Hey guys. If anyone is interested I post the sources of my filter. The development is in hiatus currently so if you want to experiment you're welcome. You need MSVS 2005 + ZModeler 2 SDK to build it. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/107812589/Games%20research/Midtown%20Madness%202/MidtownMadness2...

Metalcore drives my life.

I started to implement export features.

I have a question. Since MM2C is down I cant obtain object sequences for different types of geometry (vehicle, dash, trailer, building). If anyone provides such a list, I'd greatly appreciate it.

@RoadTrain, also update the topic on ZM Forums, Oleg may want source code for even ZM3 :P. He said "game is old and outdated" and never said anything else. We'll show him XD Downloading it now :) I'll contact Oleg later on the topic. There are still significant challenges, so I think it's...

The suffix replacing is necessary only for the ZModeler's filter for the creating of the vehicle type .pkg file with the multiple paintjobs. In the PKG format there isn't anything about them, indeed, there are instead only those info that you say, which are the ones required for the PKG format. So,...

Great work with everything. :) Add automatically the paintjobs suffixes is useful and comfortable. It's already so with the Maxoff's PKG filter for ZModeler 1.07, but he hasn't done the best choice using letters than numbers. So, see to add it, and using numbers from 1 to 10, at least. I'm afraid I...

Very nice

I need to know about paintjobs naming conventions.
Is it possible to automatically parse them? Is it needed actually?

It slowly progresses. (I cant spend much time on it currently)
Just wrote BOUND reading code.
Do I need to release import-only test version or wait until I write export code?

Well filter now natively supports loading .tex textures into the program.

Well I'll ask Oleg for details about how this could be done.
Also Midnight Club can be supported as its format is not very different from MM2. But it's not at top atm.

Maxoff added "support for strips" to his filter. What is it and how does it affect the model?

AFAIK one should convert textures himself to/from .tex while converting the car, right?
In ZM2 I might be able to directly load textures from .tex format to material editor when importing and from material editor to .tex when exporting. It needs more investigation.

Well the last days were busy with programming. https://i.imgur.com/vSwlZl.png Even if very few are interested this work yielded good results for me. I learned much about 3D models structure and representation and also learned much of ZM2 SDK. It will definitely help me researching other (newer) games.

Thank you all guys. Sadly I couldn't find them at the main website.

Oh thanks for detailed info. Do we have any software to work with tex?
