After got the MM2GL program, extract all its files in your main MM2 directory and start it by its .exe file. After, the program will scan all your add-on .ar files to find cars that uses sirens objects and trucks that uses reverse gear bips (less used). It'll create a file called !!!_share.ar, where there's the same file of the addonvehtypes.ar file (vehtypes.csv), the one with the basenames list of this kind of vehicles. Click Launch the game to complete.
It has also the materials.csv file, used in lots of tracks and in the Water Mod (is important to put at least four "!" symbols in the filename of this mod to bring it up the !!!_share.ar, so the game will read that for first. Other info about this here).
Next times there will no need to put the addonvehtypes.ar file included with some cop cars. Remember to run the game always from this program.
PS: thank you for your website appreciation.

I use this program to run MM2 and I don't have problems with the cars with the sirens. I don't have checked many of them.
However you can put the addonvehtypes.ar file included with the car with the sirens, and it won't make crash the game.

You can get a very good addonvehtypes.ar file that sopports nearly all the cars with the sires from here.
It's pretty weird that the MM2GL doesn't work in that. In your main MM2 folder you'll notice a file called !!!_share.ar; this file is created by the MM2GL program, and it's used mainly as addonvehtypes.ar file.
If you've some track or mod that could use the same file in the addonvehtypes.ar (isn't too possible) in your MM2 folder that has three or four "!" symbols, try to remove it.
You could have also a file called !!!addonvehtypes.ar, but I don't remember if there's one.

I also have a problem....
I recently updated VNV's Ford Crown Victoria NYSD (original author is Addict for Need For Speed 4) and I have successfilly added a dash but adding the siren, however, is a paining problem. Even after I have updated the addon-vehtypes and the vehtypes file within, even with MM2 GameLoader and Addon-Vehtypes Builder (both by Maxoff), the game still crashed after attempting to turn on the siren. Is there anyway I can fix this problem? Thanks in advance...

That's pretty weird. Make sure that the addonvehtypes.ar file is above the game and other .ar files by placing about four "!" symbols.
Anyway, seems that the use of this file with the MM2 Game Loader can give some problems to the right working of the police cars because this program creates a .ar file with the vehtypes.csv file with all the basenames to let work all the installed police cars found by the program, so is better to use only one of the solutions, and I suggest to use the program. This can happen especially when the addonvehtypes.ar file have more than three "!" symbols ahead the filename, because the shared file with the vehtypes.csv file created by MM2 Game Loader program has three of these symbols.

Thanks Franch88. I have managed to get it working, but I had to use the existing name that was listed in the !!!!addon_vehtypes.ar file just to get it working, and therefore could conflict with other add-ons having the same name.
