Program so far

Hey guys, I am currently working on TCMM2E, It will basically edit any mm file you desire, even make ar and so on! With the tool in Editor>AR, you can add and delete files in an AR (unlocked) as you please!

Program will have more file formats soon so stay tuned!

Cool! Will this be also able to edit default cars' AR files?

Possibly. It is also able to browse locked ar files, but not edit or extract

Good work so far. It looks a GUI for the MM2 files formats with an images formats viewer, and opens add-ons and mods .ar files.

Well, it's nothing more than what's already possible to do, using archive manager programs.
If it'll allow to edit the game default .ar files will be great, so far this isn't possible; DeAR 2 program can only list and extract the files from them.

Hmm maybe i can make it edit default ones, and maybe i can compress mod ar into the default ar files format

edit : partly loaded an AR_DAVE, though it had to be fixed with PKZip first and it had few files. Still working on my code to load them proper

edit: Hey Guys! I need some help. If anyone can submit to me their mm2 screenshots NOT edited and of default cars, that would be great! They will be used for my MM2 editor as a background. A watermark with your username will be added to the bottomright of the image. A watermark of TCMM2E will also be added to the top left, so make sure it is a watermark-suitable image. Hope i get some

Sure! I'll get that done.
EDIT: Here it is, hope you like it!:

No mods were used, nor Photoshop, Paint.NET etc. Only MM2, Speedboot, and MS Paint were used (MSP for pasting the image and saving as PNG).

Thanks! Your and E-Cobra's pictures will be used for backgrounds on the main window!

Wrong... wrong.. and wrong. I managed to merge all the ar files into one, compress them (thus saving some MB's), rename and pack into ar. Works 100% in either MM2 or PM. And I do not use DeAR 2.

He means edit them and save them within the same program. Not extract and repack because even I did that

Still... that's useless.

Still... that's useless.

So, you'd rather extract it and work from there then open it and edit any single file right then and there?

Anyways, i've partially gotten the AR_DAVE format open

Edit : Screenshots for the background of the program are in, more are still welcome :

Correct.

I meant allow the program to edit and also make .ar files in the same format as the 4 default MM2 ones, so that they're openable only with DeAR 2, and with this same program too. And it's true that so far it's not possible edit directly the 4 default game files.
However, yes, it's not an useful thing when you do what RacingFreak says, the same is about make .ar files in that format. I already know that extract the default game files and repack them in a ZIP archive .ar file works in-game, some MBs get saved and it's useful to do direct edits to customize the game files.

The background screenshots looks nice, thumbnails are too much tittle to say, though. Maybe, right because they're backgrounds, is better put a 50% of black mask; the background hasn't to be a potential element of distrub while using the program.

I dont repack them in the renamed zip to ar archive way. There is already proper tools that let convert deflated zip archive into original angel studios format. Not useful unless you know what you do...

That's nice to edit directly game default files, but not so safe. So you'll need a reinstallation or saved copy of these files in case of a game crash after an edit
