Midnight Club: Street Racing to Midtown Madness 2

[Deanna_Troi]

Looking sweet and goody thus far, great to see you finally able to convert these to MM2 (Fact: MM2 and MC1 use the same game engine, so to me, I think that's why the cars and the new york track are convertable easily)....

Here is va_parkingcop_lights.tga texture.
https://www.megaupload.com/?d=V7KVQUYS

I found a way to get correct texture.
After checking header information from https://wiki.mmarchive.com/wiki/Modding:TEX I have found that texture types 15 (P4_MC) and 16 (PA4_MC) have same description, so I've changed in hex editor 15 (0x0f) to 16 (0x10) and run mcTex.exe.
Original Texture have 0x0f in the header, offset 4.

Thank you a lot! The Hex edit was the thing needed all that time!

PS
Can you say, what program did you used to do it? Since I`m not too good at programing (even if it`s simple!:oops:), I`m simply having old copy of Visual Basic pack for Win98.

PPS
I need to try it on following textures:
vp_decal - ranging from blitz to zender;
vp_minivan_grill;
vp_ferrari_c;
va_suvsmall_takeahike;
va_taxi_checker;
va_trucksmall_mudgard;
vehicleshadow;
vp_camaro_bumper;
vp_coopergrill;
vp_license;
vp_mitsu_decal_baptor;
vp_mitsu_decal_signal;
vp_mitsu_moffle;
vp_mitsu_moffle_side;
vp_mitsu_mofflec;
vpa_shadow;
...
That`s all. And if I will need to re-make New York City and London, I`ll need a bunch of another textures, which is not a very easy

Yes, that`s exactly textures needed (decals are not that needed.) could you export them properly?
Thanks in advance, this can help me A LOT from a texture side (had known problems, cause an empty mesh and untextured is not a car for me).

PS
Another traffic vehicles has been extracted properly, aswell as the taxis. I cannot gurantee when it is going to be completed, but I`m guessing, it will be in few days.

EDIT:
The taxi`s safehouse!





Seems to be alright, but! Minivan needs grill texture and checker (va_minivan_grill and va_taxi_checker), aswell as the taxis needs to find a texture (for the big sign at top).

Thanks Volky! Seems like I would never do even a hot start on that project, without you!
I seriously need to release that pack these days, so I`ll do it, don`t worry

[mm2star]

Nice Job so far. Are there damage textures? By the way, the posts are so complicated.

[Sido]

Nice work dude

[RacingFreak]

Are there damage textures?

Thank you. Well, Midnight Club`s cars seems to be using "BODYDAMAGE" model, instead of texture damage. Unfortunately, seems like MM2 doesn`t hangle "BODYDAMAGE". Due to that fact then, they`ll not have texture damage

I`ll release (hope so!) an exclusive (beta release) pack of few cars from MC, these days - next week. Stay tuned for news!

Dude, this has already been done, but Nice work!

Dude, this has already been done, but Nice work!

In the New York mod from 2005-2006? No. It was NEVER done with original car meshes.
Also did that mod included player vehicles? No, and as I`m converting Class A vehicles now, it`s possible to be released very soon

[Kunal2045]

Dude I am getting to love you. THANKS FOR MAKING THESE TRAFFIC MODS!

Um, is this for SF and London?

Lol, thank you.

At first I`m stuck with converting player vehicles (no ingame shots yet), and then will make a traffic mod for SF and London (why not and new menus?). Don`t worry, Volky helped me a lot with the textures and now cars seems to be alright

PS
Here`s how the Camaro Class A looks:


EDIT:
Finally get it in-game!


But, seems like has some problems, as shown on the pictures, the red tailights dissapeared, and wheels has some ussies.
Hopefully I`ll try to fix them

EDIT2:
Zender is under convertion
I`m near finishing it!

[sajmon14]

Nice progress, I remember Zender from some unused MC2 files.

[Franch88]

Nice looking car. Good model and interiors, it's ok as player car; instead, lower detailed models without interiors are the best for traffic mods. Make sure to assing only one material with its texture for the red tail lights objects.
