VOLKSWAGEN METEOR COPA TRUCK 2026 — Hyperion Racing Team
Release: 31 October 2026 — rear cab brake lamps
By Alain il Professore

PACKAGE CONTENTS
STVMET.3SH: modified 3D shape (rear brake lights moved to the back of the cab).
CARVMET.RES: original supplied physics and vehicle specifications, unchanged.
STDAVMET.VSH / STDBVMET.VSH: original supplied dashboard and sprites, unchanged.
INSTWIN.CMD / UNWIN.CMD: Windows installer / uninstaller.
INSTDOS.BAT / UNDDOS.BAT: DOS / DOSBox install / restore scripts.
AUDIT.JSN: validation and geometry change report.

WINDOWS INSTALLATION
1. Close Stunts.
2. Extract the VMETC26 folder into your Stunts game directory, for example C:\STUNTS\VMETC26\.
3. Open VMETC26 and run INSTWIN.CMD (from Command Prompt if required).
4. The script backs up any previously installed car files into VMETC26\BACKUP, then copies all four car files into the parent game folder.
5. Competing compressed variants STVMET.P3S, STDAVMET.PVS and STDBVMET.PVS are backed up and temporarily removed to prevent resource priority issues.
6. Launch Stunts, select VMET and check the new rear cab brake lights.

DOS / DOSBOX INSTALLATION
1. Put VMETC26 inside the Stunts directory mounted in DOSBox.
2. At the DOS prompt, type:
   CD \STUNTS  (adjust drive or directory as needed)
   CD VMETC26
   INSTDOS
3. This uses classic DOS commands and 8.3 filenames, storing originals in BACKUP.

UNINSTALLATION
Windows: run UNWIN.CMD in VMETC26.
DOS: CD into VMETC26 and run UNDDOS.
The scripts restore prior files and remove installed files that did not exist before. Do not delete VMETC26/BACKUP until after restoration. Keep a copy of any later edits before uninstalling.

VALIDATION AND LIMITATIONS
Only STVMET.3SH differs from the supplied ZIP. All 16 paintjobs, CAR physics and dashboards are preserved. Native material 45 provides automatic rear light/braking color switching. Every native model was parsed again after rebuilding. Please test in your actual Stunts / DOSBox installation for visibility from different angles and brake-light changes. A small adjacent rear-fender edge was reassigned in the detailed LODs to comply with the 255-vertex maximum.

CREDITS
Special thanks to Victor Narl for setting me this challenge, and to Ryoma for his mentoring, patience, and invaluable Stunts modeling advice.

VERSION V2 - VISIBILITY FIX: the left rear brake lamp is now ordered directly after the rear cabin panel, followed by the right lamp. Installation is unchanged. Save any personal modifications to the previous release before upgrading. In-game verification is still pending.
