Irish license plates for your map.
Install Instructions:
1) Extract your map and the license plates zip files.
2) Copy the "licensePlates" folder into your maps zip file.
Depending on your maps folder structure you may need to adjust the filename paths in the "licensePlates.xml" file to suit your folder structure.
The paths are currently setup to have the "licensePlates" folder inside the "maps" folder within the maps zip file.
3) Modify the licensePlates filename path in your "map.xml" file to point to the "licensePlates.xml" file from the "licensePlates" folder.
The file path to enter here is "maps/licensePlates/licensePlates.xml", however this may differ depending on your maps folder structure as stated previously.
4 - OPTIONAL) To install the ai plates, modify the licensePlates filename path in your "trafficSystem.xml" file to point to the "aiLicensePlatesIE.i3d" file from the "licensePlates" folder.
Note: If your map does not have its own "trafficSystem.xml" file, you will need to copy the one from the basegame files it is currently using and re-adjust the file paths in the "map.i3d" file accordingly.
5) Re-zip your map
