Well, that's weird?! the car worked perfectly in the game but in the program called MM2VehicleViewer, has an error saying "Stream read error"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF?! Did I do something wrong? And should I care about it or not? :?

Probably a problem of the software you used to pack the files. Unpack everything and use the Windows default zipper to pack it (right click>send to>zipped file). Works fine for me.

Usually the error displayed by that program with the zipped .ar file is "There's no PKG", and this happens mainly with the .ar files made with WinZip. Always make them with the ZIP compression of WinRAR (preferably an old version), or better, 7-Zip.

So I tried to pack it with the default zipper, It worked! Thanks now I know. The archive has only 521 kb in size but when I repacked it, It has 571 kb. BTW, is there any program that can directly archive for MM2? It takes more time for me to use the default zipper. :)

MM2 City Toolkit can create .ar files, but the fastest solution is use one of the two programs that I've suggested.
