So i bought the screamer dash and i changed a few of the gauges on it for things that i need but now the animations no longer work for those gauges. where can i find the XML file for the animations to modify it? i’m guessing the name of the gauges in the file has to be changed. i’m on windows btw.

The animation files for premium dashboards are not available as it would make it too easy to duplicate and distribute the dashboard.

so i can’t modify the dashboard at all basically because it breaks the animations?

ok i just realized i can modify the dash with different values i just can’t change the names of the things i’m modifying and the animations still work.
