MM2 GL (Game Loader)

Post by georgy »

Hi folks,

First of all, a great new program you made here
But I have some questions

My MM2 game is installed in the following dir: C:\Midtown Madness 2 part1\Midtown2.exe and what does it actually do (Game loader) ?? because there doesn't happens a lot when I run it :lol:
I installed it in some dir C:\Hqtm proggy's\mm2 game loader\MM2GameLoader.exe and I runned the exe file .
Now when I run the exe does the prog supposed to run my mm2 game ?? Actually, it doesn't do anything ... :/

Does it matter in what dir my game is installed to the MM2 Game Loader prog ??

When I open the *.cfg file I see :

Code: Select all

Midtown2.exe
When I open the *.log file I see :

Code: Select all

MM2 GameLoader 0.1
Searching for police cars...
Done, numer of additional police cars 0

Searching for MTL files...

And my vehtypes.csv has much more cars in it than the generated one ...
I also made a subdir in my gamedir called "cars", and all my extracted *.ar files are in there, so if I need some cars I simply cut them from that folder and paste them into my root game dir ...
I use carloader for running and managing my mm2 games ;) )

Thank you HQTM for your great creations and to give "playing MM2" another dimension ^_^

MM2GL must be in the same directory as Midtown2.exe and AR files, so copy MMGameLoader.exe, MM2GameLoader.exe.mainfest, MM2GameLoader.cfg to C:\Midtown Madness 2 part1

MM2GL doesn't change game files, it only creates !_share.ar.

And where is the progress bar ?? 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5 ??

Ctrl+Shift+Esc and kill MM2GameLoader.exe - it usualy works.

Could you do something for me ??

Please download once again the newest version - I've just changed loging system, now it saves information about AR files that MM2GL scans. Then please run it in game directory and post here content of MM2GameLoader.log. After that, you should know which AR file causes applicationg hanging.
