ICR2 - Invalid car set

by Joseph.Ledva,pai830,xx » Tue, 18 Mar 1997 04:00:00

Howdy,

I wanted to create a car set so I ran "paintkit joe", I then got
an error something like "Can not copy a file". So I copied cars/car95.dat
to joe/joe.dat, then brought it in to paintlit, painted my car, saved
it. When I try to read it in to ICR2 I get an error "Invalid car set".
Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone ran into this before?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Please send me email directly, I don't frequent
this group too often.

You are close to the solution.  When you run paintkit the command line
needs to include the "directory" name of a valid *.dat file.  The *.dat
file in the directory must have the same name as the directory and must
reside under the cars directory.  However, this directory must also
contain a valid drivers2.txt file.  For added measure also copy the
drivers.txt file to this directory.  Adding these 2 files should solve
the "invalid car set" error.  

For more information on using paintkit see the help file at
