Hi!
Is it possible to convert old car models made in TrackMania Forever that so they will work on Maniaplanet as well?
Regards, ThomasMLS

To get your custom car from TMF to work in TM2 Stadium you need to do the following:
-Download the same car (3d model) that you use in TMF from Maniapark to TM2, Std. Stadium, MKII,Bibi Dirtmaster HD,Bibi Stadium V2 HD.
Open the .zip of the downloaded car to see the files that makes the car and delete the following files:
-Detailsdiffuse.dds
-SkinDiffuse.dds
-Icon.dds
Open the .zip of your TMF car and extract these files to your desktop:
-Details.dds
-Diffuse.dds
-Icon.dds
When extracted, rename details.dds and diffuse.dds to the same name as the ones you deleted from your TM2/Maniaplanet 3d-model, the Icon.dds can stay the same:
-Details.dds -> DetailsDiffuse.dds
-Diffuse.dds -> SkinDiffuse.dds
Now zip these 2 files and your Icon.dds into the .zip-file of the TM2/Maniaplanet 3d-model and voila, you have your TMF skin in TM2.

He asked how to convert TMF custom cars in TM2 not TMF skins of cars that already got ported in TM2

It used to be possible when the open beta for Canyons first came out but crash damage was not supported and sometimes (only sometimes) parts of the car were missing. This was no longer possible to do after Nadeo updated the game
It would be great to have it back if possible and word has it that they are trying so all we can do is wait and see and hope for the best.
