How to install

Step One: Installing MelonLoader

1. Quit Sledders if running
2. Download MelonLoader here
3. Run the exe, select Sledders, and install
4. Start Sledders once, then quit again

Step Two: Installing Alpine Tuning

1. Download the .dll file here
2. Move the .dll file to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sledders\Mods
   • Your location may be different
   • In Steam: Library -> Right Click Sledders -> Manage -> Browse local files -> open the Mods folder

Step Three: How to tune a sled

1. Load Sledders
2. Start a local game or join a lobby
3. Open the vehicle select / garage menu
4. Click SLED SETUP to open the native Alpine setup tab
5. Use the tabs to work through the setup:
   • Track: choose paddle tracks, limiter strap setup, rear shock setup, and rear spring setup
   • Engine: choose engine block, pistons, crank, intake/exhaust, turbo, and view boost estimates
   • Clutching: choose clutch calibration, clutch weights, ratio feel, and clutch trim
   • Suspension: adjust suspension, chassis, skis/stance, and setup trims
   • Lighting: adjust headlight color, brightness, beam/focus, aim, and the headlight toggle binding
   • Performance: view estimated stat bars and an estimated power curve compared to stock
   • Setup Slots: save, equip, duplicate, rename, or remove setup slots
   • Multiplayer: currently disbaled and non-operational P2P tune sharing and tune replication
   • Guide: read short explanations for categories, statuses, units, and limitations
   • Settings: choose Metric or Imperial units and toggle Advanced Details
6. Changes are preserved automatically for the selected sled
7. Use Test Ride when you want to reload the current sled for a test
8. Use Reset to Stock from Setup Slots to reset Alpine tuning fields

Pause Menu

The pause menu version is compact and only exposes Setup Slots and Multiplayer.
Use the garage / vehicle select menu for the full tuner.

Tuning Guide

Alpine Tuning uses setup parts for normal users and keeps raw physics values behind Advanced Details.

• Engine Output is shown as kW in Metric and hp in Imperial.
• Weight is shown as kg in Metric and lb in Imperial.
• Track Bite replaces raw friction in the normal UI.
• Ready for next ride means the setup is saved and will equip when that sled spawns or reloads.
• Performance Estimate is a garage estimate based on setup parts and Alpine tune math, not a measured dyno result.

Multiplayer Sharing

Networked Tune sharing is currently being redeveloped and options for P2P data transfers are being explored.

Known Limitations

• The Long Track Kit changes handling, track bite, weight, and balance to behave more like a longer track. Visual track length is not supported.
• Live telemetry such as RPM, speed, boost, slip, and heat is not required for the current Performance Estimate. A future version may add a live ride data panel.
• Peer sharing is currently a no-op system until options for networking are discovered and tested.
