Assetto Corsa mods with an agent that edits real files
Dotbraid 2.9.26 is a Windows 10/11 agent that opens your Assetto Corsa content folder, edits car and track files itself and shows every result as a card in the chat.
A car in content\cars\my_car is missing from the menu. Find out why and add the missing ui_car.json, using a working car as the model.

Working with Assetto Corsa mods in plain folders
Assetto Corsa mods are folders. Cars go into content\cars and tracks into content\tracks, and each one holds a .kn5 model, textures and text files in .ini and .json format that Dotbraid 2.9.26 can read, compare and edit while you keep a backup copy of the original.
Bring Assetto Corsa car mods back into the menu
A car that does not appear in the menu is usually missing a file, so the agent starts with list_dir on content\cars\my_car and glob on its ui folder. It checks 3 things: the folder name, the ui_car.json file and the skins folder. Then read_file opens the ui_car.json of a working car, and write_file saves a new one with the name, brand and class you give it. Missing file found. Shell runs a dir check and reports the real exit code, you accept the write in Ask first, and you load the game to see the car in the list.
Tool trace
list_dir content\cars\my_car → 4 items
glob content\cars\my_car\ui\* → 0 matches
read_file content\cars\demo_car\ui\ui_car.json → 18 lines
write_file content\cars\my_car\ui\ui_car.json → savedAdjust weight for Assetto Corsa drift mods
Mass and inertia live in the data .ini files, so a weight change is a small text edit. For a car with an unpacked data folder, the agent opens car.ini with read_file, changes TOTALMASS with edit_file and shows a diff in which only 1 line differs. Review it. Before the first edit you can ask Shell to run your own copy command into a backup folder, and afterwards you drive the car in your own offline session to feel the difference. Change one value at a time so you always know which number did what.
Tool trace
read_file content\cars\my_car\data\car.ini → 12 lines
edit_file content\cars\my_car\data\car.ini → +1 -1
Shell dir content\cars\my_car\data → exit 0Make a first skin from an existing one
If you wonder how to start making AC mods, begin with a skin, because it changes only textures plus one ui_skin.json file. Textures first. The agent uses copy_file to duplicate an existing skin folder, write_file to create the new ui_skin.json with your skin name, and list_dir to confirm that every texture file is in place. You paint the images in your own image editor. Plan only mode first lists these 3 steps and runs nothing, so you can read the plan before you switch to Ask first and accept the diffs.
Check a track with several layouts
Track mods with multiple configs keep each layout in its own sub-folder, so a file can be missing in 1 layout and present in another. The agent runs glob for models.ini across the track, read_file on each one, and grep on the game's log for the error text. It ends with a short checklist written by write_file. Read it. You accept the file, and then fix the layout it points at before you load the track again.
How Dotbraid differs from a typical chat assistant
Steps become actions. Dotbraid 2.9.26 runs the tools itself, and every action appears in the chat as a card with its real result, which you can open to read the full output or the diff.
| Typical chat assistant | Dotbraid | |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Describes the steps in text | Runs the tools itself |
| Result | Tells you what should happen | Shows the real result on a card |
| Edits | Gives text for you to paste | Edits the file and shows a diff |
| Checks | Cannot run your check command | Reads the real exit code from Shell |
How to get started
- Download the setup program, about 34 MB, for Windows 10 or 11 and compare its SHA-256 checksum with the published manifest.
- Run the setup, open Dotbraid and connect a cloud model, a local model or the built-in model.
- Choose a copy of your content folder as the working folder of a new chat.
- Pick Ask first, describe the task and review each diff before you accept it.
Who uses Dotbraid and when
Beginners start here. They make a skin, fix a car that is missing from the menu and learn the folder layout, while the agent explains each file it opens and Assetto Corsa modding stays limited to text files they can read.
Tuners work on numbers. They compare the data .ini files of 2 cars with read_file and grep, change one value at a time with edit_file, and check each diff before they test in their own offline session.
Collectors manage big folders. Before you install the best Assetto Corsa mods from a source you trust, the agent can list every car folder, flag duplicate folder names and write a checklist, so a high quality Mount Panorama mod does not land next to a track with the same name.
Frequently asked questions
What are Assetto Corsa mods?
Assetto Corsa mods are extra cars, tracks and skins that you add as separate folders inside the game's install folder, and each one is built from models, textures, sounds and text files. Dotbraid works on the text files, such as .ini and .json. Text only.
Is brlcode.net the official Dotbraid website?
Yes, brlcode.net is the official Dotbraid website, and because the installer is not code-signed yet you should compare its SHA-256 checksum with the published manifest before you run it. SmartScreen may warn you. For questions, use the Send feedback button inside the app.
Does Dotbraid run inside the game?
No. Dotbraid is a separate Windows program that works on the files in your chat's working folder, and it cannot open a 3D editor to model a car for you. Edit the files, load the game yourself and check the result there.
Which approval mode should I start with?
Ask first is the mode to start with, because it pauses before any action that changes something and shows the diff you accept. Plan only writes a step list and runs nothing. Auto-run acts at once.
Do the agent's changes always work in the game?
No. The agent reports the real exit code of your check command and shows each diff, but it cannot promise that a mod loads. You review the change, keep a backup and test it yourself in an offline session. Test first.
How many languages does Dotbraid support?
The app interface comes in 13 languages, while every page of this website is available in 20. Updates are automatic. The current version is 2.9.26, released on 2 Nov 2026, and the app shows an Update button when a newer version is ready to install.
What do I need to run Dotbraid?
A 64-bit PC with Windows 10 or 11 and a model are all you need: a cloud provider, a model running locally on your PC, or the built-in model. No account needed. A cloud provider may charge separately for its own usage, and that bill is between you and the provider.
Try it on a copy of your content folder
