. No "flares only" mods.
3. Modified skins must be of decent quality (no MS Paint skins) with transparent windows (if appropriate).
4. Skins can be uploaded as either the single image file, or the entire truck. If the skin is uploaded with a truck included, it must not conflict.

Modification Licenses

If you are modifying a vehicle whose author has no guidelines for modification, your mod must also fall under the same category. This means that you cannot take a free-to-edit vehicle, re-skin it and state no modifications.
