The easiest easy is making a zip file. Then, download:
Zip2AR to convert it to a ar file or Zip2AR LOCK to make a locked ar file (prevents editing).

Glad it did work for ya. Programs provided by Volky.

No problem guys, if I found enough time I will update the MM2 Tools page on my site with all Volky's tools, including Ar Extractor with does support all Angel Studios games not only Midtown Madness 2 as DeAR2 did.

Just try to use them, no? Those programs are very good to make .ar files and have them locked, however, the easiest and quickest way is to make a .zip file using WinRar or 7Zip programs (better than WinZip program in .zip file compressing) and rename the extension to .ar file.

How to use Ar Extractor? With it you just have to just drag the .ar file* into it and there will be directories with extracted files. BTW, download it here.

*Ar Extractor is the best program available for Angel Studios games. Basicly it does extract EVERYTHING from .ar, .zip and .dat file that belong to their games.

PS
Steps are similar to the another programs, except with TEX to TGA/DDS converter you have just to run it in directory with textures.
