Hey!

I love playing with new cars and stuff on MM2 but there are tons of cars on gta download sites that i wish i could use.

Is there a way of converting these downloads for MM2 (Personal reasons(not for hosting on sites))

Cheers!

Have you noticed my Dacia Logan conversion from GTA VC/SA? Now there's in the home page of this website as news. Then there's a way to convert that cars for MM2.
You need the registered version of ZModeler 2; both 2.0.8 and 2.0.9 versions are good.
With the registered version you can import cars models from GTA VC/SA and then export them in the old .z3d ZModeler 1 format. You need also this program, available here. The ZModeler 1.07b version, that's the latest available, is used to export the model for MM2.
Do a simple conversion isn't so easy; if you know how to do them it's a good thing. In this topic there are some aids for how made and convert cars for MM2.

Sounds like a bit of a mission

Will certainly give it a try

It'll get easy once you do a lot of them. All I can do are messed-up and bad conversions.

Hey!

Thanks for your advise everyone, but i have run into a minor problem

I dowloaded a car for GTA:SA, but its a .gmm format file and zmodeler2 wont load or import it. I have tried zmodeler v1.06 to see if that can open it but it can't either.

What should i do?

Thanks

I know that the GTA SA car model file type is .dff. Some cars have also a .col file, and for that is more hard apply the textures.
The GTA SA file type must be .dff. ZModeler v1.06 (as all ZModeler 1 versions) can't import/export files from/for most recent games.
