- built-in version of SpintiresPlus;
- modified SpinTiresEditorMod editor;
- utility for working with map files LevelTools;

Spintires mod:
- Support for maps larger than 1x1 km.
- Support for tracked vehicles.
- In-game mod manager, ability to enable/disable signed workshop mods.
- New mod support system. Ability to add additional language files. Workshop mod localization.
- Launch normally or via modified exe file (Steam version only, needed only if memory shortage issues occur, it patches the ability to allocate more than 2GB of memory to the application).
- MailRu version now saves settings in its own folder.

Spintires Editor mod:
- Removed map size restrictions.
- Improved height calculation.
- Ability to change maximum height, default is 64m.

Installation:
1. Install anywhere like any program – run it.
2. Click Settings, first field SpinTires Directory – click Install and specify the game folder. It should look something like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Spintires\
3. Click Ok, the program will show a Launch Spintires button – launch the game through it!

How to add a mod (vehicles, maps, etc.):
1. A mod can be a folder or a ZIP archive.
2. Check the correct mod structure – the mod folder/archive should contain game folders like classes, levels, etc. The Media folder is not needed!
3. All mods can be placed in the program folder "Data\Spintires\Mods"
4. You can also add your own mod folder – in the mod manager on the "Mod Folders" page.
5. If everything is correct – the game should detect the mod.
6. In the mod manager you can manage mods – enable/disable, set priority, specify additional mod tags.

Workshop mod localization. See the example in the screenshots.

Tag String:
- Attribute "Type": can be "assets", "game", "help", "ui"
- Attribute "Replace": if "True" – replaces the previous value. Use carefully, it can overwrite values from any mod!

Tag Language:
- Attribute "Id": two-letter language code, e.g. "ru" or "en"
- Tag value: the text itself
- Attribute "Value": the text itself (better to use the tag value), if the tag value is not empty, the attribute is ignored

Additional localization for any mods.

See example in folder Data\Spintires\ModsExample\ExtraStrings.
"_append_levels_game.txt", "_prepend_std_game.txt" – what it means:
- prefix "_append_", "_prepend_" – defines how the word will be added. "_append_" – if already present, it will not be added. "_prepend_" – if already present, it will be replaced.
- postfix "_game" – word group, can be "assets", "game", "help", "ui".
- in the middle "levels", "std" (between prefix and postfix) can be anything – essentially a unique identifier.

For more details see Readme.ru.txt in the Help folder.

Installation on Windows 10:
Problems with installing SpinTiresMod.exe on Windows 10 are mainly related to missing DirectX 9 or Visual C++ libraries.
Here is the solution: To install the old API set, you need to enable the "DirectPlay" component – it is located in the Control Panel. We need to open it. Go to search and type: "Control Panel". In the panel, find and launch the Programs and Features utility:
In the opened window, click on "Turn Windows features on or off" (located in the left menu):
In the opened window, find the line "Legacy Components", check the box next to it, expand the branch and also check the box next to DirectPlay. Click "OK" and install DirectX 9.
