Importing Skins from TMNF

[Miraculix123]

Is it possible to convert Trackmania Nations Forever Skins to Trackmania 2 Stadium.

If so: How, please refer me to proper instructions.

Regards

Are you talking about Stadium car 2D skins?

I'm pretty sure that's easier to import onto the new Stadium car than if you are talking about importing a 3D model.

I'd check the forum on ManiaPark and see if they have anything about it:

Edit: Oh I did find this topic here. It might be useful:

A great pity the 3D car models can't be imported from TM1 (even with no crash damage(prefered) or the odd piece of car missing) Guess I'll just have to ask the car creator (T.O.M) to make a TM2 version of my car (HINT )

Thanks for the answer, i was able to convert the car but not the wheels, can anyone link me to the right page for that. Seems like you has to change a lot in the files. Talking about 2D skin actually.

Sincerely

It all depends on which 3D-model you used in TM1. If it was the standard one, you may use this

model for TM2 and proceed like in the link from eyebo. For this model the wheels are in the detailsdiffuse.dds, so they should show up, if you do it like described.
For other models the wheels may be on other textures (like pilot.dds or wheels.dds) and you have to look for the proper TM2 model on Maniapark.

I hope this helps a little
