 You have at your disposal the following exported functions, [see code to understand](/newmodels/server.lua) and [example to see implementation](/[examples]/newmodels-example/server.lua):
+
 - `addExternalMod_IDFilenames(elementType, id, base_id, name, path, ignoreTXD, ignoreDFF, ignoreCOL)`

 ### Using Custom IDs
 
 To create elements with custom IDs **serverside**, do the following with these functions:
+
 - `createPed` (use a placeholder ID when creating, e.g. 1)
 - `createObject` (use a placeholder ID when creating, e.g. 1337)
 - `createVehicle` (use a placeholder ID when creating, e.g. 400)
 - `spawnPlayer` (use a placeholder ID when spawning the player, e.g. 0 CJ)
 
 After creating these elements, you have to:
+
 - **(Important)** Check if model ID you want to set is custom or default using `isDefaultID(modelID)` and `isCustomModID(modelID)`
 - If it's a custom ID then do the following:
+
   - Fetch element data name from this resouce using `getDataNameFromType(elementType)`
   - Set the element's custom model ID via element data with the name you just obtained
   - **(Optional)** You can fetch all data of the mod using `getModDataFromID(modelID)`

 # Gamemode Implementations
 
 ## [OwlGaming Gamemode](https://github.com/OwlGamingCommunity/MTA) - Custom Peds
 
 ### To be updated
 
 Example scripts that you need to adapt:
+
 - Clientside peds in character selection screen [account/c_characters.lua](https://github.com/OwlGamingCommunity/MTA/blob/main/mods/deathmatch/resources/account/c_characters.lua)
 - Serverside character spawning [account/s_characters.lua](https://github.com/OwlGamingCommunity/MTA/blob/main/mods/deathmatch/resources/account/s_characters.lua)
 - Serverside player skin saving [saveplayer-system/s_saveplayer_system.lua](https://github.com/OwlGamingCommunity/MTA/blob/main/mods/deathmatch/resources/saveplayer-system/s_saveplayer_system.lua)
 
 For new skin images used in the inventory, place them in [account/img](https://github.com/OwlGamingCommunity/MTA/tree/main/mods/deathmatch/resources/account/img) as ID.png with a minimum of 3 digits.
 
 You will find a lot more scripts that need to be changed if you want to use new IDs to the maximum potential, for example:
+
 - Shops/NPCs having custom skin IDs
 - Supporting custom skins in the [clothes](https://github.com/OwlGamingCommunity/MTA/tree/main/mods/deathmatch/resources/clothes) system
