#TRACKMANIA 2 STADIUM EDITOR LIGHTS HOW TO#
I have searched everywhere and nothing seems remotely up to date on how to do, what I had hoped, was a simple action. I am providing link to the files off my googledrive for people to look at, both the Source folders used to creat ZIP files from the NadeoImporter and my source files, (including the Blender files) if someone can give me a definitive answer for this. Now all I have is a ton of useless packs which I can not delete. I tried creating a custom ‘pack’ and including the zip under content, it appears to work, but if I go back into the pack, there is nothing shown under content.

What I cannot do, no matter what I try, is access these models under my profile to select them for use in any game. If I load up Trackmania2 and go into Canyon / Stadium / Valley, (I have all 3 titles), going into “paint a car” off the menu, I can see the cars, I cannot paint ‘STest’ which I presumed would be right as it is effectively all “details”, but I can paint on ‘STestSplit’ With both models, using ‘h’ to activate helper keys, I can test wheel rotation, shadows and lights and all seem fine. I ran both through the NadeoImporter to create a Zip file with the 3 ‘Gbx’ files for use within Trackmania and these were created in the ‘CarCommon’ folder under the Maniaplanet folder for personal data. I Also tried separating the body as ‘sBody’ for the skin and the glass. I have managed to get a model basic out of Blender using only dBody and the wheel objects, it is a basic car which I output a DAE and copied to the 3 required files of MainBody.dae, ManBodyHigh.dae and MainBodyVeryHigh.dae The resulting zip was called ‘STest’

I am trying to get a model out of Blender into Trackmania2 as a custom car model to select for in the game, but so far, I am hitting a major brick wall.

I’m posting this here as the Maniaplanet forums are not proving much use and I’m hoping someone here has had success doing this recently and can offer some advice.
