I don't know what do you mean, but this is a OPTIONAL way that might not help.
INSTEAD, you can read the post below by Franch88.

Spoiler

Optional Way:
I don't know what you are trying to do, but you want to play with the car?

Ok, here are the steps:

- Put the .ar file into the Midtown Madness 2 folder.

So, you're attempting to make that add-on car by e-cobra as a traffic vehicle, right? Do it only for personal use, please.

This now old tutorial could help you despite all the images are gone. You have to rename the files with the suffix va_bus_f to replace the SF city bus.

He would need to reexport the car because it won't work if the vehicle has a Rlight

Do it the way I told you to on the other topic you started... Just get a traffic cars pack, there's plenty of good ones avaliable to download from the mods section. It's way easier, mainly for someone who just began working on modding. If you find enjoyment on developing mods for this game, with the experience you'll find yourself way easier to create such stuff.

Enough of people stealing e-cobra's work and releasing it as their own, uh? eheh

Yeah, the model needs to be imported, worked a bit like remove the RLIGHT object and add the SLIGHT ones for the indicators, and finally exported. Better with only one paintjob for a first test.

Of course not, it's just for informing purposes, it's pretty important.

Better know things before.

I want to know how I make my own traffic car I need to you guys to show me the steps or show me how to make traffic cars in mm2 for dummies so I'm going to use the 2009 Lincoln Town Car Limousine as my example

Postby **Franch88** » Sun Jun 12, 2016 11:31 pm

But, do you have a PC? You've showed us to have a tablet, instead, and with it is impossible to do anything of MM2 modding... The programs can't work in it, and then, it's very bad as device to do such complex things.
Anyway, I've linked you a tutorial above, that could help..

Please, stop to post similar topics...

Do you have Zmodeler 1.07b?

What you need to do is open Zmodeler, and go to File on the top left and choose New. Then go back to File and choose Import. A window called open will appear. go to the folder that contains the .pkg file you extracted. Highlight the file and click the Open button.

When you have the car opened in Zmodeler, DO NOT delete any of the objects or Zmodeler will crash! go to File and choose Save As... A window called Save As... will appear. Look for the folder you want to save in and click Save. This will save the model as a .z3d file. After you saved the model, close Zmodeler.

Look for the .z3d you created and open it, this will automatically launch Zmodeler and from here you are free to edit the model. Since you want to make this into a traffic vehicle, there are some differences compared to making a playable vehicle.

There are some objects that do not work for traffic vehicles, like objects with the suffix 'BREAK'. What you need to do with these is 'Unite' them to BODY_H. Right click on one object and dialogue will appear with different buttons, click 'Selected'. Do this to BODY_H and all of the objects with the word BREAK in them. Then go into Create on the right, then Objects, then UniteSelect. A new dialogue box will appear; Define Object Name. Change this back to BODY, then click the OK button. Then right click on BODY and rename it back to BODY_H.

Reply when you've got this far.

For the last time: stop to post continuously new topics about this same thing or you'll be banned! That won't help you... Just wait for someone to reply you only in this topic, ok? You can see that we're helping you, but you can't exaggerate by asking all the time...

BUGATTIMAN253MPH, the BREAK objects can work also for the traffic vehicles, so you can leave them, otherwise traffic mods like this weren't possible. However, the car that he wants to turn into a traffic car hasn't breakable parts.
